Stats

What a race that was! Easily the best race so far this season, the podium ended up with the same three drivers as most races this season but still a spectacular race.

Some very early stats this week, but as I’ll be in London for Formula E and Race Week London until Tuesday this is the best time to write everything.

The hills are alive with the sound of horsepower, unless you have a Honda engine. McLaren somehow managed to have a 50 place grid penalty at the Austrian GP, 25 for each driver.

F1 returns to the Red Bull Ring for the Austrian GP, Red Bull will be hoping they do better than they did last year at their home track.

The Canadian GP wasn’t quite as good as I had hoped it would be, but it wasn’t as bad as I first thought.

O Canada! Almost time for the Canadian GP at the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve, usually a good race.

Perhaps the most exciting part of the weekend, apart from Max Verstappen going wheel-to-wheel with Pastor Maldonado at Monaco, was the decision by Mercedes to pit Lewis Hamilton under the safety car. Or maybe it was the social media reaction afterwards. One of the main criticisms of race winner Nico Rosberg was the fact he had the audacity to celebrate …

What started off as a rather boring Monaco GP didn’t end too badly, unless your name is Lewis Hamilton.

It’s Monaco time, the slowest race in F1 and the only exclusion to the 305km race distance rule.

Lewis Hamilton didn’t win the Spanish GP! Nico Rosberg took pole position and sailed off into the distance to win the race.
