Yet again, the comments to a previous post have gone on an interesting tangent. Once again Jeff was behind it. He’s not afraid to get stuck into a debate and he always has some interesting points to share, even though I don’t always agree with him! I thought the discussion was quite good so I […]

Bluffer’s guide — Part 4: In context from F1 to F3
As outlined in a previous bluffer’s guide, there is no promotion or relegation and the decision for teams and drivers to enter F1 is essentially a business decision. But of course drivers (and sometimes teams) do not just appear out of thin air. There are countless other categories of motor racing that drivers also compete […]
The silly thing with the gown and stuff
There has not been much blogging this week because I have been quite busy. Part of that is because my next post is another epic rant unfortunately (looking like 2,000 words plus at the moment). But most of the time has been spent on preparation for the silly thing with the gown and stuff which […]
Paranoia over penalties
Well there has been a lot of controversy over who got penalised by the stewards at the French Grand Prix and who didn’t. And once again McLaren are at the centre of it all. After the Canadian Grand Prix I pointed out that Lewis Hamilton was beginning to show a worrying inability to accept when […]
More bad luck for Räikkönen as Trulli triumphs
Magny-Cours was always set to be a boring race. The circuit is not known for its competitive racing, and it’s difficult to imagine a more favourable circuit for Ferrari. The red team did indeed pull off into the distance, but that didn’t stop it being a more interesting race than expected. Kimi Räikkönen looked good […]

Student apathy
This post began as a response to Jeff in the comments to a post below. But it was getting long and waaay off topic. So I have decided to post it as a separate post. To save you from trawling all the way through the discussion, we were basically wondering whether the SNP can afford […]
Liveblog: French Practice
Ah, France. The country that invented motor racing. What a shame Magny-Cours is such a terrible circuit that gives us boring races. Oh well, you never know what will happen in F1, even at a boring circuit so we will all tune in as always. For the first time in a while, there will be […]
The people who want control of the blogosphere
Last week I was in the pub talking to a friend and we were talking about blogging. This person doesn’t know much about it, but he knows that I’m heavily interested in it. (NB. This person is a Labour Party supporter, which explains a lot.) He asked me a really strange question. “So, who is […]
