Next weekend sees the start of the Formula 1 season. So for this week’s television presentation gem of the week, I had to feature The Chain. This week there is a campaign to get The Chain to number 1 in the charts for the start of the Formula 1 season. Here is the title sequence […]
F1 season review: websites
I am making this the last in my series of posts looking back on the 2007 Formula 1 season. Truth be told, I’ve become a bit sick of writing them every Sunday. I skipped last week. Anyway, next Sunday is in a different year, and it’s a bit off to be looking back when everyone […]
British F1 media bias isn’t just about Hamilton
Spot the difference. Pitpass: Honda to test three hopefuls Autosport: Honda to give test to GP2 trio Formula1.com: Honda to test young GP2 drivers ITV-F1: Honda to test Conway at Barcelona Oh yeah, ITV. And what about the other two? Oh wait, I forgot. They don’t count because they’re not British. It makes me sick!
The most biased article about Lewis Hamilton I have ever read
And that’s saying something! And would you credit it, it was by ITV-F1. WHY LEWIS IS TAKING THE FLAK, the headline screams, stomping its feet. The article by Mark Hughes (who is normally one of the more sensible ITV-F1 people) starts as it means to go on, by taking a true event and completely twisting […]

Now Webber’s quote takes on a new meaning
Remember Mark Webber’s controversial interview on ITV after his retirement at the Japanese Grand Prix? It’s kids, isn’t it. It’s kids with not enough experience, and they just go and fuck it all up! At the time, most people — myself included — thought that he was referring to Sebastian Vettel. But my brother brought […]
Too many thoughts on Fuji
Firstly — apologies for the lateness of my review of the Japanese Grand Prix. Another busy weekend spilled over into Monday, and is spilling over into Tuesday and Wednesday as well. (I am being very naughty by writing this post.) There are so many talking points that it is difficult to know where to start. […]
Could more adverts be a good thing?
Ofcom has said that it is thinking about letting television stations broadcast more adverts. Ofcom are considering allowing nine minutes of advertising per hour. Currently an average of seven minutes per hour is allowed, although a maximum of twelve minutes in any one clock hour is permitted. Longrider is a libertarian but reacts with horror […]
