Mid-season report: Drivers 22nd–12th

The British Grand Prix marked the mid-point of the season. It is the perfect opportunity, therefore, to look back on the season so far. Which drivers have impressed and which have disappointed? This post outlines the drivers that I have ranked from 22nd to 12th. 22. Giancarlo Fisichella I am starting to think that Giancarlo […]

Bluffer’s guide — Part 5: Other motor racing series (continued)

Rebels turning to the Tories

Erk. I had a big pile of things I wanted to write about. But a lack of time and a mild bout of blog depression have meant I haven’t been updating. I didn’t realise my last post was as long ago as last Wednesday, but there we go. Anyway, before I can get motivated enough […]

Six GP2 drivers looking for an F1 seat

I can’t leave the British Grand Prix weekend alone without enthusing about the awesome weekend of GP2 action that came with it. Beforehand I wasn’t too sure about the skills of the current crop of GP2 drivers. But after the races there were a few drivers that I knew I had to keep an eye […]

The following week, in the French GP podcast, the pair were discussing the (at that time) new rumour that Donington […]

Heidfeld impresses, but what’s happened to Rosberg?

This is the second part of my British Grand Prix review. Read the first part here. You have to hand it to BMW. Just like France, the British GP weekend didn’t look like it was shaping up too well for them. Robert Kubica had to completely abandon Q3 (thereby qualifying 10th by default) due to […]

Hamilton masterclass as Ferrari foul up again

Anyone who has known me for long will know that I am no fan of Lewis Hamilton. But I really have to hand it to him for his performance at Silverstone yesterday. It was an absolute masterclass. People joke about how Hamilton describes every single win as his “best ever”. Yet this time around he […]
