It was not the greatest Grand Prix there has ever been, but there are still a few talking points to come away with. Firstly, it has to be said that Felipe Massa did a solid job today. Everyone has been throwing stones at him for the mistakes he made in Australia and Malaysia, so the […]
Thoughts on Australia and Malaysia
Well I didn’t get a chance to post my thoughts on the Australian Grand Prix. The Malaysian Grand Prix came around so quickly. It’s a bit much to have back-to-back races straight after the off season — like being thrown in at the deep end. Anyway, it’s a good opportunity now for me to get […]
ITV hands F1 coverage to the BBC: a post-mortem on ITV’s coverage
On Thursday I woke up too early. Having had a little over three hours of sleep, I stumbled out of bed to prepare for the day. I have outgrown the days of getting up early on my birthday, but this time it happened by accident. And I was brought a rather good birthday present by […]
What to call that funny bit on the BMW?
Having mulled over the various options, I opted to pop into the F1Fanatic live comments system for Saturday Practice. I found it very enjoyable, and would recommend it if you want to join for qualifying later tonight. A transcript of the Saturday practice chat is here. One discussion topic towards the end was what we […]
Predictions for 2008: the teams
Well, the teams have all now arrived in Melbourne. First practice gets under way at 11pm GMT this evening! How exciting! It also means that I have to rush to get my preview post written while there is still a point in making a prediction. I was hoping to write more predictions and hopes for […]

F1 season review: the constructors (11th–6th)
This is the third of my posts looking at different aspects of the 2007 Formula 1 season. I have discussed the drivers here and here. This post is the first of two in which I will assess the constructors. Or is that teams? Toro Rosso and Super Aguri barely deserve to be called constructors. Nevertheless, […]
F1 season review: the frontrunners
This is part two of my series of posts reviewing the F1 season gone by. Last week I wrote about F1’s backmarkers. This week: my top 13 drivers. 13 — Alexander Wurz When Alexander Wurz burst onto the scene in 1997, he was talked about as a hot prospect. I’d say he was the Nico […]
F1 season review: the backmarkers
At last! I have got round to starting on my review of the Formula 1 season. Because it has taken so long for me to get round to it, I have had enough ideas gestating around for me to write several posts on this. So I will write one post every Sunday for a few […]
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!
