August 23, 2009

It was great watching the 2009 European Grand Prix today. Here are my thoughts on the action:

European Grand Prix – Qualifying Is About To Start!

August 22, 2009

Q1 is about to start on BBC – and I can’t wait.  Who’s going to go through to Q2?  Will Kovaleinen hold it together?  What about Glock?  Sutil?  Alguersuari?  Can Hamilton build on his last victory or was it a one time only?  Of course, you can’t rule out Brawn – especially as rumours are [...]
