Monza certainly lived up to the fearsome reputation for speed this afternoon – though there were several smaller dramas than one big one. There were a couple of accidents in the pit lane (never surprising when this happens given the speed at which these guys work) and sadly Mark Webber was knocked out of the […]
There’s been a lot happening since the last F1 GP race, so it’s worth covering some of the more interesting stories here this evening. The first bit of news is that Nelson Piquet Jr is accusing Renault of attempting to fix a race last year by asking him to crash out at last year’s Singapore […]
Will Renault quit F1 over the investigation into the Singapore Grand Prix last year? That’s the rumour doing the rounds and there’s no doubt that Flavio Briatore is a very influential, decisive and determined man who is not afraid of controversy. Apparently, the FIA is looking into the race that was won by Fernando Alonso, […]
It was great watching the 2009 European Grand Prix today. Here are my thoughts on the action: Despite being first and second respectively, the McLaren team could only manage a finish of second and fourth, with Lewis Hamilton narrowly missing out on taking first place. Hamilton was due in for a pit stop around lap […]
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 […]

In a (probably not so) shocking announcement, Ferrari have stated their intention to place Schumacher into one of their famous red cars until Massa is able to race once again. The seven-times world champion is undergoing some very specialist training to ensure he’s up to the job, though few will doubt that he’s got the […]
After the shock (and huge) crash that Felipe Massa suffered in Hungary, it gives me pleasure to post the fact that doctors are hopeful that the Ferrari F1 driver will be able leave the hospital next week. Massa was knocked almost unconscious by a spring from a Brawn car, which caught him on the side […]
Just as Eddie Jordan predicted prior to the race, Lewis Hamilton put in a breathtaking performance in today’s Hungarian Grand Prix by cruising home to victory – swiftly followed by the Ferrari of Kimi Raikkonen! Inside of the fourth lap, Hamilton managed to take first position – which he used to convincingly build up a […]
As part of the deal to avoid a breakaway series next year, Max Mosley has agreed to not stand for re-election for the FIA next year. It’s likely that Bernie Ecclestone had significant involvement in the discussions, in order to ensure that the future of F1 as it stands remained secure. Interestingly, prior to the […]
