Jenson Button continued to march towards the World Championship title on Sunday, following his dominance of the Spanish Grand Prix. This is his fourth win in five races, after following a pit strategy that saw him overtake teammate Rubens Barrichello (don’t quote me on this but I doubt Barrichello can be too chuffed, given that […]
Yesterday, McLaren were handed a three race ban for misleading stewards at the Australian Grand Prix – significantly however, the ban is suspended. What this means in real terms is that, short of further evidence emerging or further breaches of the rules, McLaren should be fine to appear on the grid for the next three […]

In a move that’s no doubt going to be seen by some as a ‘falling on the sword’ tactic to take the heat from the team, Ron Dennis has spectacularly quit Formula One after more than forty years in the business. Dennis insisted that his decision had nothing to do with the recent scandal that’s […]
Both Lewis Hamilton and McLaren have been stripped of the podium finish they received after a wonderful performance at the Australian Grand Prix. Apparently, the reasoning behind this decision was that the team and driver were responsible for “providing evidence deliberately misleading to the stewards”.

Records were broken in the 2008 F1 season. Now, for the first time in Grand Prix history, another record is broken. Moving into 2009, all top teams will see their driver line-ups remain exactly the same as they did in 2008. Ferrari, McLaren, BMW-Sauber and Toyota have all confirmed that they will be keeping their […]
He’s actually the youngest ever world champion and more to the point, is Britain’s world champion – since Damon Hill back in 1996. In what was one of the most fraught and nervous races of the whole season, Hamilton began back in fourth – which would have been enough for him to take the title. […]
Things are more hot and sweaty in this year’s Grand Prix competition than they have been in a while – not least due to the controversy that Hamilton is causing. Let’s put it in a little perspective though, he’s the new guy on the block and suddenly very few of the other riders are getting […]
Lewis Hamilton had what looked to be the race in Japan sown up with a fantastic pole position from the qualifiers, but sadly this wasn’t to be. He finished outside the points in 12th place as he didn’t recover from a collision with Felipe Massa in the early stages of the race. Unsurprisingly for the […]
I’m sure you’ll have heard by now that Lewis Hamilton’s appeal has failed against his 25 second penalty from the Belgian Grand Prix (surprise surprise). In a not-at-all-shocking twist given that I predicted it, Hamilton has been left in third place, meaning that he’s only a single point up from Massa. This means that there’s […]
