Smartest move of the century? Probably yes. In the most recent rumours to hit the sport, there’s a suggestion that a certain Fernando Alonso will be donning the famous red and stepping into some nice new racing boots to take to the wheel of a Ferrari. For my money, he’d be stupid not to. As […]
Well, what can I say? I did predict the victory and Lewis Hamilton showed just what a class act he was by getting back up to the very top of the game. Conditions remained good throughout the Singapore F1 GP night race, though there was plenty of drama with crashes, penalties and other race events. […]

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”. Ironically, a post-race hearing moved Hamilton from fourth to third […]

Martin will therefore […]
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. […]
