Massa wins and get 10 000 Euro fine

Valencia definitely provided a great race on Sunday with many teams still working out the best strategy to follow, we have to acknowledge the driving of Massa to effectively lead from the front and securing the win. Hamilton coming in second place was probably the best that Mclaren could have hoped for. Raikkonen suffered behind many…

European Grand Prix

This week see the end of the “break in testing” and onto the European Grand Prix. This circuit (Valencia) will be provide some really exhilarating racing, with cars reaching some very high speeds (300 kph) and also having to content with slow corners (80 kph). Typical of a street circuit there is going to be…

Hungarian flip….

This race has turned up a different winner for the past 7 years in a row, maybe this fact together with what appeared yesterday to be an over confident Lewis Hamilton, may go some way to defining this race. The race was marked by an incredible start by Massa, who moved from third place to…

Mclaren lock out front row for Hungarian GP

Qualification only moments ago ended with Mclaren locking out the front row in terms of the race for Sunday. Ferrari’s Massa coming in third and looked like he drover the living day lights out of the Ferrari. Certainly Kimi Raikkonen must be a worried man and the Ferrari team equally must be concerned about his…

Whos Hungry for Hungary???

Rather a corny opening title, but it was the best I could come up with….. With a little under 20 hours to go before the start of another race weekend, the confidence in the Mclaren camp must be at an all time high. Lewis sitting on a hat trick has a very real opportunity to…

German GP who wants the title more??

I think that the German GP scheduled this weekend is going to give us a view of who wants the ultimate title of World Champion more. We currently have a three way tie at the top of the leader board, with Hamilton, Raikkonen and Massa on the board at 48 points a piece with 2 others hot on…

Mclaren with some work to do!!!

Sunday’s race was filled with some promise, Heiki showed what the Mclaren could do despite being in 10th. Lewis certainly went for it, but once again made a fairly rookie mistake, breaking too late resulting in him crossing the curb. Lewis it would seem is not unlike Fernando Alonso, who also makes these types of…

Lewis Hamilton not a team player??

I read this morning that while Lewis agrees with the other Formula one drivers that the 200 000 euro’s per year is a huge amount of money for the super licence, that he would not support a strike. Further in the article I see that he is not a member of the drivers union. I really…

Hamilton victorius!

Well it is was a superb bit of driving on Sunday, with a masterful clip of the barrier allowing the change in strategy and ultimately the correct tyre choice later in the race that saw Lewis drive to victory. It was fitting that Kimi finished where he did, he always looked to be playing second…

Low fuel or passion

As mentioned in my post yesterday, I felt that on his home turf Alonso might spoil the party. Well after final qualification we have in second, separating the two Ferrari’s. Last year driving for Mclaren, Alonso, took the outside line into corner one and things got very tense. Will we see a repeat of this?…
