Brazilian drama!

Lewis Hamilton proved me wrong, but not through spectacular driving, but rather because Timo Glock could not handle his “dry tyres”. I must say that as a Mclaren fan I am obviously ecstatic about the win in terms of the drivers champion and I think that this might just be the impetus to get Lewis on the road to…

One Week to go…

Well there is a little under one week to go until the final Grand Prix of the year. The pressures everywhere are up and the drivers must have more than a little to contend with on the nerves front. The teams to must be on edge and one can only imagine what the team bosses…

Hamilton answers where it counts – on the track

Lewis Hamilton has answered the critics this weekend, he dominated all of the sessions and delivered just moments ago an amazing drive to win the Chinese Grand Prix. Massa certainly looked out of sorts and finished in second place after Kimi backed off to allow him through. Kimi certainly showed some good race pace, so…

Hamilton must win China

With first practice out of the way, and only moments to go until the second practice finishes, Lewis and Massa need to both show that they are potential world champions. Certainly of the two Lewis was burdened with this mantel from the beginnings of his career. Lewis managed to draw the first blood on the track…

Japanese Grand Prix hours away!!

In just under 20 hours time the race weekend officially starts in terms of the Japanese Gand Prix. It appears that the race will be run in dry conditions, with only some cloud cover predicted for the qualies. The means that the qualies will be interesting, given the Ferrari preference for warmer weather. The championship is…

Mclaren strategic for rest of season!!???!!!

I was more than a little concerned to read that Mclaren were focusing on a more strategic approach to their title hopes for the rest of this season. I understand that they believe this season is theirs to lose, but being overly careful (my word for strategic approach) could well lead to them losing the…

FIA takes the back door!!

Effectively taking to the pit lane and moving into the garage without making a comment, that is exactly how I view the decision by the FIA (IFA), to the appeal made by Mclaren. The FIA (IFA) simply wasted everybody’s time by actually having a hearing given that they took the simple way out. They used the…

Spa, Hamilton victorious to all except FIA!!!

In yet another mind blowing decision, or rather selective application of the rules, we see that the FIA have imposed a retrospective penalty on a driver (Hamilton). Spa showed that Lewis is a better driver than most when it comes to wet conditions. Controversially the stewards have applied a 25 second penalty causing Lewis to…

Hamilton silences his critics!!

The British Grand Prix today was a definitive race for Hamilton. He comprehensively out drove the rest of the field. This despite the tactical error by Ferrari when they elected not to change the tyres of Kimi’s car at the first pit stop. I am convinced though that Lewis demonstrated his ability in the wet…

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…
