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…

Hamilton dominates German Grand Prix

Lewis Hamilton today showed what a true world champion in the making looks like. Germany represented one of his most dominating races ever, elevating him to the ranks of Senna and Schumacher, with an almost faultless drive. The rest of the field including his teammate seemed destined from the very start to be relegated to…

Hamilton shows true class!

What a great qualification for tomorrows GP in Germany. Hamilton clinching pole on his final run leaving Mclaren first and third on the grid split by Massa. Heiki is followed by Alonso who delivered an amazing result (probably lower on fuel than the rest of the top six) This race could provide Mclaren with that…

German GP shaping well for Mclaren and Hamilton

Looking at the free practice results for yesterday (Friday) Hamilton topped the sheets by almost 700th of of a second, miles ahead by F1 standards. As mentioned in my previous post re the coming GP, variable weather conditions could play into Mclaren’s hands, in particular Lewis. As long as his time’s remain where they are…

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…

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…

How will the season shape

We are certainly shaping for an interesting next half to the season. With at least the top four drivers in a realistic position to take the title. Nick and Heikki will have some work to do, but if they remain on track and consistently end in the points then they will also be in it. We have…

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 throws it away!

I understand that drivers make basic errors from time to time, but the one on Sunday (rear ending Kimi) at the end of the pit lane was really basic. Throughout you racing career you are taught to watch the flags, check the lights etc. The rason for this basic fact is that if you ignore…
