Loved the Azeri GP. Good to see STR/Alpha Tauri doing so well. Vettel also really deserved that podium, so well done to him and to Alonso who grabbed some valuable points at that restart.
Seems like we have ourselves a Championship this year.
RB and Merc to decide victory among them, McLaren and AlphaTauri to battle it out for third. Both Ferrari and Aston to severely disappoint. Vettel to step down at the end of season. Alpine to put in a few surprises with Alonso. Kimi to once again be…
I guess as Minardi fans, we're all naturally more in tune with what happens further down the field :)
Good to see you guys still check in every now and then, 20 years later! Merry Christmas and lots of health and happiness for 2021!
When the stars align, everything works out. You saw it with Schumacher in the early 2000s and with Lewis over the past seasons. They knew how to set up a team to work for them in a way that others never did. Well deserved.
Forza Minardi!!!
I'm also quite happy for Pierre Gasly, whose "downgrading" from Red Bull in favour of Albon was quite harsh. He must feel so vindicated today.
Never thought Williams would turn into the Minardi of the grid (though that statement is unfair on Minardi, who never had that kind of budget). Red Bull seem actually competitive with the new Honda engine, while McLaren... dear me why do they bother?
Looks like antipodean driver Brendon Hartley got the axe at Toro Rosso. It's a shame, because I thought he had made some progress this season, though perhaps not fast enough. The search for the first Kiwi World Champion since Denny Hulme (I admit to…
Did Stroll try to kill Hartley in Canada? Weird how there are moments when Hamilton just isn't there at all. Almost as if someone was telling him to keep the championship exciting :)
The Red Bull crash was waiting to happen but I can't quite tell who was at fault. Did Max breaktest Daniel? He did seem to go awfully slow at that point. Then again, in insurance terms, if you whack it into the back of the car ahead of you, you're a…
Never before has so little understanding of the sport been shown in one single post ;-D Well done Ricciardo, a very mature drive. Verstappen making friends again.
You have to wonder whether, like Hartley did today, just edging into Q2 and then coming in last isn't worse than coming in 16th or 17th and finishing up after Q1 in terms of wear and tear and overall strategy.
Ferrari looking very good, Hamilton h…
And a fourth place to top it off. McLaren never did better with Honda since 2015, that's a result to be proud of!
What really surprises me is how close all the teams are together this year, maybe with the exception of Williams. You really have to a…
I actually thought Alonso's move was inspiring given his age, he really went for it. A few tenths of a second later and he would have made it through that first corner.
I felt for Max. He had quite a few incidents in the past that were his fault bu…
Well look at this article from 2008 https://www.autosport.com/f1/news/65874/toro-rosso-team-put-up-for-sale
Ten years later, he's still holding on to them. You all know how critical I was of the whole sale at the time but in hindsight, I don't th…
Looks like McLaren have ditched Honda (logical) to be replaced by Renault (not so logical but no alternative)
this speaks volumes

I left the track at 7 pm and the motorway was still chock-o-block. Managed to make progress by leaving the motorway and choosing one of those winding roads through the Ardennes. Increased the risk of deer strike but at least there was no traffic. Bu…
