I’ve managed to half forget this race, but here goes – it was a routine win. A fifth win in seven races keeps me in the mix for the title – I am one point behind chief challenger Mark Webber. The practice runs had led me to believe I would actually struggle a little – […]
It’s a case of job done, for both Lewis Hamilton and Nico Rosberg, who both did what they needed to do to keep their title challenges alive following a slow-burning Mexican Grand Prix. It began in somewhat controversial fashion, and ended with considerably more controversy. In the run down to turn 1 Hamilton misjudged his […]
So we come to round 19 of 21, with a few stories to still wrap up. Will Manor hold on to 10th in the constructor’s championship, and thus claim extra prize money? Will Force India keep 4th place ahead of Williams? And of course, who will be crowned world champion of 2016? That final […]
Having had a disasterous Japanese Grand Prix, Lewis Hamilton bounced back with a much-needed victory at the Circuit of the Americas yesterday, closing the gap on Mercedes’ teammate Nico Rosberg to 26 points with three races to go. It was a weekend that saw Hamilton ultimately dominate the race, having qualified on pole, and having […]
Round 18 of the 2016 F1 season brings us to Austin, Texas, for the US Grand Prix – the fifth time this venue has hosted the race. A circuit that has proven popular with drivers, due to a cherry-picking of elements from other tracks that has actually worked quite well, Austin has also proven […]
This is going to be a brief review of the race itself, as I was away at the weekend and haven’t seen it. I know of the result though, and I know the ramifications for the title battle. Nico Rosberg is nearly there. He needs only finish second to Hamilton in the remaining four races […]
There are five races to go in the 2016 F1 season, with round 17 taking place at one of Formula 1’s most iconic and classic venues – Suzuka, Japan. Suzuka is a demanding circuit that requires bravery and skill, with several corners which are more than capable of kicking a driver off the track. It […]
As the dust settles on this one, it would appear that Nico Rosberg now has a stranglehold on the world championship. At the start of the race, things seemed very different. For once, Lewis Hamilton got a good start, staying ahead of Rosberg into turn 1. Rosberg was the victim of an ill-advised lunge down […]
As the championship fight enters its decisive phase, F1 comes to Sepang, Malyasia, for a venue that rivals Singapore for heat and humidity. This race has been high drama in the past – the 2009 race was abandoned due to torrential rain, whilst in 2013 Sebastian Vettel famously defied team orders to pass his Red […]
Where do I start? I have no idea how to properly articulate this race. Monaco is the supreme challenge, but on F1 2009 the AI is not as polished as it is on later games, with the result being that I have won here, by a couple of laps, despite prangs and penalties of my […]
When Michael found an old mirror in his late grandfather's study, he never imagined it would reveal a hidden piece of family history. Trapped in a strange realm, and changed by the mirror's properties, Michael must unravel his grandfather's legacy. #Kindle
Wow Joanne, wearing your cruelty on your sleeve now. Does it make you feel good to use your platform to demean others @jk_rowling? Do you derive satisfaction from the hurt you cause, Joanne?
Like 6, most annoying character! Some might say Navi the fairy from Ocarina of Time, I say Fi from Skyward Sword. Fitting that the most annoying Zelda game features the most annoying character!
Right, like 5. Which game character do I feel most like? I am scatty and neurotic, so probably Earthworm Jim!
It appears Spring has finally sprung! Welcome back to The Meerkat Muse! Tired Times Back at the very end of April, my wife and stepdaughter went to see the band Train in concert, at the Royal Albert Hall in London. Getting there was reasonably straight-forward, but getting back had the potential to be very awkward. […]
