Feeling Accomplished

It’s a minor thing, but I’ve now put together nearly 68,000 words of my Warlord story. I’ve developed a few new Formula 1 pages (including updates to driver profiles, a new section on circuits and an expanded F1 Explained section). Of course, in normal circumstances, I wouldn’t have had the time to do any of […]

Things I want right now

At the top of  this list is a haircut. I need a haircut. I will quite happily go for a number two all over (that’s shaving it really short, for those who are wondering). I am even considering doing it myself, if I can find something on Amazon that’s A: cheap and B: won’t take an […]

Vettel and Ferrari to part ways

In the absence of activity on the racing track, there is at least some action off the Formula 1 circuits. Sebastian Vettel, four-time world champion, will leave Ferrari, where he has been since 2015, at the end of the year.

I begin this post with an apology.

It was possibly a key turning point […]

F1 2018 Round 5 – Spain

After a couple of weeks off, it’s back to business for Formula 1 and it’s the Circuit de Barcelona Catalunya that plays host to round five. This is a circuit every team will know extremely well, as pre-season testing takes place here. In theory, everyone will be nailing their setups, though teams often bring upgrades […]

The 2018 Azerbaijan Grand Prix

It’s quite amazing how a couple of weeks – or even a couple of minutes – can flip Formula 1 around. On both a macro and a micro scale, Azerbaijan illustrated this point perfectly. It had been a race that was set to be fairly close between the Ferraris and the Mercedes’, at least on […]

F1 2018 Round 4 – Azerbaijan

Welcome to the third race F1 has held around the street circuit at the curious combination of cosmopolitian and traditional Baku – but only the second Azerbaijan Grand Prix. Confused? Hold on… In 2016 Formula 1 came to Azerbaijan for the first – and so far only – Baku Grand Prix, which was won by […]
