My previews so far have suggested certain performances from certain teams and drivers. They have been pretty much useless. Case in point, Shanghai, China. This one was a slow burner, but ended as a classic. Qualifying produced a second consecutive Ferrari front row lockout. Kimi Raikkonen was close but Sebastian Vettel was able to snatch […]
It’s that wonderful time when Formula 1 races take place on consecutive weekends – everyone has packed up from Bahrain and quickly relocated to the Shanghai International Circuit, near the city of the same name, for round three of the 2018 season. Once again we have a venue with different characteristics to the two previous […]
The desert can be cruel to those who underestimate it. It can reward those who fight. Welcome to Sakhir, Bahrain. A dramatic race, considerably more exciting than Australia two weeks previously, provided sparks, spectacle and plenty of overtakes. The action started even before a wheel had been turned in anger, with Mercedes’ Lewis Hamilton receiving […]
Welcome to round 2 of the 2018 F1 season. Welcome to a very different venue, in virtually every aspect, to the previous round in Melbourne, Australia. Bahrain will provide drivers and teams with completely different challenges. For starters, the very track itself has different characteristics. The Bahrain International Circuit is built for racing, unlike the […]
It’s been a looooong wait, but this morning my lust for Formula was sated, thanks to the inaugural round of the 2018 season, at Albert Park, Melbourne, Australia. There’d been the possibility of rain, but it never materialised, with bright sunny weather providing the backdrop to the race. Mercedes’ Lewis Hamilton had put his Silver […]
It’s time. After what has felt like an eternity, F1 is back! The curtainraiser is the beautiful Albert Park, a street race in the city of Melbourne, Australia. By now Albert Park has firmly established itself as a fan and driver favourite. Street venues have a different dynamic to race tracks, given the constant usage […]
The 2017 F1 season has reached its conclusion, in rather tame fashion, with a reminder that Mercedes remain the team to beat. They took a comfortable 1-2 finish for only the fourth time in 2017 (a mark perhaps, of how the gap has closed), with the twist that Valtteri Bottas emerged the winner. He qualified […]
We’ve reached the end of the 2017 F1 season, a season that gave us a resurgent Ferrari and an inkling of how competitive Red Bull can be given the right conditions. It’s seen the breakdown of McLaren’s relationship with Honda and post-Europe implosion from Ferrari. It’s seen Lewis Hamilton break the record for all-time pole […]
Yesterday’s Brazilian Grand Prix was about fighting back, in more ways than one. For Lewis Hamilton, it was about making the most of a pit-lane start after a crash in qualifying. For Daniel Ricciardo, it was about overcoming a poor start and a grid penalty, and for Sebastian Vettel and Ferrari, it was about reminding […]
Breached the 70K mark on my wip! Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!
This is just sheer absolute, exquisite beauty.
I have eaten too much pizza.
I don't think it's up to you to decide what's best for women, nor whether or not men can find them attractive...
What’s the most fun way to exercise? I know of a fun way to burn off calories, but I’ll not be sharing the details here! I don’t know if I could call any of the standard means of seeking fitness ‘fun’. I’ve been doing regular sit-ups since the start of April, interspersed with a few […]
