Classic F1: Mansell vs Senna
My attempt to recreate one of the epic duels between Nigel Mansell and Ayrton Senna – a bit rough around the edges but I like it!

(Daniel Ricciardo darts down the inside of turn 1 at the start of the Chinese GP) Three races, three wins for Nico Rosberg in 2016 – and three entertaining races after China delivered. There was drama even before the race when Lewis Hamilton was unable to take part in qualifying owing to a lack of […]
Round 2 of the 2016 F1 season is done and dusted, and the happiest man in the paddock will without question be Nico Rosberg, after a comfortable win. His victory was virtually assured at the first corner, when Lewis Hamilton once again got away slowly, allowing himself to be squeezed going into turn 1, where […]
After a brief pause following the exciting opening round in Australia, Formula 1 returns for round 2 in hot and dusty Bahrain, for the first of the ‘transitional’ races, which start during the evening and finish up under floodlights. In 2014 Lewis Hamilton won here after a race-long battle with Nico Rosberg, and Hamilton won […]
The penultimate round of my little career concluded earlier on, with yet another wet race at Interlagos. My previous two attempts to win this grand prix failed, with the conditions proving tricky on tyres – a three stop strategy was the way to go, but intermediate tyres don’t fare too well even on a three […]
The inaugural race of the 2016 F1 season has just finished, and straight away I can say it was a considerably more entertaining fare than last year’s offering. Qualifying -New Format is a Farce For 2016 the aim had been to shake things up with a new ‘elimination style’ qualifying format, with the slowest car […]
It’s time! After what has felt like an eternity, Formula 1 is blasting back onto our screens! First up, Melbourne, Australia. This race will mark twenty years of hosting the Australian GP at Melbourne, and this ‘kat aims to be awake for the 5am start! 58 laps will be run, covering over 300KM (barring protracted […]
It’s been a while since I’ve done one of these. Over the winter months I’ve been putting off the final three rounds of the season, and indeed, career mode (since F1 2009 only allows for three seasons). I wanted to finish this project though, so I forged ahead with round 15 – Japan, at Suzuka. […]
Have chinks appeared in Mercedes Armour? A dominant performance throughout practice, qualifying and the race itself. An established champion easing to victory. It sounds like a typical Hamilton-led Mercedes performance, but yesterday this was very much not the case. Instead, it was the scarlet Ferrari of Sebastian Vettel that controlled the race, having taken pole […]
So, after a brief break, I got back into the F1 groove with round 11 in Valencia. At the time of writing this, I’ve completed Practice 1 and Practice 2, and I haven’t especially enjoyed the experience. The track has proven to be quite challenging, and to begin with I was more than a second […]
The powerful Chon’ith Empire has expanded rapidly and aggressively, conquering all in their path. Stubborn and dogmatic, the Chon’ith do not accept retreat, and for years their passionate approach to warfare has won them many battles - until now #scifi
Boris Johnson has crawled out of the woodwork to join Nigel Farage in saying the UK needs a referendum on ECHR membership
If UK media is going to give him a platform to spout this boll**** it’s
up to all of us to call it out. RT this if you agree
Sometimes you can tell someone something, and they will acknowledge you, and then completely contradict you a few days later. I am of course referring to the wonderful world of retail.
What might Cicada 3301 be? Well, it’s a puzzle, and from what I am led to understand, it’s a very clever, complicated, three-part challenge, devised by parties unknown, for purposes unknown, back in 2012. There are plenty of theories, including the idea that it was some kind of recruitment system, especially since the person/people behind […]
