The high profile and dramatic collision between the Red Bull Racing drivers, Mark Webber and Sebastian Vettel, not only cost them the Turkish GP but could potentially end up being the turning point of the 2010 season.

The re-fuelling ban may have attracted many critics after a very processional Bahrain GP but it was the catalyst that created the thrilling Turkish GP. There have been many criticisms of the re-fuelling ban, including the fact that there is less strategy than before, it’s now more about nursing the car rather than pushing hard, and it’s more difficult to make progress from a poor grid position.

In the last two rounds in Spain and Monaco, Red Bull has finally started to turn their superiority over the rest of the field into big results. Furthermore, it appeared that Adrian Newey waved his magic wand again, and their margin over the rest of the field increased as opposed to decreasing.

Due to the uniqueness of the Monte-Carlo track, it has had a tendency to produce surprise results most years. There are a number of reasons why this has been a common theme here including: The slow nature of the circuit means that aerodynamic efficiency is much less important than at most tracks.

Heading into the Monaco GP, drivers and teams are concerned about weekend traffic. That’s not the normal everyday road traffic that circulates the streets of Monte-Carlo when F1 isn’t in town, but the potential threat that the new teams could ruin the laps of the frontrunners around the short and very narrow circuit. The main area of concern is the 20 minute Q1 session where there will...

There is no respite for the F1 circus this weekend as we head straight to the streets of Monte-Carlo for the Monaco GP. The track certainly couldn’t be any more different than Catalunya if it tried. The two tracks are at the opposite ends of the F1 circuit spectrum. Whereas Catalunya has fast and long corners, Monaco is full of twists and slow fiddly corners. Also unlike Catalunya, the drivers...

After a three-week break F1 heads to Spain for the fifth round of the 2010 championship. At this race we will learn a lot about how the rest of the season is likely to pan out for two main reasons: Firstly the Catalunya circuit is the ultimate test of a Formula 1 car.

The first three races of 2010 were very open with three different race winners from three different teams. Heading into China it was time to see if somebody could make a stand and edge ahead of the field as the title favourites. The majority were expecting Red Bull and Vettel to throw the gauntlet at their opposition, after their 1-2 in Sepang, and a Shanghai circuit which suited the team’s strengths. However...
