I have to say I am pleasantly surprised by the 2012 Singapore Grand Prix. I personally don’t like the circuit and have been largely unimpressed by the races since the opening race in 2008. Nevertheless, the 2012 event provided shocks, crashes and far more overtakes than I would ever expect at such a venue! Qualifying Whilst Qualifying 1 (Q1) did provide a shock exit when Kamui Kobayashi...

I think Jamie Alguersuari found it very difficult to describe the 2012 Hungarian Grand Prix when asked by James Allen to summarise the race with a few laps remaining towards the end of BBC Radio 5 live’s coverage. Alguersuari did a pretty good job in the end by explaining that the race itself wasn’t entirely boring, but that it hadn’t exactly been great. It was more a battle...

The 2012 German Grand Prix was one of the best complete weekends that I have seen in a long time, from a fantastic qualifying, in which three different tyre setups were needed in three different stages, to the race, which contained close action right to the finish. Fernando Alonso was able to take his third victory of the 2012 season and his second consecutive win at the Hokenheimring. The weekend...

From the shear disappointment of over 20,000 fans turned away for a sodden qualifying session, to the amazing last lap manoeuvres from the likes of Mark Webber, Bruno Senna and Michael Schumacher, and finally to the ludicrous new podium procedure, the 2012 British Grand Prix has provided very mixed results and emotions. Whatever your thoughts on the fan turn-away on Saturday or the ridiculous...

The 2012 Monaco Grand Prix was certainly a record-breaker. Never before had the top four cars finished so closely together around the tight street circuit, and the victory of Mark Webber marked the first time in history that a Formula One season has had six different winners in the first six races. However, close as it was at the end, in many respects the 2012 Monaco Grand Prix illustrated a...

Whilst I certainly wouldn’t call the 2012 Spanish Grand Prix a classic, it has given us a first win for Williams F1 since 2004, a first win for Pastor Maldonado, and I think most importantly of all, the fifth round of the 2012 Formula One season has been won by a fifth different driver for a fifth different team! Qualifying was a bit of a disappointment in many ways. The first round (Q1)...

I thought long and hard as to whether I should write anything about this highly controversial Grand Prix weekend. I don’t believe that you can separate sports from politics, though I would like to try to do that as far as I can, especially when considering Bleacher Report’s in-house rules. All I will say is this, I believe the FIA were wrong to race in Bahrain. However, the...

There can be no doubt that the biggest winners of the 2012 Malaysian Grand Prix were Ferrari. If you had told an F1 pundit at the end of the Australian GP—no, even at the end of qualifying in Malaysia, that a Ferrari driver would win, you would have been laughed out of the paddock! In my opinion, Fernando Alonso is the greatest driver on the grid at the moment, and his victory in a subpar car...

I’m not sure how to approach my review of the 2011 Korean Grand Prix. I was conscious that not a lot was happening as I watched the action unfold, I can’t remember the last time I wrote so little about a race in my notes, and yet somehow I don’t feel as disappointed as I would have expected with so little to talk about. This certainly was no classic, the DRS zone made the racing...

What a race! As you’ll see from the brief qualifying report, Saturday’s ‘action’, (or rather lack of), created an unwanted black cloud over Sunday’s race. However, from the very first corner it was clear that Suzuka wouldn’t disappoint when it really mattered. Qualifying The McLaren team finished every practice session on top in Japan, and many thought that the...
