Sebastian Vettel Takes Pole in Spa After the Best Qualifying Hour Yet

Regular readers of my stuff will probably know that I haven’t exactly sung the praises of Qualifying in 2011. However, I think you’d need to put me in a mental hospital if I tried to tell you anything other than the fact that Spa 2011 gave us one of the best qualifying shows I can remember in a long time! Of course, Formula One and controversy go hand in hand, and after the despicable BBC/Sky... 

Jenson Button Cements His Place as a Great with His 200th Grand Prix

I was unfortunately unable to watch Sunday’s 2011 Hungarian Grand Prix live as I had other commitments. This was a shame on so many levels as having now watched a re-run, I realise I missed a cracker of a race. Perhaps more irritating on a personal level, though, I missed one of my F1 heroes completing his 200th Grand Prix in the best way possible. Not only did Jenson Button manage to win, he... 

Vettel Takes Hungarian Pole in Another Pathetic Formula One Qualifying Session

I wasn’t going to talk much about the disgusting deal that the BBC has done with it’s Formula One rights for the United Kingdom. But, after yet another pathetic qualifying session and coverage that failed to mention the new deal once, I’ve simply had enough. Formula One has been my sporting life since I was about six or seven years old, but as I’ve grown older I feel I have... 

Fernando Alonso Gives a Master Class at a Fantastic 2011 British Grand Prix

After an extremely poor Grand Prix weekend in Valencia, I entered the British Grand Prix feeling pretty deflated and expecting little. What a pleasant surprise then that we were treated to a great qualifying session, followed by such an interesting race. There was some great tension before the lights even went out as the very changeable conditions had created a situation in which half the track was... 

Mark Webber takes Pole in a great Silverstone 2011 qualifying session

I don’t think many people would argue with the statement that 2011’s Formula One qualifying sessions have been some of the dullest in years. Even at places like Canada (my favourite circuit of the season), Saturdays have been terrible. So I headed into Silverstone expecting very little, and boy was I pleasantly surprised! Even though the first and final sessions were cut short by rain,... 

European Grand Prix: Unstoppable Vettel Wins a Processional 2011 European GP

Sebastian Vettel became the first driver to finish in the top three for the first eight races recently at the 2011 European Grand Prix in Valencia.  I think this was the race with the greatest number of finishers (24) and was also only the fourth race in F1 history in which every car finished. The race in Valencia may have provided fans with some pretty interesting statistics, but to be perfectly... 

Sebastian Vettel Takes an Easy Pole in the 2011 European GP

Of course it was going to be hard for anything to be able to beat the phenomenal show that was the Canadian Grand Prix. So I guess it’s no real surprise that the qualifying for the 2011 European Grand Prix felt so flat. I have to say 2011 qualifying has been some of the worst I’ve ever seen, and frankly even Canada’s qualifying wasn’t exactly heart stopping. Each session followed... 

Jenson Button Wins the Best Race of the 2011 Season in Canada

The Canadian Grand Prix never fails to impress. I have to admit after a pretty mediocre qualifying session and a delay of over two hours after just 25 laps, I was beginning to worry about the 2011 race. But, when the race restarted at 15:50, we were treated to easily the best race of 2011, and one of the greatest final laps I’ve seen in a long time. I mean, when was the last time we had a photo... 

Sebastian Vettel Adds the Canadian Grand Prix to His List of Formula 1 Poles

I love the Canadian Grand Prix. Canada has one of the best race circuits in the world and some of the best fans who never fail to fill the grandstands. However, it’s hard to explain how I felt about the qualifying for the 2011 Grand Prix in Montreal. Yes, Sebastian Vettel is pole again, but he was pushed to the very last corner by a resurgent Ferrari. In that respect, the qualifying today was... 

Sebastian Vettel Pole in Monaco After Yet Another Flat Qualifying

 The qualifying sessions in the 2011 season have, frankly, been pretty appalling so far. With the new degrading tyres, it has become so important to save them that drivers don’t seem to fight right down to the wire anymore. This has led to generally flat opening sessions and very poor final “shootouts,” as, more often than not, the teams who fail to set the bar in their first...
