The 2011 Catalunyian GP will probably go down in history as the best ever held at the circuit. Whilst I will admit that it was a good race by usual standards, I can’t help but feel continually short changed by the changes the 2011 season has brought. The two top teams are simply too fast for anyone else. Whilst this has been true of nearly every season, I think the addition of DRS, KERS, and...

Well, I wouldn’t say that today’s qualifying was as dull as the last event in Turkey as we got a different man on pole, and great performances from Fernando Alonso and Heikki Kovalainen. However, for the second straight Grand Prix weekend we also saw two men in first and second exit their cars before the final session was even over. As I said, there were flashes of excitement, but I’m...

Lewis Hamilton looked to be in real trouble just minutes before the start of the race. An overnight fuel leak had meant that parts needed to be desperately fixed before the lights went out. Despite this unwanted drama, the McLaren man went on to drive a phenomenal race and take a well-deserved victory. However, I’d like to stress that it certainly wasn’t the “Lewis show.”...

So far, Formula One 2011’s qualifying has given us the same man on pole for three consecutive races, and yet, it has also given us three great Saturday afternoons! By far, today’s event in China was the best. The final session was pretty formulaic and dull, but the two first sessions were significantly enough to cancel out the boring final 10 minutes! Qualifying One Sergio Perez...

The Malaysian Grand Prix very rarely disappoints and I’ve got to say the 2011 GP was another great event! There were overtaking maneuvers galore, battles that lasted multiple laps, and although the man who started pole finished first, it certainly wasn’t a routine win. The race got off to a fantastic start when all of the cars darted into turn one. Sebastian Vettel held on to P1,...

I think we probably witnessed something pretty special today. I still haven’t made my mind up when it comes to Sebastian Vettel’s personality, but I’m now certain that the man is a truly outstanding driver. Qualifying for the 2011 Malaysian Grand Prix was, on the whole, as expected, but I don’t think anybody expected the gripping showdown between McLaren and Red Bull in the...

I must admit I was concerned after qualifying that we would get a bit of a dull race this afternoon, but thankfully the Australian GP delivered, and the 2011 Formula One season has started with a bang. Now I’m not saying that this race was a stunner, because to be frank, it wasn’t. However, I think there was enough action at key moments to prevent this from being a dull procession. I also...

Of course my heart goes out to Bahrain for all of the turmoil the country is in, but from a purely Formula One perspective, I’d be lying if I told you I was anything but pleased to see F1 2011 kick off in Australia. After a very interesting set of preseason tests it looked as if Red Bull and Ferrari were the teams to beat. McLaren were floundering with a poor car and the mid-field looked the...

After the turmoil in the Gulf States, the scheduled test and race in Bahrain had to be cancelled. This left a bit of a break between the last test in Barcelona and the new Formula One opener in Australia. This short gap was filled though with one final trip to Barcelona’s Circuit de Catalunya. Red Bull’s Mark Webber had done very well on the final day last time out in Barcelona,...

The order of venues selected for Formula 1’s preseason tests seem pretty odd to me. The first test took place in Valencia on Spain’s East coast, then the F1 circus packed its bags and travelled approximately 500 miles to Jerez in the country’s southwestern region. For the third preseason test, the teams have travelled over 600 miles back across Spain to Barcelona (about 200...
