Another Fantastic Preseason Test in Jerez, Spain Keeps F1 2011 Shaping Up Well

After the three-day test in Valencia last week, the F1 circus headed southwest across Spain to Jerez for a four-day test.   As expected, Red Bull, Ferrari and McLaren (using an interim car) were decent. However, there were a couple of interesting performances from Force India and Renault.  So the scene was set for a few more interesting days in Jerez.  After a pretty miserable first... 

Ford Sues Ferrari Over Formula One Team’s Names and Logos

Ford have decided to sue Ferrari because of Scuderia’s choice of name for its 2011 racing car. Traditionally Ferrari, and for that matter most F1 teams, have linked their car names to the year in which they race. So, last year’s Ferrari was the F10, Jenson Button raced in a Honda RA106 in 2006, and Fernando Alonso was crowned Champion in 2005 thanks to his Renault R25 (etc, etc). So, I... 

Formula 1: Valencia’s Test Sets the Scene Beautifully for the 2011 Season

After three days testing in Valencia it is clear that the teams who ended last year well, look strong for next season. However, having three different drivers (and teams) top the time sheet on each day certainly means that 2011 is shaping up very nicely!  We picked up on Tuesday where we left off in Abu Dhabi with Sebastian Vettel on pole position. Vettel was the first Red Bull driver to test...

Ferrari Unveil New F150 Car: Will It Finally Bring Fernando Alonso Third Title?

Today Fernando Alonso and Felipe Massa have become the first drivers to unveil their teams’ 2011 Formula 1 car. It is hoped that the Ferrari F150, (named in homage to 150 years of Italian unification), will be able to make up for the disappointing end to 2010 when Fernando Alonso narrowly missed out on becoming a three-time World Champion. Now, to relatively untrained eyes like mine, the... 

Sabastien Vettel F1 Champion, But Did We Really Get the Showdown Promised?

OK so I’m an Alonso/Ferrari fan, I make no secret of that fact. I realize that by criticising the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix I’m leaving myself open for easy criticism. However, to be perfectly frank, as F1 fans, can you really sit back and state that the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix was anything other than a disappointment? Sure, 2010 has been a roller coaster season and the final event was tantalising,... 

Vettel Takes Pole Position in a Phenomenal Abu Dhabi 2010 Qualifying

Now, I’ve made no secret of the fact that I don’t like the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix. I think it says a lot about Bernie Ecclestone’s priorities that the final race of the season has been given to a country where the average citizen owns just under $18 million (£11 million). However, I will most certainly concede that it is fantastic to see the final race decide the Championship;... 

Red Bull Crowned Constructors’ Champions, But It All Comes Down to Abu Dhabi

  I must admit (and I’m not just saying this as an Alonso fan), I would really have liked it if the Brazilian Grand Prix concluded the 2010 season. I make no secret of the fact that I dislike the new “flashy circuits,” but when you consider the great show we were treated to today, you’d surely agree with me that such a historic venue should have the honour of closing out... 

World Class Pole for Hulkenberg in Tricky Brazilian Grand Prix Conditions

In all my time as an F1 fan I have never been disappointed by the Brazilian Grand Prix and today’s qualifying session was no different. I will concede that the first two sessions seemed pretty dull (despite big name drop outs and difficult conditions). However, the last few seconds of qualifying three were more exciting than some of 2010’s two hour races!   Qualifying One Rain from... 

Fernando Alonso’s Victory Gives the Korean Fans the Show They Deserve

At several stages this year it looked as if the Korean Grand Prix was never going to happen. First, heavy rain delayed building significantly, then the track was only declared safe on October 12, and finally despite qualifying being successfully completed, heavy rain on Sunday nearly dashed the hopes and dreams of thousands of eager Korean fans. Initially delayed for just 10 minutes it was decided...
