Image credit: XPB/James Moy Photography In honour of Daniel Ricciardo's first points for Renault, this is a piece on the history of established, successful drivers leaving established, successful teams and how it worked out for them. I'm only discussing drivers who left of their own accord - or at least as best we can tell … Continue reading Walking away from a big team
Mercedes domination and Ferrari politics. Not much has changed in 1000 races. Image credit: Daimler AG Lewis Hamilton recovered from a tricky start to the weekend at the 2019 Chinese Grand Prix and ultimately took a comfortable win on what was Formula 1's 1000th grand prix. Coming into the weekend, most were expecting Ferrari to … Continue reading 2019 Chinese (1000th) GP report | Hamilton wins with ease
Round Three sees Shanghai host Formula 1's 1000th Grand Prix, hopefully with a race fitting of the occasion. The Burning Questions Will Charles Leclerc pick up where he left off after his stunning performance in Bahrain?

Is Bottas really rejuvenated and now a force to be reckoned with? Will the new regulations provide better racing at a track with a better potential for wheel-to-wheel racing? Can Leclerc … Continue reading 2019 Bahrain GP preview
Apologies for this being a bit late - there will be another post later which will explain why. But yes, the first race of the season - the 2019 Australian Grand Prix - is done and dusted...and produced probably as many questions as it did answers. So, let's get into it. Bottas Victorious Well then. … Continue reading 2019 Australian GP report
As I said, I had planned to do this post on Thursday but delayed it after the news about Charlie Whiting. But with only two practice sessions gone (and Ferrari potentially keeping their true pace under wraps), I think making some F1 2019 predictions for the entire season is still probably fair game... No? Well, … Continue reading Predictions that I’ll probably regret making
I was halfway through writing a predictions post when I heard the news about Charlie. And he is absolutely worthy of his own post rather than any kind of footnote. Charlie Whiting has been a name synonymous with the sport throughout my time following it. Growing up, I remember classing him, along with Professor Sid … Continue reading Charlie Whiting, 1952-2019
