I am an armchair expert, of the kind as described by Ron Dennis in the afterglow of the 2008 British Grand Prix. I did not watch the race from my armchair but in my expert opinion what I saw was the kind of virtuoso performance that will be spoken of…

Silverstone loses the British GP… to Donington
There is something in the water in Northamptonshire. We have been advised, by Anglian Water, not to drink their product from the taps. Good news for suppliers of the bottled stuff but bad news for some mechanics from Red Bull Racing who, allegedly, did not hear the advice in time.
And…

Flag Art at the Festival of Speed
Having recently gone to visit Jason Bruges, an artist who previously trained as an architect, I wrote a small piece in the latest edition of Motor Sport about his artwork that Veuve Cliquot is showing outside their marquee at the Festival of Speed.

Competition
You may well remember that I recently wrote a blog singing the praises of Kangaroo TV. Well I have since been to Le Mans and can report first hand that it is, and I am sorry for sounding slightly gushing, utterly brilliant.

A more relaxed Le Mans
If you have ever been to Le Mans and spent much of the time running back and forwards trying to find the best place to watch, like I have, you may be interested to hear about Kangaroo TV.
Being far from a regular exerciser, the thought of 24-hour access to real-time…

Summertime in Sweden
Sunday June 8 will go down in the diary as one of those special motor racing days.
Breakfast with Stefan Johansson, surely one of the truly great guys in the sport. He’s back in Sweden to drive a March 761 in the Ronnie Peterson Historic Grand Prix.

Will F1 ever return to the USA?
After a nine-year run at Indianapolis, we are once again without a United States Grand Prix. As we all know, the Canadian Grand Prix in Montreal this weekend will be Formula One’s closest brush with the USA this year. Indianapolis Motor Speedway boss Tony George is committed to attempting to…
