On his previous run he had done just that, and had run off the road, and into a spin. The lurid tail-out style was wonderful to watch, but Lewis looked…
The French Grand Prix produced a Ferrari 1-2, but not in the order we expected. Until a broken exhaust slowed him, Kimi Raikkonen was comfortably in command, but just after half-distance he found himself down on power, and was obliged to let Felipe Massa through.
“Disappointing, of course,” said Raikkonen. “I…
A Grand Prix victory for BMW, and for Robert Kubica, had been coming a while, and in Montreal – the scene of Kubica’s horrific accident 12 months ago – it duly did. “We certainly didn’t have the quickest car,” Kubica said. “In fact, in competitive terms, this wasn’t our strongest…
Lewis Hamilton looked like he had pole in the bag, but near the end of Q3 Raikkonen went one better, nudging the Briton off the top spot. Soon afterwards Kubica did exactly the same to the Finn and Hamilton dropped to third.
Having been called in and given some fresh rubber,…
After qualifying, McLaren looked to be on the back foot. Lewis Hamilton and Heikki Kovalainen had qualified third and fourth, which was hardly a disgrace in itself, but one and two were the Ferraris, with Felipe Massa once again ahead of World Champion Kimi Raikkonen. Given the fact that overtaking…
It’s all change from last year when the Ferraris struggled to match the pace of the McLarens, as Massa took pole with his team-mate alongside him.
It looked like the front row would have been made up of the Kimster and Hamilton, however, a blisteringly quick lap by Massa, late on…
The Formula 1 circus has come to Monaco and so far, apart from a few gentle brushes with the walls, the whole grid has managed to complete the opening two practice sessions.
The forecast is for rain and what better race to have it at than Monaco, when none of the…
It looks like Massa is almost unbeatable at Istanbul Park after a decisive victory this year, giving him a hat trick of wins there. He drove a great race and Brundle was keen to point out that he was his “driver of the day”, ahead of Hamilton who, during his…
Massa is certainly in the right position to go for a hat trick of wins in Istanbul after he put his car on pole, ahead of McLaren driver Kovalainen. Hamilton, who admitted to having opted for the wrong tyres, finished Q3 in third ahead of Raikkonen.
It is good to see…
So here we are in Istanbul, Turkey. The sun isn’t quite shining, but it certainly looks like we’ll be in for a good race on Sunday – this being one of the Formula 1 tracks where it is actually possible to overtake.
As expected the Ferraris seem to be roughly half…
