Yas Marina: Race Day
So here we are. This is it. This. Is. It. No second chances; no way of regaining points in the next race, nothing else to do but race. Hard. After qualifying; it would only be a brave person to bet against Alonso. But some might be willing to…two F1 legends for example. During a great … Continue reading
Yas Marina: Qualifying
Qualification time! As you’re perfectly aware this is late (and you can reprimand me for it; I deserve it!) as I was off on a jolly; which was somewhat disappointing. Even though I made numerous promises to myself that I would resist temptation and wait until I returned to check it out. I failed big … Continue reading
Yas Marina: Free Practice 3
I do have an actual reason as to why this is later than usual…a quick sprint up to London (really bad timing I know). Believe me; I’ve been clinging to my phone all day trying to find out what’s going on. But as a reward I took myself off to the Pole Position shop on Regent’s … Continue reading
Yas Marina: Free Practice 2
I hate to inform you Alonso; but waxing your legs for cycling doesn’t give you an advantage…if you were a swimmer I would let you off. Oh, if you skim read that (shame on you) I’ll repeat it. Alonso has waxed his legs. I’ll let that sink in. Read: Alonso re-waxed and ready to race … Continue reading
Yas Marina: Free Practice 1

Right then; what has been occurring since we left Brazil only a few days ago? The Hulk: Oh yes, the rookie certainly made an impression on Brazil! Stealing pole position from the fastest cars on the track; and even managed to give both Alonso and Hamilton food for thought. His calm and poise off the … Continue reading
Interlagos: Race Day
Are we going to be crowning a new World Driver Champion today? Will Alonso make the dash from 5th and win it? Will Webber cling on and push it to Abu Dhabi? Will Vettel slip out of contention? What on earth will Hulkenberg do with his pole position? So many questions! Who ever said F1 was boring? … Continue reading
Interlagos: Qualifying
Qualifying has begun; just a quick run down before we get onto the results… Qualifying Qualifying is split up into three sections (Q1, Q2, Q3), the first two have knock out zones for the bottom 7 drivers. Everyone goes out in Q1 and tries to set their fastest time (in 20 minutes), usually the front-runners … Continue reading
Interlagos: Free Practice 3
