Live from London
Pit straight A, seat A 373 — that is the very seat that housed me as I took in the action that was to unfold at the British Grand Prix. I got hot, I got sweaty, I got sunburnt but every deafening nanosecond was completely worth it.
Monaco Mayhem
With all the overindulgence on ample display at Monaco perhaps Michael Schumacher felt that he should join in the revelry, losing his concentration for a split moment and parking the car during qualifying?
Fantastico Fernando, Fantastico!
How does it feel to inspire an entire country — to introduce an almost untouchable sport to the frenzied masses? Fernando Alonso certainly knows how that feels and this weekend he no doubt moved a whole new generation of F1 fans.
The Drought Is Over!
Ferrari fans rejoiced this weekend as Michael Schumacher delivered Ferrari’s first (and possibly only) win of the season. Aleks Kempisty checks out the San Marino GP.
Fisichella Flies In
Malaysia proved that Renault is a force to be reckoned with, and Fisichella can also produce the goods. Aleks Kempisty on the Malaysian Grand Prix...
Back With A Bahrain Bang
We have new regulations, new engines, new teams, new drivers and one heck of a new qualifying format — Formula 1 is back with a mighty thump!
McLaren Bounce Back…Again!
Each race weekend seems to be about McLaren. Everyone comments about their speed, the skill of their drivers, how they are the form team and then something inevitably goes wrong. Welcome to Hungary.
That's Six For Alonso
Kimi Raikkonen has got to be the unluckiest man in Formula 1. He is blessed with bucket loads of raw talent, is one of the quickest drivers, has the best car yet he isn't winning races and it's not his fault.
The Colombian strikes back
The sun smiling down on albino-white skin, a light breeze blowing lazily infused with the aroma of car oil, beautiful women scantily dressed exposing their bronzed limbs and twenty men revving their engines. This, ladies and gentlemen, was the British Grand Prix!
Viva Renault! Viva!
After the joke known as the US Grand Prix it was brilliant to see 20 cars taking to the track at Magny-Cours to go racing. This wasn't a particularly exciting race but at least it was a race and that's what the public paid their Euros to see.
Is April Fool's Late This Year?
What a total, utter and complete farce! There really isn't much to say about the US Grand Prix - how much can you say about six cars? What an absolute sham! This wasn't a race - it was a joke! This race will be remembered for one thing and one thing only - the fact that it was a complete embarrassment to the sport of motor racing
The Vivid Colours of Montreal
The Canadian Grand Prix was full of incident from the moment the five red lights went out signifying the start of the race and the incidents continued thick and fast until the very end of the race some ninety minutes later.
Kimi : The Prince of Monaco
Monaco is like a gloriously voluptuous woman - lots of curves, a few cleverly disguised bumps, some raw edges but otherwise contours which have made even grown men cry.
Welcome back, McLaren
Spain was a race about one man and one man only and that was Kimi Raikkonen. The iceman was on fire as he guided his silver and black ice-mobile onto the front row of the grid and then proceeded to fly around the track setting fastest lap after fastest lap until, after 66 laps, he was rewarded with the largest shiny steering wheel in the whole of Spain and went on to win the heart of the beautiful princess and they lived happily ever after in champagne heaven.
RENAULT :2 FERRARI : 0 MICHELIN : 2 BRIDGESTONE : 0
Malaysia is renowned for being one of the toughest races on the calendar with track temperatures climbing to close on the 500C mark. The Michelin tyres like heat, the Bridgestones don't which became glaringly obvious throughout the race. So who were the big winners and losers on the day?
Aus 2005
It's been over 130 days so like a junkie waiting for their next fix the Formula 1 fans converged upon Albert Park to see the circus roll back into town. Uncle Max and his honchos at the FIA have instituted a host of new rules to make the 2005 season exciting, exhilarating and competitive - were they successful? Read on.
