After 3 weeks spring racing break that included a 4 day test we have another race weekend ahead of us. The first European race of 2008 F1 calendar – Spanish Grand Prix.
The Barcelona test last week did not reveal much about the new found strength of the F1 teams. We can expect the usual suspects [...]

Spanish GP – How to enjoy the Barcelona race live
As you may have realized, one of the regular F1Wolf readers and commentators lives nearby the Barcelona F1 circuit. Unsurprisingly, he seems to know the track quite well. He sent over a long message with lots of tips how to make the most of the visit to the Spanish GP. I chose to turn his [...]

What some F1Wolf readers do when there is no F1 race
Klokan and Fisheye – two F1Wolf readers and participants in the prediction game here at F1Wolf – made it to the Far East for some trade fairs. We went to see one fair in Macau yesterday, yes that Macau of Macau GP. The trade fair ended up being more boring than some the F1 races can be. And [...]

Who will be the winners and loosers in Barcelona ?
The testing last week did not reveal too much. Not that we ever can tell too much about the form of teams from a test, but we can tell pretty much nothing after the last Barcelona test . Here is my view of what may have changed.
First look at the top 3:
Ferrari [...]

The evil F1 night lights and Olympic torch stupidity
The evironmental impacts of Formula 1 are being discussed a lot these days. So is F1 environmentally friendly sport ? Hell no. And does that make me feel sick ? Hell no again … There are things that make me sick much more …
The debate over the Formula 1 night race in Singapore is a [...]

Why is Michael Schumacher still testing for Ferrari?
Shaun left this comment yesterday under one of the Barcelona test posts:
Why is Schumacher testing for Ferrari instead of Raikkonen or Massa ? sorry if this is an obvious question.
Well, good question and I do not think it is obvious. Ferrari has Raikkonen and Massa plus test drivers proper Gene and Badoer. But they still use Michael Schumacher and used him again [...]

Barcelona Test April 2008 – Day 3
Day 3 in Barcelona was about new BullRosso car that was supposed to run for last 2 days of test. Unfortunately Mr. Bourdais smashed it beyond repair and we probably will not see STR03 again for the rest of the Barcelona test.
Fernando Alonso must have felt like at the end of 2006 season, his Renault [...]

Super Aguri and Magma – The deal is off …
“Super Aguri confirms that it has been informed by Magma Group, the potential purchasers of the team, that its investors no longer wish to fund the intended acquisition. “It is with deep regret that Aguri Suzuki is now forced to consider the future of the team, however negotiations with other parties continue.”
Can’t tell this news [...]

Toro Rosso debuts STR03 in Barcelona (with pictures)
As expected we have the third fin on the block, better said above the engine block .
Scuderia Toro Rosso revealed today in Barcelona their new car – STR03. Judge for yourself but I only see 3 differences between STR03 and RB4:
- Ferrari engine instead of Renault
- different paint job
- different guy driving the [...]

Barcelona Test April 2008 – Day 2 – Fin and Ears
The day 2 in Barcelona felt a bit like deja vu. First either Adrian Newey did some freelancing for Renault, or Red Bull showed some aero love to their engine supplier, or Renault simply copied what they have seen in the next garage. Well, I though that the Renault car can’t get any more ugly [...]

Barcelona Test April 2008 – Day 1
It looks like the first day day of Barcelona testing was all about the new Ferrari hole. The fact that the combination of the new hole in the nose part of Ferrari car and the slick tyres resulted in 3 seconds gap between Massa and the second fastest car, Honda of Alex Wurz, is one of [...]
