Back in July I posted my prediction for the 2009 drivers line up. At that time I did not predict too many changes. Since then there was no announcement that would contradict my prediction. There were few that confirmed it – McLaren will keep both their drivers, Ferrari semiofficially stated that both Massa and Raikkonen [...]
Hungarian GP
Should stewards make their decisions earlier ?
Nick Heidfeld missed out on Q2 on a track where he will have tough time overtaking any of the midfield cars ahead of him. Sebastien Bourdais was demoted 5 places for impeding Heidfeld in at towards the end of Q1 and will start the race from P19. Unless a sudden storm hits the track or [...]

2008 German F1 GP – Wolf’s Race Review
I do not want to say this was the best race of the season but it sure was entertaining. We could see some serious racing with overtaking up and down the grid, we had a safety car following a crash (luckily without any serious injury), we could see a serious strategy blunder and impressive recovery [...]

2008 British F1 GP – Wolf’s Race Review – The Ross Brawn Factor
After some Monaco drizzle we had the first proper wet to extreme wet race this year. It has provided us with all that can be expected – lots of spins, pit stop and strategy dilemas and some surprising faces on the podium.
It is not easy to review this race without missing something. A lot was [...]

2008 British F1 GP – Race Result – Hamilton wins, Honda on podium
Lewis Hamilton has won his (eventful) home Grand Prix after taking full advantage of his great start and some very strange tyre decision by Raikkonen’s camp. Nick Heidfeld brought his BMW Sauber home in 2nd place. The Ross Brawn factor came to effect in tricky wet / extreme wet conditions. Right choice of tyres in [...]

2009 Formula 1 Drivers Rumours – Third Edition – Return of Sato ?
All we need is 2 weeks break between races and the rumour floodgates open. Let’s have a look what’s new since the second edition.
Robert Kubica has been doing well and so it comes as no surprise his future has been talked about quite a bit. Few innocent remarks to Italian paper La Stampa created two [...]

2009 Formula 1 Drivers Rumours – Second Edition
It is Monaco Grand Prix and the Paddock is buzzing with rumours. This brings out the second edition of this series of posts. (See the first here.)
I am not really surprised to hear that “Fernando Alonso has just inked a deal to drive for Ferrari in 2010″. I do not expect anything bigger than this [...]

2008 F1 Season – Team Mates – Renault
The ING Renault team enters the 2008 season with a brand new line up. OK, not exactly brand new. None of the 2007 Renault drivers has survived Flavio’s winter clean up. However one of the new drivers is recycled, repackaged and more expensive Fernando Alonso.
Fernando Alonso – Spain

2008 Formula 1 form in quotes
Some teams will continue testing in private tests next week. Barcelona however was the last major test involving most of the teams. The results and times do not tell much. Few would conclude that Toyota is the fastest car just because Trulli clocked the the fastest lap yesterday . So what Formula 1 [...]
