Australian Grand Prix: Vitaly Has Impressive Start for Renault, Petrov Takes 3rd

With reflective and emotive banners proclaiming, “We miss you Robert,” it would have been logical to expect complacency in the Renault camp before the start of the season. Their second driver, Vitaly Petrov had signed a two-year extension to his contract, however, this was mainly seen as a financial decision and not a talent-based choice. In fairness, the Russian was... 

Thinking Clearly: Heidfeld The Only Choice For Renault

Whilst the sport of Formula 1 is a multi-million money making business the decision for Robert Kubica’s replacement in my opinion should be based on morals rather than finances. His rallying injury has destroyed his chances of making further advances toward Renault. A lot of talk has come from his potential replacement. Hispania’s Bruno Senna and Toro Rosso‘s Vitantonio Liuzzi were... 

Robert Kubica in the Clear, but F1 Loses Its Best in 2011

The headlines last season may have been dominated by the five-way battle for the Drivers Championship, but if the competition were based on pure talent, Robert Kubica would definitely have a shot. As the season progressed, he out-drove the shortcomings of his mediocre Renault, and at one point, looked to be the best of the rest. Essentially, his points tally did not reflect the comparative individual... 

Red Bull Triumph: Milton Keynes Rules the Roost At Last

Despite for the most part having the strongest and fastest car, Red Bull made difficult work of claiming the first constructors title. Yet alas with a magnificent one-two in Brazil the team gains its first seasonal triumph in their sixth year in the sport. For me the moment was poignant as the team are based in my hometown of Milton Keynes. As one of the fastest growing cities in the UK, sadly in the... 

Hamilton’s Frustration: Should The Korean Grand Prix Have Started Sooner?

Who’s got spirit? Lewis Hamilton’s got spirit. Yet no one else seemed raring to go in South Korea as the rain lashed down causing race director Charlie Whiting to begin the first 15 laps behind a safety car, over the course of 80 minutes. This included two stand still periods as the cars formed on the starting grid waiting to be given orders. In the first foray into the drenched new track... 

Massa Claims Alonso Is No Better Than He’s Had Before: Is He Right?

In moralistic terms the worst aspect of this year’s Formula 1 season was the denial of victory for Felipe Massa exactly a year after his Hungarian accident. Here was a driver who had taken a defiant stance in the face of adversity. When the piece of Brawn went inches from his eye he could have thrown in the towel then and there. Yet he chose not to. He did, however, find himself partnered in... 

Michael Schumacher’s Season: Is An Old Teammate About To Make Things Worse?

It has been a little too easy to criticise Michael Schumacher this season. His much anticipated return fell flat as a pancake, and what we are left with is an extended season’s worth of underwhelming results. Essentially, his credibility as a seven-time World Champion, and his reputation as one of the all-time greats took a major blow. As the season draws to a close there is just one indignity... 

Venus Williams Rolled Into The Semis: But Was It Her Final Opportunity?

When five-time Wimbledon Champion Venus Williams exited at the quarter finals stage of the tournament earlier this year, many vocalised their opinion that the American was in decline. Would she ever win another title, or reach the same dizzy heights that both herself and sister Serena have acclimatised themselves to in the past decade? The immediate answer to that question appeared to be no. The return... 

A Healthy Spa In Reflection: The Top Three United

  At the most popular circuit on the current Formula 1 calender, the racing weekend at Spa threw up a welcome result.  Culminating in a definitive gap appearing between Webber, Hamilton and the rest of the field, the Belgium Grand Prix provided a top three of widely respected drivers. And to move the moment into a greater amount of poignancy, how refreshing it was to witness arguably the... 

Ferrari Destroy the Most Poignant of Moments in 2011

Today Ferrari stole a perfect moment away from Felipe Massa. Their undeniably transparent attempt at a coded order left Alonso a gifted race win in his bid for the drivers title. Upon being told that Alonso was faster than the Brazilian, Felipe Massa was asked ‘Do you understand?’ Moments later he was to surrender his potential victory as Ferrari’s team decision forced an unsatisfying...
