Formula 1 Warming Up Its Engines for 2010

January 27, 2010

With 3 teams launching their cars next week the 2010 season is nearly here – Yesss..!
And what a season it’s going to be – can’t wait.
On paper, we have 8 good drivers in 4 good teams.  Not only is the competition between teams going to be fierce, but the competition between drivers within teams is [...]

Schumacher’s Return – What a Season 2010 Will Be

December 24, 2009

So my second prediction proved wrong too..!
I said a while ago that Jenson would be crazy to move to McLaren – and he moved.  I also said Schumacher would be crazy to return – and he has.
I won’t be charging a lot for my fortune telling services in future
But, doesn’t that make for [...]

Fascinating Interview with Jenson Button

November 20, 2009

Seems that BrawnGP (now Mercedes) are pretty pissed off with Jenson Button’s move to McLaren, but there’s an interesting article and video interview here in which some more facts come out.
Jenson’s gone into this with his eyes wide open, looking for the challenge, for less money than he’d have got if he stayed with Brawn.
I’m [...]

So, Jenson Signed for McLaren

November 19, 2009

When that possibility was first mooted a while ago my immediate reaction was that he’d be crazy.
He doesn’t have a good track record in choosing teams (remember Buttongate?), but maybe he has a different manager now. And maybe he’s learnt from the experience.
There’s been a lot of comment about how McLaren is Lewis Hamilton’s team, [...]

Congratulations to Jenson Button F1 World Champion

October 19, 2009

What a season.  And after qualifying 14th yesterday I thought that Jenson would not only fail to win the title at Interlagos, but he may well end up not winning it at all.
But he drove another superb race.
There’ve been a lot of negative comments over the last few races – that he’d gone off the [...]

1 point forward, 1 point back

October 4, 2009

Jenson lost a point to Rubens at Suzuka today, but drove the better race.
Just as he did last week in Singapore, Jenson started behind his team mate – this time 4 places behind rather than 2.
Last week he made up 3 places on Rubens to finish one place ahead of him.  This week he also [...]

Nice One, Jenson!

September 28, 2009

After Monza, and barring completely unforseen circumstances (which you can never rule out), Jenson’s job was to make sure he didn’t lose more than 2 points a race to his team mate.
That would have brought him the Driver’s Championship with a 6 point margin.
Last night in Singapore he came from behind to beat Rubens and [...]

Eccelstone: Way Past His Sell-By Date

September 24, 2009

The statement by Bermie Eccelstone that his friend and business partner, Flavio Briatore, had been treated too harshly in the crashgate hearing beggars belief.
Doesn’t Eccelstone have any shame? Or Morals?
Briatore was quite happy to send out a driver to put himself in harm’s way by crashing an F1 car during a race.  Worse, he was [...]
