The travelling circus that calls itself ‘Formula One’ is back in Europe this weekend. I know Russia is technically in Europe too, but for the teams, they consider European races to be the ones that can be reached by truck. This means fancy double story transporters outside the back of the pits, and there is […]
The teams arrive at the Russian Grand Prix this weekend after two days of testing in Bahrain. While there were no headline-topping times, the additional Mileage would have allowed the teams to try some new upgrades and setup changes with this weekend in mind. It will also have allowed them a slight pause to take […]
Round 2 of the 2017 Formula One season is in Shanghai, China this weekend. It’s a typical purpose built F1 track, unlike Melbourne, which was a street track. This will be the 14th time it’s held the Chinese Grand Prix and it has a nice mixture of fast and slow corners. The 5.451km Hermann Tilke […]
For 2017 we saw some big regulation changes– mostly around the chassis and tyre side. There are bigger wings, floors and tyres, all with the intention of making the cars faster and more dynamic on track. From what I saw at Melbourne, this has definitely worked. The cars are significantly quicker through fast and slow […]
Three time Audi R8 LMS Cup champion and Malaysia’s only Formula One driver Alex Yoong will be swapping four wheels for two wheels this weekend as he competes in the prestigious Pioneer Mountain Bike Stage Race through the South Island’s Southern Alps. Racing with his good friend Anton Morgan, who is from Auckland, Alex will […]
Nico Rosberg is World Champion, how about that? Before 2016 started, you would have been hard pressed to find people who would have predicted this. Lewis Hamilton had been so dominant the year before and we all questioned Rosberg’s ability to reach the level needed to defeat his teammate. Here are a few things that […]
Lewis Hamilton did everything right in Austin, Texis on the weekend. He put his Mercedes on pole, got his start right and lead almost every lap on the way to his fiftieth win in Formula One. Unfortunately winning all the races for the rest of the year, will not be enough to win the title. The […]
The big news going into the USA grand prix this weekend is the surprise news that Nico Hulkenburg has jumped ship from Force India to Renault. It caught the paddock by surprise, but when you actually think about it, it makes logical sense. Hulkenburg is in my view the best of the drivers available for […]
Wow, what a Grand Prix we saw on the weekend. The Malaysian GP was definitely the most pivotal of the year. It was a see-saw emotional rollercoaster for our two championship protagonists- Nico Rosberg and Lewis Hamilton. When Rosberg actually got spun round on the first corner by Sebastian Vettel I actually screamed “that’s the […]
The Malaysian Grand Prix gets held for the first time in October this year. It’s usually in March but the powers that be decided to put this year’s race next to the Singapore GP. A brave move in many ways, and I for one am looking to see how this works out in terms of […]
Alex Yoong is hometown hero this weekend as the Audi R8 LMS Cup heads to Sepang for round 3. The double LMS Cup champion arrives in Malaysia with a fresh win under his belt from the last round, and no success ballast for Race 1, meaning that Alex has a very high chance of kicking […]
