After all the Jenson-bashing (or criticism of the unnecessary media attention on him) we do on the sofa, I thought it should only be fair that we praise him for his performance yesterday. He out-qualified and out-raced is teammate, perhaps … Continue reading →

Forget Murrayisms, what about Martinisms? Schumacher very much in a Renault sandwich, but not a lot of butter in it for him. It went out as a V8, came back as a V7. A Formula 1 car is one of … Continue reading →

Things are slowly starting to take shape: James Allen says Raikkonen will drive for Ferrari next year, regardless of if Michael quits. Both Williams drivers are staying. Klein is probably leaving Red Bull. Will Ron Dennis really give in to … Continue reading →
