I have wanted to write this post for quite sometime. If I’m honest, since the end of the 2012 season, but I did not want to look like a sore loser and who really wants to read a cranky blogger’s conjecture at the end of the day? I again had the urge to write this post at the end of last season but in the interest of not wanting to rain on… Read More
From GrandPrix 247 Ex-Ferrari driver Felipe Massa has tipped his former teammate Fernando Alonso to dominate Kimi Raikkonen at the great Italian team in 2014. Maranello marque Ferrari replaced the long-serving Brazilian with Finn Raikkonen, its 2007 world champion, over the winter, with Massa having to move to the once-great British team Williams. Ferrari justified the move on the basis that Massa couldn’t support teammate Fernando Alonso’s title-charging points hauls on a… Read More
From GrandPrix 247 Ferrari driver Fernando Alonso says thatdrivers are ‘obliged’ to follow team orders when they are given from the pit gantry. Alonso was asked by a young journalist if “you have ever received a team order you did not responded to?” Alonso replied, “No. Normally when the team says something you must obey, because they have all the information and [they] know what’s going on.” “You can ask them on… Read More
Quite Note: I wrote a two-part series addressing this very point. If you are interested here are the links: Well Well Well, Kimi Is Going To Ferrari Part 1 Well Well Well, Kimi Is Going To Ferrari Part 2 From GrandPrix 247 It will be Kimi Raikkonen, not the Ferrari incumbent Fernando Alonso, who will get the first on-track experience of the team’s 2014 challenger, as the Maranello outfit begins life with… Read More

There will still be a post or two a week form yours truly about all of the things that get me fired up about F1 Ha ha. -jp- From ESPNF1 Ferrari president Luca di Montezemolo says Fernando Alonso was… Read More
Then, tomorrow was another day The morning found us miles away With still a million things to say Now, when twilight dims the skies above Recalling thrills of our love There’s one thing I’m certain of Return, I will, to old Brazil I rarely start a post with a quote and when I do it signals a different kind of post, one that is off the beaten path of my usual fare. In… Read More
I wanted to publish this post under the title, Sebastian actually does some racing, Roman shows he can start, Felipe rebels and the latest RB conspiracy, but that seemed too long and too obvious and a week or so later after the fact not very exciting. I can’t really add anything new and I was not in too much of a hurry immediately after the race to hit the keyboard. A combination… Read More
Hello Hello Hello…. The Japanese GP is in the books, Vettel won (what a shocker) although it was not that straight forward, Grosjean drove a great race to beat his teammate Kimi Raikkonen and Felipe Massa got to rebel a little… It’s monday and there is plenty to blog about and of course I will be working on at least two maybe three posts for your entertainment. Lol.. Here is what is… Read More
We all had a pretty good idea that Sebastian Vettel would be on pole today. There was maybe a challenge from Lewis Hamilton, and Roman Grosjean, and a serious effort from Nico Rosberg, even Mark Webber showed he still cared about formula 1 for a split second. However the wunderkid did it again. Vettel, it is safe to say crushed the competition today under the lights while qualifying for the Singapore GP…. Read More
I characterized the arrival of Kimi Raikkonen to Ferrari next year as good news for Kimi, the team and especially their star driver Fernando Alonso. The same cannot be said for those that will be competing against them. If Raikkonen to Ferrari is a win-win for everyone at Ferrari, then it is equally a lose-lose for everyone else not at Ferrari. If, and I know it is a big if, Ferrari cast… Read More
