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
Hey Everyone Qualifying is complete and I thought I might throw up a little post. Nothing too serious, no ranting, no crazy hypothesis, just a few thoughts about Saturday in Suzuka. Vettel did not get his forty-third pole at a track that he has virtually own since joining Red Bull. Well that is the way it goes sometimes. Vettel’s car developed a KERS issue (he had a major KERS rebuild in FP3,… 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
As the title implies these were the top three finishers when the checkered flag came out at the end of racing on Sunday. With perfect weather in the 2013 running of the British GP, you could not have asked for a more action packed, drama filled race. Where to begin? All season long the Pirelli tires have been the story and for this meeting on the Formula 1 calendar the tires once… Read More
Formula One, you are so fickle! Except for the fact that it was required to have one on each corner of your car to race, tires did not play any part whatsoever in who won the Monaco GP (not too much or too little degradation for any of the 22 drivers) but somehow the tire issue is again front and center. Unbelievable. Before I go on one my tangents I will say a… Read More
Vettel Whips The Competition, Alonso Loses Ground, Hamilton Shows Why He’s Worth It. And The Buddha…
I have said this many a time, I will never just blog, that is not my intent nor does it make for anything interesting. So I normally stay away from recapping a race. I am however going to say a few words (yeah right, when has that ever happened) about the Grand Prix of Bahrain that I think are worth mentioning. As impressive as Alonso was last weekend, Vettel was equally sensational… Read More
Well that was very interesting. Don’t think I have ever seen such little qualifying for a gp. I suppose we all know the reason for the lack of track action (not even the back markers wanted to go out in the beginning of Q1). The impression that one gets is the option tire that Pirelli brought which is the soft tire with the yellow band around the outside is not as durable… Read More
Team orders, do they suck? Yes. Are they going away? No. To give you an idea of the emotion that Vettel’s action stirred up, on JamesallenonF1.com (one of my favorite sites) there were over 1100 comments by the time the sounding off was done. Wow. I am a long-time F1 fan and I can’t remember a time when something has caused such uproar. I don’t even think there was this much hoopla… Read More
