​Now that AstonMartin, McLaren and Alpine have the situation all pretty much sorted now with Alonso of AstonMartin, Oscar to McLaren and what’s looks set for Pierre Gasly to Alpine for 2023 I question obviously now where does this leave Ricciardo??? Now look Ricciardo is one the biggest personalities within F1 and has been for quite sometime but sadly F1 isn’t a personality sport because if it was well then Sebastian Vettel would been the 2021 and 2022 champion by a long mile! But F1 is driven by results and unfortunately for Daniel Ricciardo besides from Monza of last season which is almost now a whole year ago, his time at McLaren has been somewhat of failure despite that one win and number of occasions he’s been outshined by a young British Lando Norris! But where does he go now and hopefully in this we can draw a conclusion!!! Back to Alpine.  S o going back to the team he left in the end of 2020, difficulty is he’s got competition with Pierre Gasly and yes those 8 wins to his ...

​ Now I know we’re three races in and you’d be right to say “Let’s not talk about the championship yet” or “It’s only early days” or something to that effect. However 2 DNFs already, behind in the championship by 46 points and that’s a lot. Even if RedBull some how recovers a small amount at the next GrandPrix what this lead and advantage does for Ferrari is it enables them to relax a little bit.   Mercedes are about a second a lap slower, so they’re not in it this year and Verstappen did win the race that he finished. But Leclerc has had a good start to the season and ultimately Ferrari reliability seems on point however RedBull’s seems far from it. Within the last 3 race so far this season RedBull power trains have had 5 DNFs. Bahrain 🇧🇭: Max Verstappen, Sergio Perez and Pierre Gasly. Saudi Arabia 🇸🇦: Yuki Tsunoda Australia 🇦🇺: Max Verstappen And that’s already! With still 20 race left to come one could realistically expect also more DNFs this season equally, And it’s no...

​ This weekend saw F1 head to the Saudi Arabian streets of Jeddah and here are my takeaways from this weekend GrandPrix!   Saudi Arabian GP - where there was action both on and off the circuit!   Mercedes season is over!  So I guess the first major and significant takeaway is for the Mercedes team! And last weeks Bahrain GrandPrix I highlighted the fact Mercedes could be in real trouble and this weekend confirmed all but that! their season is over - especially for Lewis Hamilton. The car is so far behind the competition it isn’t funny. When your lead driver is battling it out with Haas and Alfa Romeo for tenth position, in order to get a point, you know things are bad. RedBull Vs Ferrari and Max vs Charles?  Both Red Bull and Ferrari have got their respective cars right. And it just isn’t for their lead drivers Max Verstappen and Charles Leclerc. Both their number two drivers (which their teams don’t call them that but whatever) Carlos Sainz and Sergio Perez are also...

In a recent interview with SkyF1, Martin Brundle ex F1 driver and British co-commentator sat down with the CEO of F1 himself. Stefano Domenicali. And in the interview Stefano unveils potential plans to see a 30 race season long calendar introduced to the F1 season. In this short blog, I’m going to assess the current potential for this to happen.  In my opinion that would depend but how on earth would you organize such a long winded calendar is beyond me. Personally I think 30 races per season is stupidly ambitious and how they expect the drivers to cope let alone media, journalists, FIA, team principals and staff is the big question. With the current state of things in F1 all the teams suffer from fatigue and I’m sorry to say but I just don’t see how it can happen without probably many teams leaving the sport. I think the MOST F1 could ever expand to is 25 races per season but even my gut feeling is even that is being extreme and pushing it. I think it’s all right for the promoters...

Here are three takeaways from last weeks Bahrain 🇧🇭 GrandPrix.  Ferrari are BACK:  let’s start with the Scuderia and Ferrari’s win at Bahrain marks the end of their second longest win drought in F1. After Vettel’s last win in Singapore 2019 has seen the infamous brand of Ferrari go on a 46 race losing streak. 910 days later and Charles Leclerc ends that drought for Ferrari winning the first race of the new Era in some style having almost lead every single lap albeit for ONE. And it was no fluke! The performance has been witnessed in pre-season testing both at Barcelona and Bahrain and throughout the overall weekend was very strong showing for the Scuderia. Mercedes and Mercedes customers are in trouble?:  Mercedes all weekend struggled not just with porpoising but also with sheer pace on the straights! 6 of the 8 Mercedes cars failed to even reach the top 10. This isn’t the norm of what’s gone on in the previous seasons of the hybrid era. And whilst Mercedes did make it...

​ Now we’re two months on from the AbuDhabiGP controversy and two months later in this article/blog I’ll explain or try to at least explain why I think Hamilton didn’t deserve to become champion.   Now look I’m not going to try to underplay what Hamilton’s achieved during last season but what I am going to do is explain why Max deserved it more then Lewis.  Now both throughout the 2021 season both drove fantastically and arguably 2021 was the BEST F1 championship battle for many of years but the question is who deserved it more Max or Lewis? Now many fans will argue with Masi removal from F1 race director would indicate that FIA admitting to Masi not applying the rules correctly and whilst this is one possible conclusion however it could also be argued considering they’re offering him a new role would suggest otherwise and more of a protection around Masi and the Race Director role.  But in my opinion at least regardless whether or not Masi is removed or sacked doesn’t ma...

So today I will review F1 2021! Since F1 2021 the new game came out on July 13th I for one was looking forward to playing it however the more I got to know the new game the more and more disappointed it became and today I’m gonna give my honest opinion and review to what I think about F1 2021 Game!  I will break my review down into 5 categories (Breaking Point, Online, Handling Model/Physics, Career Mode and Customization!) in each of the sub categories the will be a maximum of 5 points and scores can range from 0 to 5, with 5 of being the highest and 0 being the lowest!  Breaking Point!  So our first category is Breaking Point. Codemasters newest feature to the F1 games was Breaking Point! And to put it long story cut short it delivered on my expectations because it was a very nice introductory story to the game that you’re about to play and I think it was a very good beginners guide for younger generation players of the game to experience. The cut scenes where very good...
