[ ferrari, silverstone, lewis hamilton, formula 1 ] apologies for missing the french gp as i have been extremely busy with work. but what an exciting gp, with kimi winning a lucky race. a good ferrari 1-2 nonetheless, and now ferrari may well be back into championship contention. the atmosphere at silverstone must have been awesome. celebrities of any sort and motorsport fans from all

[ mclaren, indianapolis, lewis hamilton, formula 1 ] it was an action-packed american gp, with plenty of teammate rivalries and decent overtaking moves. best of all, no safety car. back-to-back although ron dennis said lewis won the canadian gp "fair and square", alonso said that lewis was lucky to win as it was a lottery race. well, nothing can be said about lewis' win at america, and it

[ super aguri, montreal, takuma sato, formula 1 ] for those who missed it, here's the video on sato's awesome pass on alonso at the penultimate lap of canada gp. the video is in japanese, and it's very funny how excited the commentators got. ;) yes, we know alonso's car wasn't perfect, but still, i thought it was a fantastic move nonetheless. prior to alonso, he overtook ralf in a

[ mclaren, montreal, lewis hamilton, formula 1 ] yup, there were mclaren fireworks alright, but it only lasted till the first/second corner. alonso attempted a do-or-die move on lewis, but failed miserably. not only did he lose the lead, he lost his position to heidfeld and he lost his car. a stop-go penalty didn't help either. sato shamed alonso alonso's day went from bad to worse when he

[ mclaren, montreal, lewis hamilton, formula 1 ] yeah, another post on lewis hamilton. this guy is really taking the formula 1 circus by storm. it was just a matter of time before he grabbed his first pole, and he did it at montreal - the circuit of the 'wall of champions'. it is also a matter of time before his first win sinks. what makes this pole more amazing is the fact that lewis has

[ ferrari, formula 1 ] you're gonna want to pump up your speaker for this. this wonderful ad by shell is called "circuit". after more than 60 years of cooperation with ferarri, the ad shows the evolution of the ferrari racing car, zooming through the streets of rome, new york, hongkong, brazil, and monte carlo. fantastic! while the ferrariworld blog asks: This spectacular Shell video

[ mclaren, monaco, lewis hamilton, formula 1 ] is this a sign of things to come? lewis hamilton crashed his car to the wall, and it was a huge one. was it a mistake? was it the nerves getting to him? or was he really exploring the limits? i like how updatef1.com puts it: It had to happen – the vultures have been circling, waiting patiently, for four races now; Lewis Hamilton made a mistake

[ monaco, formula 1 ] i'm always very excited when monaco gp is around. not because of the good racing (or the lack of), but because of the glamour, the celebrities, and the ambience. and i love this tunnel. the only tunnel in f1. are you excited yet? he sure is... to be continued... previous posts: f1 circuit chief sacked for corruption kimi raikkonen is rubbish kimi breaks more

[ shanghai, formula 1 ] shanghai f1 circuit chief was sacked in midst of a corruption investigation. mr yu zhifei was accused of using company money to buy a house and taking bribes. The sackings were related to an inquiry into misuse of Shanghai's pension fund. The scandal has already led to the sacking of Chen Liangyu, who was the city's Communist Party secretary. Last September he

[ ferrari, barcelona, kimi raikkonen, formula 1 ] there, i said it. as much as i would like to embrace kimi as a driver deserved of high praises, his attitude left nothing to be desired. Sir Jackie Stewart has questions Kimi Raikkonen's commitment after the Finn stormed away from the Barcelona circuit following his retirement on Sunday. [...] However, rather than stay behind to

[ ferrari, barcelona, felipe massa, formula 1 ] i tell ya, this kimi is a car breaker. he's a fast driver, but he'll drive the shit out of any car given to him. frankly, i won't be surprise to see more car failure for kimi this season. i think peter sauber had it right: kimi needs to get more technical, in order to understand his car. if kimi's attitude doesn't change, perhaps ferrari

[ ferrari, barcelona, felipe massa formula 1 ] that's impressive. more so for massa, who has been on pole for three consecutive times. i have to admit, it was rather fulfilling to see massa spoil the spanish party. if you paid attention, you could actually hear the sound of a few hundred thousand heartbreaks when massa stormed through the line. however, qualifying is no longer about

[ singapore, formula 1 ] is this a sign of disapproval for the singapore gp?

[ super aguri, bahrain, anthony davidson, formula 1 ] yeah yeah, we all know massa grabbed pole yesterday at bahrain. personally, i wasn't very surprised by it. lewis hamilton was second, followed by kimi and alonso. kimi and alonso could be on a heavier fuel strategy. well, we'll see who of the four will come out top on race day. however, none of them was the star of bahrain qualifying.
