The current season of Formula 1 is now in its “summer break”. While we’re more than halfway done with the calendar, it’d still be fair to call it the mid-season break. Since we’ve not covered any individual races from 2022, it seemed fair to at least do a mid-season review of the biggest events and […]
The most recognisable team in Formula 1 has revealed its 2022 contender. Celebrating the company’s 75th anniversary, Ferrari has named its new F1 car the F1-75. It is the most visually distinctive-looking car of the 2022 era so far in terms of the shape of the side pods, the rear wing, and the tip of […]
Formula 1 returned to Italy to race at Monza, the Temple of Speed, this past weekend with a hotly contested world title in the balance. Even though it is a high-speed circuit much like Zandvoort from the round before, Monza has not favoured the Red Bulls for the entirety of the turbo-hybrid era of F1. […]
The Silverstone Circuit is often referred to as the ‘Home of Formula 1’ which is also why it hosted the sport’s 70th anniversary celebration as part of the double-header in the 2020 season. It’s also been a track that has been dominated by Lewis Hamilton, and there’s even a straight named after the 7-time world […]
The most interesting part for back-to-back races at the same circuit with no changes to the layout is that the second one is more competitive as teams incorporate lessons learned from the previous weekend. With that preconception in mind, we expected Mercedes-Benz to be closer to Max Verstappen who had smoked them in the Styrian […]
Red Bull Ring is hosting a doubleheader yet again and the races have been given two different names: Styrian GP for the first one and Austrian GP for the second. This is Red Bull’s home race and the team has a good ‘track’ record around here with at least one car on the podium every […]
Red Bull are usually the favourites for street circuit races. After a great result at Monaco, the Azerbaijani GP at Baku would give them another chance to outperform championship rival, Mercedes. While Baku’s layout is not as tight and restrictive as Monaco, the minimal run-off area is defined by solid walls and there are plenty […]
The Monaco GP is one of the most prestigious races in the modern Formula 1 calendar. To the drivers, it is a challenge of skill and focus as they navigate the narrow streets at over 200kph. To the viewers, it is a challenge to stay awake and pay attention for all of its laps. The […]
The Catalunya circuit is a great driver’s circuit but also notorious for delivering dull races. Its long sweeping bends make it difficult for the aero-heavy F1 cars to follow each other closely and the lack of hard braking zones also robs drivers of overtaking opportunities. The Spanish GP is often decided by qualifying results and […]
F1 returned to Portugal in 2020 after a long hiatus with the Algarve International Circuit of Portimao hosting the series for the first time. It’s a rollercoaster of a track with many elevation changes, sweeping turns and strong winds from the nearby coastline. While this layout does not offer much in terms of overtaking action, […]
