Since we found out that BWT is returning to F1 as a title sponsor, this time for Alpine, we were fully expecting to see the return of pink cars like we did with Racing Point. Considering that the new Williams FW44 has become entirely blue for 2022, it would have made sense for Alpine to […]
Renault has undergone the most significant changes for the 2021 season. First off, it has been rebranded as Alpine Racing. The Alpine name is not new to motorsports and it’s exciting to see it enter Formula 1 especially with their stunning livery for the 2021 contender: the A521. It is a welcome change from the […]
It’s been a freaky year with a lot of negatives, and for some of us, the nightmare continues. But as motorsport fans, especially of Formula 1, we got quite lucky. When the Australian GP was cancelled, at the last minute as the whole world seemed to go into a lockdown, it seemed uncertain if we’ll […]
The Sakhir GP was the second round at the Bahrain International Circuit, but unlike the double-headers at Silverstone and Red Bull Ring, we had a different track layout for the repeat venue. F1 used the outer layout of the circuit which is only 3.543km in length. Comprising of three straights and only 10 turns, it […]
The penultimate retro circuit in the 2020 Formula 1 calendar takes us to Italy for the third time this year. The Imola circuit is a challenging one, especially in the much larger racecars of today, and is also remembered as the venue for one of F1’s most tragic moments: the death of Ayrton Senna in […]
After the snooze-fest at Sochi, Formula 1 headed to another iconic track for this special 2020 season. While the calendar rarely skips Germany, the sport was returning to Nürburgring after a 7-year gap. Technically this would be the first time that the turbo-hybrid F1 cars would be racing at this circuit and it would also […]
Just when I thought he was out, they pull him back in. The rumours had been brewing ever since Ricciardo signed with McLaren but now it’s official: Alonso is taking that vacant seat at Renault next season. The two-time F1 World Champion had bid adieu to F1 at the end of the 2018 season. Now, […]
Within 48 hours of Ferrari announcing the departure of Sebastian Vettel post-2020, the Maranello outfit has confirmed the German’s replacement for 2021 – Carlos Sainz Jr. The Spaniard was already a front runner for the seat after his strong performance for McLaren in 2019. Sainz has been on the F1 grid since 2015 and started […]
2020 is a significant year for Renault F1. While the team was ‘launched’ last week, we only got our first look of the car at pre-season testing in Spain. There were some online teasers but the R.S.20 made its public debut when it took off in an all-black livery to do many many laps around […]
Three reveals in, I think it’s safe to expect pretty much the same design as last year. McLaren has now unveiled its 2020 contender, the MCL35. While the papaya orange is as cool as ever, the use of blue could have been better. The MCL35 also gets the halo in the same orange as the […]
