Some people love F1′s Drag Reduction System and some people hate it. It’s just one of those marmite things in life that some people are going to adore and others are going to think is a pox on their existence. For one group it is an artificial thing, and if a faster car stuck behind [...]

If there is one phrase I wish banished to the fiery pits of hell, it is “Sorry sir, we can’t serve you another drink, you’ve had too much.” In a close second, though, is “You need to look after your tyres”. In terms of the bigger picture, 2012 seems to be building up to be one of [...]

When a back marker team has a bit of a short fall in their budget, Sakon Yamamoto has become the go to guy. He is the poster boy for all the reasons why pay drivers are detrimental to F1 and is only on the grid because of the rather monstrous size of his wallet. Pay drivers are, [...]
