2021 F1 Bahrain test de-brief with Scarbs

Only one pre-season F1 test in 2021, so there was lots to be learned and tried in Bahrain. I talked to Craig Scarborough after the test about new developments on the cars, the outstanding pace of Red Bull-Honda…and what appeared to be a disappointing test for Mercedes.

Sainz to Ferrari, Daniel to McLaren. Wow!

Good news all round, I think, to have Carlos Sainz in a Ferrari and Daniel Ricciardo a McLaren-Renault/Mercedes (post-2020). Carlos will bring a dash of Latin flair to the most glamorous team in racing; and Daniel will glide right in at McLaren alongside Lando Norris. Anyway, rather than reading about my opinions, here are my […]

Shanghai Breezes

A friend in the LeTV (Chinese TV) studio generated some nice art after the race in Shanghai: it was a colour-coded lap chart – all lines, peaks, troughs, zigs and zags. It was that sort of race. About the only thing predictable/normal was that Mercedes would win – but even that was coloured by Lewis […]
