Phew! How exciting was that?

May 30, 2010

What a race….well, at the front anyway. It was a little boring behind the Michael Schumacher mobile chicane, but it was pretty exciting between the McLaren and Red Bull boys – both of whom managed to come together in their respective fights for the lead.

Webber again at Monaco

A Webber Walk Over

May 11, 2010

The Aussie just drove out of his skin all weekend and lead from pole to flag – great drive. It was a pretty dull race otherwise, and poor old Lewis went out on the penultimate lap while lying a strong second.

Some real movement in our league table this week, with several zeros scored and an [...]

Jenson Back on Top!

March 28, 2010

Jenson reminded me of Alain Prost at his best today, driving a near perfect race, and calling the tactics on tyres brilliantly to win by a comfortable margin.
