Miami Race Weekend: Race Review

After the excitement of the Sprint qualifying the Race qualifying was a bit of a letdown. Or more accurately, more of what we are used to. The biggest disappointment for me was Ricciardo qualifying last. The race itself however was amazing! Action all the way up and down the field. Magnussen doing more Magnussen things and trying to go for the record of most penalty points incurred during one race weekend. As much as it was entertaining, some of his moves were way beyond the limits the same as the Sprint. He is likely really close to a race ban…

Miami Race Weekend: Sprint Review

The new Sprint weekend format is much better this year. I prefer it to last year and it is more engaging than three practice sessions. I am not sure all the drivers would agree but I think it is better to have more action and it does seem to mix things up a bit. I just finished watching the Sprint race and I have to say I loved it.

Syntax slip-ups and lame titles

The speculation about Newey leaving Red Bull became fact today. I only just yesterday posted about it and honestly didn't expect news either way for a while.

I haven't talked about it on this site yet, but I follow Formula 1. Although I am nowhere near what I would class a hardcore follower, I have followed for many years. I do not have a favourite team, but I have some drivers that I really like. Namely Valtteri Bottas (increasingly so lately!), Daniel Ricciardo, Fernando Alonso, and Carlos Sainz. I tend to lean more to the technical side of F1. Anyway, I digress. It's been well known for what seems like forever that Newey is the best car designer in F1. Admittedly I mostly know him from Red…
