In a shock move not by the FIA, the F1 Pit Box blog has been given a 24 hour penalty due to not posting for a few weeks.  F1 Pit Box’s Team Principal replied to the decision saying ‘we out-braked ourselves into the the last Grand Prix, leaving no room to post before other days [...]

I’m glad I’m not a Formula One race steward, they must need better security than George Bush!  Following the tedium in Valencia, Spa was an exciting weekend’s racing, culminating in one of the best final two laps of an Grand Prix I’ve ever seen; what a shame no one will remember it, thanks to a [...]

So, who’s going to win in Hungary?  Unless something untoward happens, this will be Lewis Hamilton’s race.
