It’s only seven points and we all know last year he had an even bigger margin and still managed to lose the Championship, but can it really happen twice?  Let’s look at the situation.  The first non-driver influence is McLaren, who have been aching for a new World Championship win and after last years issues, [...]

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.
Ah well, sorry Lewis, that comment seemed to jinx your race didn’t it!  It’s all about the first corner at the Hungaroring and Felipe Massa staked his claim perfectly, Lewis was simply not expecting such an assault as he [...]

August 3rd, 2008 by Team Principal | 0

This is Lewis Hamilton’s chance to make it three wins in a row, as he sits on pole position in Hungary.  His team mate Heikki Kovalainen makes it an all-McLaren front row in position two and Massa claws back some Ferrari dignity in third place.  BMW’s Kubica and a storming Timo Glock for Toyota then [...]

Could this be Lewis Hamilton’s most important race of 2008?  It was obvious he was on a massive high after his Silverstone win, as his two key qualifying laps showed, and it must have felt good to see Raikkonen, who many would consider his main rival, struggling with the handling of his Ferrari.  With Kimi [...]

Kimi? Kimi Who?

June 14th, 2008 by Team Principal | 1 comment

There’s nothing like a bit of psychological warfare to really rub salt in the wound.  Not content with smashing into the back of Kimi Raikkonen’s Ferrari in Canada, Lewis Hamilton has now completely forgotten the Fin even exists by publicly stating that he sees Robert Kubica as the main championship rival this season.
Now, Robert was [...]

Must he though?  It seems that despite Tuesday’s FIA ruling, everyone still wants to see the back of him, which has revealed what we all knew anyway - it was all just an opportunity to oust him.
Max has never been the most popular man in F1, but then how many people in such a position [...]
