Formula One. From the outside, looking in and ignoring the spin.

Any Hope for Cosworth?

By Team Principal on Wed October 18 2006

Now that Williams have got to grips with their 2007 spec Toyota powerplants, it looks like legendary motor manufacturer Cosworth will not be supplying a Formula One team next year.  Back in the late 60s and early 70s, Cosworth engines were a major force in the sport, particularly in 1973 when cars powered by the engine won ever race in the season.

Road Safety.

By Team Principal on Wed October 18 2006

Living in Greece means that I see some of the worst driving in Europe, with politeness and consideration coming low on the list of priorities for the average motorist.  If you live in the California, USA however, it seems that new drivers must take some serious courses before becoming a learner driver.  Using the services of this website allows new drivers to take these tests at their own pace and from their own home, making a further trip to another school at the end of the day redundant.

Boring Brazil?

By Team Principal on Fri October 13 2006

Do you think that Alonso's 10 point lead in the championship has taken the edge off the season finale at Brazil? Wonder if it's all a forgone conclusion and is hardly worth bothering with? Think again, and spare a though for Rubens Barrichello, as I predict that Interlagos is going to be one of the hardest fought GP's yet!

Goodbye Suzuka (for now...).

By Team Principal on Mon October 9 2006

You have to love Suzuka.  Without the excitement that is Spa on the 2006 calendar, it was this race that I was most looking forward too and although the race was no classic, we did get to see 20-odd F1 cars go round the 130R 53 times!  If, all of a sudden, I gained the talent of an F1 driver for a day and was given the chance to drive one circuit, it would be a tough choice vetween Spa and Suzuka.

Japanese Grand Prix 2006

By Team Principal on Sun October 8 2006

I suppose the championship can still be won by one of two drivers, but for this to happen one team will have to experience the worst race of the year.  Michael Schumacher's first engine failure for several years couldn't have come at a worse time and it has in effect, handed the championship to Alonso for the second year running.  For Michael to win, he needs to win in Brazil and Alonso must not score a single point.

  • Cursing KERS.:
    • Team Principal: True, but I'd rather be talking about which team was implementing it best than which team was actually using it!
    • Christine: The only excuse for not mandating KERS more strongly is to try and induce development... but that doesn't follow if the choice is to either have it or not. Still, the day F1 has clear rules, we'll have nothing left to talk about!
  • No Buyer for Honda = 18 Cars for 2009.:
    • Team Principal: I'd love for that to be the case too, but blimey, this is *really* last minute!
    • Christine: I wonder if they will save it until the very last minute to announce something. Keep us guessing. We live in hope, I guess.
    • Bruce McIntire: A friend of mine just emailed me one of your articles from a while back. I read that one a few more. Really enjoy your blog. Thanks
  • Kimi? Kimi Who?:
    • Boy George: Hamilton is the man right now, He doesn't have to worry about anybody but himself. Inf he stays focused and doesn't make any major mistakes he will take the title.
  • German F1 Grand Prix Race 2008:
    • Boy George: Cool post. It kinda makes me think about it.
