Safety First in Germany
When the Formula 1 circus last rolled up to the Nürburgring, the previous ten visits had seen the Safety Car deployed just twice. Once in the wet of 1999 and once in the dry of 2006.

Glorious British Webber
A few people will know that I backed Mark Webber in qualifying at Silverstone last year at odds of 150/1. With just one driver left out on track at the end of the session, the Australian was on provisional pole. Unfortunately it wasn’t to be, but the bet has stuck in my mind ever since. Continue reading…

Two prices – about which Ladbrokes are top-priced amongst the fixed-odds firms – caught my eye this evening: Continue reading…

Ferrari Fastest Laps
Much has been written over the past week about the dominance of the Ferrari drivers at Istanbul since it was added to the Formula 1 race calendar in 2005. It is interesting to look at this success in terms of setting the fastest race laps. Continue reading…

Istanbulls

Young Guns at Monaco

Red Bull Fighting For Victory
Practically every team brings upgraded packages to Barcelona, and given how close the cars have been running pace-wise, it’s not impossible that there will be a few surprises this weekend. I’m therefore inclined to take it easy stakes-wise, whilst still believing that the current front-runners can reasonably be expected to deliver. Continue reading..
