Some fellow F1 obsessives in the Twitterverse have set up a website which is part blog, part discussion forum where we can indulge in our favourite passion. It’s called Diffuse F1 and is shaping up to be quite fun.
You are warmly invited to come over and play if you’re an F1 fan, and you [...]

A few random thoughts which have hit me over the past 24 hours:
I am having a hard time coping with the idea that someone who was born in the year I got married (1988) is old enough to be Doctor Who’s Companion. Good luck to Karen Gillan, though as it seems that, like Irn [...]

59 minutes past the 11th hour tonight marks the deadline for entries for next year’s Formula One championship. I’ve written before about the issues which have led to a sensational threat to quit F1 after 60 years from Ferrari.
I don’t think anyone seriously expects agreement not to be reached – there have been a [...]

I haven’t paid much attention to Liberal Vision so far, but I think I might start.
First, they come up with a post that compares the way Ross Brawn seized the day to form his new Formula 1 team and come from nowhere to dominate the sport in less than 3 months to the opportunity [...]

It’s another milestone for this blog – 600 posts – and how good to mark it by commenting on yet another fantastic result for Brawn in the Monaco Grand Prix. Jenson Button confirmed his stamp on the championship leaderboard by not putting a foot wrong and led virtually all the way apart from a [...]

Two hours on from the qualifying for the Monaco Grand Prix, I can finally breathe again. One thing about my health at the moment is that an adrenaline rush quickly sends me crashing down, drained of energy. I shouldn’t probably watch things that I’m going to get all in a lather about, but [...]

There seems to be as many contradictory accounts of today’s FOTA meeting and subsequent talks with Max Mosley on the crisis facing Formula One as there were particpants at them, but I’ll concentrate on just three.
Now, each of these comes with a massive health warning – let’s face it the accounts from Ferrari’s Luca di [...]

Regular readers will know how much I love the BBC Formula One Coverage. I think with its combination of no ads, bitching, banter and Brundle it is the best sports reporting team ever.
Its website is pretty darned good as well with a regular video blog from Murray Walker, as much background information as you [...]

Oh to be a Formula One boss! If I ever have to have a crisis meeting, it’s usually in a boring office or a draughty community hall. Today, though, the setting for the Formula One Teams Association could barely be more opulent – Flavio Briatore’s yacht moored just off the glittering principality of [...]
