    So who’s going to win the 2014 World Drivers Championship and why?

    F1 2014 has been pretty good so far. The first few races of the year have provided fans with plenty to talk about – and with the new quieter engines you can even hear what the fans are saying! It has been a very mixed year for the actual teams though. Obviously Mercedes are enjoying…

  • Home Run for Vettel – and Murray!

    Home Run for Vettel – and Murray!

    Finally Sebastian Vettel wins the German Grand Prix. Considering his dominance in recent years and the stack of youngest driver records he holds, it is somewhat surprising that, before yesterday, he had never won his home Grand Prix. On the same day that Vettel was winning at home for the first time, Andy Murray won…

  • Explosive Grand Prix

    Explosive Grand Prix

    Someone at the FIA has a sense of humour.

    Just another Saturday for Daytona…

    Over the last 21 years I have been lucky enough to be involved in some very glamorous and exciting karting events. Race Directing the Daytona 24 Hours on the Race Of Champions Circuit on the pitch at Wembley Stadium was a highlight, as was entering an endurance race with Tom Cruise.

    How to win the F1 championship

    Formula 1 is enjoying probably the best season for about 15 years. As British motorsport fans we all enjoyed watching Lewis’ successes over the previous three years, just as much as we enjoyed watching Button, Hill and Mansell thrashing everyone in their hey-days (with Adrian Newey’s help in most cases), but really F1 hasn’t been…
