DC’s Belgian GP Preview

Barring weather-related anomalies, I have a hunch that Sunday’s Belgian Grand Prix is going to tell us a lot more about the destination of this season’s title. That may sound self-evident, but let me explain.

Jenson Button has remarked that this race and the next one in Monza constitute a make or break double-header for McLaren and I .. read more

Try as he might he could never get the number one badge to stick at McLaren. So off Mr Alonso went to Renault whilst patiently waiting for that available seat at Ferrari (a seat which appeared a year before the red teams existing driver contracts expired no less). Mind you during the Renault days he did almost manage to wreck .. read more

Valencia – David’s Telegraph Column

Successive McLaren one-twos in Istanbul and Montreal have seen Lewis Hamilton and Jenson Button leapfrog Red Bull at the top of the standings but it is desperately tight and there are signs that Ferrari and Mercedes may be about to .. read more

Canada – DC’s view on the race

I’m not sure how Tiger Woods will fare on his return to St Andrews for the Open championship this summer but if he hacks his way around the Old Course for two days, just about scrapes the cut and ends up with the also-rans come Sunday evening, I imagine it will be a lot .. read more

Somehow the Australian Grand Prix feels like the natural and correct 2010 season opener. Looking back at the snorefest that was the Bahrain Grand Prix maybe we should just put it behind us and forget it ever happened!!! So with that in mind welcome to the new season proper!!!

The Albert Park track never fails to deliver exciting races and we .. read more

And then there was two! Can you believe the 2009 Formula One season has nearly finished? Where has the year gone?

Well done to Sebastian Vettel for his win in Japan. We like the German and think his huge smile and cheeky comments always brighten up the paddock.

That said though we would still love Jenson Button to win this years championship .. read more

We love this circuit!

Yep it’s Singapore time again and although the circuit doesn’t provide any great memorable corners, like Eau Rouge in Belgium, it still looks totally awesome at night time and there’s still something oddly alien about watching an F1 car driving around a floodlit circuit.

As to who’s going to win the race this weekend we reckon it’s a .. read more

So it’s Lewis Hamilton on Pole Position in Italy. Who would have thought we’d be saying that four months ago!

Maybe it’s no coincidence that six of the seven cars at the front of this weekends grid are powered by Mercedes engines – at Monza pure engine power probably shows more than anywhere else so I think we can safely say .. read more

What a strange race weekend. Force India, Toyota and BMW at the front of the grid after qualifying in normal, dry track conditions – That’s not right is it?

Well actually yes it was and, in Force India’s case, they came within a half second of a race win on pure performance alone!  Tyre use has apparently played a big part .. read more

Valencia it is then! We’re trying not to prejudge but hoping that the race isn’t as boring as last year or the Hungarian Grand Prix may lose it’s “king of the snores” title. Apparently there have been some circuit tweeks at Valencia, to promote overtaking, so fingers crossed it delivers another nail biting race.

McLaren, Red Bull, Brawn GP or Ferrari? .. read more
