Infinite Improbability Drive of the Race - Baku 2023

1. Yuki Tsunoda's tyre in the sprint race. An excellent effort, 8/10 for style.

2. Karun Chandhok. Actually made Crofty tolerable for two hours. Shame about Kravitz.

Reject of the Race - Baku 2023

Nul points, a ton of damage and questionable strategy. Honourable mention to Ted Kravitz for gleefully talking up the possibility of Red Bull orderi...

Driver Profile - Vincenzo Sospiri

Afternoon everyone :deletraz: Much has been written over the years about the Mastercard Lola debacle and the hapless Ricardo Rosset. But little attention has been paid to the other man who had to grapple with the T97/30. That man's name is Vincenzo Sospiri , and 30+ years ago he had a junior resume ...

The Gravel Trap on the length of F1 seasons

Morning everyone We have a topical edition of The Gravel Trap for you this month, with Klon turning his ire on the increasing length of Formula 1 seasons, suggesting a multitude of reasons why a 15 to 17 race season is the optimal amount for the series. You can read his thoughts right here today! Mo...

Re: 2023 Austrialian GP ROTR

1. Formula 1 . I cannot believe the stupidity that took place at Albert Park today. At risk of sounding like an old fart, red flags used to occur maybe once a season at best, and usually only for hideous first lap accidents (Britain 1999), huge accidents after the 75% mark (Brazil 2003), or for simp...

It's a review of the 2000 Austrian Grand Prix with a twist - it's watched entirely within the prism of the epic Minardi v Prost battle for 10th in the constructors.

Infinite Improbability Drive of the Race - Saudi Arabia 2023

1. Kevin Magnussen. I imagine points for the lower midfielders are going to be in short supply this season, a clinical drive to secure one for Haas.

2. Yuki Tsunoda. Almost scored a point in the barge that is the AT04.

2. Alex Albon. Nearly reached Q3 and scored a precious point for Williams.

Honourable mention to Lance Stroll, battled through crippling pain to finish 6th.
