Driver Profile - Lella Lombardi

Evening everyone. It's time for another Driver Profile, and this may be one of the most important ones we've ever published. Out of nearly 800 Formula 1 drivers over the last 74 years, only five have been female, and only one has reached the scoreboard in a World Championship Grand Prix. Yes, we've ...

Re: Singapore GP ROTR

1. Red Bull . Bafflingly off the pace having crushed everything in their path beforehand. 2. Fernando Alonso . A performance that could merit the "Retire, Old Man" tag. Honourable mentions to Logan Sargeant , who should be demoted a rank to Logan Soldier after that performance, and George ...

Re: Singapore GP IIDOTR

1. Carlos Sainz Jr . Be real, who thought Carlos would be the one to end RB's reign of terror? Dominant and sneakily tactical drive worthy of Alain Prost, glad to see him get a much cleaner victory than his rather scruffy Silverstone win last season. 2. Liam Lawson . Points in that barge of a car. I...

Driver Profile - François Migault

Evening everyone :deletraz: After a relatively barren 1960s, French drivers seemed to drip out of every pore of motorsport. While many of them experienced significant success in Formula 1, others simply didn't get the breaks. Our subject this time around had the misfortune of getting drives with BRM...

Infinite Improbability Drive of the Race - Italy 2023

1. Carlos Sainz Jr. An unexpected pole and a hard-earned podium, can't really ask more from the weekend.

2. Liam Lawson. More and more evidence he should be in the AT for the rest of the season.

Reject of the Race - Italy 2023

1. The formation lap fiasco. Not casting the sport in a great light, a bit too much like amateur hour.

2. Alpine. Double Q1 knockout, never looked likely to score.

Honourable mention to Aston Martin, the first time this season they've looked genuinely poor.

Purely for his performance in the Sprint Race yesterday, completely vindicating his decision to leave Alpine in the lurch this time last ye...

Infinite Improbability Drive of the Race - Spain 2023

1. Guanyu Zhou. Firmly had the measure of Bottas all weekend, and to my eyes seems to be the Alfa driver with the more secure future in F1.

2. Carlos Sainz Jr. Purely by default, this was the first weekend in a while where he was the best Ferrari driver.

1. Sergio Perez. Well, it was nice to have the illusion of a title battle this season.
