Bahrain 2009

Advantages: great race, first 'normal' race of the season
Disadvantages: little in the way of retirement and incident, but plenty of intriguing moments regarding strategy

...that has invested millions in Formula 1 since they began more than 10 years ago.

Lewis Hamilton (British) was also a much happier man putting his improving McClaren on the 3rd row of the grid in a highly respectable 5th spot. The reigning World Champion has had little to smile about so far this season, and with the "lie-gate" scandal hanging over the teams head, the improved speed of the car was a small boost for morale. Fellow ...
...GP 4th, whilst team-mate Barrichello (Brazil) was 6th.

The race itself was an altogether different beast from what we had experienced in Australia, Malaysia and China. For one there was no safety car period and the race was able to finish under green flag conditions at full pace for pretty much the first time all season. Miraculously, retirements were few and far between only Williams driver Nakajima (Japan) departed early.

Formula 1 champions from 1950 to the present day

Advantages: The old masters
Disadvantages: You know who is going to win

When you think of a Formula 1 champion, the names of 'Hakkinen, Hill, Schumacher, Senna' come into mind. But who remembers to old F1 champions like 'Ascari, Brabham, Fangio'? Well here is a full list of all of them with some history about each driver. See if you can remember them or if you have even heard of them. 1950: G.Farina(It), Alfa Romeo. Emilio Giuseppe Farina, born October 30th 1906 in Turin, Italy - died June 30th 1966. Farina stands ...
...copied and admired straight arm driving style, and his status as the first F1 world champion. Nicknamed 'Nino' he awas a qualified medical doctor. Driving for the dominate Alfa Romeo team in the invincible 158 Alfetta car. Farina took 3 wins from the 7 races in the 1950 season, this securing him the first ever F1 world championship.

1986: Is History Repeating Itself in 2007?

Advantages: It's an exciting end to a great season
Disadvantages: Michael Schumacher wasn't in it this year...!

...of yawn, couch-potato spectators of Formula One grumbled that the sport was boring, that only Michael Schumacher and Ferrari won the race, with the occasional win gifted to Eddie Irvine, Rubens Barrichello and Felipe Massa (Schumacher's team-mates at Ferrari since 1996) to reward them for their loyalty over the seasons as they worked to help him become statistically the greatest driver of all time. Then it started to change. Fernando Alonso and ...
...most importantly, Fernando Alonso. Formula One was being rocked by this young man and his team-mate's composure seemed to be disintegrating as each day passed. More and more stories of poor conduct by Alonso emerged in the tabloids and then there was the infamous attempt to bribe Ron Dennis, which backfired badly on the World Champion and his team. And, slowly, it began to emerge that all hadn't been harmonious during his time at Renault, with stories ...

Get in the fast Lane. My View on the teams.

Advantages: Action, crashes, speed.
Disadvantages: I get fed up with Michael Schumacher winning all the time.

In my opinion for Formula 1 is the best motorsoprt around. My friends always moan at me and say all it is, is cars going round and round a track, get re-fuelled and go back round and round the track again. To me it's more than that. I really enjoy seeing how each teams strategy works for them in the race and I love it when there is some serious racing going on and wheel to wheel action. The Teams: - ----------------------Scuderia Ferrari----------------------- ...
...Alonso shined as an excellent Formula 1 driver by coming 5th in the championship and having a win under his name. Trulli also done very well by consistently getting points at each race. I think that this partnership has been the up point of their constant points scoring positions. --------------------McClaren Mercedes-------------------- Drivers: Kimi Raikonen and David Coulthard. Basically this team is doing crap this year. So far Kimi Raikonen, ...

They're not much older than me

Advantages: May finally stop Michael Schumacher
Disadvantages: Could be an anti-climax

...reward – a driver in Formula One. In September 2001, Wilson found his name on the lips of several F1 enthusiasts not to mention the odd F1 team, yet his F1 drive has still managed to elude him. The Yorkshireman became the first ever F3000 winner from good ol’ Blighty after notching up 4 wins and another 6 podium finishes out of 12 races. Such was his talent that he beat off competition from the initial clear favourite and possible F1 ...
...to take part in the Formula Nippon series – a kind of Asian F3000 series – where he won all of the races apart from one. His renewed talent is getting the teams interested again. Although, he wont get a 2002 drive inF1, his new Toyota backing from America could see him in a Toyota F1 seat in 2003. My prediction: I believe Takagi deserves another chance. He has again proved he is fit for F1 but he’ll need a good car first. If the ...

Mel and Deano's Blind Date Part 2

Advantages: Well you never know, it could happen
Disadvantages: Well you never know, it probably won't

, a threesome. If this works out then good old Ollie will be a very envied man here on Ciao. All three of these are Formula 1 maniacs, Ollie just likes formula 1 in general whilst his two dates only like the one dude. Maybe a few catfights on the agenda then? QUESTIONS: Ollie: Hiya Jools, as you know I love my motor racing and in formula 1 I have found my place in life. If you could wrap up one formula 1 driver for my birthday, which one would it be and why? Joolz: Montoya, Montoya, Montoya, because I love him so. Ollie: Eeerm, I said for my birthday Joolz not yours. Joolz: Oh! Sorry babe, ok, still Montoya, I just love to play with other peoples presents. Ollie: (Sigh!) Same question to you CH. CH: I’d give you Pedro De La Rosa, because he’s crap and always finishes last. Ollie: That’s not very nice, why ...

...And They're Off!...

Advantages: Great day out, well orgainsed, spectators not neglected
Disadvantages: Long day for very short 'reward'.

the majority of parking in on the grass. This is quite normal for racetracks from what I can gather, but it is worth bearing in mind if you?re going there in wet conditions, since there is always a possibility of getting stuck. A lot of the parking area is relatively near to the main building where drivers register and spectators can have a view of the Rally track, as well as get some refreshments and other typical facilities, (which I?ll mention in more detail shortly). Since we went on a ?track day?, there was no admission charge to get into the track. Had there been a particular event happening, we would have had to pay to enter. I personally don?t consider myself much of a ?petrol-head? - cars and motor racing aren?t especially my favourite pass-time, although I do occasionally enjoy watching Moto GP and Formula 1 on television ...
