I previously noted on this blog that Formula 1 was in disarray, with the FOTA (Formula One Teams Association) member teams annoucing at the British GP that they were planning a break-away series.
You can read that post here, but basically the FIA (well, Max Mosley to be precise) had decided that all F1 teams should [...]

In: Formula One

5 Apr 2009

Yep, he’s done it again! After a bad start, Jenson managed to come back through for a second win in a crazy race at rain soaked Sepang!
The race was great – crazy as hell… and that was before the torrential downpour which caused the race to be stopped after lap 32 and never restarted. Button clinched his [...]

What the hell is going on at McLaren?!

In: Formula One

3 Apr 2009

When I read the FIA ruling yesterday disqaulifying McLaren and Lewis from the Australian Grand Prix, I have to admit to being somewhat incensed! I couldn’t believe it – here we are again, a new season, and already they’re trying to screw McLaren.
