ITV Streaming issues 2008-03-13 19:01:36 It seems the live stream of the practice sessions has gone well, too well in fact, the ITV website is struggling under load.
Perhaps ITV will take this as a sign of the fact that they should broadcast it on the telly, even if it’s on ITV4 or ITV4!
UPDATE - It seems now that LimeLight [...] Read more:Streaming

The Sand Bagging debate 2008-03-13 12:20:15 There has been a lot of talk recently that BMW Sauber have been sand bagging during testing, and as of yet we have not seen the actual test times for the car. People have said that when they have been testing with the other teams that they ran high fuel runs, whereas the other [...]
Australia Result 2008-03-16 01:30:17 And it’s a result for Lewis Hamilton, and McLaren.
Lewis drove a start to finish winning race, however the news is the Ferrari cars.
None of the Ferrari powered cars managed to finish the race, with two engine failures (Kimi and Bordause).
It was also nice to see the BMW and Williams on the podium, Heidfeld [...] Read more:Australia

Pole for Lewis, but that’s not the surprise 2008-03-14 23:38:13 Lewis popped his McLaren onto the Pole position, but the surprise is who is in second.
We already know that Kimi is starting 16th, so it was expected that the second Ferrari would be lining up next to him. That did not occur though, and it was not Lewis’s team mate Heikki either.
Nope hat’s off to [...] Read more:Lewis
Kimi to start from 16th 2008-03-14 22:45:09 Kimi will start the first race of his 2008 season from the 16th spot as his car stopped out on track during the end of the Q1 session at Melbourne.
It seems that his fuel pressure regulator has given up on him (the team suffered the same issue Friday). So the team that had one [...]
Australia a full runthrough 2008-03-17 12:49:01 After having a few hours nap, then watching the GP again as it was repeated, then napping. I thought it about time to do my full race synopsis.
The race for various reasons has to be one of the best in the resent past, and I have had quite a few comments from ‘non F1′ [...] Read more:Australia

Malaysia Preview 2008-03-19 09:30:01 The second of our 2008 fly away opening races is upon us, just one week after the Australian GP.
This one is again a difficult, hot race, and cars that had heat issues last week will probably have more of the same.
Sepang is also a challenging circuit for the engines, even if the heat is [...] Read more:Malaysia

McLaren Penalised 2008-03-22 10:49:56 The McLaren drivers have both been penalised 5 places on the grid for tomorrows race for blocking Nick Heidfeld during his fast lap.
The McLaren team’s Martin Whitmarsh said “We accept the stewards’ decisions, but would like to add that neither Lewis nor Heikki impeded any of their competitors deliberately. It was an unfortunate incident, nothing [...]
Qualifying at Malaysia 2008-03-22 02:19:22 The Ferrari’s looked good in qualifying. Both of the Scarlet cars are on the front of the grid, with Massa taking the pole spot.
The McLaren’s looked slower all qualifying session, so it seems that they may have put a little more fuel in the cars, and went for the second row, which they got. [...] Read more:Malaysia
Final Practice 2008-03-21 23:18:38 Why ITV does not show this session I don’t know, but looking at the timing screen it’s a strange layout in the times.
David Coulthard and Mark Webber where on track, and both finished the session, so it looks like the car has been cleared for qualifying at least.
The BMW in the hands of Nick Heidfeld [...] Read more:Final

Ferrari still with car issues? 2008-03-20 21:57:28 Just watching the Live coverage of the test session 1, and it looks like Kimi has again been forced to leave his car out on track, and walk back to the pits.
Have Ferrari
still got the same issues as they did in Australia? it is another hot session in Malaysia. Kimi seemed to loose drive, [...]

Malaysia a full runthrough 2008-03-24 13:47:54 It was not quite the race that McLaren and Lewis were hoping for after their domination in Australia. It was however an interesting race, as it showed that the season is not going to be the two horse race that we have had in recent seasons.
Ferrari shone all weekend, and where pretty much unbeatable, [...] Read more:Malaysia
Malaysia Race Report 2008-03-23 03:51:20 Without doubt the Ferrari’s where the cars to beat this time out, however Massa managed to throw his car off the road and into the gravel to end his race. Kimi however kept his head, and finished the race on the top step of the podium.
Lewis had an on/off race, at points showing great pace, [...] Read more:Malaysia

So here you see our nice new [...] Read more:Clean
Turkey a full runthrough 2008-05-13 10:38:20 The Turkish GP again did not disappoint. We had all sorts of drama in the race, both on and off the track.
The Ferrari’s where surprisingly not as far ahead of the McLaren’s as we thought they would be, and the BMW-Sauber’s where miles off the pace. So it seems to have all moved at the [...] Read more:Turkey
