Tomorrow morning then, the Monaco Grand Prix weekend, the atypical, anachronistic antidote to all Bernie’s new world circuits kicks off and, almost despite ourselves, we are quite extraordinarily excited. So the cars travel more slowly than anywhere else in the world (30mph around the hairpin); so overtaking is rarer than a shirt buttoned anywhere above […]
For those of a petrol-y persuasion midsummer means only one thing: the Holy Trinity of Motor Sport. Monaco, the Indy 500 and the Le Mans 24 Hour race. Only one driver, Graham Hill, has won all three of the world’s greatest races and, with Monaco and the Indy invariably now on the same weekend — […]
Robert Kubica has spent his life driving things quickly. He is the first Polish driver ever to compete in F1. In 2006 he was promoted from test driver to race driver for BMW Sauber, and continued to drive for them till 2009. In June 2008, he won his first F1 victory at the Canadian Grand […]

If you have nothing planned this evening, and didn’t bunk off to watch the first two free practice sessions for Sunday’s Spanish Grand Prix, then can I humbly suggest you cancel plans for this evening and fire up the iPlayer.
I don’t know about you, but around these parts summer properly starts with the first European Formula One race of this season. Stuff your cuckoos, your bluebells and your BST (overseas readers insert your local fauna, floral and daylight saving acronym here), nothing signals the arrival of lazy afternoons in the sunshine quite like the […]
