Photographic Retrospective: Formula 1 China Grand Prix 2010

In your face!

From The Porsche Archives: The 935

Before there was the nutty-as-a-fruitcake FIA Group B racing, there was the only-slightly-daft FIA Group 5. Group 5 is the series that saw the 1500 hp Porsche 917 in 1970 and ’71 and the Porsche 935 later in the decade. The Group 5 formula changed significantly over the decade, as demonstrated by the two vastly [...]

Photographic Retrospective: Formula 1 Malaysian Grand Prix 2010

Kuala Lumpur’s Sepang circuit was the stage for this Sunday’s 2010 Malaysian Grand Prix and the typically rain marred race did not disappoint. Heavy rains were the story during qualifying, with some teams gambling on intermediate tires for faster times and other teams playing it safe with the full wet rubber. As a result, this [...]

What’s The Best Combination of Childhood Imagination and Motorsport? The Lego Porsche 917K

Growing up, I was a full-on Legomaniac. Once, I even entered a competition, which I promptly won. But this was years before my interest in cars grew into the fervent passion it now is. Needless to say, for me, the worlds of Lego and cars never really merged. Apparently they did for the Australian engineer [...]

F1 Video: What’s Up With Lewis?

This wouldn’t have been nearly the big deal that international media made it out to be, had it not been Lewis Hamilton at the wheel. Still, the C63 AMG in question has attracted quite a lot of attention from interested would-be buyers. It probably also wouldn’t have been such a big deal had Lewis not [...]

Photographic Retrospective – F1 Australian GP 2010

This would be the last time Herr Vettel would smile at the 2010 Australian GP. Just as two weeks ago in Bahrain, his Red Bull car would give up the ghost and cost the talented Teuton another race win. This time though, his RB6 car also robbed him of any points, as a brake failure [...]

F1 News: USF1 Hopeful for 2011 Debut (Yeah, Right)

USF1 are trading on just about the only credit anyone can give them these days: boundless, heedless optimism in the face of crushing reality. ESPN (via Crash.net) is reporting that the team are apparently hopeful that they’ll be granted a place on the grid for the 2011 season. More after the jump. Take all the [...]

Four More Things About The F1 Grand Prix of Bahrain

I’ll be honest. I’ve been a bit skeptical about the 2010 Formula One season. While the driver points changes seemed as though they had the potential to make things more interesting, I don’t think the refuelling ban betters anything for anyone. I’m also in the camp of “Michael Schumacher has everything to lose and nothing [...]

Photographic Retrospective: F1 – Bahrain 2010

There were dozens of stories inexorably interwoven into today’s Bahrain GP, the start of the 2010 Formula 1 season. To try to list them all would be an injustice to all the ones we would undoubtedly skim over. So instead, let’s take a recap of the race weekend through a photographer’s lens. For those of [...]

Video: USF1′s Remaining Options

SpeedTV has just reported on their recent conversation with the FIA’s Nick Craw regarding that organisation’s recent talks with the beleaguered USF1. While it is unlikely that they have, in fact, been wasting time making space-age toasters, it’s equally clear that they’re not going to be ready to race at Bahrain in a few weeks [...]
