A quick word on new F1 liveries: it’s not all bleak in the PR department! At long last! I like the latest authorized plagiarism of Classic Lotus by HAAS or Renault’s take on its own legacy, and even McLaren’s “f*** Ron Dennis” bright blue and […]
Continuing with Diego’s sights (and sounds?) of Barcelona F1 test last week. We actually tend to like the look of new front wings: they’re cleaner, with less bits hanging all over the place. Even the nasty HALO does not spoil the overall picture! It’s also […]
Diego Merino was recently in Barcelona, well not the main city with its wonderful El Bullidromes, fairly dangerous electric scooters and très sympa tapas-erias, but rather the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya, Montmeló (en español). Formula 1 first pre-season test being the main reason for Diego’s trip […]
Have you ever photographically flirted with dummy Alonso, fully attired, his latest Arai F1 helmet on and comfortably sitting in what appeared to be his (now forever) last title-winning car, Renault R26 painted in bright orange 2008 team colours? I mean, dummy Alonso was the […]
It’s always great to watch how a promising driver progresses through the ranks; but to watch from the support series paddock is a total pleasure. All this despite Monza ’16 not being the best memory for Charles Leclerc: he started from pole, then went backwards […]

We continue our GP3 long goodbye series with this trip down the memory lane: Tony’s visit to GP3’s standalone race at Valencia’s permanent circuit in 2013. The Sage took full advantage of the situation and promptly interviewed Conor Daly on the spot, probably our fave […]
Probably my favourite GP3 car was/is the GP3/13: the looks, the sound, the fact it was tested by Kimi Raikkonen! Doesn’t get better than that. It had skirts, high nose (nowadays they can’t lower it enough! meh!), excellent track presence. You name it. Everything just […]
