Charlie was/is/will be an integral part of F1 folklore, here’s Diego Merino’s tribute to CW. Woke up today hearing very sad news from down under. Charlie Whiting has left a huge hole, both personal and professional, impossible to replace. He had the respect of absolutely […]

Diego’s View of Barcelona F1 Test 2: Day 4
And so it goes… The next time we’ll see F1 cars and stars will be in Melbourne, the cars will look somewhat different from testing because funnily enough the pace of development outpaces even our wildest imagination. What was cool in Barcelona will be quickly […]
Diego’s View of Barcelona F1 Test 2: Day 3
Formula 1 is moving so fast. Only yesterday @paddylowe was in at Williams… and he’s out as of today! It’s a bit of an unfortunate situation for both parties involved. PL’s homecoming turned sour. There’s no doubt Paddy is super talented, it’s just the team […]

Diego’s View of Barcelona F1 Test: Day 3
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 […]
Diego’s View of Barcelona F1 Test: Day 2
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 […]
