Petrov and d'Ambrosio, Happy Xmas guys

Sorry its been a while (due to course work).

Here's some news Jérôme d'Ambrosio will driving at Virgin next season, teaming up with Timo Glock. While at Renault Vitaly Petrov will be driving for them for the next two Years. Is Jérôme d'Ambrosio a good pick for Virgin? Jury is out on him he brings in sponsorship from Belgium, Impressive in end of season testing, but with his GP2 result for the past years not sure. Time will tell for Jérôme. Meanwhile at Renault (oh btw i'm not going call them Lotus Renault yet) will have Vitaly Petrov for another two years. In my opinion I would give Vitaly another season, but two years? not sure. Good luck to Vitaly Petrov anyway, hopes he doesn't do a Nelson Piquet Jr (not the crashgate thing), were he second season is worst then his first season. Good luck for the pair of them anyway.

Other week Former Arrows and TWR boss Tom Walkinshaw (1946-2010) passed away. So here is footage of Tom Walkinshaw driving his TWR Jagaur XJS at Bathhurst in the mid 1980's enjoy.



So Happy Christmas/Holidays guys and see you in 2011. That's all Bye.

better later than nether, Sebastian Vettel 2010 World Champion, plus F1 race review

Sorry about the delay, this will be my last blog for a while. Due to other commitments but here is the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix review.

Good Points

  • Sebastian Vettel (pole, win and world champion)
  • McLaren ( Lewis Hamilton 2nd, Jenson Button 3rd)
  • Nico Rosberg (finished 4th)
  • Renault (Robert Kubica 5th, Vitaly Petrov 6th)
  • Jamie Alguersuari (finished 9th)
  • Williams ( finishing 6th in the constructors)
  • Lotus Racing (finished 10th in the constructors, Richard Branson as a stewardess on a plane will be interesting)


Bad Points

  • Ferrari (Fernando Alosno finished 7th, lost the drivers title at the last race, Fillipe Massa 10th )
  • Mark Webber (finished 8th)
  • Force India (Adrian Sutil 13th, Vitantonio Liuzzi DNF, finishing 7th in the constructors, losing a few million in prize money by a single point)
  • Michael Schumacher (crashed out on the first lap with Luizzi)


Overall not the best race this season. But a good ending to one of the Best seasons of all time. Contracts to Sebastian Vettel for winning the drivers world champion this season, he will be a great World Champion. Well earn, makes the championship more value rather than Alonso winning the championship with the Hockinheim problems early in the season. But, Alonso will be Champion next season in the right way, in my opinion. With Mark Webber missing out, was it his best chance to be World Champion? Yes, But always next season. But to be honest it was one the best championship since I be watching F1 since 1997.Bring on 2011. So last blog for a while, Bye.

MotoGP Estriol Review, Red Bull X1 video and Brazilian Grand Prix Predictions

Another quick review of the Motogp Estriol weekend, another YouTube video about the Red Bull X1 and predictions for the Brazilian Grand Prix as well.

Motogp Race weekend was wonderful, three great races (125cc race was really great with the nine laps restart won by Marc Marquez) with Jorge Lorenzo winning his eighth win of the season in the Motogp class. A great battle for third place till the end between Andrea Dovizioso and Marco Simoncelli. Great Race, Wonderful Motogp Weekend.

Waiting for Gran Turismo 5 to come out (still delay should have come out tomorrow, but delay it). But Sony has revealed the Red Bull X1 Prototype will appear in the game for now. Its a 1483bhp gas powered concept car that goes over 410kph (over 254mph), goes around the Grand Prix circult at the Nurburgring (not the Nordschleife circuit, the 13 mile one, but the grand prix track the 3 mile one ) in 1'04.853! It is only a concept, not going to be built. But the car is designed by Adrian Newey (Who design the current Red Bull F1 car the RB6) as "the future of racing were we not bound by regulations". Oveall I think its a brilliant concept car that will never happen. Here's a video of the X1 on Youtube below.



This weekends Brazilian Grand Prix predictions, Webber 1st and Vettel 2nd and Massa 3rd, Don't forget Alonso, McLarens', M. Schumacher, Kubica or Barrichello, will the Championship will be won this weekend? No. But, you can lose the championship, with any engine blow up, engine changes or accidents will change the Drivers Championship. However, Red Bull will win the Constructors Championship this weekend (they need 20 points more than McLaren). Next Week proper reviews, promise. That is all. Bye.

Korean Grand Prix Review and a Youtube video

Another quick review this week, plus a YouTube video as well.

A boring race under the safety car due to the rain (wasn't heavy rain, more with the track draining) after the safety car, it wroke up. A good race not classic race, but a good race. With both Red Bulls' retiring, one careless and one luckless. With Webber crashing out with Rosberg as the victim, Webber blame himself for that incidence. And Vettel blown Renault with 10 laps to go, that cost both drivers the championship lead with Alonso now taking the lead with the win at Korean Grand Prix last Sunday. Hamilton second and Button didn't score a point. It makes a possible four way for the championship now with two races to go.

When we go to Brazil, Lotus will confirm the Renault deal. Guess what I found on
YouTube, former F1 driver Martin Brundle driving a 1986 Lotus Renault T98, the Fastest Lotus ever! driving at Silverstone. Enjoy!

Contracts to Champs, and a quick Japanese Grand Prix review

This is going to be a short blog, due to some coursework to do. So I like to
contractions to these drivers winning championships last Sunday:

Contracts to Jorge Lorenzo and Toni Elias for winning the MotoGP and Moto2 championship at Sepang last Sunday. Contracts to
Ryuichi Kiyonari for winning his third British Superbikes championship at Oulton Park last weekend. Contracts to Mikhail Aleshin winning the Formula Renault 3.5 Series last Sunday at Barcelona. Contracts to Jason Plato for winning his second British Touring Cars Championship at Brands Hatch last Sunday.

Right a quick Japanese Grand Prix Review (got to do some coursework so no long one this time). Sebastian Vettel won the race with a Red Bull one-two with Mark Webber finish second. Fernando Alonso third, Jenson Button forth and Lewis Hamilton fifth place. Making Red Bull leading Constructor Championship even more with this result and Red Bull leading the Drivers Championship with Webber still leading. Only Red Bull can lose it now. All clear to go with South Korea next. Three to go.That is all, bye.
