  • F1 Debrief – Insanity Personified in a Circle
    F1 Debrief – Insanity personified in a circle Christine: This is F1 Debrief - Insanity personified in a circle. Coming up on this show, we bring out the big guns to talk all things Indy 500. Our last F1 Debrief show was all about Fernando Alonso’s Indy 500 adven- ture, which is now just days away - very exciting! We got quite a bit of feedback telling us we didn’t know what we were talking about, which is a fair assessment. So to rectify the situation, we’ve roped in Pat W of the I Watch Too Much Racing blog, and Lukeh, both of whom are IndyCar fans and experts and can tell us where we’re going wrong. So, hopefully from this chat we can all learn a bit more about what to expect this weekend, and I'll be taking copious notes in case this situation should ever arise again. Mr C: Pat, firstly, give us the rundown on what's going. What is Fernando Alonso doing? Pat: Well first of all, hello, it's good to be back. It's been a while. What's he doing? He says he's going for the triple crown which is the three biggest races in the world, arguably. Which is the Monaco Grand Prix, which he's won already, the Indy 500 and the 24 Hours of Le Mans. Part of me wonders if that's what he's doing, whether that's his real motivation, or whether he just wanted to do something different because he's bored. But I think he does want to do Indy, genuinely.

  • Press Release
    Press Release MARCH 17, 2013 Renault powers Lotus F1 Team and Kimi Raikkonen to Australian Grand Prix victory The Renault­powered Lotus F1 Team E21 of Kimi Raikkonen has taken the first win of the 2013 season following a scintillating Australian Grand Prix. The 2007 world champion started from seventh on the grid and used a clever pit stop strategy to secure victory by more than 12 seconds over Ferrari’s Fernando Alonso. Reigning world champion Sebastian Vettel finished in third overall in the Infiniti Red Bull Racing, putting two Renault­engined drivers onto the podium. Raikkonen graduated to fifth off the start and made an early change to the medium compound tyres on lap 9. He completed a long stint on this set of rubber and, despite two light rain showers, stayed out longer than his closest rivals. The Finn returned to the pits on lap 34, after which the strategy unfolded perfectly as Alonso, Hamilton, Massa and Vettel made one further stop, leaving Raikkonen out in front. Vettel converted his pole position into an immediate lead but likewise made an early switch to the medium tyres. He then raced hard with Sutil, Hamilton and Massa, before taking the final podium spot. Team­mate Mark Webber had a slow start and struggled with a KERS that only functioned intermittently, but had a strong finish to claim sixth overall. Romain Grosjean (Lotus F1 Team) put a fourth Renault­engined car into the points, claiming tenth. Williams F1 Team had a more difficult race: Valtteri Bottas finished his debut Grand Prix in 14th overall however Pastor Maldonado retired on lap 24 following a spin.

  • Ferrari Driver Sebastian Vettel Wins from Pole in Canada with a One-Stop Ultrasoft-Supersoft Strategy
    FERRARI DRIVER SEBASTIAN VETTEL WINS FROM POLE IN CANADA WITH A ONE-STOP ULTRASOFT-SUPERSOFT STRATEGY ONE PIT STOP FOR NEARLY ALL DRIVERS, WITH LOW WEAR AND DEGRADATION HELPED BY AN EARLY SAFETY CAR PERIOD ALL THREE COMPOUNDS USED DURING THE RACE, HELD IN WARM AND DRY CONDITIONS Montréal, June 10, 2018 – There was a mix of tyre strategies in play at Montreal, with three different teams on the podium and two different philosophies on strategy. Ferrari’s race winner Sebastian Vettel and Mercedes runner-up Valtteri Bottas both started on the ultrasoft and then switched to the supersoft at around the same time. The two Red Bull drivers in third and fourth went the opposite route, carrying out a shorter first stint on the hypersoft and then switching to the supersoft for the run to the flag.Throughout the frontrunners’ battles with their direct rivals, the timing of the pit stops was also an important consideration, with many drivers attempting an ‘undercut’ in a close strategic duel. Haas driver Romain Grosjean, who dropped to the back of the grid after a problem in qualifying, completed an extremely long first stint on the ultrasoft before finishing just outside the points on the supersoft. MARIO ISOLA - HEAD OF CAR RACING “The strategy was really dictated by qualifying yesterday, with the early safety car period here also ensuring that a one-stopper became the way to go, on top of the low wear and degradation seen on this track generally. All three nominated compounds were used extensively during the race, with different thinking on strategy all the way down the grid.

  • Another Strong Run for Larson at Pocono Raceway
    Results (with starting position) from the Windows 10 400 at Pocono Raceway 1. (7) Matt Kenseth, No. 20 Toyota 2. (9) Brad Keselowski, No. 2 Ford 3. (10) Jeff Gordon, No. 24 Chevrolet 12. (27) No. 42 Suave Men Chevrolet SS (Larson) 15. (17) No. 1 Lexar Chevrolet SS (McMurray) Another Strong Run for Larson at Pocono Raceway The NASCAR Sprint Cup Series (NSCS) stopped in Eastern Pennsylvania this weekend for the second and final stop of the season at Pocono Raceway, a track where Kyle Larson has enjoyed several good runs. The Target team, racing the Suave Men Chevy at the Tricky Triangle, steadily improved throughout the weekend to put together a strong race on Sunday, finishing 12th after a 27th place start. During the first day on track as they prepared for qualifying, the team worked to find more speed in a car that was tight handling to start. Unfortunately, during qualifying the handling issues went the other way for Larson, as he fought a loose handling car during the opening round and earned a 27th place start. On Saturday, the team hit on some adjustments to help the car and made solid gains that looked to have Larson in a spot to move up from the back and be competitive. Although he would start the race in 27th, Larson steadily improved his position and managed to get inside the top-10 by Lap 35. Throughout the day, the Suave Men Chevy showed good balance and speed as Larson handily maintained a spot in the top-10 until the final laps of the race when he was forced to pit for fuel.
