F1 Academy held a 2 day yesterday session yesterday & today at Zandvoort.

Both days saw mixed conditions with predominately wet running.

Abby Pulling was fastest yesterday, 0.25s faster than Doriane Pin. She was also quickest today by 16:00, this time by 0.35s over Maya Weug.

F1 does care about image, hence the "bringing the sport into disrepute" True of some FIA & F1 team members. IMO absolutely not true of Liberty. I don't believe that anybody who is invested in or employed by Liberty gives a monkey's rear end about anything other than the money they personally and th...

Would I be overly judgemental by suggesting that Hamilton's presence at Ferrari is unlikely to encourage inappropriate behaviour by the team?

After all Ferrari's history over the past couple of decades is surely littered with risible errors

GB4 & British F4 each had 4 separate test sessions at Brands Hatch GP circuit Tuesday 16th April. GB4 saw Alicia Palmowski fastest of the 10 cars in 2 of the 4 sessions and she recorded the 2nd fastest time of the day, some 0.2s slower than Harry Burgoyne. Chloe Grant was 7th and Megan Bruce 9th ove...

I am always cynical about media response to "unethical" behaviour. I am advised that one of the leading digital journalists/presenters who is regularly critical about Horner has 13 children, only 3 are with his wife. I'd like that kind of info in the public domain everywhere so we can make ethical j...

Apologies if this was common knowledge but it was a surprise to me when I learned today that MSV's GB4 not only offers a £50k prize to the winner but a £30k prize to help the highest ranked female towards a 2025 F1 Academy drive. Now it's not likely but also not impossible for Alisha Palmowski to wi...

Yea, 2005 is up there but, for me 1996 is the most emotional. Damon Hill leads from pole for every lap to win the WDC, would have still been winner & WDC even if team mate Villeneuve hadn't retired and lost his WDC chance. Come on guys, the motor bike racer son of Graham who was a 2 x WDC winning a ...

Palmoski's debut win came after a season of racing in Ginetta sports cars, having said that she dominated and was in control. In the reverse grid race this weekend she'd gained 6 places before being hit, sadly likely deliberately, by her team mate who she was passing for 4th at time round the outsid...

The news that Massa has begun a UK high court legal action against 3 named organisations/parties regarding his failed WDC victory has changed my view on the entire process. It seems apparent that Massa feels abused by inappropriate implementation by the named orgs/peeps of the then current regulatio...

My take is slightly different, I find the continued financial reward so transparently paid so regularly to so called journalists a much bigger problem.

Race 2 saw the same podium with Pin this securing the fastest lap, Pulling back nearly 2s and Weug 4s. Chambers, passed by Lovinfosse into turn 1, simply and IMO deliberately drove into the back of LL, I do not understand how the organisers penalise a driver for going off track but do nothing when o...

Hey folks, been away poorly for a while. It's funny that Pin's 2020 performance in Girls on Track has so little significance.

I watched the highlight reel. Some enjoyable racing, but as a series they need a driver briefing on track limits, they were racing as if the track was 3 miles wide!
