F1 Academy's Valencia Free Practice 1 was characterised by the largest number of deleted laps for track limits I've ever seen! 6 drivers received TL warning flags and 3 (Caceres, Chong & Lovinfosse) received 2 minute stop & go penalties!

F1 Academy's pre event test afternoon session at Valencia was dominated by the Al Qubaisi sisters (and their MP team), the Carlin ladies remained off the pace.

Sadly, I'm old enough to have actually seen Stirling Moss race before his accident, I became addicted to F1 in the 1960s, raced myself from 1969 through the mid 70s (up to to F5000), and have been an avid follower ever since. The sport changed for me the moment that mainstream car manufacturers boug...

Nice to see a strong return to form for Sam Lowes at Jerez, pole by 0.5s and apart from the start never threatened. Acosta, despite being at home, had no answer but was still better than the rest.

Why does their dsq for a tech infringement show how the F1A concept is flawed?
