2019 Chinese GP: Hamilton Wins 1000th F1 Grand Prix

The 2019 Chinese GP was the 1000th official Formula One Grand Prix, and though there was much buzz in the media around this fact, the race itself — and, in particular, its presentation — offered little of the spectacle that would have seemed fitting for the occasion. Mercedes secured its third one-two result of the […]

2017 Hungarian Grand Prix: Vettel’s Steering Goes Awry, But Nothing Else

Even though the results of the 2017 Hungarian Grand Prix were, predictably, strongly based on the qualifying results set the day before, the race nonetheless made for an exciting watch.

Ferrari Wins Controversial 1-2 at Monaco Grand Prix

Despite my exhaustion, I watched the 2017 Monaco Grand Prix immediately after coming home from the Indy 500, having had an inkling from social media, but no details, that some controversial event had taken place.

Hamilton Wins the 2017 Spanish Grand Prix
