Great podium for Sergio Perez - Force India - (Previously Eddie Jordans Team), as he prepares to go to his home race at Mexico in a few weeks - the first time F1 has been to Mexico since the 1990's.  Race 17 - Mexican Grand Prix. Mexico City, 30 October - 1 November 2015.

It was a shame that we lost Rosberg due to a technical fault on his throttle, this could have been a very different podium, However, it was still a very exciting last few laps to the race.

Valtari Bottas - Crashed out on last lap colliding with Kimi Riakonnen, sent Bottas into a spin, but Massa was able to continue.

Rosberg Starts Russian GP on Pole Position!

Niko Rosberg beat team mate Lewis Hamilton for pole position, of course they are both still front row, so I don't think it will matter too much to Lewis whether he was 1,2 or 2,1.  See further below for the Qualifying Results.

Carlos Sainz races in Russian F1 GP following his high-speed crash in practice.

Carlos was taken to hospital in Sochi as a precaution after smashing head on into barriers at Turn 13, he had approached the turn at 200mph, and hit the side barrier due to his rear wheels locking up under breaking. 

Carlos was then just a passenger in a three wheeled wreck that continued straight across a run-off area and into a barrier. The worst of this was that his Torro Rosso car actually went under the barrier.  Its a rare thing to see and no doubt, this incident may bring about a change to barrier design to prevent this in the future.

In a BBC report, Both Eddie Jordan and David Coulthard said that the impact estimated at 5g was not a big impact, in fact, under normal driving drivers hit 5g breaking to a stop.  The reason why Carlos had to go into to hospital to be checked over, was to do with medical rules and regulations.

F1 2015 Race 13 
Singapore Grand Prix 
18-20 September

Vettel Wins! / Ferrari.
Ricciardo  / Red Bull.
Raikkonen  / Ferrai.

Not used to seeing Ferrari in the top three with both cars? Me too, I was devastated not to see Hamilton win as I had predicted, (more so because I lost quite a bit of money on that bet).

Vettel interviewed after the race, said this win gave him a boost. Ferrari had the pace yet just about everyone in the pit lane were surprised to not see Hamilton win.

The big surprise for me was Ricciardo, who would have to be driver of the race for this F1 fan. He stood out from the start of the race, starting second on the grid.

Team Toro Rosso had ordered, (via team orders), for Max Verstappen to let his team mate Carlos Sainz Jnr to pull over. Verstappen ignored that order. We will have to see what penalty Max faces from his team bosses for disobeying orders.

Race 9 British F1 Grand Prix Silverstone 3-5 July 2015

Race 9 - British Grand Prix

Silverstone, 3-5 July 2015.

F1 Podium.

Winner - Lewis Hamilton

Second - Nico Rosberg

Third - Sebastian Vettel

Filipe Nasr (Team Sauber), got stuck on his out-lap to the starting grid and had to retire to the pits. The three front rows were in running order with Mercedes on the front row, Williams cars on the second row and Farrari's in the third.

Only Max Verstappen was on hard tires at the start, everyone else was using medium. Max might have gained positions with hard tires, but would eventually have to switch to medium tires.

It was an eventful start to the race on a fine summers race day, starting out in the first lap there were collisions with the worst possible consequences.. Re - Hitting and taking out team mates cars!

First we saw Maldonado hit his team mate Grosjean, in the Lotus team and both cars were out; Then we saw Alonso hit his team mate Button on the McLaren team. Fortunately there were no injuries, but those race incidents brought out the safety car and backed up the remaining drivers into a parade F1 drivers all chomping at the bit to get going again.

Whilst all this was going on further toward the back of the racing pack, up at the front Hamilton made a great overtake on Bottas moments before the safety car came out.

This predicted twp stop race was going to be hard and hot on tires. Tire wear became a difficult factor to manage for most drivers, especially when following another car and judging breaking points.

On lap four, the Red Bull of Max Verstappen skidded off into a gravel trap and was beached. That choice of starting on hard tires did not pay off me thinks!

My View Point Comment.

I think you have to go with what tires your main competition are using. If everyone else is on medium tires, (you should speculate that), at least you will have an equal chance to compete!

-Perhaps your cars setup will lend its-self to different tire choices than everyone else, but you have to keep in mind that all these F1 cars have so very much in common, due to strict racing safety and design specifications, that it is almost impossible to make any gains in speed and performance over other competitors.  This is what makes F1 a drivers race, more than a manufacturers race.

An interesting new feature in this race. is the virtual safety car first seen in back in Montecarlo. It is confusing to the drivers, and Hamilton got it wrong back in Montecarlo!  During a virtual safety car period, lights and flags on the circuit, (yellows I think), and main primary lights on the drivers steering wheel display, say when the virtual safety car is out. 

During this phase, the drivers have to hold position and speed, which is intended to prevent cars bunching-up and the concertina effect that generates.  In my opinion, (whether for safety reasons or not, I don't care), I think this is too much interference.  

British Qualifying Result F1 GP 2015 for www.Formula1Race.co.uk courtesy BBC Sport.

British Qualifying Result F1 GP 2015 for www.Formula1Race.co.uk courtesy BBC Sport

A natural race obstacle is when drivers are held up by other race incidents. The next level of interference that the rule makers might as well impose, is that drivers shouldn't race each other and might as well only race against the clock. F1 racing is going down the toilet with all these rules and regulations. 

No refueling, cars that you can crash into a concrete barrier at 200 kph and walk away unscathed, DRS, traction-control, not allowed to race your team mate, team orders that go against ethical racing and all the rest of this crap is ruining F1. Its not what it was.

I have followed F1 since the late 1960's and seen it all. F1 certainly used to be more exciting although more dangerous. I hate where those drivers sport the 'No-Fear' logo. Yes, they have no-fear, because there is no-danger.  

 I still enjoy F1, if you can understand that, I like the technical side of F1, but F1 used to be much more enjoyable and exciting than it is now.  I support the F1 dumb-ing down argument.

Better drivers that needed more skill to hold a car on the road and drivers that needed backbone and courage to succeed. I reckon if you ask any of the current F1 drivers to race for real at a 1950's through 1970's or even 1990's standard of F1 rules and regulations, they would refuse. 

This is why we revere drivers like Brabham, Clark, Moss, Mansel, Stewart, Senna and of course Schumacher and many, many others. Those days are gone forever..

My favorite F1 era was definitely from 1980 - 1990 when I used to attend a lot of the races, and latterly from 1990 through to 2000 when Schuey was at his best.

Driver of the race for this F1 Fan is two fold; Hamilton and Bottas.

First has to be Hamilton because of his fabulous pole position qualifying, then after starting out overtook Bottas with a surprise attack.

Next, Hamilton fell back down to third on the grid and pulled into the pits for his scheduled first stop. The team were right on form in the pit-stop, it was so quick it made me gasp!

Coming out of the pits, Hamilton had dropped even further back to forth. Then Hamilton fought his way back to the front to win the race.

I especially liked what Hamilton had to say after the race, when he said he had to spur himself on for the fans and kept telling himself he could not let them down.

As a Brit, we like to see our local hero win the home race. I think that sentiment goes for every nationality.

Bottas made great progress throughout the race and gave us the most exciting points in the race, even when he was being overtaken by Hamilton!

Bottas left his tire change too late in my opinion and should have come into pit at the same time as his main race competitor Hamilton did.

After Hamilton came out of the pits from his first pit-stop on new tires, Bottas was still ahead, but in reality Bottas had now to stop himself and emerged from the pits behind his own team mate.. He did drive though and I believe blame should lay with the teams race director and planner.

The team should have watched what their nearest competitor was doing and matched it. Just like in boxing, if you don't square up and at least match your opponent, you won't stand a chance.

I think Bottas could have won this race if he had matched Hamilton's race plan!

Rosberg Wins!

Hamilton Second,

Massa Third. 

Austrian Race 8 Top Three Drivers F1 GP 2015 for www.Formula1Race.co.uk courtesy BBC Sport

Nico Rosberg took the lead by the first corner in the race and held it till the end. Then Raikkonen (Ferrari) and Alonso (McLaren) collided and ended-up in the barrier with the McLaren perched atop of the Ferrari, all before the first lap was over!

The next few laps were done behind the safety car. Commentary said that no-one was to blame in the collision, but it seemed to be an error by Alonso who got into an uncontrollable tank-slapper of a squirm then hit Raikkonen who was close behind.
