I posted some photos on Friday, Saturday and Sunday at the 2014 German Grand Prix, and some of the horrific crash that Felipe Massa had on the first lap – and thankfully walked away from – but did not get round yet to putting together a post with more photos of the event. So, here…
The 2014 German Grand Prix featured plenty of memorable moments, including Felipe Massa’s first lap crash, where his Williams car flipped over after some contact with Kevin Magnussen’s McLaren. Massa’s car was, at one stage, upside down with sparks lighting the area. The crash was at the end of the start/finish straight, near where…
I’ve posted a few photos from the various sessions that made up the 2014 British Grand Prix at Silverstone, and here are some of the big event itself, the actual race on the Sunday afternoon. It is fair to say that it was a rather unusual race, with a red flag during the first…
Qualifying for the 2014 British Grand Prix was quite a memorable session, notable for its varying weather conditions that impacted the track and therefore the position of the drivers. There was dry, warm, wet, and windy weather at various times during the hour. Williams had not enjoyed the best weekend of the year, with both…
Free Practice 3 for the 2014 British Grand Prix, on the Saturday morning, was a wet affair, with rain having fallen overnight and through the morning, on and off. The GP3 session that was the first session of Saturday saw plenty of spray thrown up, and seemed very different from the warm, windy but generally…
Friday afternoon at most Grand Prix weekends – with the notable exception of Monaco – is time for the drivers’ second practice session, so last Friday saw Free Practice 2 for the 2014 British Grand Prix at Silverstone. The session was eagerly anticipated by the crowds given that FP1 had been full of action that…
The first session where the Formula One cars appeared on track at Silverstone this year was, as always, Free Practice 1 at the 2014 British Grand Prix. It was an interesting session for a number of reasons. There were a series of test and reserve drivers getting their chance in an F1 car, including Daniel…
Aerial shows have become something of a tradition at the British Grand Prix, culminating in the Red Arrows making their normal appearance just before the race on the Sunday each year. Previous years have seen fixed wing aircraft, helicopters, parachutists, and all sorts of various shows in the skies. Friday’s air show at the 2014…
I recently attended the first two days of the first Formula One Winter Test 2014, in Jerez. I did write a post about day one and day two, with a few of the photos from those days, but thought that you might like to see more of the photos from the trip. I have added…
One of the hot topics in F1 for 2014 has been how the new car sounds compared to the old. I took a short video in Jerez, and it reminded me of a similar video I took in Barcelona at Winter Testing 2012. In both cases I was quite near the track, and two…
Day Two at Formula One Winter Testing in Jerez was certainly busier than Day One. The teams seemed to have used the time on Tuesday to get the cars in a better position to go out on Wednesday, making for a busier track. I arrived at the circuit in Jerez early in the morning, and…
It may be only January, but it is already time for the fans to get the first view of the 2014 Formula One cars, and of course, for the teams to run the cars for the first time. We have just completed Formula One Winter Testing Day One in Jerez, and what an interesting day…
