McLaren capable of dethroning Red Bull
Aug.18 (Daniel Chalmers) The driver’s title may seem over, but with McLaren’s recent form and strong circuits coming up for the team the constructor’s title is still very much in their sights despite lagging somewhat in the points standings. McLaren are currently 103 points behind Red Bull. That may sound huge, but remember it’s possible [...]
Who can put an end to Vettel’s dominance?
Jun.1 (Daniel Chalmers) Sebastian Vettel’s 58 point gap at the top of the drivers’ championship is definitely assailable, but currently there is no rival consistent enough to take advantage. Spain and Monaco have shown that during the race at least, Ferrari and McLaren have the pace to take on Red Bull and Vettel. Under the [...]
Red Bull rampage looks inevitable in Barcelona
May 20 (Daniel Chalmers) Red Bull has been in strong form so far in 2011, but Spain’s demanding Catalunya circuit is really going to demonstrate the true extent of the RB7’s devastating pace. The Catalunya circuit is the true test of a racing car with a number of high speed and long corners. It’s a [...]
Don’t believe the hype qualifying is important
May 14 (Daniel Chalmers) It has been suggested that qualifying is no longer important thanks to the new rules, but evidence from the first four races doesn’t support that opinion.

May 12 (Daniel Chalmers) The Drag Reduction System (DRS) has clearly worked very effectively so far in 2011, but F1 should re-consider the way it is implemented in races to make it fairer. DRS has split the fans and drivers, and after Turkey there appears to be more negative opinion regarding the system than there [...]
What’s gone wrong with Ferrari this season?
Apr.27 (Daniel Chalmers) After a strong showing in winter testing Ferrari would have expected more than fourth place as their best result in the opening three races of 2011 and as a result the pressure is mounting on the team’s leadership to trun things around. A combination of their rivals making big leaps forward, alleged [...]
Webber holds key to Red Bull title ambitions
Apr.24 (Daniel Chalmers) Mark Webber’s form over the next few races will decide what role he will play in this championship, which could have a significant impact on the shape of the title battle. If he can start challenging Sebastian Vettel they could have another season long battle as they did last season, and end [...]
Lewis Hamilton should stay with McLaren
Apr.13 (Daniel Chalmers) There have been numerous links between Lewis Hamilton and Red Bull recently, but there is no reason why Hamilton should consider leaving the Woking squad at the end of his contract in 2012. At a glance a move to Red Bull may seem like a no brainer. They are the current world [...]
