I had to laugh, although I've been avoiding Formula 1 after I've just lost all hope of fairness in the sport after years of McLaren bashing and Ferrari winning, I've heard the news about the attempts at the Japanese Grand Prix to focus the minds of the fans on the...

I've talked about the obvious bias and corruption in Formula 1 many times before, particularly when it involves Ferrari and McLaren, where McLaren are almost always penalised and Ferrari almost always get away with whatever has happened. The last two events in the last two races have just sickened me...

It's really not hard now to go looking for disparities in the obviously messed up and heavily tainted world of Formula 1, that tarnished trophy that the FIA is trying to lift up is is looking worse for wear, the FIA have dropped it once again. Once again they are...

Almost an entire week after the completed race in Japan and the win from Lewis Hamilton, we hear the disappointing news that the FIA may, not only remove the points he won, but also push him back on the grid for Shanghai. This is another ridiculous suggestion that further demeans...

Once again Ferrai blatantly flaunted the rules of F1 to give themselves an advantage at the Japanese Grand Prix and the FIA allowed it to happen. At the start of the rain drenched Japanese GP Charlie Whiting, the race director, issued a statement to all that each team should start...

It's official, there is no saving F1 and the governing body have sounded the final death knoll as they prove once again that their motivations are money and Ferrari, and that their decisions are continually inconsistent, wrong and unfair. On Thursday the governing body, the FIA, decided that McLaren should...

My first story has appeared on Bits of News about the coming Formula 1 season. I'm going to be doing a bit of writing over there too, some Formula 1, some general stuff. As an example my next write up is hopefully going to be on the recent climate change...

A long time ago, when I was much younger, I remember there being some talk of an attempt to get a Scottish Formula 1 Grand Prix going, and if my flaky memory serves me right Jackie Stewart was involved in the attempt somewhere. The plan was to try and get...

I know I've been talking and writing for some time now (here, here, here and here) about how Formula 1 is biased towards Ferrari and therefore Michael Schumacher, but in recent comments it now seems as though Fernando Alonso and indeed Renault have discovered the same thing. During the last...

I can't believe what happened today with the US Grand Prix, there's nothing Grand about it, and despite what they would like to think the FIA have a hell of a lot to answer for. Due to inaction, mismanagement, egos, private agendas and who knows what else, the farce was...

I'm a fan, if you hadn't guessed, and I'm probably as well as informed as the average fan out there, so bear that in mind when you read this, especially if you are from the FIA. Formula 1 has really got a death wish now, with two huge new championships...

Thankfully the opening race of the season has given us Formula 1 fans some of what we wanted, racing. I had been very sceptical about the no tyre change rule, and given that races have been won or lost in the pit lane throughout many a past season, I was...

I love Formula 1, and I've followed it since I can remember. Nigel Mansell flying around in that black JPS, brilliant. I just remember fantastic battles for the lead with spectacular racing and often spectacular crashing. Now however, it is becoming dull. Ferrari are racing away with the wins with...
