Sebastian Vettel: The rights and wrongs of the “Crash Kid”
In the aftermath of the Belgian Grand Prix, Sebastian Vettel has come in for a fair bit of criticism for putting himself out of contention once again and damaging his championship chances.
Spa was his third retirement of the season. He is now 31 points off the championship lead. He’s made things more difficult for [...]
Hungarian GP: The Decisive Moments
The Hungarian Grand Prix has developed a reputation as a bit of a dull race over the years, although there have been some races where due to strategy reasons, the race has been enthralling.
One that springs to mind was the 1998 classic, when Ferrari’s Ross Brawn switched Michael Schumacher on a three stop strategy, [...]
Listen: JA on F1 Grand Prix Special with Eddie Irvine
I had a great time today hosting a radio show for the first time with ex Ferrari driver Eddie Irvine, rock star Chris Rea and F1 journo Adam Cooper.

F1 in Schools WebsiteF1 in Schools, the global engineering challenge for school children, of which I am proud to be a patron, has had two major breakthroughs recently.

Should KERS come back to F1 next year?
I’ve been interested by the discussions about bringing back KERS this past week, following the FOTA meeting in Malaysia at which it was on the agenda.
KERS, for anyone not familiar with the term, is Kinetic Energy Recovery System, which harvests energy from braking, stores it as electrical energy and then reintroduces it to the system [...]
F1 Timing app on ipad
The official F1 live timing app, for which JA on F1 provides the live text commentary, has been updated for 2010 and is also available for the new ipad, which hit the shops in the USA this week and will be in the UK soon.
It’s a very cool app and one I’m delighted to be [...]

Mark Webber has hit back at suggestions that he may retire from Formula 1 at the end of this season.
The 33 year old Australian arrived in the Melbourne paddock today with stories swirling around him thanks to an intervention from Lewis Hamilton, who suggested that he might retire at the end of the season, ”I [...]
FIA parc ferme relies on Big Brother camera technology
The parc ferme rules in F1 are an important part of the ritual of a race weekend.
From the moment qualifying starts on Saturday to the moment the cars go to the grid on Sunday, they are in parc ferme conditions, which means that no work or modifications can be done on the cars without FIA [...]
Ferrari tops poll as fans’ favourite
I was interested to see the results of the recent fan survey conducted by FOTA with the support of LG Electronics and F1 Racing.
They are fairly predictable, with Ferrari coming out on top with 30% of the support, well ahead of McLaren on 19% and Mercedes on 10%. 22% of fans said that they [...]
