F1 2017 Season

The 2017 F1 season returns from summer break for this weekend’s Belgian Grand Prix in a familiar way. That is to say even in the sport’s absence the pecking order continues unabated.

Motorsport fans had plenty to work with this past weekend. As we head into the later summer months we’re going to break down the racing action from Formula One, Blancpain and the Pirelli World Challenge. So without further ado, let’s get to it.

Open wheelers were the name of the game this past weekend. This week we’ll be covering the screaming Formula 1 cars of today, to the hums of the Formula E cars of tomorrow.

The British Grand Prix usually throws up a few surprises and in 2017, in a tantalizing title battle, the historic event delivered once more. It was a British Grand Prix to remember, whether you’re a fan of Lewis Hamilton or Sebastian Vettel.

While the future of the British Grand Prix remains uncertain, this weekends qualifying provided a surprise at the hallowed grounds of Silverstone. Lewis Hamilton drove to an impressive pole position in today’s Qualifying for the British Grand Prix.

Introducing our new Weekly Motorsport Round-Up. A regular fixture, the WMR looks to break down the last week’s on-track escapades — helpful for those who don’t have the means to catch them live. Let’s jump into it!

After the unpredictability of Azerbaijan a fortnight ago, Austria put on a more mainstream affair as the likely suspects came out on top. The Red Bull Ring was not without its own surprises during the race, however.

As if the events at Baku two weeks ago weren’t enough, this weekend’s qualifying starts off on a similar note. Lewis Hamilton starts eighth, while Sebastian Vettel sits behind Mercedes’ Valterri Bottas.

Heading into this Formula One weekend, the main narrative was tire trouble, with a continuous lack of grip around the streets of Baku. For today’s Grand Prix, that narrative took a nosedive in exchange for chaos.

The main talking point of this weekend has been the continuous lack of grip around the streets of Baku. Almost all the drivers had an off-track excursion, either in the practice sessions or in qualifying. To put it simply — all one has to do is get round the track as quickly as possible without crashing. Easier said than done.

Canada once again threw up an enthralling F1 race, with the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve proving a worthy home.

The 2017 season is quickly establishing a reputation for breaking prior track records. This weekend proved no different, following an exciting qualifying session at Circuit Gilles-Villeneuve in Canada.

The most prestigious race of the Formula One calendar was won by Sebastian Vettel, as his team mate and pole sitter Kimi Raikkonen lost out on strategy. But were there some secret team orders at play from Ferrari?

If you took notice of the Practice sessions on Thursday and Saturday, the results of the Monaco F1 qualifying session were almost a foregone conclusion. Almost because most would’ve predicted Sebastian Vettel to take the spoils. However, it was his team mate Kimi Raikkonen who stole the precious pole in the principality.

In a race we’ll remember for a long time, Lewis Hamilton capped off a stellar weekend with a thunderous win in the Pirelli Spanish Grand Prix. The fisticuffs were out as the battle raged on in a spectacular Spanish showdown.

Lewis Hamilton starts on pole for the 64th time in his Formula One career tomorrow as he edged out championship leader Sebastian Vettel in qualifying earlier today.

If you were to suggest that the regulation changes for Formula One this year have been a step backwards for the prospect of wheel-to-wheel action, it’s not likely you’ll hear too many dissenting voices — and the chances are that’ll be because everyone’s still asleep after today’s race.

An unwanted record stretching back for nine years has fallen following an enthralling qualifying session for the Russian Grand Prix in Sochi.

Lewis Hamilton controlled from the front as he took the checkered flag at the 2017 Formula 1 Heineken Chinese Grand Prix on an afternoon of mixed conditions and mixed fortunes. Hamilton and his Mercedes team are back to winning ways after converting yesterday’s pole position into a convincing win to set up what looks to be a titanic battle between themselves and Ferrari for the 2017 titles.

Fans tuning into the qualifying for the second round of the 2017 Formula One season may have had a sense of deja vu earlier today, as a familiar pecking order began to shake out at China’s Shanghai International Circuit.
