So here we are, the final race of the season, and we have a three way fight for the Drivers World Championship. Lando Norris is in "pole position", with a twelve point lead over Max Verstappen. Max, in turn, has a four point lead over Oscar Piastri. Now is your chance to ruminate, cogitate, and speculate, about what the result might be, and what the outcome of the Championship will be. You might also take the opportunity to speculate over who might affect whom during the race, such as the...

After the excitement created in the scrutineers office at the Las Vegas race the F1 circus jets off to Qatar. This will be the third race in the country, with Lewis winning first time out in 2021, and Max winning both of the last two races. 2022 didn't take place.
I could ramble on about the excitement at the top of the drivers championship, how Max nad Red Bull have take the title race to Mclaren and their drivers, but you all know that. So I'm going to give you some facts about Qatar...
This weekend sees the third event to take place on the Las Vegas strip circuit. This intro will be short as I can barely contain my contempt for what Las Vegas is, the way the event dumbs down the sport to a level I barely thought possible, and because it will be taking place in the middle of the bloody night because closing the roads at any times interferes with the primary reason Las Vegas exists, to cheat people out of their hard earned cash in the casinos.
What a joke F1 has become...
I did promise that I wouldn't use an AI engine to write any more of these Grand Prix discussion threads, but Gemini AI has done a pretty good (if impersonal) job. Move over DSJ!

Rather than guff on about the problems (?) at McLaren, Verstappen's sudden dash for the title, or the moderate resurgence of Ferrari, in the USA at least, let's talk altitude.
Mexico city is at an altitude of 2,240 metres, or 7,350ft in old money. During the F1 weekend we will hear lots of talk about the "thin air", and engines not being able to "breathe" in the same way. But what actually is the problem? The air we breathe is made up of different gases. Roughly 78% is nitrogen, 21% is...
This weekend we’re in Austin at the Circuit of the Americas, incredibly, it’s already 13 years since we first raced there. It’s a brilliant track; for me, easily the best circuit in America, & it’s now the 2nd longest serving U.S. venue F1’s raced on
With 6 rounds to go, we start the American leg of the championship, over the next 5 weeks we’ll visit Austin, Mexico City, São Paulo, & Las Vegas. This weekend is a sprint, the end-of-season run alternates nicely: US Sprint, Mexico Normal...
The Singapore Grand Prix is this weekend, the race that began everything & as they market themselves the original night race. The numbers behind the floodlit race underline just how complex an event it is to put on. 108,423m of power cables, 240 steel pylons & around 1,600 light projectors with a total power requirement of 3,180,000 watts are used to light the track for the drivers. The effect is that the track is lighter than at midday on a sunny day & 4 times brighter than a football...
Last time out treated you to the thoughts of ChatGPT. This time, as I'm quite busy with work, I've decide to ask MS CoPilot to write the preview. I promise this is the last effort with AI as it's a bit soulless.

So we’re back after the summer break, & at Zandvoort, which i’d thought was in its final year of contract, but that actually comes next season in 2026
funnily enough, i’m on holiday at the seaside on britain’s east coast right now, & wondered how long it would take if i hopped on a ferry straight over to the dutch seaside town of zandvoort. turns out the 158 miles would take 7–9 hours, which i massively underestimated, not quite the quick trip i imagined LOL .
now, onto the serious stuff...
