Apologies for not doing a Japanese Grand Prix Review until now. And unfortunately this time it won’t be a video review either. I’ve been really sick with the flu (hopefully not swine flu! ) but it’ll be back to business as normal for the Brazilian Grand [...]

Singapore Track – Love the F1 cars under lights!
Lewis Hamilton – Dominated the race. Doubt Vettel could have touched him even without the problems.
Timo Glock – Such a shock. On minute Toyota are at the back of the [...]
We’ve been promising it for a while, but we’ve finally updated the look of the web site. Sure, it’s based on a free theme, but it looks a hell of a lot better than the last one and hopefully you all find it nice and clean and easy on the [...]
After ruining Taylor Swift’s moment at the Video Music Awards, Kanye West gave his thoughts on the whole Renault situation including Nelson Piquet Jr and Flavio Briatore…
Ok folks, something different this time around. Today we’re going to try a video review to complement the text. Let me know what you think. It might be a one-off or it might turn into a regular thing. Just thought we should mix it up a bit and try to [...]
Our friends at Williams F1 and Philips were generous enough to let a member of Fun F1 visit their factory recently. More on that later, but for now make sure you visit this Philips / AT&T Williams F1 site and register for your chance to drive a Williams F1 [...]
Who would have thought the Belgian GP would have so many surprises. It all started with a crazy qualifying. You would have thought the fuel loads would explain a lot of the grid positions but the race turned out to be a big surprise too.
Giancarlo Fisichella – Without a doubt [...]
It’s great that Ferrari decided to repay Luca Badoer’s years of service as a test driver by giving him the chance to replace the injured Felipe Massa in the Spanish Grand Prix and at Spa….. BUT, his performance was so bad it’s just embarrassing.
In my mind the only smart thing [...]
Let’s face it, the 2009 Spanish Grand Prix from Valencia was really boring. Unless you find pit-stop mistakes exciting there really wasn’t any good racing to get excited about.
Rubens Barrichello – Great to see Rubens win. He actually did a damn good job to keep in touch with Hamilton even [...]
Could the suspension of Renault for the next round of the championship pave the way for Fernando Alonso to take to the grid in Felipe Massa’s Ferrari for his home grand prix? Suspending the whole team seems a little harsh, so maybe it’s a ploy to guarantee what would [...]
While the Hungarian race was very interesting, I can’t help but think about Felipe Massa and his freak accident on Saturday. The way he was struck in the head by the spring was sickening and I really thought the worst when seeing the replay. Thankfully he seems to be stable, [...]
A massive congratulations to Mark Webber on winning the German Grand Prix. By doing so, he’s the first Australian to win a Formula One race in 28 years (last Aussie winner was Alan Jones in 1981).
Not only did Mark win, but he completely dominated the race. That’s a huge achievement [...]
I know everything doesn’t have to be symmetrical on a car, but during the British Grand Prix I noticed how completely different the 2 sides of McLaren’s exhaust were.
Now there’s nothing wrong with trying new things and setting up a car [...]
Mark Webber demonstrated what the HANS (Head And Neck Support) device is useful for during the British Grand Prix weekend…
[...]Isn’t it amazing - Jenson Button has been unstoppable this season yet come his home Grand Prix and that dominance goes out the window. It’s the complete reverse of what I like to call the “Spanish motobike rider syndrome” - which is a phenomenon you see in MotoGP and other [...]
Another race another Button win. That’s all I have to say…
Just kidding But really, Jenson Button’s dominance made this race rather boring. Thankfully Rubens Barrichello managed to balls up a few things again to prevent another Brawn 1-2. Not that I have anything against Brawn GP [...]
Well Jenson’s done it again. His record of wins this season is amazing. With the super soft tyres being a lot less durable in Moncao, Jenson’s smooth style put him in a league of his own.
Jenson Button - The guy is a bit boring to watch on track, but boy [...]
In most races this year I’ve bagged the performance of Rubens Barrichello in comparison to his teammate. However in Spain Rubens drove a fantastic race. I just can’t understand how he finished second. Up until Brawn changed Button from a 3 stop strategy to a 2 stop one, Rubens had [...]
In Bahrain Brawn GP certainly did a good job in making our prediction that Brawn won’t be a championship contender seem very wrong I’ll still stick by the call that they won’t be the no.1 team to beat in the 2nd half of the season [...]
One thing is clear from the Chinese GP - as soon as the “top” teams sort out their new diffusers completely, Brawn GP won’t be a championship contender. It’s a big call I know, but to see how quick some of the teams were with their new diffuser designs straight [...]
I have mixed feelings about the Malaysian Grand Prix. It started off great and was building up to be fantastic with people running different strategies. The rain came, the excitement stayed high, yet the finish was a bit of an anti-climax.
Jenson Button - Did a great job to hold everything [...]
Yes, we’re back for 2009! But unlike Brawn GP, we didn’t manage to have our challenger (new web site) ready for the first round of the championship!
Thankfully Brawn GP got their act together and did an absolutely amazing job to not only make it to [...]
Just wanted to wish all our readers a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year
We look forward to seeing you in 2009 with a brand new-look web site (and new social features)!
All the best,
FF1
[...]What an AMAZING race!
On most race weekends 5th place would be a walk in the park for Lewis Hamilton but somehow in Brazil we were treated to every twist, turn and drama possible! I find it amazing that the World Championship so often comes down [...]
I have to commend Channel Ten Australia for showing most of the grand prix this year live on their HD channel. For those overseas readers, in Australia most “high definition” (HD) digital TV channels here are just a mirror of our “standard definition” (SD) channels.
As of this year Channel Ten [...]
Ferrari in pole position - photo by Brenton Edwards
Ok, so we got a lot of flak the last time we reported on a young guy crashing a Ferrari in Australia. This time however we didn’t even have to try to mix some [...]
By dominating the Chinese Grand Prix, Lewis Hamilton has almost guaranteed his first Formula One World Championship. You have to give it to the guy - every week he’s up there - and when it all falls into place he’s devastatingly quick - which is exactly what we saw in [...]
Wow… I wonder what the odds of Fernando Alonso winning 2 Grand Prix this year were…
Apart from Alonso putting in another great drive to back up his Singapore Grand Prix win, one thing was clear in Japan - both Felipe Massa and Lewis Hamilton [...]
Another wet race, another exciting couple of hours! :)Â The fact that Lewis Hamilton and/or his McLaren team messed up qualifying helped keep things spicy in the race. But what about Sebastian Vettel? What a magnificent win for him and the team with “Minardi DNA”… such a turn around from [...]
Should Lewis Hamilton have been penalised at Spa Francorchamps? That’s the question on everyone’s lips…
My first impression was his fight with Kimi Raikkonen was fair. After cutting the chicane, Lewis let Kimi back into the lead. That’s the normal procedure. Nothing wrong there. From the outside, it looks like a [...]
Valencia Circuit - One word - gorgeous!
European Grand Prix - One word - boring!
Despite being a rather boring race it was great to see a different track. Not only that, it was a rather beautiful track. Love the fact the cars had [...]
I can’t imagine what Felipe Massa is feeling right now. After some dodgy drives this year he put together a stunning and perfect performance on Sunday - and all for nothing. Well, almost for nothing…
Felipe Massa - He may not have finished first, but he definitely won on Sunday. Felipe [...]
Is this the reason for Kimi’s poor form in Germany?
Poor Kimi.. he’s had a rough few weeks with pushing over photographers and now this… Admittedly it looks like it’s the woman who made contact with the girl as she got excited for an autograph from Kimi, but still, not [...]
I know it’s still early in the season, but it might be a good time to put that bet on Lewis Hamilton for the championship. McLaren are clearly faster than Ferrari now and the fact that Kimi’s driving is leaving a lot to be desired doesn’t help the cause at [...]
Edit: Seems YouTube has taken down the original video, so we had to link to a video with commentary from, erm… Borat…
I didn’t realise until after the race, but before the British Grand Prix on Sunday Kimi Raikkonen pushed the well renowned photographer Paul-Henri Cahier [...]
Thanks to terrible strategy from Ferrari and Felipe Massa and Robert Kubica going AWOL, Lewis Hamilton absolutely obliterated the field during his home Grand Prix. After the first round of pit stops the only person that could have stopped Lewis was Lewis himself.
Lewis Hamilton - Very impressed with how he [...]
The French Grand Prix proved to be yet another exciting race. This was mainly due to Lewis Hamilton pushing too hard yet again, but there were some other interesting points…
Felipe Massa - Thought I’d put Felipe first to get the boring part out of the way. Felipe’s drive was clearly [...]
It seems not a year goes by where there isn’t an issue with the red light at the end of the pit lane during the Canadian Grand Prix. As a result, we’ve got a very interesting Formula One World Championship now…
Robert Kubica - A well [...]
It’s been such a hectic week that I haven’t even had time to watch the race let alone do a review on the Grand Prix of Monaco, so this time I’m throwing it out to the fans - what were your thoughts about the race and the drivers/teams? Don’t be [...]
