French Grand Prix

Circuit Paul Ricard

It’s been a long time since we were heading to France for a GP. To be honest I’m not sure what to expect from the set up from a race point of view. We have tested in Paul Ricard many times over the years but obviously never raced there. It will be interesting to see …

Canadian Grand Prix

The track is on an island previously used to host the Olympics of 1978

I would put Montreal in my top five races of the year! The city has a great vibe, loves F1, in part because of the history of Gilles Villeneuve and because of his son Jacque (who won the World Championship in the same year I started work in F1) The final race of the 1997 …

Monaco Grand Prix

Baku Grand Prix

How an f1 car travelling at speed is going to make it through some of the gaps? (and quite often as we saw last year they don’t)

Chinese Grand Prix

Shanghai

In China we have to use a local driver. Ours is Stone (I keep calling him rock by mistake 🙄 but either doesn’t notice or doesn’t mind) Not sure who’s head the light is shining off the most! Find out more about our trip to the Chinese Grand Prix…
