  • F1: French Grand Prix as it happened

    We missed doing our usual live blog this week (much to our disgust) so here instead is a lap-by-lap breakdown of how the French Grand Prix developed – dodgy overtaking, flapping exhaust pipes, super-wide Toyotas and all.

  • F1: French Grand Prix report and reaction

    A win’s a win and they all count at the end of the season – but Felipe Massa knows very well that his victory in France and his lead in the championship came not through driving dominance but through his team-mate’s mechanical misfortunes.

  • F1: Disappointed Hamilton makes best of French qualifying

    Lewis Hamilton will start the French Grand Prix from 13th place – the best position available in the face of Ferrari domination and the 10-place penalty imposed for his Canada pitlane error, but still a disappointment to him.

  • F1: French Grand Prix preview

    Everything points to the French Grand Prix being Ferrari’s race this weekend. Kimi Raikkonen must make an impression on the drivers’ championship soon if he intends to keep his world title, and the blazing form shown by team-mate Felipe Massa is giving him a proper run for his money.
