This past Japanese Grand Prix, for those of us who got up early enough, ended up being a fantastic race,

Everyone remembers that epic race in Brazil 2008, where McLaren’s Lewis Hamilton won the Drivers Championship coming in 5th place

Not many people can say they wish they were older. I’m one of the few, but only by ten years or so. Formula 1 has been part of my life forever.

Sorting out face paint and flags and due to the rapid filling of fan parks, pubs, and for the privileged few of us, Soccer City, understandably finding a flat screen to watch the Silverstone Grand Prix was second priority.

I think we can all safely agree that the Melbourne Grand Prix was awash with brilliance (spot the intended pun). Compared to the Bahrain Grand Prix, which was lovely and neat and full of promises, the Aussie GP really did have everything a great race should have.
