By Callum Springall A few years ago, it was races like the Azerbaijan Grand Prix that made me feel sorry for those that had to write about them afterwards. So, bear with me! Straight off the bat, we’ll start with Red Bull – and I didn’t think I’d be saying that this season! It was […]
Sweet lord, what have we just witnessed?! One of the grand prix greats is the answer. The pod had questioned the Baku circuit before this year’s race. They question it no more. The same can be said of F1’s Walking Weapon too, as Lance Stroll took his Formula 1 reputation to a whole new level […]
By Callum Springall 1: The return of the technological war Waking up on Friday morning, it felt like a return to a seemingly bygone era where the leading teams would conjure up all manner of technical developments, bordering on illegality. The news during the Sky’s coverage of FP1 concerned an engine trick used by Mercedes, in […]
By Kyle Cumbers So we move on to round eight of the 2017 Formula 1 season and a trip back to Baku. Last year’s European Grand Prix, held in the Azerbaijani capital, was not the greatest but we shouldn’t judge a new track from one race. It didn’t help that Lewis Hamilton hit the wall […]

By Kyle Cumbers We have been very lucky with the start of the season we’ve seen so far and the excitement is building for the battle ahead at the front between Ferrari and Mercedes. Although it is still very early in the 2017 season, Valtteri Bottas and Kimi Raikkonen need a result soon to postpone […]
There are no punches pulled by Kyle Cumbers on the latest NR F1 Podcast, as he gets stuck into Fernando Alonso’s decision to take on Indy 500 and miss out on Formula 1’s trip to Monaco. Just don’t fall under the impression that McLaren and Jenson Butter avoid his scorn too. Edition 156 of The […]
By Callum Springall Despite qualifying more than four tenths down on Mercedes, it was Sebastian Vettel and Ferrari who took home what is surely the best looking trophy of the year… all right, second best. Might as well cut the British GP trophy some slack! The reasons for this are wide-ranging, as the actions of […]
By Callum Springall After an anti-climactic yet equally refreshing opening in Melbourne, Formula 1’s V6 hybrids roared – or farted if you’re a member of the Will Buxton school of thought – into life in China. Despite a slow start and something to do with a hospital, Saturday gave rise to a fine battle between […]
