Hamilton robbed in Spain

-
It seems that everybody had a good break during August with many drivers and teams doing different things just to relax and recharge. Everybody had a good time and are now returning to work with renewed enthusiasm except for Lewis perhaps. He was mugged in Spain.

I wonder if he had any bodyguards around (according to the news report he did) and if they were sleeping on the job. I suppose I'll have to think about that if Lewis decides to go holidaying here in Malaysia one day.

FERRARI UNDER PRESSURE AS LEWIS HAMILTON CALLS FOR URGENT CHANGES TO SF-25 STEERING AND SUSPENSION

-

Ferrari’s 2025 Formula 1 campaign has been a rollercoaster ride of potential and frustration. While the legendary Italian team has shown flashes of competitiveness, inconsistency and recurring technical issues have held them back. At the heart of the matter now is the SF-25’s steering and suspension setup, which has drawn criticism from both of its star drivers — Lewis and Charles Leclerc. With the second half of the season fast approaching, Ferrari is scrambling to bring performance upgrades to the SF-25, hoping to salvage race-winning form. But as Lewis strongly warns, the team cannot afford to carry over these limitations into the 2026 car. Steering Complaints Date Back To Early In The Season It turns out Ferrari's steering problems aren't new. Charles Leclerc first raised concerns about the SF-25’s steering feel all the way back at the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix in April. At that time, his complaint was relatively low-key — a passing comment in the post-race cooldown room. Bu...

Hmm, 3 weeks is a long time in F1, no? After waiting 4 months for action, we got 4 races then suddenly all quiet. Seems like 3 weeks is longer than 4 months. Only God knows how I made it through the winter. Anyway, we'll have the start of the European season next week in Barcelona. That should be fireworks as teams will be bringing big updates to their cars there. The order will be jumbled up again, not to mention the changes made by Pirelli to the hard tire. We'll see. In the meantime, who the hell is Dougie? Well that would be Dougie Lampkin. He is the 12 times FIM Trial World Champion. And what the hell is the FIM Trial? Well, it's a motorcycle event. What?? Motorcycle? Blasphemy! Actually not. Since we're all motorsports fans generally and F1 fans specifically, we are allowed to talk about other motorsports besides F1. Any sport that uses a motor falls under motorsports, not just F1 or cars. So what is the FIM trials? According to Wikipedia: Motorcycle tria...
