DOUGIE DOES THE BULL

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.

LEWIS HAMILTON’S MIAMI GP: A FRUSTRATING RACE AMID FERRARI’S STRATEGIC MISSTEPS

-

A Challenging Start from P12 The 2025 Miami Grand Prix commenced under the Florida sun, with Max Verstappen leading the pack from pole position. Lewis, starting from P12 after a disappointing qualifying session, faced an uphill battle. Despite a strong showing in the sprint race, where he finished third, Lewis's Ferrari lacked the pace to challenge the frontrunners at the start. The initial laps saw Lewis holding position, unable to capitalize on opportunities due to the car's limitations and the competitive midfield traffic. Strategic Confusion and a P8 Finish As the race unfolded, Lewis found himself behind teammate Charles Leclerc, who was on a different tire strategy. Lewis, on fresher medium tires, believed he had the pace to overtake Leclerc and challenge Mercedes' Kimi Antonelli ahead. However, Ferrari's hesitation in issuing team orders led to mounting frustration. When the order finally came, Lewis sarcastically remarked over the radio, "Have a tea break w...
