Konnichiwa, MiniFans! A very sunny day welcomed us to Suzuka, as did the very real possibility of Verstappen returning to his old hunting grounds after one race of weakness by Red Bull. Saturday was already a show of how they’re back to full strength and it only remained to see whether the pace seen in the free practices would translate

Konnichiwa, MiniFans! It’s back to reality this weekend, as Red Bull has seemingly reclaimed the top spot that they’ve been hogging the whole season during the three free practices. The quest to redeem themselves started on early on the weekend, even almost showing off with the new prototypes for next year’s tyres while everyone else was busy figuring out their

Hai, MiniFans! The day kicked off with the news of Stroll not taking part in the race after his crash on Saturday. The key points of interest, however, were somewhere else: Red Bull hadn’t even made it to Q3 and didn’t quite look as if they’d be able to even make it to podium positions, and Ferrari seemingly placing themselves

Hai, MiniFans! A ray of hope seemed to shine on the horizon before the qualifying session kicked off, as Red Bull appeared not to be up to speed in the streets of Singapore. However, they’re not the kind of team to write off simply because the free practice didn’t goo according to plan, and they would fight against the problems

Ciao, MiniFans! It’s race day in Monza, where the tifosi have already been witnesses to a Ferrari pole position. The Temple of Speed has seen five different winners in the last five years, something that gives them hope, as it was Verstappen who was victorious last season. Will the tifosi be able to celebrate? Or will they leave with a

Ciao, MiniFans! We’re in Monza, our Temple of Speed, a track that has seen a handful of different drivers being victorious in the past five years, including newcomers and underdogs. Adding to this small detail, it was decided that it would be the second circuit to host a trial run of a possible future qualifying format, which will use hards

Hallo, MiniFans! The morning started out with a bit of rain and clouds covering the circuit, but the sun soon broke through. However, the weather radars still showed small showers around the track, which could come at any time, adding a bit of spice to the strategies concocted by the teams. Almost everyone chose softs to start, in part due

Hallo, MiniFans! We’re back from the summer break with a bit of a shock, as the rain and cold have come down on Zandvoort, contrasting the heatwaves that have recently been suffocating Europe. However, this wasn’t the only surprise. A second one came from Daniel Ricciardo, who broke his hand in an attempt not to crash into Piastri and instead

Bonjour, MiniFans! For the first time during the weekend, no imminent rain was clearly on the horizon for the day, so decisions as to what slick tyre to use needed to be taken. With a front row that wasn’t home to Verstappen for the first time in a long time, it was necessary to go down to sixth place on

Bonjour, MiniFans! We have a new sprint weekend upon us, this time in Spa Francorchamps. In the sprint shootout, the qualifying session for the sprint race, Verstappen was yet again on pole, but followed extremely closely by Piastri and Sainz, a top three separated by only 25 thousandths on a quickly drying track that rewarded those who managed to score
