Merhaba, MiniFans! After yesterday’s entertaining qualifying, more than one driver was hit with grid penalties, mostly due to infractions during the session and one particular case, Gasly, where the team tried to backtrack an engine change when they saw that the McLarens were knocked down a handful of places each. A wet start was predicted and both Russell and Giovinazzi

Merhaba, MiniFans! Welcome back to Istambul Park, home to the famous turn 8 and to just a handful of unforgettable races. However, the fairy tale dream has so far been in line with the reality that some other old yet loved circuits have shown. The track has been resurfaced in the last month and that, coupled with the extremely hard

Ciao, MiniFans! A third race in one country in the same season is something that has only happened once before in the history of this sport, albeit under very different conditions. Despite being a fan favourite, mostly for sentimental reasons, Imola isn’t the greatest track for overtaking and fighting on track, unless there’s a very noticeable difference in lap times.

Ciao, MiniFans! For the third and last time this season, we’re racing on Italian soil. However, third time’s the charm and we see ourselves in Imola, one of the circuits almost considered as sacred by fans and crews alike. It also provides us with a new experiment, one in which drivers are only given one free practice before battling it

Olá, MiniFans! Portugal welcomed us back with open arms 24 years after the last race here but we landed in Portimão instead of Estoril. Overtaking doesn’t seem like the easiest of feats, with just one very clear corner to get past the car in front, yet that still doesn’t deter us from putting all our faith on Verstappen to try

Olá, MiniFans! We’ve landed in Portugal, more specifically in a track that around half the grid knows, although not well, as most know it from either lower classes, a long time ago or both at the same time. With Red Bull on the uphill, the time has come to see whether they, or rather just Verstappen, are up to steal

Hallo, MiniFans! We’re in Germany, home of Nico Hulkenberg and one of the classic F1 circuits: Nürburgring. With the threat of rain and Verstappen on the horizon, Mercedes wasn’t as comfortable as it usually is, especially with Bottas on pole instead of Hamilton. The lack of free practices added to not having stepped foot on this track since 2013 meant

Hallo, MiniFans! We’ve landed in Nürburgring for the first time since 2013, making it so that less than half the grid has driven an F1 around this circuit before. This might get to be important, because Friday as a whole got called off due to the helicopter not being able to take off, impeded by the heavy rain. Hulkenberg is

Previt, MiniFans! Yesterday, we almost witnessed the demise of Mercedes in qualifying, albeit due to factors mostly outside of their control. Vettel’s crash, which prompted a red flag, added to the lack of a lap by Hamilton, as his was erased because he went off track, made it so that they needed a sprint in the last two minutes left

Privet, MiniFans! We’re in Russia, in one of those circuits that could be described as Mercedes property. In the last six years, they have only failed twice to score a first place in qualifying – both “stolen” by Ferrari drivers – and not once in the race. It is more of their race to lose than others’ race to win,
