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,

Ciao, MiniFans! New week, new race weekend and new circuit in the championship. We’ve remained in Italy, but moved slightly south east to visit Mugello, a well-known track for those who like bike racing but a little more of a stranger for car racing fans. It allows for a quick lap time, thanks to its very fast corners, a lot

Ciao, MiniFans! We’ve arrived at the first of the three races in Italian soil this year and we’ve seen ourselves landing in Monza, the circuit we’re the most familiar with. The Temple of Speed, however, is not being very kind to its own kin, even if it would end their suffering rather quickly, with its high average speed and low

Bonjour, MiniDrivers! Race day in Spa Francorchamps has finally come around, an exciting event even without the prospect of rain from half of the race laps onwards. The start is one of the key elements to look out for, as twenty cars speed to the bottleneck that is La Source and the rapid succession of full throttle sections, which sometimes
