And that is also why we would like to bring you this – our Best Bits Of 2016 compilation podcast. Or as we’ve decided it should be called, a podpilation. It’s got terrible predictions […]
So you want to get into Formula One for 2017? Great choice! You’ll find the world’s most fascinating, technological, political and deeply involved sport a real treat – but then, you suppose we would say that. What you will definitely need to know as part of your preparation, is what happened in 2016: Who shone, […]
We are now into the second half of the 2016 Formula One season and as you will know, after all the fun and games at the front between the Mercedes drivers, there is only one point between Lewis Hamilton and Nico Rosberg. The momentum is definitely with Lewis after four wins in the last five […]
So as we head to “Schpeilberg” – as Michael calls it – for the Austrian Grand Prix, and the 2016 drivers’ championship battle between the Mercedes pair of Lewis Hamilton and Nico Rosberg is as it was before the Canadian Grand Prix.

So… My bets for Melbourne started well enough. Lewis Hamilton achieved pole position on the Saturday, but unfortunately Nico Hulkenberg couldn’t quite steal sixth place from Romain Grosjean to leave us with a nice profit on the weekend. So based on £5 per bet, it leaves us with a loss of £5 from the opening round […]
