By Callum Springall Since 2013, McLaren have been on what is euphemistically described as a slump – in the same way that Blackburn Rovers have experienced a ‘slump’ in recent football years. It all started with some ill-advised design changes between 2012 and 2013, before a disastrous engine switch to Honda appeared to reunite the […]
By Callum Springall Whether you are of the opinion that Monaco is essential to Formula 1 or a processional gimmick that only stays on the calendar for the money, the 2017 edition wasn’t short of intrigue – albeit for the want of overtaking. After a scintillating qualifying session that left the top three within 0.05s, including […]
By Kyle Cumbers The Monaco Grand Prix creates a great debate on The NR F1 Podcast every year, over whether it’s just a gimmick race or a classic grand prix essential to the Formula 1 calendar? Personally, I fall on the side that it is essential to F1 with the history the track provides and […]

It’s not a grower – in fact, it’s horrible!
