The real stories from inside the F1 paddock. Laquo; And so to Monaco…. Seven hours after the chequered flag…. May 22, 2015 by Joe Saward. An entertainment, a profit centre, etc. Once it decides where it is trying to go, then the path will be easier…. Posted in F1 Drivers. On May 22, 2015 at 5:45 am. People are also surprisingly bad at knowing what they want, worst still at putting it into words. As for your discussion with James Allen : F1 has always tried to be a number of things at the same time. In co...

Thoughts on a sad day | joeblogsf1

The real stories from inside the F1 paddock. Laquo; FIA retires number 17. A weekend in Buda and Pest. Thoughts on a sad day. July 21, 2015 by Joe Saward. In the end, there is no point in trying to find reason in all of this, nor even to take comfort from flowery words and phrases. The only value is that we learn from what happened and try to makes sure that it does not happen again. That has happened because of advancing technology and a willingness to learn and do things differently. As you mention mos...

The real stories from inside the F1 paddock. Laquo; The future of Mario Theissen. GM keeps hold of Opel. November 3, 2009 by Joe Saward. My sources in Japan have been saying for some days that Toyota has decided to withdraw from Formula 1 immediately, hence my recent disquiet on the subject, as reported first on Saturday. Multiple sources are now confirming these rumours. That move sent out all the wrong signals in F1 and meant that the team had real troubles recruiting top engineers as it was clear that...

The real stories from inside the F1 paddock. Laquo; A lot of what-ifs. In memory of Sid. The dark side of F1. November 30, 2012 by Joe Saward.

The book is available from www.adamparr.net. Posted in F1 Drivers. On November 30, 2012 at 1:27 pm. Looks interesting, but doesn’t seem to be available yet. On November 30, 2012 at 3:42 pm.

The real stories from inside the F1 paddock. Laquo; Thoughts on a sad day. Sauber re-signs Nasr and Ericsson. A weekend in Buda and Pest. July 23, 2015 by Joe Saward. You know that F1 is not really doing much when the lead F1 story on the news-clopping services is “Tamara Ecclestone puts her cleavage on full display in bikini in Mykonos”. It’s hot here in Budapest, so with a wiggly track perhaps Ferrari will mount a strong challenge to the boys in silver and turquoise…. Posted in F1 Drivers. They will...

The real stories from inside the F1 paddock. I started writing a column called in Autosport in 1988, which some clever soul decided to call Globetrotter, presumably on the basis that I spent less time in the office than they did. I am happy to allow people to air their opinions in comments, as long as this is done in a respectful fashion. A good rule of thumb when writing a comment is to question whether you would say such a thing to someone’s face…. My blog will be used to promote products and events wi...
