Is Red Bull Racing the new Benetton is perhaps an misleading title, as Benetton operated in an era were many technological advantages were made, were sometimes more than 20 teams tried to attempt for an Grand Prix, and when Formula one cars were still beautiful.

In a small street in the city of Haarlem is a store located that seemed to be stuck in the past. When you enter the store it feels like entering an time capsule. It’s the type of store every gamer loves to know, and loves to visit once in a while to discover the holy grail, to expand your collection, in one of the boxes located in the shop. Welcome
De kogel is door de kerk waarschijnlijk in Mei 2020 zal de XXXV Grote prijs van Nederland verreden worden op het circuit van Zandvoort. Het circuit dat ooit het leven redde van joden in de tweede wereldoorlog, en al verscheidende Grand Prix heeft gehost. Het circuit waar Piers Courage het leven liet in 1970. Het circuit waar zowel Jos als Max de Marlboro masters wisten te winnen. Welkom terug Zandvoort!
At the end of the 80’s Tyrrell was not the top team as it once was, though still the team managed to score points and podiums. At the end of 1989, it seemed that 1990 would be the birth of the new Tyrrell team with lots of opportunities, chances and more over a title sponsor, in Rothmans, willing to invest in the team and the Formula One.

Sadly, it never happened. In
The day after Roland Ratzenberger died during a crash with his Simtek, the circus prepared themselves to start the Grand Prix of San Marino at Imola. It was a sunny Sunday, and it seemed everyone was ready to race hoping no more accident would happen. Sadly it would become worse, during the start Lehto stalled his Benetton and Pedro Lamy in his Lotus hit the back of Letho’s car. It
Imola 1994, the San Marino Grand Prix, held in the weekend of 30th April would change the Formula One completely. There is only one word needed to describe this Grand Prix weekend… horrible! What happened in 1994 was something never seen in modern Formula One. In 1982 the last fatality happened with the dead of Riccardo Paletti in the Osella, just a few weeks after Gilles Villeneuve sadly died. Imola
Is there a way to define the meaning of a Formula One fan? This question is wandering around in my mind for years, and every now and then, it appears back. Unable to answer this question myself i dedicate this blog about it. Because I believe there are some issues with people who call them selves “fans” and people who call themselves “fans” as well. Am I myself a Formula
Colin Chapman impressed the Formula one in many ways. With Team Lotus he debuted in 1958 with the Lotus 12 and the Lotus 16. During the 1960s, Lotus was one of the most innovating teams in the Formula One, compared to Scuderia Ferrari it was astronomic. And with star driver Jim Clark the team won several titles. What many don’t know is the several flirts Team Lotus had with the
