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 was
James Hunt, the most flamboyant character the Formula One ever had. The world champion of 1976 withdrew from the paddock during the 1979 season when he was the driver for Walter Wolf’s racing team. After his career in the Formula One Hunt became f1 commentator next to Murray Walker for the BBC. Though, the eventual comeback in the Formula One kept appearing on his path. 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
Oké ik ben klaarblijkelijk een van de weinige die geen voorstander van een Nederlandse Grand Prix, omdat ik het vertrouwen mis dat de Grand Prix na drie jaar nog steeds goed bezocht zal worden door de Nederlandse race Fans. Nu kwam dus het nieuws naar buiten dat de gemeente Zandvoort 4 miljoen zou willen vrij maken om te investeren in de infrastructuur, dat is fijn maar doe het niet alleen
Eind 2017 werd de Formule RP1 Benelux series aangekondigd in Nederland en België. De Formule RP1 zou een betaalbare eenheidsklasse moeten zijn waarbij elke coureur de beschikking had over dezelfde wagen, en elke race verwisselde van team/race engineer om zo iedereen gelijke kansen te laten behouden. In 2018 zou de klasse haar debuut maken op het circuit, echter werden de pijlen al snel op 2019 gericht, maar waar is de
Spring is coming , Albert Park is almost an circuit again, and the teams are ready for the start of the season as do the fans. However, is Williams ready for 2019? I’m not convinced Williams will appear on the start grid in Melbourne as the competitive team it used to be. I believe the team is far from ready for the new season. I have never been a fan
