Green Notebook from Latour de France

Posted on May 31, 2023 by Joe Saward

No, it isn’t a typo, there really is a place called Latour de France, which I guess is a bit like finding a village called Monacogrand Prix. The village can be found in the Pyrenees-Orientales, inland from Perpignan, and I ended up there on a rather leisurely trip from Monaco to Barcelona. The green notebook … Continue reading Green Notebook from Latour de France →

GULF ASKING FANS

Posted on May 26, 2023 by Joe Saward

A nice piece of fan engagement will see Gulf asking fans to pick a livery for Williams for the races in Singapore, Japan and Qatar later this year. Gulf is offering four different choice and will have a knockout competition in three rounds to decide which will be used. The winning livery will be announced … Continue reading GULF ASKING FANS →

Honda and Aston Martin

Posted on May 24, 2023 by Joe Saward

Formula 1 continues to create bizarre bedfellows, with the news that Honda and Aston Martin are going into a dalliance in 2026... presumably without Fernando Alonso, who has been persona non grata with the Japanese firm since they fell out of love during the McLaren-Honda debacle a few years back. It is a bizarre mismatch … Continue reading Honda and Aston Martin →

Green Notebook from Magny-Cours

Posted on May 23, 2023May 23, 2023 by Joe Saward

The problem with having a Grand Prix cancelled is that one does not get to trawl around the paddock and shoot the breeze with the movers and shakers and, by doing so, pick up the ins and outs of the F1 world, which is what then appears in each Green Notebook. As a result, the … Continue reading Green Notebook from Magny-Cours →

Green Notebook from Hollywood

Posted on May 10, 2023May 10, 2023 by Joe Saward

Given that we will soon be off on a triple-header in Europe, after Baku I went home for 36 hours, planning on a late arrival in Miami. It may not seem much, but any time at home at the moment is precious. This meant a very early start on Thursday, at the kind of hour … Continue reading Green Notebook from Hollywood →

Green Notebook from Havalimanı

Posted on May 2, 2023May 2, 2023 by Joe Saward

Those of you with eagle-eyes will soon notice that the non-capitalised Havalimanı is a very odd word because it ends with an undotted i. In order to be able to use this strange character, I had to go on a glyph-safari to track it down in the typographical jungle, and while on this trek I … Continue reading Green Notebook from Havalimanı →

Mekies to head AlphaTauri

Posted on April 26, 2023 by Joe Saward

Ferrari sporting director Laurent Mekies will be the new Scuderia AlphaTauri team principal, starting next year. It will a return to Faenza for the Frenchman, who spent much of his early career with the team when it was Minardi. The move means that Ferrari will lose another leading player. The team also announced that ex-FIA … Continue reading Mekies to head AlphaTauri →

double dutch?

Posted on April 25, 2023April 25, 2023 by Joe Saward

Introducing a new system of races for a Grand Prix weekend, just a few days before the teams start running, is perhaps not the most sensible kind of planning. Have all the different elements involved been properly thought through? One hopes that is the case. The changes are as follows: The FP1 session will remain unchanged. … Continue reading double dutch? →

Green Notebook from Gaillon

Posted on April 22, 2023April 25, 2023 by Joe Saward

So finally Formula 1 had a real news story with James Allison moving back in to the race team at Mercedes, which they hope will turn around the fortunes in Brackley. I must admit that I was a little surprised as James seemed to be done and dusted with F1, but I guess the challenge … Continue reading Green Notebook from Gaillon →

As usual numbers will be restricted, in order to make sure that everyone can get the chance to ask at least one question, so sign up quickly, as the last two Virtual Audiences (and the recent live Audience in Melbourne) have all sold out. … Continue reading Roll up, roll up.
