Badger’s Stat-Attack 2 – The Race Weekend

In the second part of our look at the sats of the F1 season so far we’re looking at the race weekend- that’s practice, qualifying and the race.

We’ll keep this one quick, because there’s plenty to say about qualifying and the race. How significant are practice results anyway? Not hugely- it’s more about [...]

Badger’s Stat-Attack – Distance Travelled

With no F1 for four weeks everyone at Badger has been suffering from severe withdrawal symptoms. So severe in fact that we’ve spent hours- okay, several days- pouring over stats from every session so far in 2010 to bring to very geeky look at the season so far. Anoraks at the ready, folks.

Get Well Soon, Adrian Newey!

Badger would like to offer a hearty get well soon to Red Bull technical wizard Adrian Newey. The Englishman spent last night in hospital after a nasty shunt in a Ginetta G50 Cup race at Snetterton.

“And they’re off …” The local mayor resplendent in his golden snow tyre chains waved a union jack flag to signal the start of the time trails for the return ‘Motorsport at the Palace’.

Life After Formula One

Cher once asked if you ‘believe in life after love’, a meaningless and irritating lyric that only sticks with us because of the meaningless, irritating nature of the song it called its home. A far better question, dearest Cher, would have been whether there was life after Formula One…
Anyway, the break in the F1 proceedings [...]
