2009 Italian GP Qualifying

I’m hoping for a 1988 repeat. Fast McLarens get stupid. Ferrari 1-2. In honor of the fallen. In 1988, it was the death of Enzo Ferrari. In 2009, we have a similar situation.

2009 European Grand Prix

First thing’s first: McLaren is an embarassment from the top down.

Heikki Kovalainen’s seat is gone. Team tell him to raise his game. He nearly got pole, but made a mistake. Started on front row. Finished fourth. Gone. Robert Kubica, a man looking to be in a desperate situation, will be more appreciative of that competitive [...]
