Site Update, New Shortie Video Posted - Motoring-Malaysia's 'Office' At The Sepang Circuit

It's December 2017, and every time December rolls by I usually take a break in terms of pounding out articles, work or any sort of thing that needs me to use intensive labour or use my brains a bit more than usual. If you've been following my stuff over the years you would know that I value Quality of Life above anything else. So, after nearly eleven months of doing stuff, I take a few days to chill and relax a little. The video above was uploaded today and shows off Motoring-Malaysia's 'office' at the Sepang Circuit.

MOTORSPORTS: RENAULT ANNOUNCES RETURN TO FORMULA 1 IN 2016

And suddenly....Renault have decided to return to Formula 1 in 2016. This is always the case with manufacturers and F1. It is like a love-hate relationship. Maybe it is the accountants that somehow convinces the CEO or the Board that they are spending too much money. Then suddenly the CEO or the Board says that the brand has not enough exposure or that F1 gives good publicity. 

So the saga continues...Renault. Formula 1. 2016.

Formula 1 tests 18 inch wheel and tyre combo - Bye Bye 13 inch balloons?

When I was avidly following Formula 1 (F1) in the early 2000s I always wondered why the heck they keep using 13inch wheels with balloon-like tyres especially when road tyre technology has evolved into rubber band thin tyres running at least 18 inches those days (these days cars run even larger sizes). Then we also had the DTM and BTCC which ran 18 inch wheels and tyres. Also slimmer than the donuts used in F1. But now, F1 together with official tyre supplier Pirelli has decided to test the use of 18inch wheels on the cars. If all goes well, we may soon see F1 cars having more realistic looking rubber bands instead of the donuts used nowadays.

We Have A New Formula 1 Driver's Champion

Sebastian Vettel. F1 World Chmpion. Who would have thought that would happen. After quite an impressive start and a lot of mistakes (like some shunts and funny overtaking moves) mid-season this junior driver seems to have gotten the best of double world champion Alonso who started this race 15points ahead of Vettel.

And that's all there is to know about this year's driver's championship.
