Ferrari's Lewis Hamilton gestures to supporters before the 2025 Emilia Romagna Formula One Grand Prix at the Imola autodrome.PHOTO: AFPThe tifosi, the super-enthusiastic followers of Ferrari’s racing fortunes, always crave solid results. But never more so than when their beloved red cars race on home ground. Thus the Emilia-Romagna GP at Imola is second only to the Italian GP at Monza in their hearts. And like most intense fans, they don’t take well to failure.

A bad weekend for Red Bull but a great one for the fans

1 month ago | straitstimes.com | David Tremayne

The Miami Grand Prix is an odd one. It’s one of those all-singing, all-dancing, slightly schizophrenic events that doesn’t quite know whether it’s a motor race or a music festival. That’s great if you’re a paying punter there for the noise of cars or the bray of jiggling singers of horribly repetitive lyrics backed by horribly repetitive chords. Not so great if you are there as a hack to report something and to do so preferably without a thumping beat echoing endlessly in your head.
Oscar Piastri, Lando Norris and Max Verstappen show their true colours at Saudi Arabian GP

Oscar Piastri’s triumph at the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix, his third success in 2025, not only lifted an Australian to the top of the drivers’ standings for the first time since his manager Mark Webber back in 2010, but it also made his McLaren team the only one ever to score victories at 50 different venues. But might we look back at the end of the year and see that this was also the race where the three title contenders inadvertently (or deliberately) revealed their true colours?
A fast car, two very fast drivers can be a double-edged sword for McLaren

Four races into the 24-event calendar, McLaren have won three, two with Oscar Piastri (left) and one with Lando Norris (right).PHOTO: AFPBe careful what you wish for – that is always very sound advice. McLaren wanted the best car, and two very fast drivers to do it justice. And now they have that. But when you finally bring together all the disparate factors that lead to domination, it comes with a price. Few blessings come without strings attached.

No thriller at Suzuka, but stopwatches tell a different story

2 months ago | straitstimes.com | David Tremayne

Had they but known, the International Automobile Federation (FIA) could have saved the 10 teams a few hundred miles of power unit life and Pirelli 20 sets of tyres, plus lots of human time and energy, by handing out the trophies for the Japanese GP after qualifying on Saturday afternoon instead of running the race.
McLaren dominates F1 world championship race, while Ferrari sees red

2 months ago | straitstimes.com | David Tremayne

This was a weekend that began with red and ended with red, albeit of an altogether different shade, but it was the orange in between that painted the most vivid portrait of the 2025 Formula One world championship race thus far.
Will McLaren unleash silent assassin Oscar Piastri after thrilling F1 season opener?

2 months ago | straitstimes.com | David Tremayne

We call Oscar Piastri the silent assassin, because his youthful looks and shy smile belie the inner steel and sheer determination of the soon-to-be 24 year-old as he goes into his third year in Formula One intent on becoming the third Australian world champion after the great Jack Brabham and Alan Jones. After the Australian Grand Prix on Match 16, which he so badly wanted to win, he was not smiling.
