Haha! When in doubt it’s always best to side with Fernando!

Well done to George, well done to McLaren and well done to me for actually getting this done! 😅 The Singapore grand prix in one picture…

It might have been fast but there was still time for drama… the Italian grand prix summarised in one picture!

Can’t really see what’s happening at all but it’s exciting! #WEC

This has become too confusing. What should we do? Red flag 😅

WEC is so chaotic that all they’ve done is drive behind the Safety Car for half an hour yet there’s still been drama, spins and broken cars

Just lots of rain 😅

Drawing an F1 picture while watching WEC is definitely not going to result in all the car numbers being mixed up…

Thanks! Need to remember to actually post here sometimes 😂 We can always rely on Alonso for radio gold!

Feels like some of the drivers will definitely be ready for a summer holiday after all that! Here’s the Hungarian Grand Prix summarised in one picture…

Winning F2 at Spa requires a combination of science, engineering and conducting the right type of ritual offering to the Spa racing gods, just make sure it’s officially FIA sanctioned or you might get disqualified…

F2 Belgium: In the hands of the Spa racing gods

Mastering F2 in Belgium requires a meteorology degree and a substantial offering to the Spa racing gods, plus superb driving skills.

Need a timeline cleanse from all the F1 drama? Here’s some F2 (jk F2 at Silverstone was also dramatic)! It’s all here: Browning’s wet-weather masterclass, drivers as ducks and/or puppies and a drawing of a big clock. What more could you want?

F2 Great Britain: Defying expectations

F2 arrived in Great Britain, to a track that you know will deliver great racing yet somehow still always manages to produce something unexpected. Also finally a track that John Bennett has actually dr...

Haven’t done one of these in a little while, it felt like the time. 💚💚💚

Britain (an ode to Hülkenberg)
Another rainy Silverstone day.
Race start 239. 19th place.
Expectations low. Chaos high.
Early pit stops, crashes, spins.
The path starts to clear.
Is it possible? It might be possible!
Battling Stroll. Corner after corner.
Overtake! The podium in sight!
But Hamilton is coming!!
Stress. Stress. Stress.
Chequered flag! Third place!
The trophy in his hands!
It’s lego.

Well done Nico!

As if we needed the reminder 😅

I can’t watch like 20 more laps of Hulkenberg being in a podium position on a wet track with Hamilton chasing him down…

(Just about got this done in time 😅) Get ready for the British grand prix by looking back at what happened in Austria. Perfect for those who missed the last race, have a terrible memory or if you just loved Lando winning so much you want to relive it!

It’s F2 in Austria this weekend, which means only one thing - it’s time to try to remember what happened in the last round in Spain! (I couldn’t remember either, so here’s a random summary and a picture of Dunne continuing his torment of Martins…)

How was the Canadian grand prix for you? Celebrations or “let’s never speak of this again”?

Just a little advanced warning that my Canada F1 picture will be very late because I only have one focus this week. LET’S GO!!!
