This weekend’s race sees more than the usual amount of high-profile departures from the sport - some welcome, and some not so.

The most notable for us here in the UK, is that this will be ITV’s last race covering F1.  While most viewers won’t shed many tears at this news, we do have quite a bit to thank the broadcaster for.

I think I’m destined to fund fault with every F1 magazine I ever read!  I’m not really the type to complain too much, although reading this blog you would be forgiven to think the opposite!

As the new season gets underway this weekend, I decided to splash out on Autosport so I could soak up the info in their F1 Season Preview magazine.  So with all good intentions I have been making my way through it and my break away from reading such magazines meant I was actually learning things and being reminded of things I had forgotten.
