I still love Formula 1, however, and have spent some time exploring ways to keep in the game.I have decided to continue my focus on Twitter, drawing attention to interesting stories and expert writing. Each day, the best of what I'm following is compiled into a daily newspaper, bringing...

SpeedRead on hiatus

Due to personal reasons, I am taking a break from this blog. At this point, I am unsure what the future holds for it, but it has been a fun few years, and hopefully, we will have the opportunity to converse again soon. Until then, enjoy what remains of this amazing 2011 F1 season.

Race prep: Belgium (cont.)

"Well, last year is a little bit of a form card. Obviously, the regulations have changed a lot since then, so let's see how that goes. Clearly, McLaren and Ferrari aren't hanging round as well. Qualifying has tightened up a lot in the last few events and so have the races, as we saw. Silverstone would have been a track where you would think we could have been a bit more...

Race prep: Belgium

"After a month out of the cockpit, I think every driver on the grid is really looking forward to racing on a track like Spa-Francorchamps, which is easily one of the greatest circuits in the world. Spa’s always been one of my favourite tracks - it’s a place where you really feel on the limit, and that’s pretty awesome in a Formula One car. I’m already looking forward...

"Hungary will be my 100th Grand Prix which seems crazy when my father completed 114 races over his whole career. It's a nice number but statistics aren't that important to me. I'm looking forward to the weekend in Budapest as I like the Hungaroring very much, and I'm hoping for a better time than in 2010 when unfortunately I didn't finish the race."...

Race prep: Germany

"The lesson to draw from all this experience is never to make predictions when you come to the Nurburgring. The current circuit may be less epic than the original 14-mile layout, and certainly a lot safer, but it can still bite you. And the weather can turn in a matter of moments - you can have all the seasons in one afternoon ... Another thing you can be sure of is that there...

The quotable F1: Mark Webber

"...it (the blown diffuser row) is not new for our team. Adjustable front ride height controllers, front wings, whatever. Every year we have a new thing to talk about. This last few weeks it has been about this. Let's hope everyone can find a common ground. It is incredibly boring also for the fans. I think they cannot understand 0.1 per cent of what's going on.
