I thought I would put together a little “Ferrari F1″ photo collection for you all to enjoy. I’ve always loved to see how the cars have evolved over the years and how the sport has changed.
Let’s start with the beautiful 1964 Ferrari F1 Car. Not much in the way of wings!

Next We have a nice shot of a 1968 Ferrari F1 car in the rain. I wish they let us get this close to the action these days…

Up next is this huge collection of Ferrari History all neatly arranged on track

Wouldn’t you just love to have all those in your garage.
Next is a pair of Ferrari F1 engines on display to show off the beautiful engineering.

Next up we have a great shot of another Ferrari F1 car in the rain, this time being driven by Kimi

Here is a nice little shot of the Ferrari F1 Paddock as they start to prepare for the weekend ahead.

And finally a look at the amazing complexity of a modern Ferrari F1 Steering wheel.

I hope you enjoyed this little collection. If you did let me know and I’ll put together more of this type of post.

Lewis Hamilton held off Kimi and his Ferrari in the last 12 laps of the Hungarian GP to take his 3rd win of the season. Hamilton increased his points lead over team mate Fernando Alonso to 7 points after Alonso was moved back to 6th on the grid for the pit lane fiasco during the third qualifying session.
Hopefully the two McLaren drivers can put this weekend’s problems behind them and get on with the rest of the season.

It looks like Fernando Alonso has been taking lessons from Michael Schumacher. In a disgusting display of poor sportsmanship it appears that Fernando and his crew deliberately held up Lewis Hamilton to prevent him turning his final fast lap in qualifying.
Ron Dennis appeared livid as he saw this sad event take place, snatching the headphones from Alonso’s pit board man and marching him down pit lane it was clear he was extremely angry.
Lewis Hamilton had been clearly fastest throughout qualifying and it looks like Fernando decided that the only way to get pole was to prevent Lewis from getting his fast lap.
This kind of behaviour reminds me of a certain Ferrari driver of times past and I have personally lost a huge amount of respect for Mr. Alonso after this incident and I applaud Lewis for his typical low key, let the facts speak for themselves attitude during the post quali interviews.
Fernando, I hope you are ashamed of yourself for this pathetic behaviour.

It looks like Kimi has put the Ferrari on the top of the time sheet in the second practice at the Nurburgring. Lewis Hamilton in the McLaren is nipping at his heels though. It looks like we are in for an interesting Quali session tomorrow.

Do you think McLaren can take back the #1 spot at the race this weekend or will the podium be Ferrari red again this weekend?

It looks like the McLaren F1 Car will arrive in Spain with some new Aero tweaks. I haven’t seen an pictures yet but F1 CEO Martin Whitmarsh is saying that they are bringing a winning car to Barcelona.

I doubt the changes will be very obvious at first glance but these days a tenth of a second here or there can make the difference. Combining this with the even stricter rules on the flexy floors that Ferrari and some other teams are running may just be enough to close the gap for the McLaren F1 car.
With three drivers tied for 1st place in the F1 Championship after the first three races it looks like an already close F1 season is destined to become even closer.
Are we going to see Fernando Alonso or Lewis Hamilton on the top podium in Spain? Will these changes be enough to get past Kimi and the Ferrari crew?
