The Formula One “circus” reached the city of Singapore to witness the city stage its very first F1 race which also happens to be the first ever night race in F1′s history. Yes you read that right, it was a night race as in all cars went round in circles under flood lights. The entire track was illuminated to such an extent that it almost felt like daytime. The tarmac was smooth and the background was delicious, none of the teams knew what to expect.

The Italian Grand Prix 2008 took place only a week after the Spa race. Ferrari took heart from the fact that Massa was declared the eventual winner of the Belgian Grand Prix while McLaren weren’t too happy after Lewis was stripped of a victory. Whether or not Lewis tried to push the limits of the rulebook will be debated for days to come. That’s his style and the aggression which some fans love while others love to hate. However, he was all set to conquer Italy.

The Belgian Grand Prix 2008 was first of the two back to back races in September. Spa Francorchamps being the premier racing venue and many driver’s favorite circuit, a lot of excitement and hardcore racing was guaranteed. The circuit didn’t disappoint on any count and with the unpredictable weather adding its own charm, it easily became one of the most watchable race this season so far.

After a three week break, Formula 1 turned to Valencia for the European Grand Prix 2008. Valencia is one of the two new circuits introduced to F1 this year. As with any new venue, there was an air of uncertainty and anticipation at the same time. The initial impressions were satisfactory and almost all drivers giving it a thumbs up. Valencia is a 5.4 KM long street circuit with numerous twists and turns.

The Hungarian Grand Prix 2008 turned out to be one of the most exciting races of the season. Its a known fact that this race has always been a dull affair due to the lack of overtaking opportunities provided to the drivers. Usually the one to qualify upfront wins the race. However, this time the refueling rig fires and technical failures provided the much needed excitement.

I’m here with the review for German Grand Prix 2008. The next race will take place this weekend and I thought its better to get the old one out of the way. The German round of Formula 1 World Championship took place at a different date and a different circuit than the last one but it still turned out the same result. Lewis Hamilton of McLaren was victorious again and its clear now that he and his team have found something, at last, which makes them the class of the field.

I’m here with a very delayed review for the British Grand Prix 2008. All eyes were on Lewis Hamilton as it was his home Grand Prix and he did not disappoint. He raced ahead with the victory and by a decisive margin to clinch the winner’s crown for this race. It was well expected that both Ferrari and McLaren will fight it out on equal terms here although, this one was McLaren’s home Grand Prix and they just couldn’t afford to let Ferrari run away with the trophy.

Sorry for the late review. I was busy with my exams and also my PC had stopped working all of a sudden. However, its better late then never. So, here I’m with yet another Grand Prix review. The French Grand Prix 2008 was an eventful one. It was all Ferrari from the start of the first Friday practice. One could easily tell that the red cars are going to dominate the weekend through and through. To make matter worse, the reigning world champion was determined to win here.

The Canadian Grand Prix has to be the most eventful race of this calendar year so far. There were a number of incidents which a single review can’t do justice to. The event is always a spectacle on the tight circuit of Montreal and this year was no different. Although the number of safety car periods were much less compared to previous occasions, the one safety car period was enough to turn the race result on its head. It had more drama than one could have hoped for and ended the challenge of two most significant title contenders.

Monaco has always been the most celebrated Formula 1 race on the calendar and this one was no different. Monaco is all about glitz and glamour and the on track action makes it even better. Everyone expected the McLarens to run away with the race this year but the weather conditions meant it wasn’t going to be easy for them by any stretch of imagination. The qualifying sessions proved likewise with Ferraris claiming both the first and second places on the grid, against all odds. The McLarens of Lewis Hamilton and Heikki Kovalainen easily blocked out the second row.
