A solid season opener for the No.17 crew with a few hiccups along the way due to interchangeable conditions. The livery on the car looked absolutely stunning on track😍!! At many stages during the race the team were in podium position so that bodes well for future races🤭. The opening race of the season always consists of a few hiccups but I’m confident in the team’s performance and can’t wait to see what the rest of the season holds 🤍🖤!!

The season opener of the NLS marked the debut of the Ford Mustang 🤭! The weekend was very productive for the team and at this stage the main focus is to learn as much as possible about the car and how to maximise its performance. 10th in class is a good start considering that it’s a brand new car for everyone in the team. It’s onwards and upwards from here and I can’t wait to see the progress 💙💛!!

Sprint Qualifying: 3rd
Sprint Race: 2nd (7 points)
Qualifying: 1st
Grand Prix: 1st (25 points)
Positions: =

Another strong weekend for the papayas, Oscar more so than Lando performed better this weekend. The weekend kicked off with Oscar qualifying 3rd for the Sprint and finishing 2nd in the Sprint whereas Lando struggled in both Sprint qualifying and the race as the car was not cooperating. Things turned around considerably for the Grand Prix with Oscar qualifying 1st and finishing 1st after a successful one stop strategy while Lando qualified 3rd and finished in 2nd despite his brakes having an issue. Another successful weekend for the team in the books🤭

Lewis (9th in the standings):

Sprint Qualifying: 1st
Sprint Race: 1st (8 points)
Qualifying: 5th

Ferrari had a very mixed performance this weekend. The Sprint Race was definitely their best performance with Lewis qualifying 1st and finishing 1st with a lights to flag finish, marking his first ever win with Ferrari. Charles struggled during the Sprint Race as the car was being difficult to drive and just lacked pace. The Grand Prix was not the best for both drivers with Lewis having no pace and Charles chewing up his tyres so he couldn’t advance up the grid while also losing a place to Max. Although Charles did do well to finish in 5th despite having front wing damage. Then matters got worse as both drivers were disqualified due to technical infringements.

Oscar (9th in the standings):

Qualifying: 2nd
Grand Prix: 9th (2 point)
Positions: -7

McLaren were incredibly strong this entire weekend, dominating each and every session which goes to show how they’ve continued their great form from last year. The race started off strong for both cars despite the very tricky conditions caused by the various spells of rain. Despite the chaos going on around them for a majority of the race both cars dominated, sticking close together while leaving the rest of the field behind. However, unfortunately both cars ended up being caught out by a rain shower towards the end and ended up having a moment with Oscar unfortunately going off track and dropping down the field. Thankfully Lando managed to secure his win and Oscar secured some points.

Lewis (10th in the standings):

Qualifying: 8th
Grand Prix: 10th (1 point)
Positions: -2

Charles (8th in the standings) :

Qualifying: 7th
Grand Prix: 8th (4 points)
Positions: -1

Ferrari just had one of those weekends that didn’t go their way. First and foremost the car was not suited to the track at all and it was very tricky to drive. The strategy calls from the team were not the best at all and they fumbled a massive opportunity towards the end due to very poor communication from the pit wall about the incoming rain. Lewis will definitely need more time with his engineer to sort out their communication and how much information is given as well as when it is given. Nevertheless both drivers scored points but clearly not the result that they were looking for. However, with all that being said the team are going through a total rebuild so these are just teething problems so hopefully things get better as the season progresses.

Feature: N/A (no result due to it being cancelled)
Positions: N/A

Dino had a good start to the beginning of the Sprint race and got through the first lap, dropping from 4th to 6th. A brief VSC was called but was quickly resolved. On lap 5 Dino was chasing down Stanek and made a move to take 5th place. A Safety car was then called due to a car going into the gravel on lap 7. On lap 12 Dino had a spin and dropped to 17th. On lap 14 Dino moved up to 15th due to another car going off track which brought out another Safety car. On lap 18 Dino moved up to 14th after making a move off Shields and he ended the race in 14th.

The Feature race was a wet race and began behind the Safety car but was red flagged during the formation lap due to the conditions of the track. Another race start was attempted but it was red flagged again due to the conditions not being safe. The race ended up being cancelled with no lap times recorded. Dino was meant to start in 5th.

The finale in Abu Dhabi took drama and chaos to the next level😅.

The first race was red flagged only two minutes into to it due to a crash at the start. The red flagged lasted for around an hour which led to a 30 minute extension being added once the race got back under way. With 2 hrs 3 minutes left Zhou pitted from 2nd in class and swapped with Elias dropping down to 20th in class. After a flurry of pit stops and some overtaking Elias worked his way up to 1st in class and remained there for the remainder of his stint. Ralf did a brief stint in the car and ended up battling for the class lead but he had to pit with 10 minutes left to go so Zhou could complete the mandatory driver time for Bronze drivers. At the chequered flag the team finished 14th in class.

For the second race the team started on pole and managed to maintain the class lead from the get go but unfortunately the race was red flagged only a minute in due to a crash. At the restart Zhou maintained the class lead and fluctuated amongst the top 3. After multiple VSC Zhou pitted to swap with Ralf. By the end of Ralf’s stint he climbed up to 5th in class before handing the car over to Elias. Elias made his way up to 6th in class before having to pit again and after the chequered flag finished 12th in class.

The team have done a fantastic job this season but unfortunately silverware wasn’t in the cards😔. Nonetheless they should give themselves a massive pat on the back for a job well done and hopefully they will come back stronger next time 🩶☺️!!

The 3rd and 4th races of the Asian Le Mans Series took place this past weekend and they were definitely eventful 😅.

The first race was pretty clean for the team for the most part however, a very lengthy red flag during Zhou’s second stint put an unexpected twist to everyone’s strategy. The race then resumed with 1 hour 45 minutes left to go with Ralf in the car in overall 28th. By the time Elias took over for the final hour of the race the team were 17th in their class. After a lot of hard work Elias ended the race 10th in class🥳.

The second race was just as eventful as the first😅. During Zhou’s first stint there was a lengthy Full Course Yellow but Zhou managed to get to 8th in class. Virtual Safety Car at the end of his second stint gave the team the opportunity to put Ralf in the car without losing much time and in time before the Safety Car came out.. Another VSC came out with 1hr 29 minutes left so Ralf came into the pits and swapped with Elias. When the safety car came out to bunch the grid back up together Elias was 3rd in class and this is when the chaos began 😭. In the last minute of the race Elias battled the 2Seas Motorsports car for 6th place in class but ended the race 7th in class.

The team finished in the top ten for both races and came close to a podium position in the second race🥳🥳!! Let’s see if they can progress further in the season finale this weekend at Yas Marina Circut🤞🏾🩶!!

The first set of races for the Asian Le Mans Series went really well for the team they secured points in both races. In the first race after multiple Safety Cars, FCY and accidents the boys did well to finish 10th in their class, securing their first points🥳.

The second race was a bit of a rollercaoster with the weather conditions constantly changing😭. The first part of the race was dry but as the race progressed the rain came in.

The team chose to stay out on slicks during Ralf’s stint but then when Elias got into the car they changed to wet weather tyres. However, the race did not run to the full 4 hours because it was Red Flagged due to the heavy rain so for the second race the team finished 4th in class although they were on course to finish 1st in class if the Red Flag didn’t come out😭😭. Nevertheless the team did an incredible job and I can’t wait for the next race🥹🤍!!

McLaren have done it and won the 2024 WCC. Despite the setback due to Max colliding with Oscar the team remained calm, focused on their strategy and brought the WCC to the team. Lando did incredibly well to finish in 1st and Oscar did an amazing recovery drive to finish in 10th. The entire team absolutely deserved this and next year looks like an epic year for the team.

An end of an era and what an end that was. It was a rocky start for Lewis after qualifying but he ploughed his way through the field to finish in 4th for his last race with Mercedes. Lewis will always be synonymous with Mercedes and he will always be a legend at the team, now it’s time for the next chapter in his story and I can’t wait to see how he does at Ferrari. George did well to finish in 5th after a tricky qualifying and will now prepare for next chapter of his career in which he will have a new teammate alongside him.

This also concludes my time as a Mercedes fan as I am first and foremost Team LH. I will always have a special place in my heart for this team but I will be following my GOAT across the pond to Ferrari.

The race then settled down for a few laps and he put up one hell of a defence against Isack to keep 8th. On lap 18 Dino moved up to 6th then 5th on lap 20. He ended the race in 4th due to Ollie having a penalty. Due to Paul getting disqualified Dino moved up into 3rd place.

The first race didn’t go so well for her due to multiple stoppages and she ended up not finishing the race before she could hand over the car to her teammate during the pit window.

However, the second race went absolutely fantastic with Ahmed taking the class lead on the first lap then and despite the lengthy FCY period and the delayed pit window, he managed to hand over the car to Reema in a good position. For the remainder of the race Reema maintained her position as 3rd in class and ended the race with a podium.

Congratulations to her and Saudi Racing. Hopefully we can see Reema on track more next year🩵🥳

Unfortunately for the team the race didn’t pan out the way it was meant to.

Despite this there were plenty of times when the car ended up in the top 10 but unfortunately by the end of the race they finished in 12th place.

Well done to the team and drivers for pushing their hardest and hopefully next year will be kinder🧡

Despite rejoining the race, on the last pit stop the team retired the car most likely due to damage or a technical problem.

McLaren have had a rollercoaster of a weekend. The sprint race went exactly how they needed it to go but the Grand Prix was chaotic. Oscar managed to get a podium and Lando managed to do an incredible recovery drive after that stop and go penalty.

McLaren have had an absolutely horrid weekend. They have had no pace whatsoever and have conceded a lot of points which means now Ferrari are closer in the Constructors. The past few races the team have been inconsistent and it has cost them dearly. The suspected culprit to the loss of pace was the modified rear wing they had to change after Baku. Both drivers struggled immensely with their graining and even in clean air the pace was horrible. Hopefully next week will be better or this Constructors Championship will also be lost.

Mercedes have had a an incredible weekend from start to finish. They topped all the timing sheets for each session and were by far the fastest team this weekend. The car seems to like very cold temperatures and a relatively dusty track so both drivers had a field day. George did a fantastic job throughout the entire race just cruising at the front while Lewis fought his way up the pack from 10th. The team did well with their strategy calls for pit stops which weren’t easy considering how much traffic was on track. Now let’s see Toto open his mouth about shelf life😇

SJM Theodore Racing by Prema No.30:
Qualifying 1: 9th
Qualifying 2: 15th
Qualifying Race: 11th
Macau Grand Prix: 8th (Promoted from 10th)

Dino made his return to the Macau Grand Prix this week for the second year in a row.

During the 10 lap Qualifying Race which sets the grid for the main race; Dino moved up to 12th place from 15th on the opening lap but an early safety car was brought out due to a crash. Just before the race got suspended due to the rain coming in Dino moved up to 11th. The race was then resumed behind the safety car with 3 laps to go which took us to the end of the Qualifying Race. Dino was promoted to 10th after post race penalties.

For the main race it began under safety car but after one lap it came in. Dino just narrowly missed getting involved in the pile up that happened on the second lap and managed to continue on unscathed but the race got red flagged. The race then resumed with one lap behind the safety car and at this point Dino was in 9th until the restart when he dropped to 12th. On the final lap Dino moved up to 10th after his teammate Slater went into the wall. Dino finished the race in 10th but got promoted to 8th after the PHM cars which finished in 5th & 6th got disqualified.

A very big well done to Dino who finished in a much better position than last year despite the trickier conditions throughout the 4 days and I can’t wait to see what he has to give when he steps into an F2 car for the last two rounds this year 💙💛!!
