Just a quick heads-up for regular readers here. Keith from F1Fanatic asked me to write a guest post for his site last week, and today it went up. Keith is running a three-part series where a trio of F1 bloggers were asked to argue why a one of the three championship contenders should win. I got lumbered with Alonso, but all the comments so far suggest there are still a fair few fans of the Spaniard. Yesterday I read with delight Clive Allen’s post arguing for Lewis Hamilton, and tomorrow will see the conclusion with the case for Kimi Raikkonen. Head on over and take a look. Comments are open on F1Fanatic so be sure to leave your thoughts.

You should be proud that you must now be considered officially one of the top 3 F1 bloggers in the world
It was a good post, and it didn’t show too much that you felt you had been “lumbered” with writing about Alonso lol.

Thanks Craig. Next time I’m gonna take dibs on the easier of the options though!
Top 3!? Stop it, my head won’t fit through the door otherwise!
If you insist though, I have to ask, who’s the other one?

Hmm, well there’s you and Clive so far - I’ll tell you who is the third one tomorrow after the Kimi post is up!!

Ahhh…

The third one is apparently Ben Evans of F1 Fanatic. Not surprising - if this was about getting the best three bloggers to speak up, they were hardly going to pick me, were they?
Seriously, congratulations on getting invited to do an F1 Fanatic spotlight, Ollie, and you did a good job with it. Keep up the good work

I’ve considered it. But I can never think of a decent enough subject with lots of different angles for guest posters to write about. *Ollie thinks of awesome idea* Maybe during the off season…
Thanks Ali.

Actually, I was “lumbered” with Hamilton too. I think we all really wanted Kimi…

Third post was from Christine over at Sidepodcast.com, by the way.

Ok, fair enough. I must have misread something. She’s a good F1 pundit as well. The Ollie-Clive-Christine triumvirate works well for me.
