  • Obscure Racers: Alfa Romeo 512

    An excerpt from Mattijs Diepraam's fantastic article on rear/mid engine race cars.The undoubted pre-war highlights among the rear-engined single-seater racing machines were the ultra-successful übercars built by the Auto Union racing department. That is, if you could call them highlights when the opposition comprised of a strange collection of Indy [...]

  • The Big Leak...Piquet crash evidence revealed

    Motives are always suspicious when documents are leaked, reading through this I will say one could very easily interpret everything quite differently. The telemetry "smoking gun" for example just seems meaningless without the context of previous laps. The bit about "he nailed the throttle after the spin started" is completely [...]

  • Mclaren's heavyweight lightweight

  • More Ferrari 458 Italia pictures

    There was a showing for Maranello employees last week and pictures were "leaked" via a gaming forum? OK...(remember how the fake Cayman Wagon pictures were spread? keep your salt handy!)Anyway, the only differences I see from previous pictures are the wheels, anyone spot anything else?(bad music alert...)More Ferrari 458 Italia [...]

  • Kimi speaks!

    I never heard Raikkonen so relaxed and, dare I say, articulate? Kudos to the Dutch RTL journalist, great job. Interesting interview and you gotta love Kimi still being one of the few straight talkers in F1. "... what was the best car you ever drove' and Kimi wearing red in'" [...]

  • Mclaren's Ferrari and Lambo fighter lands next week

    MP4-12C does not quite roll of the tongue but if you are a fan of the Woking F1 team built by Ron Dennis you will immediately recognize the naming scheme. Mclaren has a lot to live up to, over 10 years after its introduction, the Mclaren F1 is unsurpassed in [...]

  • Rule of Thumb: in Formula 1, NO means YES

    When just over twenty four hours ago Vijay Mallya declared that the has been no contact with Ferrari and Fisichella was looking forward to driving for Force India at Monza, what he really meant was, it's a done deal. Of course when yesterday he declared that there had been no [...]

  • So what will the Ferrari 458 Italia be like?

    An evolutionary step similar to the step up from the 360 Modena to the F430. Insiders who have had a chance to drive the car say it has better turn in then the f430 Scuderia and less understeer at the limit. The improved rear suspension design will give the car [...]

  • It was Ferrari by a KERS

    Ferrari did in fact win the race though it might be hard to tell with all the excitement about Giancarlo Fisichella's great second place. In fact both Fisichella and Raikkonen drove great races at Spa, neither making any mistakes. Fisichella was simply "in the zone" the whole week end, his [...]

  • Hell Hath No Fury as a Piquet Scorned

    Nelson Piquet Jr. did promise revenge on Flavio Briatore and Renault after his recent mid season firing and today, through the Brazilian Network Globo, allegations were made that he had been ordered to crash his car intentionally at last year's SIngapore GP in order to help Alonso who had just [...]

    We've said before that the move towards greener cars could represent a great opportunity for enthusiasts because the only logical solution to performance and efficiency would be found in weight savings. Let's discuss whether 3050 lbs constitutes lightweight another time, what BMW has come up with is the first exciting' [...]

  • Horse Meat Vindaloo!

    ...that must be what Fisichella had for breakfast this morning. Dangle the possibility of even a temporary Ferrari drive in front of someone and look what happens! I'm sure it escaped no one that the top three places on the grid went to three drivers fighting for their place in' [...]

    Rather than the usual summary, I though readers might find the BBC's post race show interesting for a change. I will refrain from commenting on Luca Badoer's performance, it would be like shooting on the Red Cross, suffice it it to say that I never thought I would see a [...]
