The current debacle over the future of Formula 1 racing has just got a little more stupid. Rather than trying to get to the bottom of the various issues (such as the budget cap) that are dictating which teams will be involved in the 2010 Grand Prix, things have now descended into name calling. In […]
Jenson Button has done it again – he coasted to a comfortable victory in Turkey after Sebastien Vettel managed to make a huge mistake on the first lap of the Istanbul Grand Prix. Vettel managed to push himself wide in a turn (no doubt due the pressure of having Button’s now infamous white car behind […]
I’ve said before that after seeing the performance of Lewis Hamilton last year, I became a huge fan. However, no-one can doubt the ability (and car mind you) of a certain Mr Jenson Button. I’m not the only one to notice his stellar rise to the front of the Formula 1 grid. In fact, there’s […]
Well, we can now all breathe a sigh of relief. FOTA, the Formula One Teams’ Association, has signed conditional entry to the F1 2010 season. The Association includes the teams that were previously holding out of signing due to the £40million budget cap, but this seems to have been somewhat placated by a £100million cap […]
Is there any stopping this man at the moment when it comes to his F1 racing career? I’d certainly argue not given his current form. I have to say, it’s quite likely that, even if the rest of the field managed to develop their cars to make them more competitive, Jenson Button’s car will still […]
The FIA‘s proposed budget cap has caused a furore amongst some current F1 teams and Ferrari is the latest to speak out. Teams including Red Bull and Toyota have stated that the £40 million spending limit (not including drivers fees) would effectively create a two-tier championship between those accepting the self-imposed budget and those who […]
Jenson Button continued to march towards the World Championship title on Sunday, following his dominance of the Spanish Grand Prix. This is his fourth win in five races, after following a pit strategy that saw him overtake teammate Rubens Barrichello (don’t quote me on this but I doubt Barrichello can be too chuffed, given that […]
Yesterday, McLaren were handed a three race ban for misleading stewards at the Australian Grand Prix – significantly however, the ban is suspended. What this means in real terms is that, short of further evidence emerging or further breaches of the rules, McLaren should be fine to appear on the grid for the next three […]

Both Lewis Hamilton and McLaren have been stripped of the podium finish they received after a wonderful performance at the Australian Grand Prix. Apparently, the reasoning behind this decision was that the team and driver were responsible for “providing evidence deliberately misleading to the stewards”. Ironically, a post-race hearing moved Hamilton from fourth to third […]
