Qualifying is ongoing at the moment, but shockingly Sebastien Vettel, Lewis Hamilton and Heikki Kovalainen were out in Q1. Worse still, Jenson Button is out of Q2, after putting in a poor performance. Heavy rainfall has blighted the weekend session, so no doubt tomorrow is going to be one hell of a race. Button has […]
In some of the strangest news I’ve seen in a while, there’s a Ferrari FXX for sale on Auto Trader. What’s odd about it? Well, firstly it costs £1.85 million pounds. This makes me think that, for that sort of cash, it’s unlikely the buyer will come across it there. Surely anyone with that sort […]
This year has been a tumultuous one for F1 – with more stories, scoops and changes than just about any other sport. It’s certainly living up to being the ‘pinnacle’ of motorsport, though some would argue for all the wrong reasons. Flavio Briatore and Pat Symonds have both quit the Renault F1 team, following revelations […]
Monza certainly lived up to the fearsome reputation for speed this afternoon – though there were several smaller dramas than one big one.

After the shock (and huge) crash that Felipe Massa suffered in Hungary, it gives me pleasure to post the fact that doctors are hopeful that the Ferrari F1 driver will be able leave the hospital next week. Massa was knocked almost unconscious by a spring from a Brawn car, which caught him on the side […]
Just as Eddie Jordan predicted prior to the race, Lewis Hamilton put in a breathtaking performance in today’s Hungarian Grand Prix by cruising home to victory – swiftly followed by the Ferrari of Kimi Raikkonen! Inside of the fourth lap, Hamilton managed to take first position – which he used to convincingly build up a […]
As part of the deal to avoid a breakaway series next year, Max Mosley has agreed to not stand for re-election for the FIA next year. It’s likely that Bernie Ecclestone had significant involvement in the discussions, in order to ensure that the future of F1 as it stands remained secure. Interestingly, prior to the […]
Granted, he may not be going to win the Drivers’ Championship this year, but you’ve got to admit that the picture above is pretty special.
