I’m assuming at least one more season in F1 in 2019 as the clashes between WEC (to which he is already committed) and Indycar would make racing the second Le Mans impossible without missing races in Indycar. I’m […]

The celebrities in the Royal Box are there for the satisfaction of the sponsors not because they paid.

In 2014 they managed to clash the British Grand Prix with Tour de France with the largest free sporting event in the world passing through Yorkshire, it probably didn’t affect attendance much but tv viewing figures were down.

Your aware of course that it’s not just a cost issue, the engines are supposed to be reliable. If I’m buying a car then the engine needs to last more than one Grand Prix length.

The current formula which seems to advantage lighter drivers should suit women, when compared to previous eras when upper body stength was key but yet there are very few women at levels even close to F1. If the […]

Lotus’s cleaner for 2014 Maureen brings sponsorship from Domestos however it appears Doreen is bringing big money from Cilit Bang so although Maureen had a sparkling 2014 we all know it’s a money game and with […]

Button’s body language says he doesn’t have a drive next year, it amuses me that none of the bbc or sky pundits seem to want to call the obvious reasons, even Eddie Jordon who ‘predicted’ he would leaving McLaren […]

Mercedes’ advantage comes from how engine and aero design went hand in hand. McLaren now have that opportunity, I wouldn’t count on it for 2015 afterall Prodomou only started work a few weeks ago so his influence […]

I suspect McLaren will keep the same driving lineup for next year. Button is an experienced hand and trusted by both McLaren and Honda, given they are taking a big risk with a new Honda engine I don’t see them […]

Long term FIA don’t want a formula dominated by one engine supplier, there is a freeze on engine development during the course of the season but for 2015 they are allowed to make the design changes necessary. Even […]

If only his car had brakes…

There is a huge difference Cricket is your national sport watched and played by millions and most of the games sell out. IPL funds itself. Motorsport has little history in India it is nothing but a rich man’s […]

Surely if they think Perez can’t be consistent enough then sticking Magnussen in the car would be daft – if they want Magnussen F1 ready I would imagine he’ll find his way into the FI or Maurussia reserve drive […]

They still ask nearly £40. People are entitled to voice their opinions on the quality of the product they are paying for, it is not a reflection of the people who are working on the game but the people who […]
