In the end the two ran away from the rest of the field, and ultimately Molinari outlasted the top-rated Englishman. But for Westwood, it was a victory of sorts, as he will retain the No. 1 world ranking. Going into the...

Red Bull Win the Constructor’s World Championship: A Short Season Review

Red Bull Racing raced to their fourth one-two of the season in Brazil, enabling them to clinch the Constructors World Championship with one race still to go. It hasn’t been a flawless season as such for Red Bull. In fact, no one would have predicted them winning the championship after the start they had to the 2010 season. In the season opener at The Bahrain International Circuit, Sebastian Vettel... 

Rafael Nadal: His Relentless Quest for Excellence and His Injuries

Rafael Nadal impinged on our consciousness in 2004 when as a mere 17 year old, he defeated Federer, then the world No. 1, in their very first meeting. Lest you thought it was a fluke, Nadal defeated Federer in six of their first seven matches ultimately going on to notch a head-to-head record of 14-7.  Initially, you might have been tempted to dismiss him as an irritant...

Red Bull Triumph: Milton Keynes Rules the Roost At Last

Despite for the most part having the strongest and fastest car, Red Bull made difficult work of claiming the first constructors title. Yet alas with a magnificent one-two in Brazil the team gains its first seasonal triumph in their sixth year in the sport. For me the moment was poignant as the team are based in my hometown of Milton Keynes. As one of the fastest growing cities in the UK, sadly in the... 

Tiger Woods: Why He Shouldn’t Be Worried About a No. 1 Ranking

As we have all seen in recent weeks, Tiger Woods just lost his over-five-year hold on the world’s No. 1 ranking on the PGA tour to European Lee Westwood. A ranking is just a number, and I believe that there are much more important things that he should be worried about at this point in his career. If he gets his golf game back together, the ranking will be soon to follow. But for now, he... 

Francesco Molinari Prevails Over Lee Westwood to Win WGC-HSBC Champions
