It is a rare occurrence that Eddie Jordan manages to ask a useful question as part of his punditry role for the BBC. Yet during the Abu Dhabi qualifying show, he came up with a corker for Paul di Resta: “Who is your teammate for next year?” Simple, yet clever. Paul falls for the trap and replies: “That’s not for me to decide,” and what it would suggest is Di Resta has...

It has finally been confirmed that the Bahrain Grand Prix has been called off because of the political protests occurring in the country and all across the Middle East. Next week’s test session will also not go ahead. The race could be postponed until later in the season, possibly a week before or after the race in Abu Dhabi. This would mean three back-to-back races if that did happen. As for...

The second preseason test at Jerez concluded today with Felipe Massa, Michael Schumacher, Nick Heidfeld and Rubens Barrichello each finishing top over the four days. At this early stage of the year, it is impossible to gauge which cars and drivers will be fastest come Bahrain. Testing times cannot be considered too important due to differing fuel loads, tyre and strategy choices each team is implementing. But...

First of all, along with everyone else I want to wish Robert Kubica the best of luck with his recovery after his horrifying rally crash on Sunday. However, the business of Formula 1 continues, and there is plenty of speculation as to who is going to replace him while he is out. Lotus have narrowed it down to three drivers. In terms of experience and consistency, it would seem that Nick Heidfeld is...

In one of the more surprising announcements made in January, Narain Karthikeyan was given another chance in F1 by landing a drive at Hispania. It is obvious that Hispania picked him up because of his links with the Indian conglomerate Tata and it’s likely the second driver will have an attractive sponsor as well. With the economy still looking a bit grim, could this mean the return of pay-drivers...

With Paul di Resta being confirmed at Force India, nearly all the seats are filled for this year’s F1 season. Only Hispania need to choose a driver to partner Narain Karthikeyan, but somehow I feel that their choice will not be a title contender. I have a habit of getting these predictions completely wrong, although 2010 was the first year I got one right. With anticipation of guessing correctly...

It’s only three days until the first Formula One session of the year, and I’m getting just a little bit excited. There is plenty to look forward to during the 2010 season: new teams, returning champions, a brand new safety car (just me?), all sorts of things. For only the second time since 1996, Australia won’t be hosting the first race. As in 2006, Bahrain gets that honour, which...

2010 seems to be the year of old drivers returning. Michael Schumacher, Pedro de la Rosa, and possibly Jacques Villeneuve will all return to the sport this season. Co- incidentally, all three made their last racing appearances in 2006, but how successful will they be after several years out of Formula One? There have been many other drivers who have returned to F1 with mixed levels of success throughout...
