The future of the Turkish Grand Prix has been cast into doubt following some startling revelations that were revealed today. Bernie Ecclestone has reportedly doubled the rent for the track’s services. He has accompanied this requirement with a threat to dispose of the circuits place on the Formula 1 calender if the £26 million fee is not met. Such a substantial increase sounds like...

By the end of it, we will have a greater grasp on the potential that our homegrown players possess ahead of SW19.

Amazingly through all my years of watching tennis, until today I had yet to watch a full clay court fixture. English television just doesn’t give it as much coverage as the other surfaces and I don’t have Sky! So today’s men’s final between Rafael Nadal and Robin Soderling was to be my first encounter. I went in with average expectations on the basis that it was going to...

Amid rumours of constructional delays and national war concerns the Korean Grand Prix is under a massive amount of scrutiny. Many have suggested that the track will not be complete by race day in October. And even if the track reaches a satisfactory standard recent tensions between South Korea, who will host the Grand Prix, and their neighbours North Korea have worried those who can see a war coming...

The refuelling ban has divided the spectatorship of Formula 1. Whilst anger over its inception has died down with a collection of thrilling Grand Prix, many are still finding the sport lacking. There appears to be one major fault. There is still an evidently difficult nature of overtaking that is disallowing drivers at the back of the field to make major headway up the field and gain anything close...

The choice of team can often be a make or break decision for a Formula 1 driver. On one end of the spectrum, you have the damaging decisions to avoid, such as Alonso’s destructive move to McLaren, or Zanardi’s ill-fated blip with Williams. These left both drivers in a position of uncomfortability, and in the latter’s case resulted in the end of a career in Formula 1. Yet, if you chose...

Has anyone else noticed the current and complete lack of discussion concerning one of the most talked about rule changes for the 2010 season? After Bahrain the claws came out from both drivers and spectators for the refueling ban that was promised to afford us greater levels of compelling action. Instead, many saw it as a huge detriment to the sport and called for its immediate exit. A new season full...

Whilst watching Nicole Scherzinger’s ditsy and somewhat cringe worthy commentary on her beau Lewis Hamilton’s chances before the start of the Grand Prix, it’s not difficult to wonder what the Brit sees in her. Yet beyond the obvious beauty on the outside, she seemingly fills the high heeled and stereotypical boots often associated with the WAGs of sportsmen. During her interview,...

This article was originally going to comment upon my insatiable optimism for the remainder of the season. The title fight looked in full swing as the fantastic four, composed of the two Red Bulls and the two McLaren’s delightfully and commandingly squabbled throughout. Even Jenson Button who has appeared distant in dry race conditions put on a show. Sadly Sebastien Vettel went some way into...

The last two seasons for Robert Kubica have seen two halves. Going from a celebrated hero to an unappealing zero, his career was forced into jeopardy. The exit of BMW left him and teammate Nick Heidfeld under a cloud of doubt. Would their careers be sustained amongst the various emerging talents within the sport after a season of turmoil? Kubica proved more successful than his former teammate,...
