Like most stories as high brow as Lewis Hamilton being linked to another team, they usually carry little or no weight. Everyone’s favourite rumour right now is that Hamilton is in talks with a drinks giant regarding a drive in the unstoppable Red Bull Newey machine. Of course the initial reaction is “abosolutely not, he would never leave Mclaren, that’s where he started and that’s...

After what seemed like an eternal out season, the 2011 Grand Prix series kicked off in Melbourne at the weekend. The wait to see who has it, and who doesn’t, was finally over. So is it going to be better than 2010? I think it definitely is. There was no surprise that Red Bull were fast. Sebastian Vettel dominated qualifying by eight tenths, a massive difference between...

As we see out the last couple of days before the opening race of the 2011 season, the usual conversations are likely to have been thrashed to death. Who’s looking strong? Who are the possible outsider’s? Who has the best car? Who’s looked the best in testing? But what I want to know the answer to is whether Adrian Newey, with his deep reservoir of F1 design...

We always want the offseason to deliver us some sort of excitment to keep us going until March, but what we certainly don’t want is news like that of Robert Kubica’s recent rally crash in Italy. And a fairly horrific accident it was. The young pole was not far from the start of the Ronde di Andora rally when his Skoda collided into a church and finished up with...

This week Nelson Piquet Jr and his father, Nelson Piquet, won their libel case against Renault F1 at the High Court. They had been accused by Renault F1 of “false allegations” and “attempts to blackmail the team” following events at the 2008 Singapore Grand Prix where Nelson Piquet Jr was ordered to crash to assist Fernando Alonso to win the race. Renault...

We are now firmly marooned in the part of the year that we all dread: the out season. But there is one thing that always keeps us interested during this seemingly never ending period: That is the much anticipated driver line-ups for the season to come. Some have been confirmed, some have not. So, who do we think will fill these empty seats? The “Super Four,” as they have fondly...

How important to a team’s outcome is the driver pairing, on and off the track? Does it make a big difference to the outcome at the end of the year or do they behave like opponents on and off the track? Many of the partnerships this year look as solid as marriage, while others look like a couple on the rocks. For example, what is it with the new guy at Ferrari? Don’t get me wrong, this isn’t...

So there you have it, another season is over. It seems like yesterday that I sat and wrote about how horribly boring the 2010 season looked like it could be, as I penned my thoughts on the opening race in Bahrain. But what a season it turned out to be, and one that I am now anxious will never be rivaled. It literally had it all—foul play, accidents, moments of genius and moments of utter disaster. But...

Always one of the best events of the year, and with so much for several drivers to lose, the action at Interlagos this weekend was nothing short of relentless. Perhaps the biggest spanner in the works for the title fighters, besides the rainy qualifying session on Saturday, was the Williams rookie Hulkenburg taking pole position by over a second from the Red Bull’s. This was surely...
