What a cluster-****. The whole trivial incident, the like of which has occurred hundreds, maybe thousands of times, in motor racing now inflates up to balloon-like proportions - with about as much substance as an inflated balloon. We've come to expect the sort of hysterical reaction exhibited by Ham...

The whole storm in a teacup is nothing less than pathetic. How many times do we see a slight contact between a front wing and a rear wheel? And the outcome? Usually it's a broken front wing and, less often, a rear puncture. The idea that this was done "deliberately" is simply idiotic. Rosberg "delib...

Really happy for Cal. The bike he's stepping on is virtually identical to Pedrosa and Marquez. He should be over the moon. :) Well, maybe. He's always "over the moon" until he starts hurling the bike into the scenery and then slagging off the people who are paying his wages (Ducati, and previously,...

Racecar engineering has the following description of this system: " The MGU-H is connected to the turbocharger. Acting as a generator, it absorbs power from the turbine shaft to convert heat energy from the exhaust gases . The electrical energy can be either directed to the MGU-K or to the battery f...

Rosberg. People frequently tend to ignore the fact that although Schumacher was certainly past his peak, Rosberg consistently out-drove him throughout the entire time they were team-mates - and not by a slim margin. He's also German, with all that implies for the Mercedes management. Added to which,...

The BBC preview "show" wasn't just bad, it was beyond belief - shot to what looks like the budget and production values of a 1980s in-house video for an insurance company: believe me, I speak from experience. As for Ms. Perry, her stutteringly incompetent attempts at contributing to live F1 coverage...

" I think I'm always surprised by my father's level of passion for racing. To have that commitment is just extraordinary. The determination and the single-mindedness to do what has to be done I find a bit incomprehensible because I couldn't do it myself " Claire Williams (interviewed for "Williams" ...
