Monza, Italy. Home of the “tifosi” (“fans” in Italian), and the Ferrari. But it was the young German Sebastian Vettel who clinched pole position – his 10th this season – during the qualifying session of the Monza Grand Prix. Red Bull were actually considered the underdogs at the Italian Grand Prix because of the long straights that were unsuitable for the RB7. Obviously, the crowd ...

It has just been announced that the BBC and Sky Sports, both of which are sports broadcasting networks, will be sharing F1 rights from 2012 to 2018. What’s more, Sky Sports will be airing the entire F1 season, including the free practice and qualifying sessions apart from the race, while BBC Sport will only be broadcasting half the season’s races, some of which include the British Silverstone ...

Hey F1 fans, please vote in my poll: who do you think is going to win the Hungarian Grand Prix 2011?

Fernando Alonso’s past 2 consecutive podiums during the Valencia and Silverstone Grand Prix – he clinched 2nd and 1st places respectively – could be a red hot warning to the other top teams on the grid, Red Bull Racing and McLaren Mercedes in particular, that Ferrari are making a swift comeback, and will stop at nothing to emerge at the front.

He pitted and exited, but without one of the screws which had not been fastened on his right front tyre! He slowly made his way out of the pits and stopped at the exit, then getting out of his car in defeat and disappointment as his dream of ...

We all can't deny that the British Grand Prix which ended about 2 hours ago was gruelling, heart-stopping and intense, in stark contrast with the Valencia Grand Prix 2 weeks ago, which was relatively monotonous. This one, however, proved to be a "Silverstone Classic" as they call it, with all the narrow overtaking manoeuvres, the crash-outs and the pit stop blunders. The start of every race ...
