Firstly I must congratulate Jenson on winning the World Championship in 2009. His decision to stay with Honda, latterly renamed Brawn was well justified on balance. However, one has to ask where else could he have gone. His CV wasn't exactly illuminating and the results simply weren't there. However, I was somewhat surprised to hear Jenson is moving to Mclaren for 2010 as he will surely be tested there...
• 'It feels unbelievable to finally be a part of it,' says Button • World champion praises 'wonderfully gifted' Hamilton There is no mystery as to why Jenson Button decided to sign for McLaren to drive alongside Lewis Hamilton. A quick stroll down the central gallery at the team's headquarters near Woking, between ranks of classic racing cars that helped build a reputation second only to...
Emerson Fittipaldi, James Hunt, Niki Lauda, Alain Prost, Ayrton Senna and Lewis Hamilton. Just remember those names, particularly when somebody mentions that Jenson Button has made the wrong decision in signing to drive for McLaren. All these motor racing legends won world championship crowns at the wheel of a succession of highly competitive McLaren creations over the past three decades. And yet,...
Ponder these names and numbers for a second. Michael Schumacher – 6. Ayrton Senna – 5. Jim Clark – 4. Kimi Raikkonnen – 4. Juan Manuel Fangio – 3. Damon Hill – 3. Those are repeat winners of the Belgium Grand Prix at Spa. Only one of them is active now. But maybe not for long. At this [...] [[ This is a content summary only.

• World champion given a guided tour round McLaren HQ • Button would share equal billing with Lewis Hamilton McLaren have teed up Jenson Button to partner Lewis Hamilton in their 2010 Formula One line-up and the world champion could be close to turning his back on the Brawn team for whom he won this year's title. Button and his manager, Richard Goddard, today visited the McLaren headquarters...
The name Senna will forever be synonymous with Formula 1 because of Ayrton Senna. The three times world champion died after crashing whilst leading the San Marino Grand Prix in 1994 and is a legend of the sport. But now the Senna name is back in F1. Ayrton's nephew Bruno Senna has just landed a contract with Campos Meta - one of the new teams that will take to the grid next season and will be racing...
Does anyone remember Ayrton Senna?? Amazing as he was, I do not hear mention of his name often these days. While I do not watch CNBC very often either, I happened upon it last night for a few moments, and was transfixed by the deepening black sallowness of Maria Bartiromo's eyes, punctuation marks on time passed since her entry into the mile-high club. This was followed by an uber-slick,
F1 newcomers Campos Meta 1 have officially revealed Bruno Senna as the first of their F1 drivers for the team’s debut season in 2010. The announcement had been rumoured for several weeks. The nephew of Ayrton Senna competed in the Le Mans Series this year after finishing second in last year’s GP2 championship for iSport. After [...]

I had planned to use this space to say something clever, but last night, I ate my weight in Sour Patch Kids and pulled an all-nighter watching rally videos on YouTube. Tired? Yes. But I'm also Jalopnik 's newest contributing writer. My name is Sam Smith . How did I get here? Why is my brain so fried? What the hell was I doing with a garbage bag full of candy in my house yesterday, and how did I manage...
Montreal (Quebec), November 9, 2009.– Performance rally driving champion Antoine L’Estage, and his co-driver Nathalie Richard, both of St-Jean-sur-Richelieu (QC), were honoured this past weekend by the Fédération de Sport Automobile du Québec (FSAQ) as winners of the Bertrand-Fabi Trophy. The award is presented annually to a driver or team that has accomplished the...
I am nearly overflowing with very strong emotions this weekend. Pride , because Sam achieved his yellow belt. I am so proud of him doing this sort of thing at just six years old. His Mum was crying at the award ceremony, because she’s a girl. Sadness , because of all the Remembrance activities going on. Not just because of the men and women who have died or been wounded, some of whom I knew,...
Indianapolis 500: The Simulation came with a manual that had pictures of Indy 500 winners, arranged in chronological order, and I remember noticing how the cars would look faster and faster throughout the decades (this made perfect sense, as it kept with the progress of technology). I also remember learning the names Wilbur Shaw and Johnny Rutherford, who seemed to keep popping up as multi-race winners....
