It's become something of an annual tradition here at Motorsports Ramblings for me to produce an annual top 10 list of the best drivers in F1 each year, in the same vein as that which appears in Autocourse. As usual, my own list, if rather less definitive, is at least available a month or so ahead of theirs. Argue with my selections if you will... 10. Robert Kubica It seems to me that the Pole has on-years...
N.Technology's case against the FIA regarding team selection for the 2010 season has been rejected by a French court. N.Technology was one of the teams passed over for one of the three new slots on the grid, and argued there were irregularities in the process. Often noted -- all the new entries chose to use Cosworth power. Campos Meta, US F1 and Manor Grand Prix were selected, with Lotus also gaining...
• Renault consider options for continued participation • French car-maker will announce verdict before end of year Renault have postponed making an official decision on whether or not to follow Honda, BMW and Toyota out of formula one until the end of the year.

Filed under: Motorsports , Renault Things have never been this bad for the Renault F1 team. Their performance is light-years behind where it used to be, their star driver is bolting once again, their top management has been thrown out of the sport in disgrace, and its biggest sponsors are leaving en masse. And now, following months if not years of speculation, the French automaker could be preparing...
Another day, another manufacturer team pulls out of Formula 1. Unlike the BMW-Sauber exit, nobody seems to be shocked or actually care that much this time. Toyota never really "got" F1 - They trundled around in the midfield for a few years with a bunch of journeymen drivers (Ralf Schumacher, Jarno Trulli) and now they're off. While it's no great loss on the track, it does leave just two...
• Board of directors to finalise decision at a meeting today • Previous commitment to F1 could raise legal issues The financial crisis facing Formula One deepened today amid reports that Toyota is to withdraw from the sport in an attempt to cut costs. Toyota's board of directors will finalise the pullout at an extraordinary meeting later today, according to Japanese media reports. Its president,...
Like Honda at the end of last year, BMW's announcement of their F1 pullout was quite a shock. 2009 hasn't been particularly kind to them in compared to 2008, they still managed a couple of podiums and beat early hot ticket Williams into fifth place in the constructor's championship. However, like Honda, they abandoned the 2008 car early to work on this year's and that simply didn't work out very well...

The BMW Sauber website — which I mistakenly thought was shuttered, but is still alive — is highlighting the team’s decade in Formula 1. The interactive feature gives a walk down memory lane. It perhaps is highlighted by a few words under its 2000 season: “Ralf Schumacher: victory personified.” Maybe we should have seen the team’s demise [...]
