It’s all beginning to happen. The final 2010 driver line up will be very interesting and probably the biggest change for many a year. Jenson is off to Mclaren and that will be a challenge for him and I have to say a mistake as he risks being put in the shade by Lewis. Nico Rosberg is rumoured to be replacing Jenson at Brawn and with Nico being much more aggressive and in a great car it will confirm...

But only after his contract with Toyota is finished. Honorable or Moronic? You Decide.

After failing to find a car for 2010, Ferrari’s world champion has announced that he is to leave F1 for rallying. The laconic Finn’s premature exit was the talk of the sport for most of the year, especially after Ferrari’s 2009 car turned out to be quite a dud. Nowhere was Räikkönen’s indifference more stark than at the Malaysian Grand Prix , where during a break...

It seems to be a week for unusual and inexplicable combinations. Erstwhile Toyota F1 driver Jarno Trulli revealed at the weekend that he was seriously considering an eventual move to NASCAR, the American stock-car racing series. On the face of it, this would be as appropriate as Brian Sewell playing centre-forward for Caledonian Thistle. Jarno, of course, was so indignant at being hung out to dry by...

I was thinking about the Mercedes purchase of Brawn GP, McLaren being set adrift and Toyota, BMW and Honda leaving F1. It reminded me of the up-with-failure video that Honda did several months ago. Perhaps BMW will produce a video about how quitting is actually going that extra mile or Toyota may... [[ This is a content summary only. Visit my website for full links, other content, and more! ]]

Mercedes-Benz, the engine supplier and partner of the Mclaren F1 team has now taken over 75.1% of Brawn GP, thereby renaming it as Mercedes GP. Mercedes has taken a brave move at a time when rivals like BMW and Toyota have quit over the weak global economy. Further, to put all rumors to rest, the firm also increased its commitment to the sport by increasing its financial commitments to the team. Related...

News today that Mercedes-Benz boss Dieter Zetsche has plonked down a load of money to purchase a 75.1 per cent stake and naming rights to Brawn Grand Prix hardly comes as a surprise given all the speculation that has linked the two companies in recent months.
