F1 in Bahrain: Kimi’s looking good after practice…

Fernando Alonso is in a Ferrari because Ferrari didn’t believe Kimi Raikkonen could follow up his 2007 championship win with another. And fair enough too; Kimi rapidly lost interest in becoming the next Michael Schumacher as Ferrari had wanted him to be. As he ambled off to an only-occasionally impressive career in the WRC (on […]

As we move to Bahrain, our correspondent isn’t enjoying this season much…

We don’t expect any of you come to TopGear.com’s Sunday Afternoon Club looking for hard news, so when we post after practice, qualifying or a race, we’re looking for a theme, a story, a pattern that will get us all thinking and talking. Nonetheless, the rules of journalism dictate that we post something vaguely sentient […]

Alonso wins in Shanghai

It’s a win for Vettel in Malaysia – but at what cost?

‘Immersive’, that’s what we’ll call that one. On the track, in the pits, in qualifying, on the radio, on the podium, even in the podium green room it all kicked off in Malaysia this weekend, didn’t it? Red Bull might have had the upper hand in the race today, but that is one unhappy team […]

Vettel takes second pole of the season in Malaysia

Confused? We are. Red Bull too possibly; it easy to forget that 30 minutes or so before Sebastian Vettel bagged his second podium of the season (of two), the team were sending him back out to shore-up his Q1 lap.
