Jarno and Heikki for Lotus

: Posted by Jamie Hibbard; 1:34 pm on Monday December 14, 2009

Lotus F1 Racing have announced their driver line-up for next year, and although not particularly brave choices, they’ve got themselves a lot of experience in Jarno Trulli and Heikki Kovalainen.

Abu Dhabi do

: Posted by Jamie Hibbard; 4:25 pm on Sunday November 1, 2009

The first ever Abu Dhabi GP didn’t really live up to all of the off-track bluster once the race actually got going, until about two laps to go when Jenson Button got close enough to second place man Mark Webber for a bit of an on-the-edge ding-dong.

Jenson Button and Lewis Hamilton traded places at the front during the first practice session at the inaugural Abu Dhabi GP this morning, and it was good.

A very British win

: Posted by Bill Thomas; 4:34 pm on Monday October 19, 2009

What a great result for British sport at Interlagos on Sunday. Don’t forget that Brawn, which was Honda last year and almost disappeared altogether over Christmas, is a British-owned team, staffed by British people almost exclusively.

Lotus back, BMW saved

: Posted by Jamie Hibbard; 1:02 pm on Tuesday September 15, 2009

It’s been 15 years since Lotus last competed in F1, but as of 2010, they’re back. Lotus F1 will occupy the 13th spot on the grid next season, backed by a group of Malaysian entrepreneurs.

More Brawn for Merc?

: Posted by Jamie Hibbard; 12:50 pm on Tuesday September 8, 2009

Mercedes-Benz is set to buy a chunk of championship leaders Brawn GP, according to F1′s rumour mill. The German manufacturer already has a long-standing stake in McLaren, and supplies engines to Force India, but it’s apparently keen to tie up something more substantial with the Brackley-based team.

Pause Button

: Posted by Jamie Hibbard; 3:15 pm on Sunday August 30, 2009

Jenson Button will look at today and think that it could have been a lot worse. Taken out by Renault rookie Romain Grosjean on the first lap, Jenson could then only watch on from the pit wall, with his fingers crossed.

Spa break

: Posted by Jamie Hibbard; 2:50 pm on Saturday August 29, 2009

We expected the Brawns not to be the quickest in Spa this weekend, but we certainly didn’t expect Button to not even make it into Q3 for qualifying at the Belgian GP.
