The FIA has finally published the F1 Technical and Sporting Regulations on its website: http :// www .fia,com /en-GB/sport/regulations/Pages/FIAFormulaOneWorldChampionship.aspx. KERS is in, grooved dry tires are out, tire warmers are still in, presumably the incredibly detailed bodywork restrictions reflect the OWG's plan to reduce downforce by 50%. The...

Since refuelling stops divided GPs into two or three sprint sections large margins of victory are rare. Lewis Hamilton's win at Silverstone was only the second time in the 21st century. GBR 2008 1'08.577 L Hamilton N Heidfeld GER 2003 1'05.459 JP Montoya D Coulthard There were seven instances in the 1990s: AUS 1995 2 laps ...

Woo hoo! By 'eck I enjoyed that. Fantastic race - sorry all the fans got wet, but I bet they think it was worth it. ;o) Brilliant drive by Lewis - some brave decisions by the team. Great win, a real classic. And how lovely to see Rubens on the podium and hear what a great reaction he got from the crowd. A genuinely popular guy. Poor old Mark Webber...

Okay, I don't know about the guys taking part, but *I* learned something today. Did you know ITV's live watching online has a 2hr cut off?? Yep... tuned in just as the coverage started... ... display died just as qualifying was about to finish. By the time I got it all back again and saw the final result, I thought I'd tuned into the wrong race!...

Included below is an article from Autosport,com that very precisely quotes Jeff Gordon and Dale Earnhardt, Jr. discussing Mark Martin's signing by Hendrick Motorsports to replace Casey Mears next season. I'm struck by the fact that Gordon says "you know" ten times during his brief commentary and Earnhardt adds two more instances. Back when Juan Pablo...

Four races - four different championship leaders: Turkey Räikkönen 35 Monaco Hamilton 38 Canada Kubica 42 France Massa 48 Never happened before. In fact, four different leaders in a season is quite rare. 1956 Jean Behra, Peter Collins, Stirling Moss, Juan Manuel Fangio 1974 Denny Hulme, Clay Regazzoni, Emerson...
