The European season....

The European season....

So after the 3rd win for Button, next we have the European section of the season.

The main point is that all the other teams have their new improvements, mainly the diffusers, and with Red Bull showing that they are quick without it, you have to wonder whether they will now get where they want to be now....

Aston Martin in F1 ?

Aston Martin in F1 ?

Dave Richards, chairman of Aston Martin, has expressed an interest in entering Formula One. He was already confirmed as one of the teams under the "Prodrive" name a couple of years ago, but because of budget caps planned for next year, he is serious about setting up a team for next year.

He does have some...

China

A crap race imo, the rain made things a little dull. But perhaps a good result for the Red Bull team, with their first 1-2 finish, the 2nd Win for Sebastian Vettel, and the best finish for his team-mate Mark Webber, who definitely deserves to be there.

3 races into the season, and Ferrari still have zero points....

Crucial Day Tomorrow

Crucial Day Tomorrow

Tomorrow is the Court of Appeal hearing Regarding Brawn, Toyota and Williams's rear diffusers, with the decision being known on Wednesday.

If they are ruled to be illegal, then the teams will lose all their points so far, or they will keep them and be ordered to change the design of their car.

If it goes the way...

More stuff starting this weekend.

More stuff starting this weekend.

On Sunday evening, it is the start of the MotoGP season. Live on BBC3 at 9pm from Qatar (11pm local time, all fine, so long as they don't have a power cut).

Sadly, even though I will watch it, I have a horrible feeling it will be the "Valentino" show again, although Casey Stoner was fastest in the first practice...

Malaysia

So Button did it again, i.e. get on Pole.

Despite Vettel getting 2nd, he is 13th after his tackle with Kubica last weekend, so that leaves the Toyotas on 2nd and 3rd.

Then Rosberg and Webber before the the first of the big contenders from last year, i.e. Kubica, and then Raikonnen.

Judging by the weights...

Brawn GP

Brawn GP

Just been having a read of the latest testing at Barcelona (Ahead of the Formula One season starting in just over 2 weeks time), and the new Brawn GP team have stunned many people over the last two days, getting the fastest times - Button yesterday, and Barrichello today.

It is said that part of the reason for...

World Superbikes

World Superbikes

It all kicks off at 1am, at Phillip Island. I'll be watching the 1st race, and then I shall watch the rest after I get up in the morning.

It should be good. Two new bikes, the BMW and Aprilia teams. Some new faces, including of course 5 Brits, and a new Formula 1 style "knockout" superpole.

As for who is...
