Over the last couple of years we’ve featured Bernie Ecclestone’s Christmas Cards as our Christmas Day greeting to readers, as they’ve been by far the most [...]
Bernie Ecclestone – F1 Boss – has turned a photo of his beaten-up face in to an advert for Hublot watches. We’re sensitive souls here at Cars UK. So when F1 boss Bernie Ecclestone got mugged and beaten in London recently we didn’t make a song and dance of it. And nor did Bernie, despite [...]
Red Bull has created a CGI video of the new F1 tack in Yeongam, South Korea, home of the first F1 Korean Grand Prix on 24th October. The F1 Circus gets bigger and bigger every year as Bernie Ecclestone continues his aim to host a Grand Prix in every country that can scrape together a [...]
Bernie Ecclestone has announced the return of the US F1 Grand Prix – at a purpose-built track in Austin, Texas. The Americans have never really fallen in love with Formula One in the way the rest of the world – and particularly the Europeans – have. They have plenty of race series of their own, [...]
Silverestone and the BRDC officially launched the new Silverstone F1 Grand Prix Circuit this week ahead of the British Grand Prix in July Bernie will be pleased It’s been a bit of a saga for Silverstone and the BRDC of late, with a backwards and forwards ‘will-they, won’t-they’ get to host the British Grand Prix [...]
Genii Capital – together with Bernie Ecclestone – have withdrawn from the battle to buy Saab. Another day, another Saab Saga story. Yesterday was all about the ‘Have they – Haven’t they’ reached a deal between GM and Spyker. Bloomberg had reported earlier in the day that a deal was done and even came up [...]
Spyker has revised their offer for Saab after Genii Capital – backed by F1′s Bernie Ecclestone – submitted a last minute bid for the Swedish car maker. I think if we tried really hard we could be doing at least one story a day on the saga that is the sale of Saab by GM. [...]

It has been announced that Silverstone has signed a 17 year deal to host the F1 British Grand Prix.

It seemed certain [...]
Renault has received a 2 year suspended ban from F1 over race fixing in the 2008 Singapore Grand Prix. Briatore banned from F1 and Symonds for 5 years. It looks like they got off lightly. The FIA, meeting in Paris today, has handed out a suspended ban from F1 for Renault over the race-fixing debacle and the [...]
Renault F1 boss Flavio Briatore and chief engineer Pat Symonds have resigned over the Piquet accident fixing allegation. Oh, dear. The accident fixing allegations surrounding the Renault F1 team and their former driver – Nelson Piquet Jnr – have rumbled on over the past days, with Briatore declaring he was suing Piquet – and his [...]
We haven’t really bothered covering the row going on between FOTA (the F1 drivers ‘Union’) and the FIA (the governing body of the sport) because it all seemed to us to be a storm in a teacup, with both sides posturing and pouting, but neither likely to push things to the point where the money [...]
[ad#ad-1] All eyes have gone off the stunning start to this year’s F1 circus with the news that Ferrari, Renault, Red Bull and several other teams have threatened to quit F1 next year in protest at the budget cap proposal and the two-tier system that appears to create.
