Brawn are back, with Rubens Barrichello taking the honours in the Italian Grand Prix at Monza and team mate Jenson Button coming home in second place. Brawn made the most of their one-stop strategy in the Italian Grand Prix at Monza this afternoon, taking the top two positions and cementing their lead in the constructors […]
Raikkonen win for Ferrari in Belgian Grand Prix
Well, that makes six different winners in six races, but Raikkonen’s win at Spa-Francorchamps cements the Ferrari resurgence as the unpredictable F1 season draws towards an end. But the big winner of the day was Force India, with Giancarlo Fisichella taking his car to an astonishing second place. And there was no luck in the […]
Rubens wins in Valencia
Well, it’s been a long time coming – five years – but Rubens Barrichello has finally stood on the top step of the podium once again, after driving an exemplary race from the second row to take victory in his Brawn in the European Grand Prix in Valencia. Rubens has had a moan or two […]
Johnny Herbert goes racing again
We don’t cover that much on racing and rallying at Cars UK; just the big stuff – not the everyday minutia. So is the news that Johnny Herbert is going racing in Honda BTC big news? Probably not the biggest – I admit – even though Johnny has been a more than competent F1 driver […]
Schumacher won’t be back
It was, to say the least, a surprise to us all when Ferrari announced that Michael Schumacher was returning to Formula 1 to fill in for the stricken Filipe Massa. Was this a step too far even for the exceptional talents of Schumacher, we asked. Was it in fact a public demonstration of the arrogance […]
Schumacher’s Back!
The rumours have been flying around ever since Massa’s nasty coming together with a lump of Barrichello’s Brawn. But now they’re confirmed. Michael Schumacher is to make his F1 comeback driving Massa’s Ferrari for the rest of the season – starting at the European Grand Prix on 23rd August. For someone as competitive as Schumacher […]
Hamilton wins in Hungary
What a difference a few months makes. Hamilton struggled to get his McLaren off the back of the grid at the start of the season, but yesterday in Hungary we saw the Hamilton – and McLaren – we used to know storm in to the lead of the Hungarian Grand Prix and hang on to […]
Red Bull one-two in German Grand Prix
It was Mark Webber’s weekend. Red Bull driver Mark Webber took pole position for the German Grand Prix at the Nurburgring this weekend and, despite a hiccup at the start, managed to translate that in to a double – his first pole and first win in F1. Webber was quick off the line at the […]
F1 Budget Cap row over
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 […]
Red Bull 1-2 at Silverstone
I guess it was too much to ask that Brawn GP should duplicate their form so far this year at their home Grand Prix. Was the pressure too much? Probably that played a small part, but the real key was the astonishing performance of the Red Bulls. Red Bull brought a newly upgraded car to […]
