Kyle Stone Turkey Debacle So it’s been a week since the Red Bull Turkey debacle, and it seems the dust has finally settled. Or rather the mud, considering the amount of mud that was slung about since the coming together of Vettel and Webber from the lead of the Turkish GP. Everyone has blamed everyone else, with [...]

No Comments »The World Superbike circus comes to town
May 19th, 2010 Steve Kyalami once again played host to World Superbikes but unfortunately this is the last time we are likely to see the series in South Africa. Political wrangling has seen the Gauteng government change and the new incumbents immediately cancelled the five-year contract. Cynics believe that this smacks of racism as motorcycle racing is not seen [...]

May 18th, 2010 Kyle Stone After two near impeccable performances from Mark Webber in the dominant Red Bull, the question is already being asked. Can anyone beat him to the title? It’s obviously far too early to answer that definitively, but barring major gains by the other front running teams; McLaren, Ferrari, and to a lesser extent Mercedes, Webber is [...]

March 29th, 2010 Steve What has happened to Suzuki? It’s not even as if they’ve got a new bike this year. Maybe it is just the Haslam factor. Sure Guintoli showed a flash of brilliance in Australia but he hardly covered himself in glory at Portimao. Still, it’s too early in the season to judge him; he may just [...]

March 10th, 2010 Kyle Stone Bahrain Predictions We are now painfully close to the opening round of the 2010 F1 season, the wait has been long and anticipation sky high. I’ve so been looking forward to this one, and now that we’re this close I think it’s safe to make some predictions for the Bahrain GP. In truth it’s always [...]

January 15th, 2010 Steve With the New World Supebike season kicking off at the end of February I think we are in for a feast of 2-wheel racing. We have several new riders and the team structures have changed. And then of course we have lost the talent of Ben Spies to Moto GP. The biggest change for me [...]
Kyle's F1 Blog: Mercedes consumes Brawn GP
November 17th, 2009 Kyle Stone Yesterday the news of Mercedes buying Brawn GP and McLaren buying back Daimler’s 40% stake in McLaren hit the motorsport headlines and many people including Drive staffers were rather surprised. I wasn’t, in fact it’s been on the cards for some time now in my mind. During a time when manufacturers seem to be jumping [...]

November 10th, 2009 Steve We’ll the Moto GP season has ended and we have seen the 250 2-strokes for the last time. How sad is that? Of course the ozone friendlies have forced the hand of Dorna, the governing body of Moto GP. We have been brainwashed into believing that 2-stroke engines do untold harm to the environment because, [...]
Kyle's F1 Blog: F1 AWARDS
November 2nd, 2009 Kyle Stone The 2009 F1 season is officially over and it certainly finished on a high note, the Webber Button duel on the final lap in Abu Dhabi has got to go down as the best single lap of the entire year. Then there was the completely dominant performance by Vettel, something the British commentators failed to [...]

October 19th, 2009 Kyle Stone Button is the new world champion, a title that if nothing else confirms him as the luckiest man alive. I know I am not alone in thinking that Button does not deserve to be world champion and the reasons for this are numerous. I do admit that as a South African I am no great [...]
