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 is [...]

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 [...]

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.

So by now we all know that Kubica has made the jump from the sinking BMW over to their French rivals Renault. Whilst this may not be hot news, I do think it is one of the most important pieces of news in a while, well that and Vettel declaring he won’t shave as [...]

What a disappointing Monza race, okay it was actually quite good but I’m just annoyed that Button’s championship lead is looking increasingly unassailable. Rubens may be proving to be the superior Brawn driver in the twilight of this season but we’re talking about a Ross Brawn team here. A combination of Ross Brawn and [...]

How wrong could I have been in my last post? Here I was predicting that Haydon wouldn’t be on the Ducati next year and then he goes and puts in the most spectacular qualifying performance and probably would have translated that into a race result had he not been knocked off the [...]

This past week in F1 has been a very interesting one indeed. If you read my blog last week you will know what I think is going to happen at Ferrari next year in terms of drivers, now however we have a spanner in the works. The spanner or tool in question is Kimi Raikkonen, [...]
