The driver salaries for every competitor in F1 2009 have been published, containing a number of surprises, most notably the discrepancy in team-mate pay in some teams, and also the staggering gap between what the highest-paid driver receives and the pay packet of the next man on the list… Although some drivers are shown as [...]
Finally the F1 debacle has finished and even though last week he claimed not to be standing down, Max Mosley will now be standing for re-election as president of the FIA. I can only see this as a good thing, considering the amount of tinkering he has done over the past few years. There has [...]
The list of entrants for next year’s Formula One season has been announced, and can be seen here. Two of the new names surprise me a little, CAMPOS GRAND PRIX (Campos Meta racing, see post here) and MANOR GRAND PRIX. I can see why they included CAMPOS, mainly because they are a based in Spain, [...]
Kinetic Energy Recovery System… any idea what that means? If not, don’t worry, you are joined by quite a lot of fans in F1, who also find it confusing! The KERS system was introduced in 2009 as part of the new rule changes and from the start there were mixed signals over its advantages. The [...]
Spain’s Epsilon Euskadi has become the latest team to confirm that it has sent in an entry receipt for the Formula One World Championship in 2010. I have to say this isn’t a team name I recognise, although, for some reason, the Euskadi part seems familiar, either way, a bit of background information about them: [...]
It’s been announced that a few more teams have entered into the F1 2010 season, LiteSpeed GP, Campos Meta Racing and Team Superfund. Doing a quick google, you will discover these teams don’t even have a homepage that is highly ranked, so who are they? Let’s start in reverse, with Team Superfund. The team is [...]
Fortunately, Donington Park now has until the end of June to satisfy planners over the various upgrades it needs to fulfill requirements to stage the 2010 British Grand Prix. This is good news from the perspective of British motorsport fans and motorsport in Europe in general, as losing the British Grand Prix would be catastrophic. [...]
Lola, Prodrive and US Grand Prix Engineering are looking at entering the 2010 season after the FIA announced a proposed £30million cap on teams budgets (unless it gets revised, which no doubt it will). The £30million budget cap will provide smaller teams the ability to still produce a competitive, as they will have a slightly [...]
I was looking around the F1 website and saw a large advert for their videos section of the website. Intrigued as I was, I went to take a look and discovered a pretty good collection of footage from 2008 and 2009 races. They are awesomely edited, as expected, but also boast pretty good soundtracks! There [...]
Finally the feud between Ferrari, Red Bull, BMW etc etc vs Toyota, Brawn GP and Williams has finally been resolved. I know this is a bit old news, as it was resolved yesterday, but I thought I’d write a post anyway. The item in question, the diffuser, is effectively an extension of the floor at [...]
