Filming for Ron Howard’s F1-inspired movie Rush has just wrapped up. The BBC interviewed the lovable Richie Cunningham recently and some kind soul has added it to YouTube for us all to see. You can watch the piece after the break. Howard reveals his lasting hope for Rush is that it is respected by true [...]

Finally, it could be interpreted, Michael Schumacher (Mercedes AMG) has justified his return to F1 by claiming a quasi-maiden pole position in qualifying for the Monaco Grand Prix overnight. As ever, the closing seconds of the third qualifying period contained the high drama and the fairy tales. Nico Rosberg (Mercedes AMG, 1:14.488) held provisional pole [...]

Management at the Nürburgring hopes to sign a new contract to extend their rights to host Formula One races. Currently the German Grand Prix alternates between the Nürburgring and Hockenheim, where the race will be held this year. A 10 year deal is on the table, which would mean at least five more races would [...]

A small white box found near the media centre, adjacent to the La Rascasse corner, at the Monaco Grand Prix last night raised suspicions and race organisers called on a bomb disposal expert to investigate. The area was quickly sealed off and after further investigation it was decided a controlled explosion to destroy the box [...]

Word has come through that Italy’s Guardia di Finanza—that’s finance police to you and me—have raided the Autodromo Nazionale at Monza as part of an investigation into the circuit’s management, Sias SpA. Suspicions have been arisen about some funny business regarding tax matters, dodgy invoicing and other shonky deals from as far back as 2007. [...]

This advertisement for the Valencia Gran Prix came our way via Jonathan Noble. It’s harmless, it’s cute, it’s a bit of fun. Light ‘em up girls!

When we first saw a link to this video a day or two back we were attracted by the promise of Nico Rosberg and Mika Hakkinen driving the Monaco Grand Prix circuit in a Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG Roadster. A couple of F1 stars on one of motorsport’s most famous tracks; sounds like it could be [...]

Red Bull Racing owner Dietrich Mateschitz has joined Michael Schumacher in critisising Pirelli’s 2012 tyres. He says the sport has become more interesting for fans, but the teams are struggling to come to grips (haha) with the new tyres. Speaking to Autosport, Mateschitz said: “F1 is more exciting and more unpredictable than ever before. Obviously, [...]

It’s always good seeing a new winner in F1. So well done to Pastor Maldonado for his victory in Barcelona. Williams, too, is certainly not unfamiliar with seeing its drivers stand atop the F1 podium, but it has been a long eight years between victory celebrations (Juan Pablo Montoya, 2004 Brazilian GP). After a terrible [...]

Ferrari’s post-race blog published after the Spanish Grand Prix has urged Felipe Massa to never give up. But not before it placed his output from the 2012 season to date firmly in the spotlight. Interestingly, it starts with Team Principal Stefano Domenicali drawing inspiration from Manchester City’s dramatic last gasp victory to claim the English [...]

If you could have asked Sir Frank Williams how he would like to celebrate his 70th birthday you’d reckon a race win would have been at the top of his wish list. Of course, that wish did come true thanks to Pastor Maldonado, who added the distinction of being the first Venezuelan to win an [...]

A serious fire in the Williams garage has forced the pitlane at the Circuit de Catalunya to be evacuated. The fire started well after the race had finished, which was won by Williams driver Pastor Maldonado. It’s understood a loud explosion was heard immediately before the fire broke out. Sir Frank Williams was giving a [...]

Pastor Maldonado was a surprise but popular winner at tonight’s Spanish Grand Prix. It’s the first win for Williams since the 2004 Brazilian GP and the return of Renault power to Williams has taken just five races to bear fruit. Maldonado is now the first Venezuelan to win a Formula One Grand Prix. Following the [...]

Lewis Hamilton posted the quickest time in a dramatic qualifying session at the Spanish Grand Prix overnight. But more drama was to follow, with Hamilton now stripped of his pole position and forced to start from the back of the grid. At the end of the session Hamilton’s McLaren ran out of fuel and the [...]

This futuristic and rather cool looking concept rendering shows what Formula One cars could look like in the future. The image has been sourced from iacoski.com, the creator says he began work on the closed-cockpit concept after Felipe Massa’s freak accident at the 2009 Hungarian Grand Prix. Turns out it was a prophetic move, too. [...]
