Ever since Minardi faced financial crunch in running its team, F1 started showing symptoms of an incurable disease. F1 has became expensive showbiz than as a sport. It is attracting less audience. The races have became dull. Expensive entry fee started turning away audiences. The races are becaming a side show. F1 is making NEWS [...]

I feel there is no continuity from one season to another. Drastic changes are taking place during every winter breaks. May be too much money and too many fools around giving too many stupid ideas making the F1 look dynamic more outside than in the race track. Hope somebody infuse sanity in the F1 gang. [...]

It was coming but few expected it to be Honda.
After pumping in millions, Honda has anounced the withdrawal from F1.
The chief factor influenced the withdrawal is the recession in the Car industry which has taken a toll on Honda car sales. Adding to the recession is the cost of maintaining a F1 team [...]

There were celebration in the Ferrari pits as Massa crossed the line. For a brief moment it looked as if rain God has helped the title chances of Massa. Not to be. Timo Glock who was on dry tyres lost vital seconds as Hamilton passed him in the last corner to finish fifth. Hamilton won [...]

For STR too it is the first. The minardi team celebrated the unexpected win. All their team members were jumping around [...]

Hamilton is stripped of the Belgium GP win. The penalty is due to Hamilton jumping a chicane and not fully letting Kimi to go ahead as per rule. Stewards given Hamilton a 25 seconds penalty which puts him, behind Nick Hiedfeld, in third place.
As a result of this penalty to Hamilton, Massa win the [...]

What a climax! What a tragedy!
Kimi in the last penultimate lap spun and rammed into the barrier breaking his front and along with it his quest for 2008 championship. Hamilton despite spinning won the GP. Massa was careful to get points and was very cautious.  He finished second. Inthis commotion Nick Hiedfeld over took 2 [...]

“Take it easy Kimi it is Massa’s”
I hope that is what Ferrari president Luca di Montezemolo might have told him when he met Kimi during the Formula One testing session in Monza.
Kimi when asked had only the following to say “He didn’t tell me anything in particular. I already had a contract (for 2009), so [...]
