With the Mercedes AMG Petronas F1 Team very likely to win this year's Petronas Malaysian GP, has there ever been a time where the winning team was sponsored by same company which was title sponsor for the GP?

We're currently having an update of the situation. It doesn't look good. I couldn't believe it when I read it last night. Good luck to his recovery. It's more serious than initially thought. A spokesman for the hospital said: "Michael Schumacher was the victim of very serious trauma. He was ver...

Such unexpected news

In an epic bump! I'd say Karun Chandhok, if he gets to F1 it'll be in a Force India (or Fifi as I like to call them), so...wouldn't be too promising. He's not great anyway in GP2. Judging from GP2 again, Lucas di Grassi would probably be awful if got to F1. Not that he's that bad, he just hasn't mad...

What if Scott Dixon got the F1 drive at Williams in 2005? What if Holden, mitsubishi, suzuki, audi or SEAT entered formula 1? Holden - LOL Holden is owned by GM who also own Chevrolet, so if we do get a GM motor, I expect to see Chevrolet enter F1, though in the light of recent events they might try...

This is probably a general rant about how our media portrays news and mainly how a bad event inevitably gets more coverage than positive news...I'm speaking in relation to the Franchitti crash last sunday. But yesterday morning I was watching BBC breakfast and they do a story about Franchitti's cras...

It pains me to say this, but I have never been so bored of a F1 season until now. Mercedes/Ferrari/Lotus seemingly have no idea how to counter the VETTELWINSLOL steamroller, and it looks like they've all conceded defeat already instead of taking up the battle to Red Bull. Vettel has just pulled off...

Here's what YouTube recommended I watch today, reject moment from Mexico 86 Piquet, the taxi man, giving Stephan Johansson, Rene Arnoux and Philippe Alliot a ride . What's hillarious about the video is the fact that Arnoux and Johansson were already hitching a ride on Alliot 's Ligier before he ran ...

Good f**king job Dallara. ROTR to them for failing to do their job of making cars that don't launch over eachother. Franchitti's launch did seem quite odd because weren't the rear pods supposed to stop things like that happening? I'm also concerned for the catch-fencing which flew into the grandsta...

Well qualifying for race 2 later has been called off due to weather. So the grid has been decided by entrant points: "The starting grid was set by entrant points, in accordance with Rule 8.1.10.1(b) of the IZOD IndyCar Series rulebook, as a rainstorm washed out the 30-minute morning qualifying ...

Great race and good to see De Silvestro on the podium . The Championship battle is getting more interesting now. IIDOTR for me was Luca Filippi, he was good for a podium until his strategy (and Power's) was ruined by a safety car - the same from which effectively handed Dixon the win. They moved the...

ROTR is clearly the Fire Truck being released onto the track without race control's knowledge. Hilarious and embarrassing at the same time after this I wouldn't be surprised if Korea is taken off the definitive race calendar next year.

Around this time last year, there were rumours in Autosport that IndyCar were working towards a round in Italy, and I was under the impression that the negotiations were merely postposed rather than called off.

Nice video from Sauber marking their 20 years in F1, the transition used in their presentation is a little annoying though (probably due to lack of funds )...

Force India Sutil was doing well until his hydraulic leak meant he had to retire, DiResta was anonymous save for a rear end slide which got some air time. Disappointing considering their form this season..

1. Pastor Maldonado : He managed to score a point in that awful Williams, finishing ahead of several cars, not just the Caterhams and Marussias. Bottas was absolutely nowhere. 2.

Here's to a good/ entertaining second race today, I'm enjoying Steve Matchett as guest commentator, his use of F1 terminology in an indycar race seems a little out of place though (e.g. Safety Car instead of Pace Car). Looks like they're going to attempt the standing start again. Hopefully with no h...

Any ideas what this unseen footage will consist of?

Seb Vettel earned his victory yesterday. Well measured race and good win. I think that the stewards did well to penalise Force India and Red Bull following their unsafe pit release and not penalise the drivers involved, especially considering Di Resta did not collide with JEV or ruin his race and W...
