As Jenson Button moves inexorably closer towards this year’s Formula One drivers’ title, so things are beginning to fall into place as to who will be driving where next year.

Okay it’s time for some automotive porn. Sit down quietly by yourself and take a look at this.

That’s a very nice motor!

The name Ferrari stirs many emotions in racing and road car enthusiasts around the world. No other marque has ever enjoyed the continual loyal support of such a massive fan base, through good times and bad.

Nothing quite like them, is there?
And the Ferrari story is one very much of good and bad times. Its racing history is chequered, if you’ll excuse the pun. Ferrari has enjoyed tremendous success, but also lain in the doldrums for many seasons. Those who are [...]

It’s not very often that the FIA court of appeal overturns a decision taken by its own race stewards. In fact, there was a time when appealing meant that you’d probably be hit by an even heftier penalty just for having the temerity to question the decision in the first place.

Nelson Piquet, who has been dropped from the Renault Formula One team for the rest of the season, has issued a hard-hitting statement criticising Flavio Briatore, head of the Renault team, for his treatment of the young Brazilian driver.

So which is the fastest road car in the world then? Well I must confess that the term is a bit meaningless as far as I’m concerned. Do you mean fastest production road car, or do you count one-offs that have been built just for the purpose of setting a record?

The government is on something of a ‘green’ roll at the moment. In the last few days we’ve learnt about plans to give everyone £2,000 towards a new car if they scrap their old one, a scheme to keep traffic flowing better by coordinating traffic lights, and now it’s offering subsidies of up to £5,000 to anyone who wants to buy an electric car.
But not just yet. You’ll have to wait until 2011 and [...]
