Alonso pleased to stretch podium run

Fernando Alonso believes Ferrari can be very confident for the final part of the season after taking another podium finish at the Hungaroring - his fourth straight top three result. The Spaniard had an eventful race on the way from fifth on the grid to third, with two trips off the road and a spin during the grand prix, and said that given the Ferrari performs at its best in much hotter conditions, he had to be content with another podium. "I think we are confident we can do a good second part of the championship," said Alonso

So Here?s a Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG Coupe Drifting Around Two C63 AMG Sedans [VIDEO]

Mercedes-Benz asked its fans on Facebook to vote for which vehicular stunt they felt Benz?s latest commercial should feature, and the fans picked a drifting figure-eight. What, no R-class jumping through a flaming hoop while pulling off a triple-axel? Not very imaginative, these Merc fans. Still, Mercedes answered the fans’ call and produced the video [...]

Gorlinsky Aces Atlanta

Trulli: New steering has transformed car

Jarno Trulli says the new Lotus power steering system has "transformed" his car, the Italian delighted with his performance after qualifying. Trulli had struggled with the previous power steering, which was not giving him enough feedback to feel the car properly, and so Lotus introduced a new version for this weekend's race. The Italian has been more competitive with it, and he finished less than two tenths behind team-mate Heikki Kovalainen in qualifying today, despite claiming he did not extract the best from his car.

The popularity of the Sonata has only increased with the latest redesign, helping Hyundai exceed the 300,000 unit capacity at the Alabama plant for the past two years. Hyundai has been building the Sonata in the South since 2005. Hit the jump to read over the official press release.
