The press download doesn?t just acknowledge their existence, but [...]

Ground effect return to be called off

Formula 1 teams are set to rubber-stamp a move to abandon the return of full-spec ground effect on grand prix cars from 2013 at a meeting later this week. As part of a major overhaul of regulations that are coming in place for two years' time, F1 teams had been considering a return to ground effect floor aerodynamics on - which would in theory have helped improve the ability of cars to race closer to each other on track. However, following more detailed analysis of the implementation of the ground effect design, teams now feel that the move is too radical if they are going to achieve targets for downforce and drag that have been laid down by the FIA.

Heidfeld unhappy with Petrov

Nick Heidfeld was unimpressed with Renault team-mate Vitaly Petrov after the duo made contact during the Turkish Grand Prix. Heidfeld's and Petrov's cars touched after going side-by-side in the series of corners before the start/finish straight as the duo battled for position. The German felt Petrov had pushed him wide, and he made hand gestures to his team-mate after the move.

Richards: Mini debut ?set a standard?

Mini team boss David Richards says the new car's performance on its debut in Sardinia last weekend has given the squad huge encouragement. Kris Meeke had the Mini as high as fourth on the opening morning before a throttle glitch sent him off the road, while Dani Sordo had a relatively trouble-free run to sixth place. "I think we have shown the performance of the car," Richards declared.

Horner insists RBR not unbeatable

Red Bull Racing think it is far too early for anyone to claim it is unbeatable this year, despite another dominant victory for Sebastian Vettel in the Turkish Grand Prix. Vettel took his third win of the season with a comfortable triumph at Istanbul - that further extends his lead at the head of the world championship standings. And although Red Bull's rivals are scratching their heads about what they can do to catch up with the pacesetter quick enough to keep their title hopes alive, the Milton Keynes-based outfit does not think its advantage is as big as others are making out.

When NASCAR loosened the reins and allowed drivers more latitude to settle their differences it sparked a buzz among fans and competitors alike. No longer did a heavy hand come down on a driver who retaliated against another; a slap on the wrist a good talking to became the extent of NASCAR?s punishments. Drivers such...more»

Mercedes-Benz Unveils Two New Special-Edition G-Wagens We Can?t Buy

Despite the fact that it?s pronounced ?dee-zin-yo? we?re thinking that when Benz first branded its Designo program, it wasn’t reckoning with a Yankee institutional memory that includes Wham-O, Super Bass-O-Matic ?76, Chee-tos, and the Marx Brothers. We can?t help but snicker when the lads and ladies at Merc attempt to seduce us with swanky appointments [...]
