Reviewing the F1 2013 official season review on DVD. Another season of Formula 1 racing coming to an end means that it’s time for the annual DVD review, which has been released just in time for the festive period, giving racing fans the excuse to lock themselves away from the rest of the family to re-live the 2013 season. It’s fair to say that 2013 wasn’t the best year in the history of the sport, but the DVD does a good job of capturing the […]

Caterham duo Charles Pic and Giedo van der Garde say that wet weather would be preferable as they bid to snatch 10th place in the Constructors' championship from Marussia. Marussia has held the position since the first race in Australia but a 13th place finish for either Pic of Van der Garde would result in Caterham jumping ahead of their rivals in a battle that has lucrative financial outcomes. Last season, Caterham overhauled Marussia in the final race of the year in Brazil, one which […]

Max Chilton says he expects to remain with Marussia for a second season in 2014. Chilton made his debut for the team in Australia and recorded a best finish of 14th place in Monaco. Marussia has already confirmed that current driver Jules Bianchi will continue with the team into 2014. "I came into Formula One and was ready, but it definitely takes time to really get it," Chilton told The Official F1 website. "Since the [summer] break I’ve felt a lot more comfortable, and also the […]

Mark Webber will be using a new Red Bull chassis in Japan this weekend, after his crash and subsequent fire days ago in Korea. Ahead of his fifth-to-last grand prix before switching to Le Mans for 2014, Australian Webber said the fire in Korea did not faze him. "We're used to bushfires in Australia. No problem," he smiled to Germany's Auto Motor und Sport. Some had even suggested Webber seemed particularly uninterested in getting the marshals to quickly put the flames out. "I pressed for […]

Kimi Raikkonen believes that Lotus can win another race before the end of this season. Raikkonen won the opening race of 2013 in Australia but in spite of finishing on the podium a further seven times, he has yet to add to his victory tally. Raikkonen has won at three of the five venues that Formula 1 has yet to visit this year and took his only victory of 2012 in Abu Dhabi. "Qualifying was pretty awful for me in Korea, but it’s difficult to […]

The Mexican Grand Prix is set to return for the first time in over two decades next season. The race has not been held since 1992 but is scheduled to take place on November 9th next year after teams were given a copy of the provisional 2014 calendar ahead of this weekend's Italian Grand Prix. As expected there is no room for the proposed race in New Jersey, although the return of Mexico - and the inaugural Russian Grand Prix - means that there will […]

Daniel Ricciardo expressed his delight after taking the final point at the Belgian Grand Prix. Ricciardo started from nineteenth place but came through to finish in tenth. "It was nice to get that point! We ran a long first stint on the Hards and I think that helped us build a good base to have a strong pace in the final stints on the Medium," he said. "I felt much more comfortable on the Option tyre and that’s when my race really started. With the […]

Fernando Alonso has dismissed rumours suggesting he will leave Ferrari and insists he is highly motivated ahead of the second half of 2013. Alonso is currently 39 points behind championship leader Sebastian Vettel. "After many years in Formula 1 I have never had a great Sunday here [at Spa] and I would like to finally get a good result," he said. "I think our expectations can be good ones as this circuit requires different levels of aero downforce and a very specific set-up and our […]

Bernie Ecclestone has confirmed that there will not be an Indian Grand Prix in 2014. Instead, the event will return to the sport at the start of 2015. Due to the move, there will also be a race in the country in 2012. Ecclestone told IANS that an agreement has been reached with race promoter Jaypee group. "When we signed the five-year deal with Jaypee we were keen on going to India in the first half and Jaypee wanted it to be in October," he […]

Lotus are hopeful that they can win a tug-of-war with Formula One champions Red Bull for Kimi Raikkonen's services next season. "Red Bull is chasing Kimi and we obviously want to keep Kimi," Lotus team principal Eric Boullier told reporters at the British Grand Prix on Friday where Red Bull's 2014 driver vacancy remained the hot topic. Out of contract at the end of the year, Raikkonen has become a frontrunner to replace Mark Webber for 2014 now that Red Bull's Australian has decided to […]

The 36-year-old Australian has raced at Le Mans twice before. In 1998 he finished runner-up in the FIA GT Championship at the wheel of a sports prototype. In a career in F1 that stretches back to 2002, Webber has won nine grand prix and has started from […]
