Opinion: what F1 has in common with pro wrestling

andydarley posted 10/16/2008 from www.britsonpole.com

We’ve watched a fair old bit of professional wrestling, and it’s possible to see several themes brought to fruition that are presently only seeds in F1. And they could, unfortunately, provide some quite telling pointers to the future of motor sport's top formula.

Pimp my ride: McLaren’s Singapore surprise

andydarley posted 9/26/2008 from www.britsonpole.com

The challenges of F1’s first-ever night race have forced McLaren to abandon the search for aerodynamic perfection and fit headlights to Lewis Hamilton’s MP4-23. The new look for the car was unveiled with a video and photos from the team - and was, of course, a complete hoax.

Fans get raw deal from F1, says Manning

andydarley posted 9/18/2008 from www.britsonpole.com

We were lucky enough to be able to interview AJ Foyt Enterprises driver Darren Manning when he was over in England last weekend - here's part one, in which he explains why he's a lot happier racing in America than he would be in Europe and talks about the 2008 season with Foyt.

The fix is in: stewards hand Hamilton’s Spa victory to Ferrari

andydarley posted 9/7/2008 from www.britsonpole.com

Lewis Hamilton beat the rain, the challenging Spa circuit and Kimi Raikkonen to take the flag first at the Belgian Grand Prix - but the one battle he couldn’t win was against the race stewards who stripped him of his victory.

Reigning IndyCar champion Dario Franchitti is to return to the series in 2009, driving for former rival Chip Ganassi at the expense of Dan Wheldon who moves to Panther. The news means that Franchitti will race as the team-mate of Scott Dixon, who he beat to the title last year.

Jack Arute calls it dead right on Danica

andydarley posted 7/22/2008 from www.indycar.com

Danica Patrick is what she is - a talented driver who's up the front on merit but not quite good enough to be one of the very best. In F1 terms, she's Nick Heidfeld not Lewis Hamilton. But it seems that, for a lot of people, if she can't be perfect she's not fit to be let out of the house. I hate that attitude, and as a result I love this Jack Arute column on the IndyCar site.

F1: Turkish Grand Prix live blog

andydarley posted 5/11/2008 from www.britsonpole.com

If you can't watch the Turkish Grand Prix on TV, follow it as it happens on our live blog here. On the surface it looks like more of the same - Felipe Massa on pole for the third year running and seemingly on his way to another big stack of points for Ferrari. But look a little deeper and this has the potential to be a really interesting race.
