Car Launches
Meet The Cars: Lotus T127
Lotus, a name that will spark many memories of a golden age in Formula One, is returning to the sport it once dominated, the name resurrected by a variety of Malaysian backers. In fact, although the team is currently based just a few miles from the Lotus car factory in Norfolk, the intention is for [...]
Meet The Cars: Red Bull Racing RB6
Last year proved to be a good campaign for Red Bull Racing, a season where the team finally put a good car to excellent use. The Milton Keynes-based squad took the challenge to Brawn, and despite a stuttering start, perhaps mostly due to the diffuser issue, Christian Horner’s team finally found the pace to push [...]
Meet The Cars: Force India VJM03
The latter half of 2009 was a surprisingly good time for Force India with the back row minnows suddenly playing with the championship duelers and threatening to win races in what can be only described as an overnight improvement. The Belgian Grand Prix will go down as the race that they should have won, and [...]
Meet The Cars: Virgin VR-01
The first completely new team for 2010 to launch came from the Virgin Racing camp, and although the actual event itself was a bit of a disaster, the car itself is fairly impressive in both the way it was born and the way it has been running so far in pre-season testing. The team has [...]
Meet The Cars: Williams FW32

Rookie pilot Nico Hulkenberg first shook the car down at Silverstone [...]
Meet The Cars: Scuderia Toro Rosso STR5
Like Mercedes, Sauber and Renault before them, the first test of the year at Valencia saw Scuderia Toro Rosso take the wraps off their 2010 challenger, the STR5. The car represents a first for the former Minardi team, as the STR5 is the first chassis to be designed and built by the team. Scuderia Toro [...]
Meet The Cars: Mercedes MGP-W01
Another new name will adorn the Tyrrell this year, as the team that once powered Sir Jackie Stewart to championship success starts another new chapter in it’s impressive and elongated life. Of course, many new fans to Formula One are probably thinking that I have finally gone senile, but I promise you this: the lineage [...]
Meet The Cars: Sauber C29
Having only just managed to get on the 2010 Formula One grid, Peter Sauber once again returns to the sport he so dearly loves with his old team, again under his control after a brief soiree with German motor manufacturer BMW. Sauber never completely left his team and was retained by BMW as an advisor, [...]
