Whatever You Do, Don’t Make Him Angry
Williams have been having some fun with their new driver for 2010, Nico Hulkenberg. You see, the young German GP2 champion has been nicknamed The Hulk by his team, and given his performance last year with the ART Grand Prix GP2 team, it isn’t really a surprise. Nico took the title with five wins, a [...]
Meet The Cars: Williams FW32
Williams haven’t really launched their 2010 challenger this year, instead opting to roll the new machine out of the garage for the first group test in Valencia and in true no-nonsense style that is synonymous with the Grove-based outfit, got on with driving it. Rookie pilot Nico Hulkenberg first shook the car down at Silverstone [...]
Are Mercedes-Benz Looking At Buying Into Brawn?
Although currently living off Honda’s money for this year, Brawn have seemingly been quite casual when it comes to finding sponsors.

BMW Abandon KERS For Good: Isn’t It Now Formula One’s Turn?
Kinetic Energy Recovery Systems were introduced this year as a way of making the sport of Formula One greener, more applicable to every-day motorists and to add to the spectacle of the sport through the re-distribution of the saved energy. However, few teams have adopted the technology and those that have are slowly ceasing its [...]
Who Deserves A Better Shot At The Big Time?
As in life, Formula One is often unfair. A talent may be overlooked, or a silly incident not of his creation can lead to a driver retiring from a great position in a race. Occasionally, these moments define a career and a driver fails to make it into a top team, or fails to win [...]
Bahrain 2009: Friday Practice Two
Nico Rosberg ended Friday’s running at the top of the tables, completing 36 laps on his way to a time 0.2s clear of second fastest driver Fernando Alonso. The Williams pilot has been impressing in Free Practice sessions all season, but this is not an indicator of race pace as Rosberg tends to gradually lose [...]
