Read MoreRenault looks to make a big splash in Formula E
While many of the big names in motor racing initially seemed to distance themselves from Formula E, the electronic car championship set to begin next year, it seems as though many of them are now having second thoughts. The latest to announce plans to have some form of involvement in Formula E is Renault and with the massive financial backing from this company and its reputation in the electric car sector,...

Read MoreBritish Superkart Championship – Round One Preview
British Superkart Championship – Round One Castle Combe, 6th May Preview Round one marches onwards and in one week we will have travelled down to Wiltshire for the opening two rounds of the British Superkart championship at Castle Combe.

Read MorePoor Mark – A sort-of Chinese GP review
I’m not one to talk about conspiracy theories. I’m not one of those people that thinks the moon landing was faked or that there’s some RBR conspiracy to sabotage Mark Webber. I just think the poor guy is massively unlucky. Perhaps it’s a self-fulfilling prophecy. Helmut Marko says Mark cracks under pressure and then Mark Webber cracks under pressure. Qualifying and the race were...

Read MoreThe rise and fall of fuel prices
Sainsbury’s has given drivers a welcome break; they cut the price of petrol and diesel across their 279 forecourts. It’s not just a token gesture cut either, 4p of petrol and 3p of diesel isn’t to be sniffed at. This has in turn prompted other supermarkets, Asda and Tesco to start cutting their prices too. So with prices at my local Sainsbury’s now down from 137.9 to 133.9 and our lovely...

Read MoreConflict, Webber and Malaysia
I’m not an impartial journalist, I have my favourites and I’m not afraid to shout about them. So as a Mark Webber fan, the Malaysian Grand Prix has left me feeling a little conflicted. First things first, I don’t like team orders. I think team mates should be allowed to race. That’s why I always loved the dynamic between Button and Hamilton at McLaren. They would race and...
