The first ever F1 night race in the history of the sport held a lot of
unknowns, throwing up a number of surprises including the first win for
Fernando Alonso in more than a year. The Spaniard, who started as far
back as 15th on the grid, managed to take advantage of the safety car
following a crash by his teammate Nelson Piquet, as well as a major
error made by the Ferrari pit crew, which held up Felipe Massa.
It was another disappointing day for Ferrari at the Hungarian GP, with
lead driver Felipe Massa suffering an engine problem with just three
laps to go. This handed the win to McLaren’s Heikki Kovalainen, who
recorded his first ever win from 28 starts in his F1 career. McLaren team
mate Lewis Hamilton was in second place for most of the race after
starting on pole but fell back to fifth at the flag due to a tire
puncture.
Sweeping changes to next year’s V8 Supercars series were announced over the weekend and include a decision to switch to 85% ethanol-blended fuel as well as the introduction of a shortened race calendar. V8 Supercars chairman Tony Cochrane confirmed the changes, which he hopes will help in the promotion of alternative fuels and make the series more exciting.
Lewis Hamilton has secured his second consecutive win and established a
four-point lead in the drivers' championship following yesterday’s German GP
in Hockenheim. After dominating from the early stages but losing the
lead near the end of the race after two safety car interventions,
Hamilton proved his prowess by overtaking Felipe Massa and surprise
leader Nelson Piquet in the final laps. The win also marks the McLaren
team’s first victory at the German GP since 1999.
McLaren’s Lewis Hamilton took home top honours at yesterday’s British
GP, delivering a decisive drive in the wet conditions and reigniting
his world title challenge. Hamilton is now tied with the two Ferrari
drivers - Kimi Raikkonen who finished fourth and Felipe Massa who ended
13th - at the top of the championship point’s ladder.
With the clock running down on the current contract between Formula One and the officials behind the Australian GP, there were tense moments as the Victorian government's refusal to allow a night race held up negotiations. The event's future was thought to be in jeopardy, but today it was announced that F1 will stay at Albert Park through 2015.
A new low-cost feeder series for the development of future Formula 1
talent is set to be launched by the FIA next year under the guise of
Formula 2. The series will be run in direct competition to the current
GP2 series operated by Bernie Ecclestone, though young racers around
the world are sure to appreciate the expanded opportunity the second
event will provide.
