The new partnership of Kamui Kobayashi and Pedro De La Rosa looked steady after the first day’s practice at the Bahrain GP.
The attacking force of the Japanese driver was visible to all after he recorded the 11th quickest lap in session two after a poor first session by his standards.
Team-mate De La Rosa also had a mixed session on the first day of the 2010 season as he finished a place …

A team may be using a certain set-up or new parts that will make the car perform not at its full capacity. This can be seen …

Amazingly, it’s been 12 seasons since the might of the Williams team produced a World Champion. That’s quite an astonishing fact for a team that simply dominated the 1980’s and 90’s. Can the team start producing good cars again? Even if just for Frank Williams’ sake, I hope so.
How can a team so well established perform so badly for over a decade? Well put quite simply, I don’t think it’s any …

It’s been nearly 16 years since someone called Senna started a Formula 1 race.
However that will all change when Bruno, nephew of the great Ayrton, lines up in Bahrain for newcomers Hispania, formerly Campos.
It has been a long wait for the Brazilian who first tested a Honda (remember them?!) in December 2008 in a shootout to be Jenson Button’s teammate for the 2009 season.
Left without both a drive in either F1 …

Fernando Alonso has warned the rest of the Formula One paddock that he is ready to win again following his winter switch to Ferrari.
The Spanish double world champion has spent three years in the wilderness since winning his last drivers' title in 2006.
Moves to McLaren and back to Renault have failed to bear fruit, but the 28-year-old appears to have won back his confidence following his off-season move to Ferrari.
