At the Formula 1 in-season testing held at Silverstone overnight Lotus ran part of the day on 18-inch wheels and tyres, instead of the usual 13-inch setup.

Last year Jaguar debuted the one-off F-Type Project 7 at the Goodwood Festival of Speed. Now, we’re very pleased to say, Jaguar will again bring the Project 7 to Goodwood (26–29 June). Only this time it will be the debut of the production model. Yes, they’re going to build it, and it’s coming to Australia […]
Christian Horner has revealed to Autosport the approach Red Bull Racing will take in its appeal to have Daniel Ricciardo’s disqualification from the Australian Grand Prix overturned. Ricciardo crossed the finish line in second place and he and the team have been stripped of the 18 world championship points earned on the day. The team […]

Judging by pre-season testing form we’ll be lucky if half of the 22 cars entered in Melbourne finish the race. Remember, too, there’s just five complete power units available per driver […]

Jaguar XFR-S Sportbrake revealed
When Geneva rolls around Jaguar will tread where BMW is unwilling to go when it reveals the XFR-S Sportbrake.

Around the middle of last year Volvo gave us the very sexy Concept Coupé. Then they turned it into an SUV, which we didn’t care for too much. Now it’s become the Concept Estate. And it’s ice cold cool. It’s so awesome and we were so smitten with its rear three-quarter profile that it took […]
Formula 1 qualifying in 2014 is set to change after the teams voted for a revised format in a bid to encourage drivers to fight for pole position in Q3. Currently the tyres used by a driver in Q3 must remain on his car at the start of the race. This rule had led to […]

McLaren 650S Coupé officially previewed
McLaren has reacted to leaked images of the new 650S by giving us a handful of images and a few details to go with. This comment from the press release pretty much sums up the current approach: “Performance figures will be confirmed ahead of the Geneva Show but will improve on the already rapid 12C […]
The current rule stating an F1 driver must start the race on the same tyres he qualified could be scrapped with immediate effect at a meeting between the FIA and the teams to be held on 21 February.
