Ferrari F1 : They've Got V-Power

Fuel in Formula One is a serious business and there’s much more to it than meets the eye.  On telly we see the sometimes dramatic pit stops with more than 20 gentlemen busy working around a £1,000,000 dollar motor under immense pressure at incredible speed and with impeccable timing.  Arguably the most difficult job in [...]

Who'll be on the grid next year? Introducing Campos Meta One

Now that all the boobah, kerfuffle and abstract hilarity is well out of the way, or at least brushed under the carpet, it’s time to hunker down to start the rampant speculation that is Formula One’s silly season.

Pimms, Porsches & Pretty, Old Motors

Friday of the British Grand Prix and although it looked like sun this was because a positively Arctic gale was blowing across the track and pushing the clouds away.

But me and the other badgers braved the cold (some in shorts!) and headed to the track to see the new Red Bull nose and our first glimpse of the Brawn car in the flesh [..]

Maxed out! Mosley agrees to go, FOTA teams agree to stay

Can you hear that? It’s the sound of our metaphorical Champagne bottle being popped open to celebrate the end of the 2010-budget-capping-bitch-slapping saga! Max Mosley has thrown in the towel after the most ridiculous F1 political furore since ‘Spy-gate’. Formula 1 fans everywhere cheer in unison.

The Last Days of Silverstone – Badger's Photo Gallery

The weekend ended on Monday morning with a hastened smack back to reality.  Though we can all be less than ecstatic to return to normality, let’s hope that these images allow the memories to last just that little bit longer.

A Dinner Date with Red Bull Racing

Finally the Badger goes on the road and because so much happened over the weekend, the Badgerometer is going supersize this week with a series of articles in no particular order (well actually that’s a lie they’ll be in chronological order, but no particular order of preference) and this week’s ‘miffed with’ is to be replaced by a ’stunned by’ and I will do my best to adequately describe the horrors bestowed on us by Eddie Jordan…
