Best mates want to reach reconciliation

Ferrari have been included on the official entry list for the 2010 Formula 1 World Championship, but it is, of course, not as simple as all that.

If you are a fan of the sport, you will be keenly aware of the possibility that Ferrari may not be part of the action next year, despite their inclusion on the FIA’s list.

The Italian giant once again reiterated, following the release of the FIA’s official list, that it will not be part of the championship after the end of the current campaign, if the conditions attached to its entry are not met.

The FIA and Ferrari are playing hardball with each other, of that there has been no doubt for some time. The two – like kids who are best buddies but have fallen out – are being stubborn, and both want everything to work out just fine. Neither could imagine life without the other.

We are, however, not dealing with children, but instead powerful and experienced organisations. Naturally, both have said they do not necessarily need the other one.

Surely now, Button has confounded his doubters

27 April 2009

Jenson Button has faced his fair share of criticism in his time in F1, perhaps even more than his fair share, but his drive in Bahrain on Sunday was arguably his best yet and one of true excellence.

Interest is high, but for the wrong reasons

08 April 2009

I have noticed, over the course of last season and into the early part of the current campaign, an increased interest in Formula 1 from people who I know and would not consider to be fans of the sport.
