Vettel unconcerned about Red Bull reliability
After two rounds of the 2010 Formula One season, and going into the third race of the season, Sebastien Vettel seems unconcerned by Red Bull’s unreliability so far. Perhaps he should really think it over and realize that this statement might just only be positive PR and nothing more really. For the championship table spells it out as it is and [...]
2010 Australian GP Qualifying: Vettel storms to pole
Sebastien Vettel stormed to his second pole in two race weekends of the 2010 season as he put in a stunning qualifying lap round the Albert Park circuit in Melbourne.

2010 Australian Grand Prix: Friday Practice
As the second race weekend of the 2010 season began, there was more on-track action in the first practice session alone than witnessed in the entirety of the Bahrain GP weekend.

FIA allow Renault to tweak engine
Now that the storm over the bore fest that was the Bahrain GP is settling down, people are turning their attention to different things.

2010 Bahrain GP: Alonso takes maiden Ferrari win
Fernando Alonso kicked off his 2010 campaign in style, taking victory on his Ferrari debut at the Bahrain Grand Prix (full results). Kimi Raikkonen did so in 2007 and that year he went on to win the championship. The kind of form that Alonso displayed in today’s race does indicate that he will be a tough competitor all year along. There were [...]
2010 Bahrain GP Qualifying: Vettel takes pole
Red Bull’s Sebastien Vettel took the first pole of 2010 for the season opening Bahrain Grand Prix. He slotted his car, christened Luscious Liz this year, at 1:54.101 in Q3 - only 0.141 seconds ahead of Felipe Massa’s Ferrari.

Bahrain Grand Prix 2010: Friday Practice
The first Friday practice of the season turned out to be on expected lines.
