Peter Sauber Q&A: Team funding well set for 2011
BMW Sauber's 2010 campaign got off to a slow start, but with Kamui Kobayashi once again finishing in the points in Belgium, the team's renaissance shows no sign of flagging. To add to the optimism at Hinwil, team principal Peter Sauber is certain that after some tough financial times a healthy level of funding for 2011 is now secure. As to where that funding will come from, Sauber is tight-lipped…
Colin Kolles Q&A: Yamamoto set to retain HRT seat
After only launching their car in the week before the season opener in Bahrain, it was never going to be an easy debut year for new team HRT. But with the Spanish squad continually improving, team principal Colin Kolles is satisfied with the progress they have made so far. Kolles also seems pleased with driver Sakon Yamamoto, who initially filled in for Bruno Senna at June's British Grand Prix. Yamamoto has since replaced Karun Chandhok at three races, and it appears Kolles sees no reason to mak…
Jenson Button Q&A: Battling on after Spa's missed opportunity
Last weekend's Belgian Grand Prix was a bittersweet affair for McLaren's Jenson Button. Sweet because the MP4-25 was back in fine form for most of the weekend, but crushingly bitter because Button's own hopes of a second-placed finish ended after Red Bull's Sebastian Vettel collided with him following a misjudged overtaking manoeuvre. Forced to watch team mate Lewis Hamilton clinch an outstanding victory and the standings lead as his own title hopes diminished didn't help the Briton's mood eithe…
Pirelli ahead of schedule after French test
Pirelli's preparations to return to Formula One racing in 2011 as the sport's sole tyre supplier continued apace this week, thanks to a successful test at France's Paul Ricard circuit. The firm's official test driver Nick Heidfeld was again on track following his debut outing for the tyre manufacturer in Italy at Mugello last month. Heidfeld spent the two-day test behind the wheel of a Toyota TF109, which was fitted with Pirelli's latest Formula One tyres. The German continued the development p…
The Secret Life of Jarno Trulli
He's Italian but he's never driven for Ferrari; his first - and only - F1 victory came at Monaco, 2004; he has raised almost 670,000 Euros for Abruzzo since a devastating earthquake hit the region in April 2009; and he owns a vineyard. These are some of the things you probably know about Jarno Trulli. Now find out a few you don't, in the latest installment of our Secret Life series…

Lewis Hamilton Q&A: I'm targeting victory in Monza too
Although he almost lost it all after momentarily going off track in the rain, McLaren's Lewis Hamilton eventually cruised to a well-deserved victory in Belgium on Sunday. Added to his 2008 Silverstone and Monte Carlo triumphs, Hamilton has almost a complete set of wins at the calendar's 'classic' venues. Next on the British driver's agenda is Monza. And with the MP4-25 expected to be equally strong at next weekend's Italian Grand Prix, he may not have long to wait, as he explained in an intervie…
