F1 » Ecclestone continues to rail against 2014 engines


A couple of questions to the opponents of change. How long would you run the V8s for? Another 20 years? 40 years? More? And when you finally decide to update, what would you then choose and how will they afford it? Cost of developing the new engine is high but put it off and it will become even higher. bucksboy has hit the nail firmly on the head....

F1 » Pirelli hints at ‘lock it or lose it’ ultimatum to F1 teams


There has always been some constraint or other to prevent one team getting a huge advantage and the simplest way to do that is to hit the common ground. Two items are common to all teams - one is the amount of fuel, the other is tyres. The current fashion seems to favour the use of tyres as a control although with the change of engines it is not inconceivable that the maximum amount of fuel could be reduced which would lead to more howling However, as these are the only 2 items common to all then if one team is suffering worse than the rest, it is likely to be that they either failed to build the car to match the tyres or failed to put in sufficient fuel. In either case it is up to the team to sort out the problems, not to try to get rules changed to suit them.

F1 » Ecclestone tips BMW to return


@Ajax Possibly the manufacturers you mentioned see no relevance and no benefit to them. After all, none of them have much of a motor sport background. Ask the same question about Peugeot, Porsche, Toyota and Yamaha, all who have been involved in F1 or VW/Audi who do at least have a little experience in making fast things (Veyron, Aventador, R8 etc). And as for MotoGP, major manufacturers such as Kawasaki and Suzuki bowed out as they could not afford it so I doubt Triumph could. It is a bit strange though that the biggest maker of all (Hero) have shown no interest.

MOTOGP » Le Mans: Marquez blasts clear in final practice


I wonder if BT Sport will actually show the final practice sessions live, like the BBC and Eurosport don't. The BBC claim "For the first time since BBC acquired the rights to MotoGP in 2003, all practice sessions and all 18 races will be available to stream live to UK viewers through the BBC Sport website" - NO IT'S NOT. Eurosport claim comprehensive coverage and then miss out Sat morning practices. At least the BBC have NW200 on their site live today.
