Teams seek calendar clarification

Formula 1 teams are to seek clarification from Bernie Ecclestone about the state of the 2012 calendar, because they insist that it was ratified without their support. As part of the Concorde Agreement, the document that binds F1 together, teams have to give approval to a calendar if there are more than 17 races and if more than half the races take place outside of Europe and the United States

Stewart: Hamilton needs new approach

Lewis Hamilton needs to put more time into sorting out his mind management if he is going to turn around his Formula 1 troubles, reckons former world champion Jackie Stewart. Amid a fresh focus on Hamilton's driving, following two separate incidents with Felipe Massa over the Singapore Grand Prix weekend, Stewart has said he does not understand why the British driver is not delivering his full potential at the moment. "I am a bit confused because he certainly knows how to drive and has a very large amount of natural talent," Stewart told AUTOSPORT

Toro Rosso breaks curfew in Singapore

Scuderia Toro Rosso broke the first of its curfews after team principal Franz Tost arrived too early for work in Singapore on Friday afternoon. As part of a new rule introduced at the start of this year, operational team personnel are not allowed to be in the confines of the circuit between a time period that stretches from nine hours before first practice to three hours before. The skewed timetable at Singapore's night race meant that the curfew stretched from 9am to 3pm on Friday - which caught Tost out after he arrived early to begin his day's work before the afternoon cut-off.

Kevin Magnussen claimed his sixth victory of the season from a hectic final British Formula 3 race at Donington Park this afternoon. Rain arrived just before the start and caused the first six drivers on the grid to make a last-minute switch to wet tyres. The rain intensified on the formation lap, so only 10 cars took up their grid slots as most of the field dived into the pits for a tyre change.

Karthikeyan confirmed for Indian GP

HRT has officially confirmed that Narain Karthikeyan will make his anticipated return to a race seat for the Indian Grand Prix. Karthikeyan will also be back in the car for Friday practice at next weekend's Singapore GP in preparation for his home race. "Of course it's a great feeling to be driving on a grand prix weekend once again, and on the subject of my home Grand Prix of India, the team had assured me that I'd be driving when I stepped out of my seat after the European GP," said Karthikeyan

Renault confident of 2012 resurgence

Renault may have endured a challenging 2011 campaign after falling away from the podium-finishing pace that it started the season with, but team principal Eric Boullier says he has reason to feel genuinely optimistic that the team can return to form next year. Boullier says his confidence for the future is based on the fact that Renault has managed to arrest its decline this year - with recent updates to the car pushing it back into regular Q3 contention after a mid-season struggle. With further updates set to be added to the R31 at this weekend's Singapore Grand Prix, and the team now benefiting from a mid-season windtunnel upgrade, Boullier thinks his outfit has the potential once again to push itself nearer the front of the grid.

Molina on shock Oschersleben pole

Miguel Molina claimed his first DTM pole position by the narrowest of margins at Oschersleben as he beat Bruno Spengler by just a thousandth of a second. The Spaniard, who has not even scored a point this season, had never previously qualified higher than fourth, but took his old-spec Abt Audi to the top spot in a time of 1m22.317s. Spengler, the last man to set a time in Q4, was slower than Molina in sector one, but pulled back almost all the time in the remainder of the lap and only just missed out

Dixon beats Power to Motegi pole

Scott Dixon denied Will Power pole position for the IndyCar Series' Motegi round, but Power will still start seven places ahead of title rival Dario Franchitti, who could only manage ninth. The result is only the second time all year that Penske driver Power has been beaten to pole on a road course, with Dixon (Ganassi) having already been the man who ended his pole streak at Lexington last month. Power hung back early in the Fast Six session, letting his rivals fight for provisional pole

De Puniet buoyed by practice form

A highly encouraged Randy de Puniet reckons his strong performance in Friday practice at Aragon was purely down to his Pramac Ducati and its set-up suiting the circuit. The Italian team has struggled this year, but de Puniet got as high as third in the sole session held before a power failure hit the Spanish track, and ended up a promising sixth. That made him the fastest Ducati rider in the order.
