McLaren’s upcoming Ferrari fighter (something they will be doing a lot of this year) has been given a good wringing out by Lewis Hamilton and Jenson Button at Goodwood, and surprisingly they like it. But then why would would they bite the hand that feeds them (lots of cash)? McLaren just announced the MP4-12C’s full [...]

Jenson Button led Rubens Barrichello to another Brawn GP 1-2 at Saturday’s Grand Prix de Catalunya in Barcelona, Spain. Saturday’s race also marked the fifth race this season, and closed the first third of what has been a thrilling year in F1. Between the dominance of the Brawns and Red Bulls, the rulings on Brawn’s [...]

I. It looks like President Obama is getting ready to announce that Chrysler will file for Chapter 11 by Thursday. Obama hopes that the deal with Fiat help carry Chrysler through to building cars people want, but at this point he isn’t sure. [Autoweek]

Sunday’s GP in Shanghai was yet another noteworthy chapter in the 2009 F1 saga. Red Bull pulled off their maiden victory, with Sebastien Vettel in first and Mark Webber in second. The race also  saw two firsts for Ross Brawn GP. For one thing, nobody gave them shit about their diffusers. For another, they didn’t [...]

I. Fabio crashed a Ferrari 599 owned by World Class Driving. Apparently the model/idiot went into a corner too hot with the rental and lost it. Just because you’re rich and famous doesn’t mean you get to drive a Ferrari. [Source: CarZi]

The 2009 Malaysian GP ended almost as unspectacularly as the Australian GP did the previous weekend. It ended in the rain after just 32 laps had been run.

You can catch qualifying tonight live on Speed due to the day ahead time [...]

March is here again, which for most Americans means getting excited about college basketball and economic stimulus checks [Ed: and my birthday]. For those of us with a  motorsports bent, that also means watching a bunch of guys with sideburns and bad dye jobs see who can master the left turn. But for those of [...]

While it may look like a Ferrari F430’s snout grafted onto a Lamborghini Gallardo from the A-pillar back, this is in fact the upcoming McLaren P11. You are to think of it as McLaren F1 light. Instead of a 600+ hp V12 sourced from BMW the P11 will sport a 550-ish horsepower 6.2-liter V8 sourced from [...]

I. McLaren announced that its P1 sports car will be electric. Since designer Jim Dowle announced it last year, it’s generated lots of press, and now it has joined the ranks of prospective electric supercars. According to McLaren, the thing will weigh a scant 2,326 pounds, reach 60 in under 3 seconds, and have a [...]
