Can Alonso dominate the European leg of the season?
Because after winning the first race of the season in Bahrain, the Spaniard hasn’t really won shit in Asia.
And now that the European leg of the 2010 F1 season is about to kick off in his home country of Spain, Fernando Alonso is looking forward to having a series of strong finishes in the next few races, claiming that this leg is where the race for the title truly begins.
”The Championship always starts in the first race, but it’s true that it’s just a race to confirm the good sensations you’ve had during testing. But it’s true that in Europe it is time to show who is going to fight for the title and who isn’t,” Fernando Alonso said in an interview.

Danica Patrick to star in a video game?
It seems like the racing public can’t get enough of Danica Patrick these days.
After hinting at a move to Formula One and then deciding against it before eventually moving on from the IndyCar series to NASCAR in the 2010 NASCAR season, Danica Patrick isn’t done from engaging herself to territories that are somewhat new to her.
You see, it was just a few days ago when Danica Patrick made yet another experimenting of her own, this time though, she is trying her hand at video games. Patrick will voice a video game character in the racing game ”Blur,” which Activision is slated to release on May 25.
According to the game’s developers, ”Blur” is part ”The Fast and The
Lewis Hamilton the dirtiest driver in F1?
Now we know why Fernando Alonso hated his guts so much.
In case you missed the fourth race of the 2010 F1 season which pretty much concludes the Asian leg of this year’s campaign, McLaren scored a dominant one-two finish to put them in the lead for the constructors’ title.
Thanks to Jenson Button scoring his second win of the season, McLaren Mercedes took the lead from Ferrari in this year’s race for the constructors’ championship. McLaren now has 109 championship points to Ferrari’s 90.
However, the story was Lewis Hamilton, who finished second fastest behind his teammate to give McLaren the one-two finish. How come? Well, he was back to his old antics that estranged former teammate Fernando Alonso a

F1 desperate to sign Michelin next season?
F1 desperate to sign Michelin next season?
Because at the end of the 2010 F1 season, the sport will have no tire manufacturer to turn to with Bridgestone set to quit at the end of this campaign.
And since Michelin, which was F1’s ”other” tire manufacturer a few years back, is still reluctant to return to the sport, Formula One is scrambling to find a solution before this season is over.
So who’s to blame for this yet another fiasco? Well, the ”powers – that – be” of course.
It was only four years ago when the French manufacturer, Michelin, walked away from the sport after the ”powers – that – be” decided to switch to a

McLaren hasn’t tapped its full potential
Whitemarsh claims McLaren hasn't even tapped to its full potential yet.
With his McLaren team still 10 points behind Ferrari for the constructors championship this 2010 F1 season, team boss Martin Whitemarsh refuses to even think that McLaren can’t get past their Italian rivals this year.
So far, McLaren’s campaign will be noted more for their mistakes than their wins. Take for example the debacle they had in Australia where Lewis Hamilton could’ve finished at the podium if it wasn’t for the poor tire strategy call they made.
At the following race in Malaysia, McLaren once again made a huge boo boo when they sent their drivers out late in qualifying, relegating both Hamilton and defending champion Jenson Button, to the
Alonso still the most hated man in F1?
The more things change, the more they stay the same.
Yes, Fernando Alonso is making new enemies again after only three races into the 2010 F1 season. In case you didn’t know, he kicked off the new season for his new teammates from Ferrari with a win in Bahrain but after failing to get a podium finish in the last two races, Alonso is back to what he does best, talking.
You read it, Fernando Alonso is talking again, only this time, he’s not talking about how much he hates Lewis Hamilton or how pathetic he thinks Renault is. This time, he’s talking about team Red Bull and how insignificant he thinks Red Bull’s one-two finish in Malaysia is.

Jenson Button moving to McLaren?
In case you didn’t know, Jenson Button secured the world title in Brazil.
And although he didn’t win the Brazilian Grand Prix, Jenson Button scored just enough points to secure the world championship this 2009 F1 season.
However, there are rumors that claim Brawn GP could lose the newly crowned champion to McLaren. Yes, you read it, McLaren is once again making some moves to land them a world champion. They did the same thing to Renault’s Fernando Alonso a few years ago and just recently, Ferrari’s Kimi Raikkonen. Why not go for another one and go after Brawn GP’s 2009 champion Jenson Button?
With Brawn GP not as rich as the big boys of Formula One like Ferrari, McLaren and Renault, they are
Raikkonen to return to McLaren?
You read it, the fiery Finn is coming back to McLaren, looking to save the team from the debacle they’ve been having this year.
Looks like McLaren – Mercedes is already making some moves to rectify the pathetic campaign they’ve been having this 2009 F1 season. In case you haven’t been paying attention, McLaren’s defending champion, Lewis Hamilton, has only won a couple of races this season and the team in general hasn’t been faring well too, dropping to fourth in the constructors championship standings.
With Lewis Hamilton struggling this year, McLaren has to come up with an insurance policy for next year’s run and with the team signing a former world champion like Kimi Raikkonen, they may have found exactly that.
Kimi Raikkonen raced for
Ecclestone disgusted with Briatore?
You read it, and since they were friends before the race fixing scandal in Singapore broke out, you can bet your ass they ain’t friends no more.
It turns out that Bernie Ecclestone’s friendship with Flavio Briatore has suffered in the wake of the race-fixing scandal that transpired last year in Singapore. This is definitely something any F1 team can’t have coming to the 2009 F1 Singapore Grand Prix this Sunday but as far as Renault is concerned, they can’t do a damn thing about it.
In case you didn’t know, Flavio Briatore was handed a lifetime ban from all FIA – sanctioned events this 2009 F1 season for his role in the conspiracy which resulted to Nelson Piquet Jr. deliberately crashing his car to virtually hand Fernando
Button losing his lead for the F1 title?
In case you haven’t noticed, teams are starting to catch up to the once unbeatable mean and green machine.
After a red hot start to the 2009 F1 season that saw Brawn GP on the podium for eight straight races, their last two outings have been a little different with Jenson Button scoring a mere six championship points and Rubens Barrichello dropping three before his DNF in Hungary.
