We all know that seven-time Formula One Champ Michael Schumacher loves to race taxis to the airport. But apparently when he goes out for a drink, he lets the cab driver take the wheel. Schumacher has just produced this short spot in partnership with Bacardi to encourage responsible drinking. It will be shown internationally, though we doubt that means you'll see it on your telly in the states.

This year of Formula One racing brings us something new. Racing at night, what they will try for the Grand Prix of Singapore. But wouldn't it be much more spectecular of Bernie Ecclestone decide to send the cars into the snow? Just like Nick Heidfeld did on a frozen lake in St.Moritz, Switzerland last year?

A collection of videos that shows why Schumacher could NEVER been considered superior to Senna.

Working for Top Gear is a dream for any boy. Doing funny stuff with cars all day long is not the hardest job ever. But the ultimate thing would be driving a real Formula 1 car. And that is what Richard Hammond got do to. At first he needed some practice, because those cars cost a whole lot of money. But after a while it was time for the real thing. Mission accomplished.

Last Sunday, the city of Rotterdam was temporarily turned into a race track. Thousands and thousands (500k by police estimates) of people watched thousands and thousands of horse power thunder past.

Well, that was short-lived. Spyker announced yesterday that after the negative publicity surrounding the exotic automaker's credit worthiness, combined with its aim of staying afloat in the future, it may consider selling a portion, and possibly all, of its Formula One team.

Spyker's CEO, Michiel Mol, is currently contemplating buying the team, and as such, will be stepping down in order to avoid a conflict of interest. The company's vice-chairman, Hans Hugenholtz, will be taking the reigns as the acting CEO until a replacement for Mol is found.

Formula One supremo Bernie Ecclestone has ended speculation by revealing there will not be a 2008 US Grand Prix.

He is keen to stage races in other areas, especially Asia, and said no other US venue was in line to replace Indianapolis, its home since 2000.

"We didn't reach an agreement. Let's see if we miss America," he said.

Formula One supremo Bernie Ecclestone says there is "no way" Lewis Hamilton will be docked points in the Ferrari-McLaren spy row.

There have bean fears ahead of this weekend's British Grand Prix that the McLaren rookie, who has opened up a 14-point lead at the top of the World Drivers' Championship standings, could be penalised in the wake of the scandal which has rocked the sport.
