Formula One leader Briton Jenson Button will race with more aggression in a bid to secure victory in this weekend’s Belgian GP.
World champion Kimi Raikkonen lived up to his promise on Saturday when he claimed pole position for Ferrari for Sunday’s French Grand Prix.
As the sun rose and shone, at last, on the traditional Friday rest day at the Monaco Grand Prix, the lurid shadow cast by the Max Mosley sex scandal continued to eclipse even the best efforts of the drivers. It barely mattered that 23-year-old Lewis Hamilton had performed brilliantly to set the fastest time for McLaren-Mercedes in Thursday’s opening practice sessions.
World champion Kimi Raikkonen believes his Ferrari team are set to cement their recent resurgence by winning this weekend’s Spanish Grand Prix. As Formula One continues to reel from the controversy surrounding a sex scandal involving Max Mosley the leading teams have all upgraded their cars in preparation for the start of the ”European” season.
Defending world champion Kimi Raikkonen wants to erase from his memory bad results at one of his bogey tracks on Sunday by winning this weekend’s Bahrain Grand Prix.

World championship leader Lewis Hamilton this week rested at his hotel ahead of the weekend’s Formula One world title showdown, knowing he will need all his energy and focus to emerge triumphant from a three-way battle for glory. As the sprawling city of São Paulo buzzed with anticipation, the 22-year-old Briton and his main rival, Fernando Alonso, kept a low profile.
Fernando Alonso is refreshed and ready to step up his championship challenge as Formula One heads to Turkey this weekend. The 26-year-old Spaniard has been relaxing on holiday since the pit-lane controversy in Hungary three weeks ago and he is in optimistic mood going into his 100th grand prix.
Kimi Raikkonen led Ferrari to a one-two finish and back into the battle for this year’s Formula One world championship on Sunday when he won the French Grand Prix in emphatic style. The Italian team delivered their first one-two of the season and the first in 14 races since last year’s German Grand Prix.
