Ross Brawn

Jenson Button has pointed out that Brawn GP's 1-2 result was the result of teamwork, not just behind the scenes at the team's Brackley factory, but also on the pit-wall when it came to taking vital strategic decisions during qualifying and the race.

Eponymous team boss Ross Brawn has played down suggestions that Jenson Button is buckling under the pressure of leading the Formula One world championship, claiming that even seven-time champion Michael Schumacher showed signs of tension in each of his title-winning campaigns.

Jenson Button just needs to loosen up a bit, the constant scandals and controversies are damaging Formula 1 and Valentino Rossi is an 'extraordinary talent' who 'wouldn't fit in' amongst all the political wrangling and in-fighting so prevalent in the top flight - those are the views of Nigel Mans

Injured Ferrari star Felipe Massa has revealed that the blow he received in qualifying for the Hungarian Grand Prix back in July was a mere millimetre away from leaving him blinded - as doctors claim the Brazilian will return to Formula 1 'even stronger than before'.

Formula 1 World Championship leader Jenson Button and countryman Lewis Hamilton have both retired from the Belgian Grand Prix on the opening lap, after being caught up in a chain reaction m?l?e that caused chaos at Spa-Francorchamps.

Jonathan Neale has insisted that McLaren-Mercedes is under no false illusions at Spa-Francorchamps ahead of the Belgian Grand Prix this weekend, well aware that the race is likely to signal the end of the squad's current purple patch of form.

The post-qualifying fuel weights ahead of the European Grand Prix this weekend suggest that Sebastian Vettel should be worried, that Rubens Barrichello is arguably in the box seat - and that Jenson Button could just be about to get his faltering championship challenge back on-track under the Span

Luca Badoer was caught speeding in the Valencia pit-lane four times on Friday during the opening two free practice sessions for the 2009 European Grand Prix, it has been revealed - as the Italian proved to be quicker in the pits than out on the track.

F1 returnee Luca Badoer has shrugged off suggestions that he will be swiftly ejected from the cockpit of Felipe Massa's Ferrari should he fail to perform - arguing that the drive is his for as long as the Brazilian remains out of action.

Though paddock speculation has linked him to a comeback in the Italian Grand Prix at Monza in just under a month's time, Ferrari star Felipe Massa has said that a more realistic aim may be to return to the F1 starting grid for his home race at Interlagos in October.

Rubens Barrichello has confirmed that Felipe Massa appears to be well on the way to recovery after visiting his fellow Brazilian at home during the extended break between Formula One grands prix.

It's that time of year again.

Michael Schumacher's former paymaster Eddie Jordan has suggested that the seven-time world champion must have had 'rocks in his head' to have flirted with bike racing - as he argued that the German's announcement that he is no longer to return to F1 competition after all has left fans feeling 'ro

Global music superstars Beyonce, The Black Eyed Peas, Simple Minds, ZZ Top and N.E.R.D have all been lined up by F1 supremo Bernie Ecclestone to rock the weekend of the Singapore Grand Prix next month - though ticket sales for the island city-state's second race are still struggling to get off th

F1 world championship points leader Jenson Button refused to enjoy a relaxing break from on-track action, instead taking part in the Mazda London Triathlon as part of his schedule between the Hungarian and European grands prix.

Ross Brawn has acknowledged that safety in motorsport needs to be urgently looked into in the wake of three disturbing incidents in the space of the last seven days - one of which claimed the life of Henry Surtees - but he warned against over-reacting and 'making the situation worse'.

In 1997, Damon Hill looked set for an entirely unheralded victory for Arrows in the Hungarian Grand Prix, having endured up until that point a desultory season as reigning F1 World Champion.
