Trulli pins hopes on steering update
Jarno Trulli hopes that an updated power steering system planned for the Hungarian Grand Prix can help rescue his season with Team Lotus. The Italian has struggled all year to get comfortable with his feeling in the car, and an ongoing lack of confidence in the power steering design has left Trulli unable to push it to its limits. The Hingham-based outfit has made several modifications to the system to try and help Trulli but, having failed to overcome all his problems, another new version will be tried out at Budapest

On Sunday, however, the Sauber rookie put on a strong performance to finish in seventh place, and he is confident he is now back in full form

Webber: Pole not ?reply? to rules row
British Grand Prix pole-winner Mark Webber denied that there was any extra satisfaction from the result because of the controversy over rule adjustments this weekend. Red Bull team boss Christian Horner had argued that the champion squad would be at a "disadvantage" after the FIA ruled that the Renault-powered teams could not continue to run 50 per cent throttle opened under braking after all. But that did not stop Webber and team-mate Sebastian Vettel wrapping up yet another all-Red Bull front row at Silverstone

Ferrari team boss Stefano Domenicali is optimistic that a settlement will be achieved in the row over off-throttle exhaust blowing that has dominated the British Grand Prix weekend. The Italian team and Sauber - which uses Ferrari engines - were the only two outfits which refused to agree to the FIA's offer to return to the pre-Silverstone rules situation when it was discussed in a meeting this morning. After a weekend of arguments over the rules clampdown and associated concessions, the governing body had said it would allow the rules to revert to the Valencia specification, when off-throttle blowing was permitted but extreme engine maps banned, if all the teams agreed

Renault could drop forward exhausts
Renault is considering abandoning its forward-facing exhaust concept in the wake of the clampdown on blown diffuser use, AUTOSPORT has learned. The Enstone-based outfit is unsure about how big an impact the ban on off-throttle use of blown diffusers will have on its car - with the R31 having been built around the forward exhaust concept. But amid worries the regulation clarification could dramatically hurt its form, Renault has designed and built a more traditional rearward exhaust layout - which it tried out during a recent straight-line test at Duxford.

Qualifying saw Wood join Sheehan on the front row and, right from the drop of the green flag, the two teammates battled for the top spot.� Racing throughout the whole field was intense from the get-go as dirty air made it very difficult for anyone to make a pass even if they had the faster car.

Markus Winkelhock and Marc Basseng moved into the GT1 World Championship points lead by taking a comfortable win in the Navarra qualifying race. Basseng had followed the sister All-Inkl Lamborghini of Nicky Pastorelli in the early stages, relentlessly looking for opportunities to pass his team-mate. He had to wait until the pitstops, when coming in immediately to hand over to Winkelhock worked perfectly, with a quick out-lap for the erstwhile DTM racer putting him into the lead ahead of Pastorelli's partner Dominik Schwager when the second Lamborghini pitted a lap later.

Marquez takes Moto2 pole in rain
Marc Marquez took his second Moto2 pole position in a hard-fought wet qualifying at Mugello. The track was never dry enough for slicks, but did get increasingly quick as the session progressed, which meant a constant stream of changes at the front in the final stages. Marquez hit the front in the closing minutes, was usurped by Alex de Angelis, and then fought back with a 2m05.312s right at the end to take pole by half a second

Vanthoor takes first win in epic race
Laurens Vanthoor overcame a clash with Signature team-mate Daniel Abt to take his maiden F3 Euro Series victory in a frantic wet/dry race at the Norisring. Belgian Vanthoor was as much as 41 seconds adrift of the lead around half distance, as Roberto Merhi (Prema) and Marco Wittmann (Signature) charged off into the distance on wet tyres while the track was still damp. Most of the field had initially opted for wets on the grid, but everyone except Merhi, Wittmann, Carlos Munoz and Sandro Zeller changed to slicks before the start.

Rossi hoped for better at Mugello
Valentino Rossi admitted after qualifying 12th at Mugello that he had hoped Ducati's problems would be less apparent at its home track. With Rossi a seven-time winner at the circuit in MotoGP and Ducati having tested its 2012 bike - an 800cc version of which Rossi is now using - at the track, there had been optimism that this weekend would see an upturn in Ducati's fortunes. Rossi felt that had qualifying not been spoiled by rain, he would have been able to improve his position - but not by enough to be content

Tyre choice did not hurt spectacle
Pirelli believes that even a more aggressive choice of tyres for the European Grand Prix may not have been enough to help make the Valencia race a thriller. The Italian tyre manufacturer elected to bring its more conservative medium compound this weekend because it wanted to run it in race conditions before the British GP - and the easier time that drivers had with tyre degradation helped contribute to a less exciting race that has been the case at other events this year.

Red Bull: Drivers are evenly-matched
Red Bull Racing's head of car engineering Paul Monaghan believes that the level of competitiveness at the front of the grid is exaggerating the difference between Sebastian Vettel and Mark Webber. Webber has come under pressure for failing to match Vettel this season, leaving him 77 points adrift of his championship-leading team-mate. But Monaghan believes that there has not been much between the two drivers this year.
