Perez to stay in hospital until Monday
Sergio Perez will spend a further night in hospital following his high-speed accident in qualifying for the Monaco Grand Prix. The Sauber driver was taken to the Hospital Princess Grace after crashing at the exit of the tunnel and then careering side-on into the barriers that separate the run-off from the track at the chicane. Perez was assessed yesterday and diagnosed with only a bruised thigh and a concussion.
Study: Building Roads to Cure Congestion Is an Exercise in Futility
We hear it all the time: The road lobby insists that the only way to reduce mind-numbing traffic congestion on the roads they built is to build new roads. Federal funding gives huge blank checks to state DOTs, which tend to prioritize road building over transit, bridge maintenance or anything else. But mounting evidence suggests [...]

Power relieved to keep points lead
Will Power said the fact that he retained his IndyCar Series points lead was the only comfort he could take from a poor Indianapolis 500 for the Penske team. The championship leader finished only 14th in the series' premier race, having fallen to the tail of the field when he left his first pitstop with his left rear wheel not properly attached. As well as forcing him to do a lap on three wheels under yellow, the incident also caused brake damage that needed repairs.

Boullier: Engine equivalency unworkable
Renault team principal Eric Boullier thinks that the idea of having an engine equivalency formula in 2013 - with the current V8s running alongside the new 1.6-litre four-cylinder engines for one season ? would be unworkable. With a number of F1's manufacturers unhappy about the cost implications of switching to the new smaller engines in 2013, FIA president Jean Todt told them in Spain last weekend that he would be willing to offer a compromise of allowing a year's grace for the current power plants. But with tremendous complications from trying to ensure that both types of engines would perform the same, as well as there being little cost saving in the move, there has been some scepticism that the plan could be put into place.

A second rain shower on Indianapolis 500 Bump Day has left Danica Patrick in danger of falling to make the field for the race.

The ST is still being developed, and Ford has the ?spy? photos to prove it. Frequently, when automakers ?Americanize? models for the U.S. market?changing them to meet our safety and emissions regulations, but also to suit the perceived tastes of stateside consumers?it results in dumbed-down vehicles. For one recent example, head over to the Volkswagen [...]

Still, I?ve been reporting on [...]

The FIA is in talks with Ferrari to discuss whether or not the team can continue to use its new rear wing for the remainder of the Spanish Grand Prix weekend. The revised rear wing that ran in Friday practice features a higher than normal Gurney-flap on the rear - which Ferrari has managed to introduce through an interpretation of the slot-gap separator regulations. FIA technical delegate Charlie Whiting said on Friday that the governing body was looking into the wing design - and would decide before final practice whether it thinks the concept is legal

Dover International Speedway was the setting for seven days of grueling online truck racing and with nearly 1800 teams taking a green flag over the full week of action it made for some big headlines for some sim racers and heartbreak for others. When the virtual dust settled on the concrete high banks, it was Tanner Stoops standing tall among his peers as the winner of Week Two in the NiCCS. Stoops ran one race and finished third in the event which was the first of the second week of the season. Tyler Hudson and Joshua Laughton placed ahead of Stoops in the 110-lap affair but the [...]

Spain will be ?key test? for new rules
This weekend's Spanish Grand Prix will be the litmus test for Formula 1's 2011 regulations, reckons Williams technical director Sam Michael, with the Circuit de Catalunya posing the toughest challenge yet for moveable wings and Pirelli's tyre plans. The Barcelona circuit has traditionally produced processional racing, with its long high-speed corners and lack of heavy braking zones making it very difficult for drivers to overtake their rivals. But with the mixture of F1's Drag Reduction System (DRS) and Pirelli's push for multi-stop races having delivered a huge increase in overtaking opportunities, there is a good chance that this year's Spanish GP will deliver more excitement.

Kevin Magnussen scored his second British Formula 3 victory of the weekend at Snetterton this afternoon. The Carlin driver, who won race one, trailed poleman and team-mate Felipe Nasr at the start. Before Magnussen had a chance to attack, a startline clash between Will Buller's Fortec machine and the Sino Vision car of Hywel Lloyd sent Buller into the barriers and brought out the safety car.
