Fans of all things Lotus are heading to Norfolk on Sunday for what should be one of the most entertaining racing-themed events of the summer.
Nico Rosberg topped the timesheets for Mercedes GP at Barcelona today, just a day after his team-mate Michael Schumacher said he didn’t feel the team was in a position to win races – and then declared he had been wrong.
Williams rookie Nico Hulkenberg narrowly beat double world champion Fernando Alonso to the unofficial timesheet’s top spot during today’s testing at the Circuit de Catalunya.
First there was practice, almost entirely rained off, leaving a number of rookie drivers with no useful experience of the testing Suzuka circuit. Then there was qualifying, with three heavy crashes and five grid penalties. What is left for the race itself?

The rain stayed away from Spa during qualifying for the Belgian Grand Prix – but it made no difference as the grid was turned on its head anyway, with Force India’s Giancarlo Fisichella taking a shocking pole position.

Jenson Button shrugged off fears that the field had caught up with Brawn GP’s early-season pace to take a confident win at the Bahrain Grand Prix ahead of Sebastian Vettel and polesitter Jarno Trulli.
Toyota will try to become the third team this season to take its debut victory with a 1-2 finish after Jarno Trulli and Timo Glock secured the front row in qualifying for tomorrow’s Bahrain Grand Prix.
Another Sunday, another pole position for Jenson Button as he fended off Jarno Trulli and dominated the rest of the field to set the fastest time in qualifying for the Malaysian Grand Prix.
