Mad About Cars

Sebastian Vettel became the youngest Formula 1 champion in history with victory in the final race of the season.

Sebastian Vettel led from start to finish in the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix to be crowned the 2010 Formula One world champion.

The German had to fend off a fast-starting Lewis Hamilton into the first turn – the Briton needing a win and a miracle to reclaim the title – but came out in front, and was able to manage a comfortable advantage as the Red Bull RB6 again proved to be the car to have.

The final margin was four points, with Alonso ending the season ten ahead of Webber, who only just survived being overhauled by Hamilton. The Spaniard vowed to bounce back next season having won as many races as his young rival but, having had a taste of top spot, Vettel will be a hard man to beat.

For everyone who loves their fast cars will love F1 and Sunday marked the start of the season in Bahrain. With 24 cars lined up on the grid and many new drivers and teams it made way for a great race many with their eyes on the return of Michael Schumacher to the track.

The new rule of no re-fueling has been criticised by many as some have suggested that it makes it impossible to overtake unless someone makes a mistake.

The Ferraris of Fernando Alonso and Felipe Massa took first and second place with Lewis Hamilton taking third spot to get a podium finish.

Five times World Rally Champion Sebastian Loeb confirmed that he’s ready to try his luck by racing a Formula One car instead of the WRC:

If Toro Rosso need a driver I’d love to help out.

Sports Daily l’Equipe was interviewing the French driver who made a Citroen’s Xara WRC a legend by winning in it five time in the row. He also mentioned that as long as the F1 and Rally calendars won’t overlap he is available for Toro Rosso. The Red Bull team was doing some tests last year using the French driver in Barcelona.

But the good news is that there is no way Sebastian Loeb could start racing in F1 and forget about WRC, according to Citroen’s Rally boss Oliver Quesnel. At least for this season.

Now we don’t like accidents at all but when it turns out to be a sleepy driver on his way to Hyundai Heaven we cannot help but spread the shame – luckily everyone’s ok in this one!

This Lambo is obviously the perfect shape to be shunting SUV’s in the air as its nose dives under the rear bumper of this Hyundai Santa Fe on a freeway somewhere near Seattle, U.S.A.

The Lamborghini Murcielago holds up well considering there’s a few tonnes bursting through the windscreen…!

I wonder if he’s learnt his lesson!!! Ouch!!
