DRS, the Most Stupid Element of F1 - Lauda

It's no secret that ever since the new moveable rear wing was introduced in Formula 1, triple champion of the series Niki Lauda has never been a fan of it. According to the 62-year old Austrian, it does nothing but create artificial racing while making it more complicated for the drivers to operate all the systems related to F1 racing today.

Overtaking is something that should be decided by the drivers, not by the FIA flashing green lights in the cockpit telling them to fold their wings up or...

New Ford Fiesta ST Coming in 2012

A hotter version of the Ford Fiesta ST will go on sale late next year and will compete against Renault's brilliant Clio 200, the SEAT Ibiza Cupra and Volkswagen's Polo GTI, according to AutoCar. Most of you have probably already heard the rumors, but we will remind you that the car will send 182 horsepower to the front wheels.

The power will come from a 1.6-liter Ecoboost turbo engine, the same basic unit that is found in the four-wheel-drive Fiesta WRC car. It's about time that Ford launched...

Simoncelli Admits Fuel Issues with His Honda

Gresini Honda's Marco Simoncelli enjoyed a good start of the season this year, after qualifying 4th and finishing 5th in the Qatar GP. That, in addition to his good performances in testing this past winter, have given him a boost for the ongoing campaign, even though the Italian rider reckons things could go better in 2011.

However, one problem that he's forced to be confronted with is the fact that his size causes his Honda bike to eat up more fuel during the race. And although running out o...

It's hard to talk about all of the good things General Motors is doing these days without referencing the Chevrolet Volt - it is perhaps the most talked-about car on the scene, green or otherwise. In showing the world that highly efficient, practical cars aren't so far out of our reach, GM is preparing to launch a slew of fuel-sipping vehicles in the near term.

We've already spent time with the honest-to-goodness 42-mile-per-gallon Chevrolet Cruze Eco, but the next chapter of GM's efficiency story lies in Buick's eAssist mild hybrid system, coming to both its LaCrosse and Regal sedans later this year.

We recently had the chance to drive the 2012 Buick LaCrosse eAssist on the roads near GM's proving grounds in Milford, Michigan, and while some hybrid systems vastly change a car's overall driving experience, we walked away from our time in the Buick feeling as good as we ever have in a LaCrosse. The beauty of eAssist is that it functions in an almost entirely transparent manner, and that's a very, very good thing.
