I personally believe in team orders, but not under these circumstances, I think Ferrari made the wrong call at the German Grand Prix . To be completely frank, I think what they did was dreadful. Felipe Massa had a hell of a good race, he drove so much better than I ever thought he would and he deserved to be able to have a go. He was the moral...

I think it's essential to have the US Grand Prix back on the calendar in 2012, I just hope to God it's successful. Sadly, however, I'm not sure it will be.

The concern is that we could miss out on a fantastic season of motor racing. There are so many great drivers in competitive cars but it is near impossible for...

It's the start of a new season and this year I've decided to put some money down. I don't usually bet on Formula One, but this time round I thought I'd give it a go. It might not surprise you to hear that I went down to the betting shop with three drivers in my mind, Lewis Hamilton, Sebastian Vettel and Fernando Alonso. Alonso is my favourite for...

As I am leaving for Dubai and the Far East shortly, so now would be a good time to review the 2009 season, which ended in Abu Dhabi at the start of this month and look forward to the 2010 Formula 1 season.
I have already said that Jenson Button and Brawn GP were worthy winners of the driver and team championships, that last race...

Looking ahead to the Turkish Grand Prix over the weekend, Stirling’s Blog previews the race and comments on the Monaco Grand Prix which made Jenson Button a firm contender for the 2009 Driver Championship.
So Jenson Button won again, and Brawn took another 1-2, in the Monaco Grand Prix, and I think it was possibly the best performance...
