VIDEO: Schumi explains The Mercedes W03's Steering Wheel

A Formula One car's steering wheel is the proof of how complex modern F1 cars have become. The "device" its self is a masterpiece of engineering, it allows drivers to adjust or activate all sorts of embedded electronic systems from engine torque differential and the pitlane speed limiter to KERS and even radio communication.. And who else than Michael schumacher can explain to us how the F1 steering wheel works? (except the people who designed it, the people who tested it and every other driver who speaks english on the grid, but you see the point right?..)

VIDEO: 2012 IndyCar Season Preview

I know that all eyes are focused on F1 right now, especially after an exciting season opener in Melbourne last week! But things are getting interesting in Indy Racing as well and they might be worth your attntion. This season, turbocharged engines will be back and the cars are totally different from last year's both technically and aesthetically. Rubens Barichello will be joining the paddock as well, so let's see if his long F1 career will help him get used to the new cars faster than the other drivers. The 2012 season opener will take place at Saint Petersbourg next April. SO stay tuned!

R.I.P. Dan Wheldon.

First Livery of the BMW M3 DTM unveiled

It's not that easy to make green and blue look together on a race car livery. Of course, the green and blue "psychedelic" livery on the Porsche 917K from 1970 will always be my favourite. But i have to admit that BMW's take on green and blue for its first DTM racer isn't bad either. Unlike the Porsche, the colors on this livery are actually the official colors of the two major sponsors which are Castrol and the ARAL gas stations. The 2012 DTM season kicks off next april. In the meantime, you can check out the official 2012 DTM cars from Mercedes-Benz and Audi.
