Paris: The more things change, the more they remain the same. At least, the first race of the 2012 Formula One season suggests so. Compared to last year there have been many changes in the sport. Regulations have been modified, new technical partnerships have been formed, some driver line ups are different, most of the cars themselves dont look the same as last year (step nose) and yet, at the...

Paris: Kimi Raikkonen continues to be an enigma. The 2007 world champion had a forgettable qualifying in Melbourne on Saturday as he could only manage an embarrassing 17th place on the starting grid for the season-opening Australian Grand Prix. The reason it was embarrassing was because his teammate - and near rookie - Romain Grosjean produced an outstanding performance to clinch third place, trailing the two McLarens by just 0.4...

Melbourne: Romain Grosjean provided the shock of Saturday's qualifying session at the Formula One Australian Grand Prix, rocketing his Lotus to third place and providing a salutary lesson in persistence and self-belief. When the Frenchman departed Formula One after a brief, error-strewn spell in 2009, it was hard to envisage him ever returning. Yet three years later, he found himself posing for photos in pitlane Saturday, having come within four...

Melbourne: Former world champion Kimi Raikkonen, returning to Formula One after two years away, failed to get through the first phase of qualifying for the season-opening Australian Grand Prix on Saturday. The Finn, who won from pole position for Ferrari at Albert Park in 2007, lost control of his Lotus on a corner on his final flying lap and the detour onto the trackside grass cost him a place in...
