Webber not writing off Ferrari
February 24th, 2012
Mark Webber thinks it would be wrong to write off Ferrari’s chances of starting the Formula 1 season strongly, with the early form guide pointing towards Red Bull and McLaren as favourites. Although Ferrari has failed to shine in the first two pre-season tests, Webber knows that winter running can potentially count for nothing at the first race – especially since the team has a driver like Fernando Alonso on board. “As long as Fernando has a steering wheel in his hand he is always there,” said Webber.

February 24th, 2012
Andreas Mikkelsen extended his lead over Juho Hanninen through the first four stages of day two of Rally Azores. There was little to choose between the two Skoda drivers until Hanninen had a quick spin near the end of SS5, losing 10 seconds.
