Atlas F1 News Room Constantly Updated  Badoer Continues Testing at Fiorano Fisichella Aims to Win Again in Malaysia Davidson Lined Up for JV's Drive The Daily Grapevine Constantly Updated  Australian GP Paddock Gossip Greece Finds Site for Formula One Track Honda Engines for Red Bull Pressure and Progress: Interview with Gascoyne by Roger Horton  With a dismal 2001 season, the pressure is on at Benetton, and so is the case for technical director Mike Gascoyne. In an exclusive interview, Roger Horton talks to the man in charge of getting them back from the doldrums Behind the Scenes of The Fast and the Furious by Fred Topel  Another motor racing movie was released this month, but The Fast and the Furious is not about Formula One or any other 'circuit racing'.

Fred Topel talked to the makers of the movie - about their take on racing in society, their experience with these fast beasts, and what they think about the accuracy of rival movies

Roger Horton returns from the paddock at Magny Cours with a few insights and reflections on the weekend's events Surprise Surprise by Richard Barnes  It's like the plot of a cheesy Hollywood spoof. As the dust settles after each Grand Prix, Michael Schumacher and Ferrari's rivals pick themselves up from the debris, dust themselves off and sigh 'Well, at least it can't get any worse' - and then it does... Down with Downforce by Karl Ludvigsen  We've seen it this year: The 'tyre war' between Bridgestone and Michelin has caused a dramatic increase of the cornering speeds, and the predicted return of Goodyear in 2003 will raise them even more in a very near future. Karl Ludvigsen sees only one solution to stop that  Alain Prost sells 10% of his shares in Prost GP  Jackie Stewart is elected as new BRDC president  Herbert ponders retirement at the end of 2000
