Lewis Hamilton has driven home his Formula 1 World Championship credentials by coming from behind to triumph in the German Grand Prix at Hockenheim, after a bold strategy from his McLaren-Mercedes team left him with a job to do - a job he fulfilled to perfection.

Fernando Alonso has expressed his fears that the forecast rain for the Monaco Grand Prix weekend - potentially in the race - will cause chaos in the first event to be held around the Principality in almost a decade in the absence of traction control.

IndyCar's latest new winner Danica Patrick has dismissed criticism from a former world champion that she is not good enough for Formula 1, by insisting she is 'dead set' on making the move into the top flight in the future.

Despite taking her maiden IndyCar Series success in Motegi last weekend, Danica Patrick does not possess the necessary talent to make the move across to Formula 1 - that is the view of former triple world champion Nelson Piquet.

Nelson Piquet Jr was introduced to historic racing at the annual Goodwood Revival Meeting in the UK, and the young Brazilian certainly enjoyed the action. Piquet was one of the stars of the two-part, 29-car St Mary's Trophy race, which took place at the world's largest historic racing festival.
