Tim Sandtler: Duelling In The Park

An exciting season in the Formula Master series came to an equally exciting conclusion in the royal park of Monza. In the first race, cars went flying in all directions on the historic circuit and the number of laps where the safety car was not leading the way were in the minority. Tim was one of the few drivers who kept his cool and avoided getting involved in any of the

Tim Sandtler: Matching The Leaders For Speed

An exciting track, P3 in qualifying and a spectacular chase in Sunday’s race: Imola came so close to providing the long-awaited success for Tim. “Things were looking so good,” he says wistfully. “It’s all the more annoying to know that you could have been up there with the front-runners on your own merit.” But it wasn’t to be. In free practice, Tim immediately adjusted to the new track despite the

Philipp Eng: Already smelt the champagne

Spa-Francorchamps, one of the last real natural circuits, is, with moxie curves such as Eau Rouge and Blanchimont, a genuine driver circuit. It was exactly there that in the first race Philipp could show why he is, and not without reason, the incumbent winner of the Formula BMW World Finals. "I had already smelt the champagne," he said. Taking off from start position six, he had already moved up to

Tim Sandtler: First Breath Of Podium Air

As the season reached its halfway point in Estoril, Tim found himself on the podium for the first time in his Formula Master career. In qualifying, he already had the strong feeling that he and his team were starting to get things right. “The characteristics of the Estoril circuit are actually quite similar to those of Valencia,” says Tim. “The track surface is very rough and aggressive, so I had

Formula One news: Doubly Stupid For Hamilton

motorsport-magazin.com - For Lewis Hamilton and Kimi Räikkönen, the Canadian GP came to an abrupt end. Räikkönen and subsequent winner Robert Kubica stopped for the red light at the exit of the pit lane, but the Briton failed to notice and piled into the back of the Ferrari. Hans Joachim Stuck’s ironic take on the accident: “Surprising really because, coming from England, he should have realised you’re supposed to veer

Star-studded, glamorous and technically demanding – street circuits hold a special fascination for the motor racing world. One thing that all street circuits have in common is the virtual impossibility of staging an overtaking manoeuvre, particularly in rainy conditions when the risk of an accident increases dramatically. But that wasn’t going to stop Tim Sandtler doing

Michael Klein: Notching up the first points

Place: Pau (France) Dates: 30th May - 1st June 2008 Track length: 2.76km Results: 7th in the first race, 9th in the second What a chase through the narrow streets of Pau!

Tim Sandtler: Catch-up in the rain

Race weekends are a law unto themselves and every race track has its own peculiarities. Just two of the lessons that Tim will be taking away with him from the opening Formula Master event in Valencia. During the winter tests, Tim was up with the front-runners right from the start. Even when he briefly got behind the wheel for the first test in Monza, he was amongst the leading group.

Formula One news - Barrichello says his retirement is still a long way off

Philipp Eng - German Formula 3 - The fastest on the track

Philipp had actually been expecting his first Formula 3 weekend to turn out rather differently. With the two best test times on the Hockenheim circuit under his belt, Philipp and his HS Technik team-mate Sebastian Saavedra went into the two qualifying sessions amongst the favourites - and the double act lived up to expectations. Two front-row starts on the debut weekend - had Philipp been counting on that? Of course not:

Michael Klein - Debut with hitches

Place: Hockenheim (D) Dates: 11-13 April 2008 Track length: 4.57km Results: 21st (1st race) / 16th (2nd race) Mission accomplished.

Friday's qualifying was cancelled owing to appalling weather conditions. On Saturday, Michael had to cope with various problems from the start, and on Sunday, he took

Philipp Eng - German Formula 3 - Successfully making the switch

The time for testing is over. In Hockenheim this Monday, Philipp completed the last in a series of winter tests in which, as reigning Formula BMW world champion, he duly posted the best lap time, coming in four-tenths of a second ahead of his closest pursuer. Now he has the first race of this season's Formula 3 Cup to look forward to - once again at the Hockenheimring. How is Philipp

Bruno Senna - Nothing less than the title will do
