Scuderia Toro Rosso might not have scored any points in the Turkish Grand Prix, but both Jaime Alguersuari and Sebastien Buemi fought valiantly throughout on their way to finishing twelfth and sixteenth respectively.

Having had a disappointing qualifying, the team went for an unusual strategy, with our two drivers the only ones, apart from Hulkenberg, to start on the harder tyre, having ascertained that the softer one, while naturally being faster, did not seem to suffer significantly more on the degradation front. With Jaime, the strategy nearly delivered a point, because after he had built up a comfortable cushion over Liuzzi’s Force India, the team brought him in for fresh rubber for a second time. From that point on, our Spanish boy was flying and if he hadn’t been delayed by a lapped Hulkenberg and if the race had been a couple of laps longer, he could have caught and passed the two Saubers, lapping much slower than him. In fact, it’s some scant consolation that Jaime set the third fastest lap of the race; quite an achievement when you look at the quality of the rest of the field.

The bike fans may have been complaining there are always plenty of new innovative car designs, but not for the bikes. Here, we are bringing all smiles on you (with, perhaps, money out of your pocket). Seems like the carmakers recently move their interest into a bike. the whole Go-green concept might be one of the motivation. I am actually a bicyclist myself so this kinda excites me really…

VW's 'Bik.e'

China became the world’s largest automobile market last year at 13.6 million units (against 10 million sold in a depressed US) and the experts are saying it’ll be anything up to 25 per cent bigger by the end of this year.

Opened its door yesterday, the 2010 Beijing Motor Show is a great showcase.  Super crowded with new product – 89 new models, 75 of them for the Chinese domestic market. All eyes were on Ferrari, BMW, Mercedes and MG, as they will have one or two new models on show.

Jaime Alguersuari just missed out on a championship point after a steady drive by the Toro Rosso man in the Australian Grand Prix.

The 20-year-old Spaniard had enjoyed a long duel with veteran Michael Schumacher, who eventually pipped him to 10th place. Alguersuari, finished 11th, with a time of 1:29.832.

Sebastien Buemi’s race ended in lap two, as he was caught up in a crash involving Kobayashi and Hulkenberg. The Swiss driver was one of 10 drivers who pulled out of the race.

McLaren’s Jenson Button took the chequered flag, with a time of 1:35.296. Kubica was just behind him in second, followed by Massa, Alonso and Rosberg. Hamilton came sixth.
