Highlights of 2010: Kubica?s Monaco Qualifying

Robert Kubica was mighty this year in the principality. All weekend he was there or thereabouts in all sessions with the Red Bulls, and many experts agreed that his pace was down to the fact that the Pole simply had no fear around the street circuit.

When Saturday qualifying was done and dusted, Kubica had set a time that was only just beaten by a ...

Covini C6W Supercar

It took longer than anybody would?ve expected or wanted ? 34 years in fact ? but the Covini C6W is finally taking shape and was in fact unveiled earlier this week. You have to say that those guys over at Covini don?t lack in patience and determination.

With so many delays that would put Gran Turismo 5 to shame, the six-wheeled supercar is gearing up for its close up after its last supposed release back in 2008 which was scuttled due to technical problems. The car had originally made an appearance at the 2004 Geneva Motor Show. In fact, the Covini C6W project was first brought to light as early as 1974, but because of one problem or another ? chief among them was the technology, or lack thereof at that time ? the C6W never got off the ground.

However, thanks to a joint venture between Covini Engineering and PMI SpA, Ferruccio Covini?s brainchild of a supercar is finally ready for its close-up. It might have aged quite a bit through all those delays, but in the auto industry ? as in life ? there?s an adage that we always say that the C6W can proudly hold on to: better late than never.

Details after the jump.

My Brazilian Grand Prix review

Hello everyone, the Brazilian Grand Prix was not a great race, but it was a hugely significant one.

Congratulations to Red Bull for winning the constructors' championship, a new star is born in Williams's Nico Hulkenberg, McLaren seem to have lost the plot, and it's all set for a thrilling finale in Abu Dhabi.

I went to the Beaulieu Museum to film my thoughts on the race and you can watch it here.
