The team did not say how big a stake Lowe had taken or where it had come from, with details expected to be made known at a later date. The Briton, who started his Formula One career at Williams in 1987, also joins the board of directors and will run the business with deputy principal Claire Williams and chief executive Mike O’Driscoll. “This is a game changer for us and once again makes us extremely excited about this team’s future,” said Claire Williams. The Briton had been on ‘gardening leave’ from Mercedes, who have already replaced him with former Ferrari technical director James Allison. At Mercedes, Lowe played an integral role in the team winning the last three drivers and constructors’ world champi- onships. Before that he won titles with McLaren and Williams. Mercedes have won 51 of the 59 races since the 1.6 litre V6 turbo hybrid power units were introduced in 2014.

    Feet Up Friday – There aren’t enough bobbleheads in the world Christine: We’ve just had two back-to-back races and now we’ve got back-to-back Feet up Friday’s, this almost never happens anymore. Mr C: It feels like we are underway, the season is go and it’s been non-stop from the first green flag of the year. This is the first break we’ve had, a little bit of downtime for Sidepodcast, but still we are recording a new show for you, that’s how hard we are working this year. Christine: But after two races in a row we’ve got three weeks off now and then there’s another two races and then there’s another three weeks off, it’s just weird scheduling this calendar. Mr C: It’s a crazy calendar, but it makes sense for the people who have to endure it. If you are a Formula 1 team who has to pay personnel to go off overseas, back-to-back races makes a lot of sense. You can cram in a lot of action, you can cram in a lot of racing in a fortnight, and then you can get back to base and save yourself a lot of money and in these troubled economic times, that is essential, so you can’t hold in against… you cannot hold the calendar against the people who have to go out there and live it. Christine: No. And having three weeks off gives us plenty of time to ponder everything that happened in Malaysia because my goodness that was a controversial race.

    Press Release OCTOBER 06, 2013 Podium lock out for Renault power in Korean Grand Prix Sebastian Vettel wins Korean Grand Prix for Infiniti Red Bull Racing­Renault, four seconds ahead of Kimi Raikkonen. Lotus F1 Team’s Kimi Raikkonen and Romain Grosjean finish second and third to make podium 100% Renault powered. Third all­Renault powered podium this season. Vettel has led 209 of the past 213 racing laps. Vettel’s win gives him a mathematical chance to seal championship in Japan. Renault­powered drivers locked out the podium in today’s Korean Grand Prix, with Sebastian Vettel (Infiniti Red Bull Racing) winning the chaotic race from Lotus F1 Team’s Kimi Raikkonen and Romain Grosjean. The perfect podium result is the third time this season that the podium has been 100% Renault­powered.* Vettel – whose pole position yesterday took Renault’s total of F1 poles to 208, equal with Ferrari’s record – opened up a comfortable lead at the start ahead of Grosjean, who had jumped ahead of Hamilton on the first corner. The pair built up a cushion of several seconds over the battles behind and were able to pit and rejoin in formation. Vettel remained in front despite two different safety cars but Raikkonen got the jump on Grosjean before the second safety car period. The Finn had a standout race from P9 on the grid, overtaking Rosberg, Hamilton, Alonso, Hulkenberg and finally his team­mate to score his second consecutive podium. Mark Webber started from P13 as a result of a grid penalty but quickly found himself into the top ten racing with Alonso and Raikkonen.

Philadelphia extended the League’s longest active win streak and matched the second-longest such run in the NHL this season, trailing only Buffalo’s 10-0-0 stretch from Nov. 8-27. * Hart became the fourth goaltender in NHL history to record seven or more consecutive wins before his 21st birthday. Philadelphia’s 20-year-old netminder now sits one game shy of matching Jocelyn Thibault for the longest such streak in NHL history. * Hart became the fourth rookie goaltender in franchise history to post a personal win streak of seven or more games, joining Pelle Lindbergh (9-0-0 in 1982-83), Bob Froese (8-0-0 in 1982- 83) and Pete Peeters (7-0-0 in 1979-80). There have been 17 different rookie goaltenders in NHL history that have won eight or more consecutive appearances, with Martin Jones the last to do so in 2013-14 with the Kings (8-0-0). * Overall, Hart improved to 10-5-1 in 16 career appearances. Since 1990-91, only five NHL goaltenders have recorded more wins before age 21: Steve Mason (33), Thibault (28), Carey Price (24), Dan Blackburn (20) and Jim Carey (18).
