McLaren will not write 2011 off
McLaren has vowed not to throw the towel in on its chances for the remainder of the season, despite a disappointing British Grand Prix weekend. Both Lewis Hamilton and Jenson Button struggled for pace at Silverstone, and their fortunes did not improve much in the race - as Hamilton was slowed by the need to save fuel and Button was forced to retire after his front right wheel was not fitted correctly at a pitstop. And after team principal Martin Whitmarsh openly admitted on Saturday that McLaren was simply not fast enough at the moment, he has reiterated that there is unlikely to be a dramatic change in fortunes for the next race in Germany

Trulli pins hopes on steering update
Jarno Trulli hopes that an updated power steering system planned for the Hungarian Grand Prix can help rescue his season with Team Lotus. The Italian has struggled all year to get comfortable with his feeling in the car, and an ongoing lack of confidence in the power steering design has left Trulli unable to push it to its limits. The Hingham-based outfit has made several modifications to the system to try and help Trulli but, having failed to overcome all his problems, another new version will be tried out at Budapest

Parr: Diffuser row not bad for the sport
Williams chairman Adam Parr believes controversies like the one over the blown diffuser rules only increase the interest in Formula 1. The British Grand Prix was somewhat overshadowed by the row over the rules on diffusers, with the teams eventually agreeing to return to the original regulations as established before the Silverstone race. Although the controversy was criticised by senior F1 figures who believed it was hurting Formula 1's image, Parr denied it was bad for the sport.
