Taking place at the Zurich Convention Center two days before its official theatrical release, the Swiss premiere of “No Time to Die” attracted a slew of local celebrities, Zurich Film Festival delegates and even Finnish racing driver Kimi Räikkönen, all of whom were eager to witness Daniel Craig’s last outing as 007.
The event marked the film festival debut for a James Bond movie, and the gathered audience rose to the occasion with no-nonsense opinions about the 25th instalment in the franchise.
“It was surprising, it was different, it was good,” Swiss TV host Sven Epiney, one of the country’s top presenters, shared with Variety after the screening. But with a run time of 163 minutes, “It’s a long, long movie.”

Shah Rukh Khan has agreed to become an Ambassador for Interpol's Turn Back Crime campaign to promote greater awareness of how each of us can have a role in preventing crime. The multi-award winning actor, the first Indian to be made an Ambassador for the global campaign, is lending his voice to help spread the message that all of society benefits when citizens respect the law and fight crime. "It's a very special honour to be a part of Interpol's Turn Back Crime Campaign as an Ambassador. As Mahatma Gandhi once said, 'I shall not fear anyone on Earth. I shall fear only God. I shall not bear ill will toward anyone. I shall not submit to injustice from anyone. I shall conquer untruth by truth. And in resisting untruth, I shall put up with all suffering, if I have to.'

Vettel dominates otherwise amusing Texan Trial
It was business as usual for first place with Vettel sweeping away into the distance, out of reach of any racing under the bright Texan sun. Behind him however there was some good racing and on-track action to help take the awful Abu Dhabi after taste out of our mouths.
Grosjean drove to a strong second place, holding off the tough challenge of Webber in the closing stages, whilst behind them Mercedes, Ferrari, Sauber, McLaren and even Williams all tussled for points, with some excellent action and back-and-forth overtaking moves through the first corners after the climb up the hill. For a second year in a row since its inauguration the Circuit of the Americas has proven itself to be an enjoyable venue, better than all the other recent additions to the calendar combined.

The Formula 1 season is coming to a close. With just four Grand Prix’s remaining ‘silly season’ has well and truly arrived. Rumours and speculation are rife, and teams are starting to announce who will be in their driver line-up for next year.
With Mark Webber retiring and Kimi Raikkonen leaving Lotus for Ferrari there is certainly going to be fair amount of movement in the market. Teams like Sauber who are struggling for funds might have to resort to signing paid drivers and others like McLaren might want a more experienced driver to take over from a relative rookie.
While we don’t know exactly what every team will look like next year, we’ve looked at all the reports and stories to put together a summary of who might be racing for them in 2014.

With the announcement this week that Felipe Massa will be leaving Ferrari at the end of the season after eight years with the Italian outfit there have been some great moments, both elating and heartbreaking. Starting out at Ferrari in 2006 with the mighty Michael Schumacher after a year as a test driver, following a strong beginning with Sauber-Petronas, Massa developed into a great driver, challenging for the championship in 2008 and taking 11 race wins, 14 pole positions and 15 fastest laps.
Against my predictions, Ferrari announced that Kimi Raikkonen is making a return to the Scuderia for 2014, leaving seven races for Massa with the Italian giants before he hopefully moves onto a new drive in Formula 1.
I really hope he secures a good one for next season, as I think he deserves it and has so much to offer the sport, and hope we can see more great moments of him in future.

Spanish-born German actor Daniel Brühl has been something of an indie cinema darling for a decade, now, following his breakthrough in the delightful Goodbye, Lenin in 2003. He came to the wider attention of English-speaking audiences with a superb turn in Inglourious Basterds, but 2013 looks to be the year in which he'll announce himself as a major, and prominent, talent. Later this year he plays Wikileaks spokesman Daniel Domscheit-Berg alongside Benedict Cumberbatch in The Fifth Estate, and it's also being rumoured that he'll be appearing in Michael Winterbottom's The Face of An Angel, based on the Amanda Knox murder trial.
Before all of that, though, comes his turn as 1970s racing driver Niki Lauda in Ron Howard's enthralling biopic Rush. Brühl's performance is dazzling,...

The Spa Grand Prix is the longest track in the F1 calendar with a total length of 7km per lap. Spa is famous for it’s multiple overtaking spots and famous corners such as Eau Rouge and Blanchimot. I personally love the Spa circuit as it always provides an exciting race.
Qualifying
The qualifying this year was a wet affair with some discrepancies in the usual starting order. Both Marussias and Giedo van der Garde managed to get into Q2 because of excellent tyre choices in the wet weather. This meant that both Williams and Toro Roso drivers were out along with Caterham’s Charles Pic and Sauber’s Esteban Gutierrez.
Q2 saw the exclusion of the other Caterham driver Giedo van der Garde in 14th, a career best for him, along with the two Marussias of Jules Bianchi and Max Chilton in 15th and 16th place respectively. Sergio Perez...

The Wall of Champions is perhaps one of the most recognisable walls in Formula 1. It has claimed the cars of many champions over the years such as Hill, Schumacher, Vettel and Jacques Villeneuve the son of the great Gilles Villeneuve whom the Canadian circuit is named after. Partly wet and partly dry, this race weekend was excellent.
Qualifying
Throughout qualifying there was a steady amount of rainfall which helped in mixing the grid up for the race. Q1 saw both Marussia and Caterham drivers out along with Romain Grosjean and Paul Di Resta again. A poor showing from the Force India team as Di Resta had to start out of position again. Romain Grosjean was also put to the back of the grid after he was given a 10 place grid penalty for his collision with Daniel Ricciardo in Monaco.

The classic street circuit played host to the sixth round of the championship and always provides an incident or two. Here is the roundup of what happened at the weekend.
Qualifying
Q1 saw Massa fail to set a lap after smashing into the barriers at the first corner. Ferrari tried their best to fix the car in time for qualifying, but the damage was too great. Jules Bianchi suffered car issues and would start in 21st with Massa in 22nd. Max Chilton secured 20th, with Gutierrez 19th, Charles Pic 18th and Paul Di Resta an unexpected 17th. He was unable to pit for a fresh set of intermediate tyres and subsequently lost out on Q2. Q2 saw Maldonado who had been fastest in Q1 only manage16th in his Williams with the Caterham of van der Garde gaining 15th, Caterham’s best qualifying result and he is now starting to show great promise.

The Circuit de Catalunya begins the start of the European F1 tour, with a small detour to Canada, and saw host to the 5th round of the championship. Spain is the home to a certain Fernando Alonso and the crowd were certainly out in force to cheer on their driver.
Qualifying
Qualifying saw the usual four cars drop out at the first stage. Giedo van der Garde out-qualified both his teammate and both Marussias to claim 19th ahead of Bianchi, Chilton and teammate Pic in 22nd. Surprisingly both Williams’ were knocked out in Q1 as last year’s winner Pastor Maldonado could only manage 18th behind his rookie teammate Bottas in 17th. Q2 saw both Saubers pick up 15th and 16th with Hulkenberg in front of newcomer Gutierrez. Jenson Button had a terrible qualifying session only managing 14th in the McLaren, not a place he wanted to be in. The...

Bahrain is currently in amidst with protests and civil unrest, yet as with last year the Grand Prix went ahead as planned. Security was increased dramatically around the circuit and it proved effective as no indecencies were reported. The circuit is again a high wear track much like China last week, so there was plenty of pit lane action. Two Drs zones and a multitude of overtaking spots made this race an excellent one to watch.
Qualifying
Q1 saw the battle at the back continue with Caterham finally managing to out-qualify the Marussia of Jules Bianchi. Charles Pic with some new upgrades was able to go nearly a second faster to secure 19th. However he was still half a second off the pace of Gutierrez in 18th and Maldonado, who was surprisingly evicted to 17th by Jean-Eric Vergne. Vergne narrowly avoided the first drop with his 16th place, behind the second Williams of Bottas.

The Chinese Gp has been on the F1 calendar for nine years and features a bit of everything. From some of the most technical corners to one of the longest straights, China has it all. The circuit features two Drs zones which should encourage a lot of overtaking throughout the race. Tyres are a big thing here as the circuit wears more on the front than the rear, meaning that teams have to plan their strategies to utilise the tyres as efficiently as possible.
Qualifying
Q1 saw both Caterhams and the Marussias drop out as usual. Jules Bianchi out-shined his teammate Max Chilton again by being almost a second faster. He is most certainly one to watch for the future. He is in the Ferrari program after all. Marussia have done some excellent work to get their car significantly quicker than the Caterhams. The other new boys to F1, Gutierrez...

The Malaysian Grand Prix usually doesn’t fail to provide a thrilling race. Last year we saw Fernando Alonso holding off youngster Sergio Perez to win in wet weather, and this time round we saw a slightly different picture. Plagued by controversy it was more the after story rather than the race itself grabbing the headlines. So let us delve into what happened over the weekend’s action.
Qualifying
Qualifying produced a mixed bag of results with it being dry for Q1 and the beginning of Q2, and wet for the rest of the hour. Q1 saw the usual suspects fail to qualify for Q2. Marussia won the battle of back end with Jules Bianchi gaining 19th nearly a second quicker that Charles Pic in the Caterham who could only manage 20th. Max Chilton wasn’t too far off Pic’s pace getting 21st and van der Garde occupied 22nd.

Infiniti Red Bull driver Sebastian Vettel has won the second grand prix of the year in Sepang, not too anyone’s surprise, however the talking points were the team orders prevalent in the top four.
First the team orders that were ignored. With Webber leading going into the final quarter of the race the drivers were told to maintain their positions with Vettel in second place, however on lap 46 the German snuck through and everything after that, they say, is history.
The “conflict” started earlier in the race when Vettel radioed the team to allow him to overtake the Australian because he was going “too slow.” The result was Webber pulling more than one second clear and Vettel becoming a deer in the headlights to the approaching Mercedes of both Hamilton and Rosberg.

Red Bull driver Sebastian Vettel has caused controversy at this weekend’s Malaysian Grand Prix after ignoring his team’s instructions to maintain formation and allow his partner Mark Webber to drive home to victory.
Webber led the race after the final pit stops and the drivers were told to hold position to the end of the race but Vettel passed Webber with only thirteen laps remaining. Britain’s Lewis Hamilton finished third ahead of his Mercedes team mate Nico Rosberg, who followed the instruction of his team to remain behind the former World Champion.
Vettel has apologised for the situation saying he did not hear the instruction but it hasn’t eased tensions in the Red Bull camp angering both his team and his fellow driver Mark Webber who was supposed to win the race. The decision was made to keep Webber up front late into the race but...

A new season brings a new look to Formula 1, slightly new rules, one less team and a host of new drivers. The stepped noses have gone! No more ugly cars for us to look at. Double Drs made famous by Mercedes is now banned for all the teams this season. As there is one less team this year, six cars instead of seven will be eliminated in each stage of qualifying which will still leave the final 10 to battle out for the pole position.
So let’s take a look at the drivers and teams for this year.

Lotus Racing’s Kimi Raikkonen showed exactly why he has been considered a title contender in pre-season with a solid win in Melbourne.
The 2007 world champion finished more than 12 seconds ahead of Fernando Alonso, whose Ferrari showed great pace in the dry conditions. Sebastian Vettel, who had started on pole, finished third.
Vettel’s Red Bull team will be disheartened by their lack of pace, struggling in particular with tyre degradation. “After a good two-three laps the tyres were falling apart,” said the third-placed German. “We couldn’t go as long as other people.”
It was a world away from the latter half of last season, where a Red Bull pole position had almost guaranteed a Red Bull win. Mark Webber, who had an awful start in what could be his last home Grand Prix, passed the chequered flag in sixth place.
Mercedes, too, will be slightly disappointed by the result.

After a break of several months, the start of the new Formula One season dawns upon us once again, with less than a fortnight remaining until the first race of the year in Australia.
Last season was, without a doubt, one of the most riveting few months of Formula One in recent history, giving the upcoming 2013 season a lot to live up to.
The first seven races were won by seven different drivers, from usual suspects like Sebastian Vettel and Fernando Alonso to first-time victors such as Nico Rosberg and Pastor Maldonado. It wasn’t until June that Alonso became the first driver his second race, and began to take a lead in the driver’s championship.
Alonso maintained his lead until race sixteen, when defending champion Vettel, after a poor start to the season, took advantage of his rival’s retirements in Belgium and Japan to usurp him, ultimately...

In October, Felipe Massa secured another season sitting in a Ferrari for the upcoming calendar – despite having a dismal start to the season, the Brazilian was rewarded for a string of improved performances, including a podium position in Japan. That was his first podium in 35 races. He has always been a number two in Ferrari colours, but does the 31 year old still have the pace to compete for one of the top 3 teams in the sport?
Massa’s career in red has been an eventful one to say the least: replacing fellow Brazilian Rubens Barrichello for the 2006 season at Ferrari, Massa landed himself a seat partnering Michael Schumacher in the German’s farewell year. Finishing on the podium in the European, French and Japanese GPs, plus victories in Turkey and is home race in Interlagos, Massa’s first season with Ferrari was fairly successful.

The last two races in this year’s season saw a brand new track for everyone and a classic which has been on the Grand Prix calendar for several years. Last week we saw F1 return to the USA at the new Circuit of the Americas in Austin, Texas. With the circuit being freshly laid it made the track very interesting to drive on as it offered little grip to the drivers. Qualifying wise Vettel managed to snatch pole from a very fast Hamilton, and the other title contender Alonso, could only manage 7th. The race as a whole was great. Lots of overtaking, and very large run off areas made it an interesting race with some great moves throughout. Hamilton managed to pass Vettel for the lead to clinch his fourth victory but it wasn’t enough to impact on the title standings. Alonso...

As we head into the penultimate round of the 2012 Fia Formula One World Championship, Red Bull can seal the Constructor’s Championship by scoring 4 points more than their nearest rivals, Ferrari. Their number one driver, Sebastian Vettel, can clinch the Drivers Championship if he can score 15 points more than Ferrari’s Fernando Alonso – this being that even if Alonso wins in Brazil and Vettel scores no points, he will still be champion based on having a superior number of race wins this season.
The general consensus is that the Circuit of the Americas in Austin, Texas, will favour the RB8. Sector 1 contains a section similar to the Maggots/Becketts sequence from Silverstone, whilst turn 17 features a triple-apex right hander, mirroring the famous Turn 8 from Istanbul.

An eighth different driver winning a race and this time it was the ever out spoken Kimi Raikkonen of Lotus. The Lotus team (formally Renault of course) hadn’t won a race since 2008, and it was Raikkonen’s first win since 2009 when he left to try his hand at rallying. He had mixed results in rallying so it is good to see the “Ice Man” back on top in F1.

The Fia have warned all the drivers about bad language during live interviews for the media. This comes about after both Raikkonen and Vettel swore in their post podium interview with David Coulthard. A spokesman for the Fia said there could be disciplinary actions in the future if another instance of bad language occurs during a live broadcast.
Caterham have a new Team Principal. Cyril Abiteboul has become the youngest team boss at just 35 years old. He’s younger than Michael Schumacher!

Kimi Raikkonen won the 2012 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix following Lewis Hamilton’s retirement and a late surge from Fernando Alonso’s Ferrari, his first win since the 2009 Belgian Grand Prix for Ferrari.
Raikkonen had looked quick all weekend – in practice, Lotus had displayed a strong race pace and the general consensus amongst the paddock was that Lotus were going to be a dark horse this weekend.
The same story showed again on Saturday however, as Lotus were again unable to deliver that single qualifying lap to put them at the front of the grid to challenge initially for the race win.
Following a poor start by Mark Webber, Kimi was able to jump into 2nd place before challenging Hamilton’s McLaren on the 2nd lap of the race. Meanwhile Alonso jumped Button for 5th place and then passed Webber for 4th.

With three races remaining and 75 points up for grabs, one thing is for certain – Sebastien Vettel and Fernando Alonso need to deliver this weekend.
Going into this weekend, Vettel is leading the Driver’s Championship by 13 points. 240 to Fernando’s 227. With 25 points for a race win, Red Bull can ill-afford any mistakes this weekend.
On paper, Red Bull have clearly the fastest car on the grid. They have endured a resurgent return to form in the last 6 races, with Vettel winning in India, Korea, Singapore and Japan with also a 2nd place finish in Belgium.
The season has been a difficult one for Red Bull – with the being new regulations regarding the infamous “Blown-Diffusers” from last season, they have struggled to repeat their dominant form from 2011. However, as the season has progressed, Adrian Newey and his team have managed to develop their car into a similar dominant force as they enjoyed throughout last season.

Sebastian is the only driver this season to win back to back races. That shows you how good a season this one is. Seven different drivers have won a race compared to last year’s five. Vettel also managed to win back to back races on four separate occasions last year, whereas this year he is the only driver to manage that feat. This shows how much more competitive Formula 1 has become.

Lewis seemed to have gained his winning ways back, and this could possibly have put him back into championship contention. Going into the race around the Marina Bay Street Circuit Fernando Alonso had a 37 point lead over Hamilton in the championship and almost had the luckiest Ferrari since the Schumacher era. Alonso has been the most consistent so far with only one non points finish caused by a certain Frenchman trying to fly a car. The Frenchman in question, Grosjean, was back to racing after his ban so could he hopefully have some success for a change? Either way, onto the only night race in the calendar.
Qualifying
Speaking of the Frenchman Grosjean, he set the fastest time in Q1 guaranteeing himself a place in Q2 alongside his teammate Raikkonen who also posted an impressive first session time. Q1 saw the familiar faces of Hrt, Marussia and Caterham dropping out at the first qualifying hurdle.

The summer break for the Formula 1 drivers is now over. They have had their time to relax and are greeted by one of the most historic race tracks in the calendar. Spa Francorchamps. The legendary circuit has been part of F1 for well over 60 years (in one form or another) and has always pleased the crowds with great racing, great overtaking and an occasional large incident. The race at the weekend was certainly all of these.
Friday practice is one of those things that you rarely watch. If there isn’t a good news breakfast show on or an early film you wouldn’t even know it was there. Spa’s was utterly washed out. Nothing massively interesting happened bar what could only be described as the longest pad I have ever heard a commentator do. Top marks to James Allen and Jaime Alguersuari (former Toro Rosso driver from 2009 to...

One of the biggest surprises of the 2012 campaign has been the pace of the Lotus E20.
When it was announced that 2007 World Champion, Kimi Raikkonen, was returning to the sport with Lotus, nobody imagined that he would be in a position to be challenging for podiums, let alone race wins, so early into his return.
That is not to say that Kimi was going to struggle to the same extent that Michael Schumacher would – after all, Kimi had continued to race in other categories of motorsport. However, nobody really believed that Lotus would be able to design a car that will put the Iceman towards the front of the grid.
Lotus, formerly Renault and Benetton, are a team with experience of producing cars capable of winning Grands Prix as well as World Championships, but have so far gone without a championship since Fernando Alonso’s win in 2006. Since then, the...

1. Determination
It has been no secret that Lewis endured a troubled 2011. Marred by issues away from the track as well as several on-track incidents, Lewis used his pre-season to regain his focus and determination for the season ahead.
He has made it publicly clear that he is not satisfied with winning just 1 world championship in his career and still regrets missing out on the championship to Ferrari’s Kimi Raikkonen in 2007, a poor 2009 McLaren, missing out on 2010 and a mixture of issues in 2012 with a dominant Sebastian Vettel.
“Yes. I can’t deny it, putting aside the fact that I’m very proud and grateful that I’ve had the chance to be competitive in a competitive car.
“But if I didn’t feel that, I wouldn’t be the driver that I am.”
“Every year, I feel like I’ve prepared myself and had the mental ability and skill to have won more but,...

Lotus finally proved they are a force to be reckoned with when their cars are working but they had no answer for Lewis Hamilton’s McLaren blitzing the Hungaroring to win from Pole. Kimi Raikkonen got close to Hamilton after a scrap with his team-mate but was held off by the 2008 Champion who took his 2nd win of the season to close the gap on Alonso before the Summer break.
Hamilton got away well at the start with Vettel having a nip at the Lotus of Grosjean but getting pushed out and overtaken by Jenson Button dropping the Red Bull to 4th. Grosjean proved to be a thorn in Hamilton’s side as he closed the gap quite quickly whilst on the softs but once he got close he simply couldn’t make the advantage count. Raikkonen wasn’t having any of that, letting everyone pit and running long on...

Formula One – they used to say it was boring. When the red Ferrari of Schumacher romped to his dozens of titles (so it seems) it was indeed tiresome, but not anymore! With the introduction of electronic aids for overtaking, a tightening of the rules, and the unpredictability of the Pirelli tyres in recent seasons the racing has improved and excitement has grown.
Although it is only the halfway stage there is reason to say the 2012 Championship is set to be the best F1 season ever. Here’s why…
7. Six Champions
With the return of Kimi Raikkonen, to join Jensen Button, Sebastien Vettel, Lewis Hamilton, Fernando Alonso and Michael Schumacher, the narrative at the start of the season was the unprecedented presence of six former World Champions. And boy have they not disappointed.

At a wet Hockenheim, Fernando Alonso stormed to pole for Sunday’s German Grand Prix. Sebastien Vettel will join him on the front row, while a five place grid penalty means Mark Webber will start eighth, with Michael Schumacher and Niko Hulkenberg making it three Germans in the top 4.
Jenson Button is 6th, Lewis Hamilton will be 7th, and Paul Di Resta will be 9th.
Q1 started dry but rain came down in Q2, and teams quickly moved from dry to intermediate, and finally full wet tyres. The lap times demonstrated the unpredictability that rain brings, especially when race day is set to be dry, as the teams are locked into their set up from the end of qualifying. Do they gamble with a dry set up that will make them slow in the race, or go for grid position hoping the notoriously poor weather forecasts that accompany F1 races turn out to be wrong?...

Did someone say Valencia is boring? Home favourite Fernando Alonso flew home from 11th on the grid to win the European Gp from Kimi Raikkonen. It was an action packed race, with Sebastian Vettel’s Red Bull building up a stunning lead before a safety car wiped that out and put Romain Grosjean’s Lotus right behind him.
However, Alonso had something different in mind and jumped Grosjean at the re-start with a very committed pass into turn 2. Vettel’s lead had disappeared with the safety car, but it got worse after the safety car released them to race, Vettel’s car deciding it had had enough and he stopped on track to give Alonso the lead.
Grosjean tried to chase Alonso down and was holding station well until he lost power with a faulty alternator and had to park it, but nicely finding a spot on the track that...

Well, Mark Webber is our default pole man after Schumacher is demoted with his penalty. He promised to take pole and win from 6th, but we shall see on that promise. Only Lewis Hamilton has won here after not starting from the top 3 in the last 8 years.
We wait for the lights to start the most star spangled Gp of the year, and we’re away! A lot of hubbub into the first corner as we have a tangle between Alonso and Grosjean, Grosjean slides sideways clipping Schumacher then wipes out Kobayashi. Maldonado and De La Rosa have a bit of a row and the safety car is out as they both retire. Safety car comes in as we head into Lap 4. Heikki Kovaleinen made a great start in amongst that row, jumping up to 13th in the Caterham.
Webber is starting to pull away from Rosberg now, they’ve already dropped Hamilton slightly.
