F1: Raikkonen struggling with brake-by-wire

Although the McLaren duo finished on the podium after Ricciardo’s disqualification, the Woking-based challengers had nowhere near the pace to mount a challenge to the Mercedes W05 piloted by Nico Rosberg. McLaren hope their chances of even better results will come after further developing the car. It is expected, well according to Ron Dennis at least, that the MP4-29 will be half a second a lap faster in Sepang trim as compared to Melbourne. He also mentioned that although half a second isn’t enough to challenge for P1, it should be enough to keep pressure on rival teams. Pictures used for illustration purposes only.

MotoGP and BMW M GmbH have proved to be perfect partners. This is underlined by the length of their cooperation: 2014 will be the 16th season. Whether on two wheels or four, the spectacular Motorcycle World Championship and the manufacturer of exclusive high-performance automobiles share values such as spearheading innovation, dynamics, highest quality and international commitment.  Ensuring the world's two-wheel drivers are as safe as possible at top speeds of up to 340km/h is MotoGP organizer Dorna Sports' main concern. The MotoGP World Championship gives BMW M GmbH the opportunity to present its areas of business to an international audience on a global scale at Grand Prix in 14 countries across five continents. The pioneering collaboration began in 1999. The year full reflected the upcoming turn of the century.   In the 250 cc class of the Motorcycle World Championship, a certain Valentino Rossi was crowned champion – he would later become the dominant two-wheel drive of the first decade in the new century. BMW M safety cars have been part of the race for points and titles in the Motorcycle World Championship since 1999.
