Hi everyone,

Welcome to another F1 newsletter, catching up with the news from the last few weeks, and a recap of some recent articles on the BellaOnline site.

In the news:

With the season finally over, we have two champions. Lewis Hamilton managed to achieve his goal of World Driver’s Champion, and is now talking about getting two more titles. Ferrari continued their strong form by taking the constructor’s title.

Already, teams are moving on to next year, with the upcoming test featuring a lot of potential drivers having a go. Lucas di Grassis will be sitting in the Honda in the hopes of a race seat, and Bruno Senna will have another go in the Toro Rosso.

Force India have had a major management reshuffle with team owner Vijay Mallya taking on a lot of the responsibility. Mike Gascoyne and Colin Kolles have argued previously, but are now both out of a job!
