It’s not that a bubble burst is coming; It’s likely we’re still seeing purchases that, for economic reasons, people delayed making during the past few years. Analysts warning of another spike in gas prices for the “summer [...]

Ferrari still needs to make a 'massive' step forward with its car if it is to win the world championship this year, despite Fernando Alonso's second place in Spain moving him back to the head of the standings. That is the view of its team principal Stefano Domenicali who thinks that, although updates introduced at Barcelona have delivered as expected, much more progress is needed over the remainder of the campaign. "This has to be a push for all the engineers at home to make sure that we improve the car," Domenicali said about Alonso now being joint leader of the title chase with Sebastian Vettel.
