Ferrari is now working flat-out on the development of what it claims is a 'very innovative' 2012 car, even though it still holds out some hope that it can haul itself back into this year's championship fight.

Fernando Alonso's recent run of good form, which included victory in the British Grand Prix, has put him 89 points behind championship leader Sebastian Vettel and his only realistic hope of closing that gap down dramatically is if his Red Bull rival hits some trouble.

Ferrari team principal Stefano Domenicali says his team's approach right now is on simply trying to win each grand prix, and then in a few race's time the outfit can take a better look to see if there is still a chance of the title.

Meanwhile, he openly admits that the real effort at Maranello is on delivering a much more aggressive car design for next year, having realised the team was too conservative this season.

Silverstone bosses hope to sign off plans for a major redevelopment plan of the home of the British Grand Prix on Friday, as they continue a push to find investors.

With the second phase of Silverstone's redevelopment - focused around the new £28 million 'wing' pits and paddock complex - now complete, attention is shifting to a wider update that will include hotels, a new kart track, music arenas, car showrooms and experience centres.

The board of Silverstone Circuit hopes to approve the scheme at a meeting ahead of the British Grand Prix, before it is then sent to the local authorities over the next few weeks for approval. It is hoped that the plans can then be signed off fully later this year.

Before the plans can progress, however, Silverstone's owner, the British Racing Drivers' Club, needs to find investors to fund the project.

Silverstone's managing director Richard Phillips said: "It won't happen overnight and it will require funding.

Almost 80 years after its introduction, the Bugatti Type 35 remains one of the most iconic and historically significant cars to have ever raced. Without doubt, the Type 35 was responsible for Bugatti's rise to the heights of 1920s Grand Prix racing and quickly became the most dominant participant of its era.

The Bugatti Type 35 is renowned for its featherweight chassis and low center of gravity. These factors combined made these relatively diminutive GP cars extremely manoeuvrable, especially on short tracks.

The Bugatti 35C was designed to take full advantage of the new 2-liter formula and over the following years proved nearly unbeatable. The small- displacement, 8-cylinder, roller-bearing engine allowed for a much higher redline, the blower provided power throughout the rev range, and the handling was simply phenomenal. Those intimately familiar with Bugattis would argue that the 35C was the ultimate "kit" for a Grand Prix Bugatti, a perfect balance of power, weight and character.

Now, in a Ferrari market that's past its peak, he's hoping to sell a "spare" California spider for less than half that sum. The 43-year-old BBC Radio 2 DJ has placed his metallic green 1959 Ferrari 250GT long-wheelbase California spider with HR Owen Sports Cars of London.

Although the asking price has not been revealed, we understand the Ferrari-mad celebrity is hoping for offers in excess of £2 million. Asked why Evans was selling the car, Owen Rothwell, marketing manager of HR Owen Sports Cars, said: "He has got nine other Ferraris so he might need the garage space if he's thinking of getting into something else."
In May 2008 Evans paid a reported £5.6 million for a 1961 250GT short-wheelbase California spider that once belonged to Hollywood actor James Coburn.
