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.

Jenson Button wants to stay at McLaren for the rest of his Formula One career. The 2009 world champion is due to open talks about a new contract with the team this summer. And he insists he does not want to go to any other outfit as he has gelled so well with McLaren. Button currently on a three-year contract that began at the start of 2010 said:

"When I finish racing here, I won't be racing in Formula One any more. "I'm very happy here. I want to enjoy my racing and I'm really enjoying my time here. I can't see any reason to be anywhere else."

Red Bull team boss Christian Horner has again played down the chances of his squad making a bid for Lewis Hamilton's services in the near future - and suggested that it would be unwise to pair the Briton and Sebastian Vettel in the same team.

When McLaren was struggling in winter testing there were suggestions that its poor form could prompt Hamilton to look elsewhere in the future - talk that Horner swiftly distanced Red Bull from.

Speaking to journalists at Silverstone today, the RBR chief said that pairing Hamilton and Vettel as team-mates would be inviting the same kind of tension seen between Hamilton and Fernando Alonso in their fractious season at McLaren in 2007.

Big engine, small car – this is the ultimate go-fast formula when it comes to building supercars, and one that’s given us some famous machines. The AC Cobra, the stunning Bugatti Veyron and even the original McLaren F1 all share that special balance between engine size and overall bulk. So, is Aston Martin’s new V12 Vantage ready to join this small, exclusive club?

On paper, you’d certainly think so! At 4,382mm long, the V12 Vantage is about the same length as a Ford Focus. Yet squeezed under the lightweight, heavily vented bonnet is the enormous 6.0-litre V12 that debuted in the incredible DBS. It delivers 510bhp and 570Nm of torque – enough to slingshot the newcomer from 0-60mph in 4.2 seconds and on to a top speed of 190mph.
