The Renault Driver Development scheme is set to be relaunched by the Formula 1 team's boss Eric Boullier, this week's AUTOSPORT reports. Boullier wants to revive the junior driver programme, which previously supported the likes of Robert Kubica, Heikki Kovalainen, Lucas di Grassi and Romain Grosjean, and could include tests of an older-spec Renault F1 car.

Paul di Resta will end 2010 as the top DTM driver in the Castrol Rankings after sealing the title at Shanghai last weekend. The AMG Mercedes driver's second place in the season finale was not only enough to give him the championship, but it also moved him up a spot to 44th in the Castrol Rankings. His British compatriot Gary Paffett beat him to victory and sealed second in the championship at the same time, elevating him six places to 57th and making him the biggest climber in top 100.

The Jimmie Johnson dynasty in the NASCAR Sprint Cup series stretched to half a decade at Homestead-Miami Speedway Sunday as the most dominant driver the sport has ever seen won his fifth straight championship with a second-place finish in the Ford 400 season finale. As Carl Edwards motored to his second straight victory in as many weeks, leading 190 laps, Johnson fought back from early pit problems, settled into his regular routine and came on at the end to seal the title. For Edwards, the two consecutive victories came after a 70-race winless streak. "This is unreal," Edwards said in victory lane. "It's a great way to finish the season. I think the way we're going, if we can start like that, our Aflac team will have a shot at them next year. "To finish like this is unreal. It's just these guys not giving up. We don't give up. We've had just an unbelievable run toward the end of this season. It's just a great way to end the season." The championship battle was a nail-biting contest whose complexion changed time and time again throughout the 267-lap event.

Although Dale Earnhardt Jr., winner of 18 career Sprint Cup races, has now stretched his winless streak at Hendrick Motorsports to 101 races, that's only part of the reason for the massive shakeup announced Tuesday, team owner Rick Hendrick said Wednesday. "This was not a Dale Earnhardt ... this was not a move that we made -- this major a move -- because of Dale or his situation," Hendrick said Wednesday in a teleconference. "I'm excited about making all four teams better. We need to be better across the board. It was a move to make all four better." It's hard to think that a racing juggernaut like Hendrick Motorsports, with five straight Sprint Cup championships in the history books and gunning for six in a row next year, might be going downhill. But Hendrick said as much Wednesday in describing why he shuffled the drivers and crew chiefs among three of his teams and switched driver partners in the twin pairing arrangement he has for the four teams at the organization's sprawling Concord, N.C. complex. "I think we just kind of got complacent and other teams were getting stronger and stronger, and we were just not where we needed to be," Hendrick said. "We just were off this year. The 48 was off. And we needed to make a lot of things better.
