Maldonado boosted by Hispania test

Pastor Maldonado is convinced that his impressive Formula 1 test with HRT in Abu Dhabi was a big day in his career as he chases a Williams drive for 2011. The Venezuelan set a best time just under 1.3 seconds faster than Bruno Senna's qualifying lap for last weekend's Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, although the track conditions had improved significantly since then making a direct comparison difficult. He tests for Williams tomorrow as an evaluation for the race seat next year

Teams shake down 2011 GP2 car

The 2011 GP2 teams tried the series' new car for the first time in a shakedown at Paul Ricard this morning. The 12 squads completed 434 laps in total during three hours of running with the GP2/11, with each team having just one car to use at this stage. A variety of experienced GP2 drivers were recalled to carry out the shakedown, with sometime Hispania Formula 1 driver Karun Chandhok returning to his former GP2 squad Ocean for the day, and Adam Carroll driving for iSport.

Johnson targets Homestead win

Jimmie Johnson expects nothing short of a win next Sunday at Homestead in order to beat Denny Hamlin to what would be his fifth consecutive Sprint Cup series title. The reigning champion heads into the season-finale not leading the points for the first time since 2006 and carrying a 15-point deficit to Chase leader Denny Hamlin, who has won eight races this year to Johnson's six. Kevin Harvick also heads in with a good championship chance on Sunday as he trails Hamlin by only 46 points
