2013 Formula One entry list

The FIA has published a preliminary entry list for next year’s Formula One World Championship.

Perennial back-marker team HRT is missing, thought to be because current owner Thesan Capital has failed to find a buyer for the struggling outfit.

On the face of it, quite a few of the drivers are still officially ‘to be announced’, although in reality many of the seats have already been filled.

Sauber, for instance, has confirmed Nico Hulkenberg and Esteban Gutierrez, Force India is expected to retain Paul di Resta, Toro Rosso has signed Daniel Ricciardo and Jean-Eric Vergne, Caterham has named Charles Pic as one of its drivers and Marussia is keeping Timo Glock.

That potentially leaves four vacancies at Lotus (assuming that Romain Grosjean is not re-signed), Force India, Caterham and Marussia.

‘New’ Jensen Interceptor

There’s something very retro-chic about using a classic car as a daily driver, but it’s an activity that comes with the permanent risk that aged mechanicals might expire at any time. Hence the concept of regeneration by substituting ancient components with fresh replacements. Handling, brakes and reliability are all dramatically improved, while the outward appearance remains unmolested. Various models have received this treatment in recent years, including numerous Jaguars and even the Shelby G.T.500CR . Now it’s the turn of the Jensen Interceptor, a car originally built during the late 1960s and early 1970s. Jensen International Automotive , based in Thame, Oxfordshire, has just delivered the first of its Interceptor R models. And, with an annual production figure of 18 cars, it’s a product that will be very exclusive. In a process lasting around five months, each Interceptor R is totally rebuilt from a suitable donor car.
