2017 Formula One calendar revised

Next year's Formula One season is set to consist of twenty events. That's one less than in 2016, because of a failure to agree commercial terms for the German Grand Prix.

The latest schedule, which has been agreed by the FIA World Motor Sport Council, still incorporates a four-week summer break.

Sensibly, the Azerbaijan round won't clash with the 24 Hours of Le Mans, but unfortunately the British Grand Prix and the final day of the Wimbledon tennis championships are due to fall on the same date again.

Alfa MiTo TwinAir arrives

Image
The Alfa Romeo MiTo supermini is now available with the innovative two-cylinder TwinAir petrol engine. Although its capacity is only 875 cc, a turbocharger and the MultiAir electro-hydraulic valve control system mean it produces a respectable 83 bhp (62 kW / 85 PS) and 145 Nm (103 lb/ft) of torque.

Carbon dioxide emissions are only 98 g/km, a level that brings numerous benefits for UK drivers including zero road tax, a full discount on the London Congestion Charge and qualification for the lowest company car benefit-in-kind rate. Fuel economy is also decent and, according to the official figures, a TwinAir-powered MiTo will manage 67.3 mpg (4.2 l/100km) on the combined cycle.
