Spy Shots: Ferrari GT California


A disguised test mule snapped running development laps around the Ferrari's private Fiorano test track. The test mule could be Ferrari's highly anticipated entry level 2+2 GT, which the Italian marque's spokespeople have been denying.

Rumor has it the car under all that body cladding is running a 450hp direct-injection V8 in a body about 20 inches shorter than the 612 Scaglietti. The car is expected to be unveiled as the GT California at the Paris show later this year, but we hope to hear more about it before then.

Kimi Raikkonen Wins F1 Championship


Finnish F1 pilot Kimi Raikkonen wins his first F1 Championship. The whole world were waiting for Lewis Hamilton writing Formula 1 history to be the first rookie to take the championship, even after the McLaren team was disqualified from the constructors championship. But Kimi won twice in a row while Lewis stumbled, twice.
The "Ice Man" was smiling for the first time in this season of F1. Kimi: "It is very difficult for me to explain in words what I am feeling at the moment: it is an incredible emotion. Even when we went through some difficult times and it looked as though there was no way to fight back, we never gave up and this work produced its reward today.”
The Ferrari became the constructors' champion while Kimi gathering 110 points throughout the season. Both Lewis Hamilton and Fernando Alonso ending on 109 points, Lewis takes second place.
