Filed under: Motorsports , Europe , Infiniti , Mercedes-Benz , Ferrari , Racing , McLaren In the two weeks it’s taken Formula One to move from Belgium to Italy, fleet-footed rumor has outrun the driver transfer market – Fernando Alonso can’t issue enough denials of a departure from Ferrari , McLaren isn’t sure what it wants to do with its drivers, Lotus has found out why it stinks this year and that the problem can’t be fixed this year, and Nico Rosberg is said to have donated a team-ordered six-figure fine to charity to atone for his Belgian waffling. Oh, and Lewis Hamilton regained his pole-grabbing form. That’s how the Mercedes AMG Petronas man found himself at the head of the grid for the Italian Grand Prix, ahead of his teammate Rosberg by a quarter of a second.

Filed under: Classics , Coupe , Performance , Auctions , Ferrari , Luxury With a week of lavish automotive events coming up centered around the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance in August, some of the highest profile auto auctions in the world are about to take place. Hearing about Ferrari Testa Rossas and 250 GTOs going for tens of millions of dollars during these events is commonplace, but Gooding & Company is bringing a unique Prancing Horse to sell in California that could be a record-breaker for the company. The car in question is the drop-dead gorgeous 1966 Ferrari 365 P Berlinetta Speciale with just 7,900 kilometers (4,910 miles) on the clock that’s pictured above, and it checks all of the boxes to make it incredibly desirable.

Filed under: Motorsports , Auctions , Ferrari , Celebrities , Racing There isn’t much in the world that can aurally match the screeching wail of a Formula 1 car at redline. We obviously can’t say whether or not the showmanship of starting this 1998 Ferrari F300 in front of the assembled masses at Barrett-Jackson and slowly taking it up to its 18,000-rpm redline had any effect on bidders, but it did, at the very least, result in a round of applause. This ’98 Ferrari F300 was driven 38 times by Michael Schumacher , and there was another round of applause for the driver, who’s currently in a medically induced coma and listed in stable condition after a skiing accident

Filed under: Motorsports , Coupe , Performance , Videos , Chevrolet , Porsche , Ferrari According to the crew at Motor Trend , we should think of the video below “as an addendum to Best Driver’s Car,” a test the magazine put together that elevated the 2013 Porsche 911 Carrera 4S above all others in the category of driving joy. It seems the brand-new 2014 Chevy Corvette Stingray wasn’t able to take part in the magazine’s official test, and neither was the Ferrari F12 Berlinetta . And so Motor Trend did the only logical thing: It procured both the ‘Vette and Prancing Horse as soon as it could, and put them both on track with the Driver’s Car-winning 911.
