Land Rover Will Bid Farewell to Alphanumeric Names like LR2 and LR4?Eventually

In the next five years, Land Rover will change its global naming practice so that each model has just one name worldwide, and none of the names used will be LR2 or LR4.

Newey: Vettel wants to win in style

Sebastian Vettel's spectacular overtaking move on Fernando Alonso to take the lead of last week's Italian Grand Prix is proof that he wants to win the world championship in style, according to Red Bull chief technical officer Adrian Newey.

Newey believes that Vettel could have waited until the first round of pitstops to pass the Ferrari driver, but that the runaway world championship leader was happy to take the lead the hard way.
