Alonso admits it's difficult to stay motivated - After a difficult year with the McLaren Formula 1 team Fernando Alonso returned to Renault in 2008. Even though the team might have showed him a warm welcome the situation within the team didn't get much better for Alonso. The team is struggling to score points in every race and the Spaniard has now admitted after just three races it is difficult to stay motivated. [GP Update]

Whaaa whaaa whaaa . . . what's up with this guy? All pay and no podium makes Fernando - well, slower . . .

Honda signs Stevens - Honda Racing F1 has announced that it has signed 16-year-old British karting star Will Stevens under a long-term driver support agreement. Stevens, who is managed by former F1 racers Mark Blundell and Martin Brundle, is currently racing for the TonyKart Racing Team in the KF1 class. [Grandprix]

Just who is this kid? With Lewis Hamilton's story now out, it looks like Honda have placed their bets in a big way on a 16 year old from Britain. Youngest future race winner ever in the making? Whoever he is, it certainly shows Honda's commitment to the future of their team in the sport bringing drivers up through their development program. Wonder when Marco Andretti's going to get his career behind the wheel of one of Honda's F1 cars . . .
