Mercedes AMG's Lewis Hamilton has been declared the 2014 Formula One World Champion. He is the first Mercedes driver to win the title since the legendary Juan Manuel Fangio all the way back in 1955.

A senior Porsche executive has come out and denied claims that the company has canceled plans for a new supercar to rival Ferrari’s 458 Italia and McLaren’s 650S. The exec said the car is still on the cards but more mainstream models remain the priority.

Alfa Romeo’s CEO has confirmed the reveal of a new model next summer. The new model is tipped to be the long-awaited successor to the 159 small sedan.
