Sir Jackie Stewart has hit out at Formula One, saying there needs to be more consistency as highlighted by the "disorganised function" at the title decider.

Days after Sebastian Vettel was crowned the 2012 World Champion, questions were raised about whether or not he had overtaken another car under yellow flags in Brazil.

The Red Bull racer's move was eventually deemed legal but only after days of headlines that cast a shadow over the sport.

"Was the judgement of yellow and green flags right or wrong in Brazil and why would that have to come up on a Wednesday or Thursday?" Stewart told City A.M.

"That is a huge statement of a disorganised function that it should come up then.

Mercedes-Benz says the 2014 engine regulations are "about putting the motor back into motor sport".

The current 2.4-litre V8 engines will be replaced by 1.6-litre V6 turbo power units, with the term also encompassing the KERS, new ERS (Energy Recovery System), battery and electronics. Mercedes is attempting to make a unit that delivers 750bhp - the same as the current engines - but uses a maximum of 100kg of fuel compared to the current level of 150kg.

John Surtees says there needs to be an overhaul in how young drivers make their way into F1 to ensure that the most talented succeed.

As belts are tightened around the world, more and more teams are turning to drivers who have personal sponsorship deals to fund their careers.

Surtees, though, believes a system needs to be put into place to ensure that talent finds a way to the pinnacle of motorsport.

"What we need is a structure whereby you have success rewarded by the advancement of career," the 1964 F1 World Champion said while on the Autosport Stage.

"Where else other than in motorsport can you win one series and then be rewarded by a team at the next level telling you 'that will be £550,000 for a season please'? It's terrifying."

Monopoly might be the greatest board game of all time, and has the unique distinction of being one of the only games that allows you to have fun while systematically causing to you hate the friends and loved ones you are playing with.

However, the folks over at Hasbro have decided that it might be time to inject some newness into the old game.

The Detroit Free Press is reporting that the iconic game will be losing one of its original game tokens: the iron, Scottie dog, wheelbarrow, shoe, top hat, thimble, battleship or the ever-popular race car.

Mexico hope to return to the Formula One calendar in 2014 following an absence of more than two decades.

The North American country has hosted 16 grands prix, the last of which was in 1992 at the Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez, but plans are afoot to win their place back next year.

According to Mexico's representative at F1's governing FIA, Jose Abed, Mexico City are busy upgrading their track.

After reportedly seeing secret documents, local media this week revealed for the first time that the government pays a more than $30 million race fee to the sport, which increases by 5 per cent every year until the end of the contract in 2015.

Valencia's F1 foray is apparently over, with a Spanish newspaper reporting that the street circuit is now falling into disrepair.

Robert Kubica is not ruling out a move to Germany’s premier DTM series for 2013.

The Pole tested Mercedes’ touring car for the German category this week and, according to Auto Motor und Sport, was “immediately almost at the same speed as Mercedes top-dog Gary Paffett”.
