FIA confirms 15,000rpm rev limit
The FIA has confirmed that a 15,000rpm rev limit will be imposed on Formula 1 engines from 2014 onwards.

The Spaniard's first victory of the year at Silverstone has reignited hopes that Ferrari could stage a fightback in the second half of the campaign - and its form at the Nurburgring on Friday suggests that the outfit is now right up there with the championship leaders.
