Volvo XC60 R-Design revealed

Volvo has released details of an R-Design version of the XC60 Still, more power isn’t everyone’s cup of tea – particularly at the moment – but many buyers like a bit of ‘butchness’ in their cars. And to be completely fair to Volvo, although they haven’t messed with the oily bits for more oomph, they have played with the suspension for more feel. Volvo say the XC60 has improved steering (thanks to ‘Direct Steering Gear’), stiffer damping and a more robust chassis.

Belgian Grand Prix (2011) RESULT

Belgian Grand Prix 2011 As always, Spa threw the weather in to the equation in qualifying for the Belgian Grand Prix, with Button ending in 13th place on the grid after a rapidly drying track left the McLaren driver stranded in 13th place as others took advantage, despite being obviously quicker than most of the pack. Without the rain errors it could have been a McLaren front row, but Hamilton at least managed to show the McLarens were quick at Spa and joined Vettel on the front row with Webber in third and Massa fourth. But all the promise came to nothing for Hamilton as he reverted to type and drove like a petulant child – straight in to Kamui Kobayashi on lap thirteen – ending McLaren’s hopes of a win.

Abu Dhabi Grand Prix (2011) RESULT

Abu Dhabi Grand Prix (2011) - t started as expected... The Yas Marina circuit in Abu Dhabi is certainly a spectacular venue. It doesn’t yet have the soul of the traditional F1 circuits in Europe, but it is a special race (the only day-night race in the F1 calendar) especially for the 2011 World Champion Sebastian Vettel, who is the only man to have ever won on the circuit.
