The show is a mix of impressive effects, stunts, acrobatics, stage flights and illusions. It tells the story of Batman’s ongoing mission to bring justice to the criminals of Gotham with his partner Robin’s help. The Batmobile used in the stage show was created by a Formula One car designer, and there is a 43-strong cast.

The producers of the arena show hope that it will tour the world until 2016. So far, it has been met with acclaim from both critics and public. Audience member Ian Rudolfer-Arnold told the BBC: “It’s pure action. And it works. It doesn’t need the music. The circus element was really effective. I was well impressed.”

Batman Live tickets are available for the 87 UK performances.

There is currently a May 1st deadline for organisers to decide if a race will be possible, but Ecclestone has been quoted by the BBC as saying: “We need to wait a little bit.”

A spokesman for governing body the FIA stated: “As far as we’re concerned a decision is still due on Sunday.”

The Bahrain GP was scheduled to take place on March 13th but was called off due to civil unrest.

The race has come under threat after Ecclestone pushed the cost of sanctioning the race to nearly £26million, doubling the current cost.

It seemed at though Turkish officials would be unwilling to meet such a demand, with Istanbul mayor Kadir Topbas quoted by the Zaman newspaper as saying: “It was not a profitable event. Serious finances are needed in order for this system to work. Unfortunately there was a problem. Turkish people didn’t give the races recognition.”

However, Ecclestone still believes a deal can be made.

“The race brings a huge amount of people, trade and publicity to the city,” Ecclestone told the Daily Express

“I am a bit disappointed and I hope we can work out a deal.”

The 2011 Turkish Grand Prix is the next on the calendar and will take place on Sunday, May 8.

The 23-year-old Serb has taken the tennis world by storm this season, winning the Australian Open, Dubai Championship and Masters events in Miami and Indian Wells.

“His name is Igor Cetojevic, he is a nutritionist and he’s done a great job in changing my diet after we established I am allergic to some food ingredients like gluten,” Djokovic said on the opening day of the Serbia Open.

“A lot of people have been guessing and speculating what the secret formula of my good form was but there is no secret, it’s just that all the pieces have fallen into place after years of hard work and we are now reaping the rewards,” added Djokovic.

Tennis tickets are now available for the Queens Club Championship and Wimbledon.

The Spanish star is hoping for a third drivers’ championship this year but currently sits in third place after three races. He is 42 points behind leader Sebastian Vettel.

Alonso said in his blog on the official Ferrari website: “It was definitely not the start to the season we were hoping for, for us and all our fans.

“Fifty points between the two of us is not much and we know our performance is not good enough at the moment, but we are aware that this can change very quickly.”

“Formula 1 has always been like this: in one race you struggle to get into the top five and in the next, you’re fighting for the win.

Rumours have suggested the Ferrari supremo may leave the company to pursue a new career. When interviewed by La Gazzetta dello Sport, di Montezemolo said: “Me in politics? Yes, with Alonso as prime minister.

“I would have him because he has the strongest character and is optimistic but also a realist.”

Montezemolo then went on to name an entire cabinet of worthy drivers.

“Vettel, who is smart and fast, Rosberg for being able to hold off Schumacher, Perez for his talent and Hamilton, a great champion,” he said.

The biggest news however was the absence of Felipe Massa from the dream cabinet. Massa’s contract with Ferrari runs out at the end of the season.

Three F1 legends were also mentioned: “Lauda, who was able to never pay for anything, not even a drink, Schumacher never gave up, and before he died Senna told me that his dream was to win a world championship with Ferrari.”

The 26-year-old Russian, who recorded a podium finish in Melbourne three weeks ago, told The Independent: “there are a lot of lies written about me.”

“I am never thinking about this,” urged Petrov. “If someone says this, I say, ‘Shut up – I don’t want to listen to this!’ I know what I am doing and I know that it was difficult for people to believe in me, but my team believed. I don’t want people to think that we are here just because of money.

After just two races, Ferrari are already 36 points behind Red Bull in the constructors’ standings.

“I am definitely not satisfied with the way the season has begun, but I have complete faith in the people here, who know how to react when the situation is tough,” Montezemolo told Ferrari’s official website.

“I am sure there will be an amazing response. I know everyone is working flat out and I have great faith in the human and technical strengths of our people. I believe the period when the most we can hope for is a podium will soon come to an end.”

Barker said that recording sessions are going well, yet admitted it is “hard to say” how far into the process the band are.

“The sound of the record I think will be kind of the same stuff as past Blink albums, so it won’t be anything that people will be shocked by, what we’re writing in the studio at the moment. If I was to disconnect myself from it and kind of take myself out of it and be a fan, it feels like songs that have progressed from the last album.”

The group, completed by Tom DeLonge and Mark Hoppus, reunited in 2009 following a five-year hiatus.

The album will be the band’s first release since 2003′s Blink-182.

Horner told Sportsweek that he expects the advantage to be with different teams at different tracks.

Alonso told Ferrari’s website that his poor start, which saw him fall to ninth, was the main reason he only achieved fourth place.

“If I’d not found myself ninth I’d have been able to fight to the end for the lower steps of the podium,” he said.

“It’s important to prepare well for the next two, which are back-to-back.”

Spread across three cities, Dot To Dot is nothing if not ambitious. The event moves between Bristol, Nottingham and Manchester with countless venues due to host an eclectic bill which is still being formulated.

London trio The Joy Formidable are set to drop by, while …And You Will Know Us By The Trail Of Dead are also due to perform at this year’s Dot To Dot.

Adding a host of new names to the bill, organisers for Dot To Dot have announced a special performance from Guillemots. Building up to the release of their new album, the orchestral pop outfit have been playing a series of special shows.

Dot To Dot Organiser Anton Lockwood said: “Today we’re excited to add two of our long term favourite bands to the ever growing Dot To Dot line-up. We Are Scientists never fail to deliver an energetic and fun live show, and will definitely bring the party to Dot To Dot 2011. Guillemots are a band reinvigorated after Fyfe Dangerfield’s solo excursions, and it will be great to see their new, tightly focussed live show. And we’ve got many, many more new breakthrough bands to come! Can’t wait!”

Although Red Bull’s Sebastian Vettel won Sunday’s Australian Grand Prix by 22 seconds, Button believes McLaren are in a very strong position, whether the statistics support him or not.

“Clearly, the Red Bulls are quick, Sebastian’s pole lap showed everyone that,” he told his official website. “But, on race pace, it would look as if we’re already a lot closer at this stage of the season than we were last year. I know you can say that Red Bull weren’t using KERS Hybrid, which puts a couple of tenths in your pocket, but I don’t think it’s as clear-cut as you might have believed on Saturday evening.

Team principal Christian Horner explained that the longer straights at Sepang will favour those with KERS.

“We plan to have it on the car for Malaysia,” Horner told Autosport.

“The KERS effect here [in Australia] is less, as the run to the first corner is shorter. So that is our main exposure, which is why we didn’t want you guys to tell the rest of the world that we didn’t have it.

“In Malaysia there is a relatively long run to the first turn, and we will be keen to get it on the car as soon as possible.”

Barrichello, who was trying to fight his way through the field after running wide early on, was unable to use the rear wing to aid overtaking on the pit straight, according to team manager Dickie Stanford.

“Something in the race control system was wrong,” Stanford told Auto Motor und Sport. “Barrichello couldn’t use his rear wing on the home straight even though a few times he was close enough to the car in front. It was (mistakenly) programmed for the second sector.”

Button claimed that Massa forced him to leave the track, but officials disagreed and Button received a drive through penalty.

“It was a good fight, no?” Massa told Eurosport. “I was holding my position and he was not able to pass me.

“He tried many times and I was able to stay there many times. Then, when he passed me, he passed me in a not allowed situation. He had to give me back the position or they penalised him, which was the case.”

“The start was not particularly great,” Hamilton told Eurosport, “I really got a lot of wheel spin and lost quite a bit of ground to Sebastian. There was nothing I could do, just try to keep my position. Fortunately, with the KERS, I was able to hold second and, from then, on it was quite a smooth race.”

The revelation that Sebastian Vettel beat Hamilton by 22 seconds without the use of KERS shows that the pack still has a lot of work to do to catch the defending champion.

The new McLaren had serious issues during testing, but with Hamilton finishing second, and Button unlucky to only finish sixth, it would seem that the two British drivers will be able to fight for the Championship after all.

Hamilton had a fairly straight forward race to finish second. Button, however, had a poor start and a drive through penalty to contend with. Nevertheless, McLaren will be delighted with the results, although there is clearly a long way to go to catch Sebastian Vettel’s Red Bull.

“I want to make sure we don’t lose that angst, I want to take that and deliver it in a package that’s very modern, using instrumentations and formulas to launch you into different places with music that is not just three-chord pop-punk with riffs. What we can do now is take the essence of what Blink-182 was and really make it into something that has a crescendo. That’s what excites me.”

Delonge and his band’s aim is to have the record released before the string of UK dates in the summer.

“We will not tour if there is no new record,” he said boldly. “The goal is to finish and squeeze it out at the very last minute so people have the new songs in time for the dates. The album will be great, I promise you that, I think it’s gonna be what everyone wants it to be; it will be fun and full of attitude but the songs are super relevant and giant sounding. Think Blink but stadium rock.”

Speaking tp the BBC, Ecclestone said “I thought maybe at the beginning it was a little crazy but it’s surprising how much support that idea is getting now. Providing we do it so nobody would know when it was going to happen, like when it rains, I think it would make for a lot of entertainment. Whether or not it would make it more exciting, I don’t know. Until you have done these things it’s impossible to say but I thought last year was a super season.”

Ecclestone will hope to emulate the excitement from last season, when the title challenge went down to the last race and four drivers were still able to finish as champion.

The state of emergency will overlap a May deadline which would mean that the race is definitely off. But F1′s governing body insists the developments have not immediately changed the situation as far as the FIA is concerned.

“There is an obligation to that.

Hamilton told etyres.co.uk: “In the first few races, you can imagine that everyone is going to be confused with the pit-stops.

Winter testing revealed that the new Mercedes was way off the pace, but an updated version that has been tested in Barcelona showed encouraging signs.

The update, including a diffuser, new exhaust, wings and bodywork, allowed Rosberg’s team-mate Michael Schumacher  to top testing times for the end of the week.

Rosberg told Autosport: “The team has made a lot of progress, so it has been great to see how much progress has come on.

“Of course we are not there yet, as we want to win the world championship and we are not the fastest car yet, but things are going in the right direction so that is really nice to see.”

Following Jenson Button’s downbeat comments earlier in the week, the McLaren MP4-26 appears to be struggling to keep up with Red Bull and Ferrari cars. The new car has had a number of problems, including at this week’s final pre-season testing in Barcelona.

Button was 0.366 seconds slower than Red Bull rival Mark Webber’s best time in testing at Barcelona, and then suffered exhaust problems. Hamilton was fourth, but spent large amounts of time in the garage with various reliability issues.

While the difficult Bridge corner has been cut out, more pleasingly the run to Luffield and Woodcote – the most pointless area of the track – has also been discarded. Silverstone now offers a more balanced circuit that rewards both cornering at speed and more technical driving, and could well turn out to be the most dramatic race of the season.

With Mark Webber and Sebastian Vettel of Red Bull up against McLaren’s Lewis Hamilton and Jenson Button – while Fernando Alonso and Felipe Massa at Ferrari should never be written off – it promises to be a fiercely competitive race. This will be especially true if perennial dark horse Robert Kubica at Renault challenges, and Mercedes get their act together and provide Nico Rosberg and Michael Schumacher with the car their pedigree deserves.

British F1 Grand Prix tickets are on sale now, with weekend tickets from SeeTickets – providing access to practice, qualification and race day – available from £130.

Although 1996 World Champion Damon Hill has predicted the British Grand Prix is where Hamilton and Button’s relationship will fall apart, this is the kind of rivalry that the two McLaren drivers envisage continuing – and their fierce competition between them has pushed each to perform to their best. Indeed, it could well be the reason that Hamilton and Button are first and second in the drivers’ championship respectively – a mere six points between them.

British F1 Grand Prix tickets are on sale now, and weekend tickets to watch practice, qualification and the race are available from £130 from SeeTickets.

Thankfully for the McLaren driver, the decision was so tight that it took 17 laps’ time to resolve it – partially because stewards were preoccupied with the aftermath of Mark Webber’s 190mph crash. Hamilton eventually suffered the standard drive-through penalty but was able to keep his place, but the unfortunate facet from a spectator’s point of view was that his punishment prevented the battle between the McLaren and the brilliant but notoriously unstable Red Bull of Sebastian Vettel. Had Hamilton not hesitated as he was coming out of the pit lane, he would have easily passed the line before the safety car – and thus avoided his penalty altogether.

Alonso’s luck came after the race. Although he was unlucky in the safety car incident and finished in eighth, his post-race comments of a “manipulated” Grand Prix could well have been punished by the FIA for bringing the sport into disrepute. He was fortunate to get away with it.

Although their remarks after the race brought back memories of their old rivalry when McLaren team-mates, Alonso and Hamilton have now made up having messaged each other online. It remains to be seen what will happen should they find themselves alongside each other in the next race though.

It all makes for an exciting F1 battle at Silverstone between July 9th – 11th 2010, and British Grand Prix tickets are on sale now. SeeTickets has weekend tickets available from £130.

With McLaren due a major upgrade in time for the race, and both their drivers of Hamilton and Jenson Button heading the top of the Championship, there could well be a home winner on the cards.

The European Grand Prix in Valencia, Spain also ought to be well suited to the McLaren car, and both Hamilton and Button should be confident. In the first practice session this morning it was Nico Rosberg of Mercedes who scored the fastest time, but the McLaren drivers were close behind. Hamilton was just 0.164 seconds behind Rosberg in second place, with Button a close third.

Following the race in Spain, F1 fans will get to see the newly designed Silverstone circuit for the first time at the British Grand Prix, between July 9th – 11th 2010.

British F1 Grand Prix tickets are available now, and though the track is believed to play more into the hands of the Red Bull cars of Sebastian Vettel and Mark Webber, Ferrari, McLaren, Mercedes and Renault have all replicated their blown rear end and ought to be well in contention for the race in Donington in July.

Nineteen points separate the top five drivers, and with 25 points awarded for a victory this is the finest of margins. Suddenly the British Grand Prix at the newly worked Silverstone looks a hugely enticing prospect.

Many have argued that the circuit will be perfectly suited to Red Bull’s RB6, but with their reliability issues and further improvements to come from their rivals at McLaren and Ferrari, it really is anybody’s guess who will win.

The Silverstone circuit has been redeveloped for the 2010 event, and is set to add an unpredictable element to proceedings.

In addition, rule changes have been implemented for this season to encourage overtaking and more exciting races, and there are at least eight men in contention for the title.

Both British drivers are amongst those eight, and one of the 2008 and 2009 champions will hope to win again in 2010.

McLaren’s new aerodynamic package has aided both of their drivers with particularly Lewis Hamilton and Jenson Button recorded the two fastest lap times.

The Mercedes changes also appear to be a success with veteran Michael Schumacher a very close third.

Coming in fourth and fifth were Red Bull duo Mark Webber and Sebastian Vettel respectively who will hope to continue their impressive record in qualifying on Saturday.

The Spanish Grand Prix is a hugely difficult track to overtake on, and has been won by the driver on pole in each of the last nine seasons, so teams will be leaving it all out on the track in Q1, Q2 and Q3.

The Spanish Grand Prix is this weekend, and Button looks the more likely driver to finish first. Circuit de Catalunya is widely regarded as being one of the harshest tracks on a car’s tyres, and Button’s smooth approach will likely preserve them better than Hamilton’s aggressive driving style.

The Red Bulls of Sebastian Vettel and Mark Webber also both seem to devour tyres, so the main contenders in Barcelona could well be between Button and the Ferraris of Felipe Massa and Fernando Alonso – driving in his home Grand Prix.

The Ferrari doesn’t cope quite as well as the McLaren in the rain, but given that the last time it rained on May 9th in Barcelona was in 2002, Massa and Alonso ought to be safe from the elements.

Last year, Silverstone became extremely close to losing the British GP to Donington Park, however, the latter’s financial situation saw F1 supremo Bernie Ecclestone instead sign a new deal with Silverstone.

Damon Hill now believes that the track is one of the “world’s greatest,” and with a strong British contingent in Lewis Hamilton and the in-form Jenson Button, it is sure to provide an exciting race.
