Might motor racing be a candidate for the Olympic Games? F1-insider.com reports that long-time FIA official Lars Osterlind could be the mastermind of a push for grand prix gold. Crucially, F1's governing body became fully recognised by the International Olympic Committee in 2013, after FIA president Jean Todt initiated the process in 2010.

"I would immediately take part in the Olympic Games," said 1997 world champion Jacques Villeneuve. "And I think everyone else would think the same."
