2014 Ryder Cup: Don’t Count Team USA out Just Yet

The United States has managed to win just one of the last six Ryder Cup tournaments. Going back to 1985, the U.S. team has beaten the Europeans in just four of 14 Ryder Cup clashes, which is an abysmal 28.57 percent winning percentage for Team USA.

If any one of those people—including the driver—are off by a...

Between 2000 and 2008, Ferrari won seven constructors’ championships, six drivers’ championships and 76 grands prix. From 2009 to the present day, they’ve won no championships and just 12 races.
