Ranking the Formula 1 Team Bosses on Their Performances in 2015

Formula One team bosses are the motor-racing equivalent of football managers. It is mostly left to the drivers, the stars of the show, to receive plaudits when a team performs strongly and claims podiums, grand prix victories and world championships. But when results are hard to come by? It is almost always the fault of the team principal, who often pay the price of failure with their job, even if...

Why Eddie Jones Would Be Wrong to Appoint Dylan Hartley as England Captain

Dylan Hartley appears set to be named England captain in a bold move by new head coach Eddie Jones, as reported by BBC Sport.

Why Sebastian Vettel’s Ferrari Will Be the Only Real Threat to Mercedes in 2016

Sebastian Vettel‘s victory at the 2015 Malaysian Grand Prix was one of the most significant moments in recent Formula One history. That it was the German on top of the podium meant very little, and a 222nd win for the Ferrari team would usually have passed by with little ceremony.

Not even a month into his reign as England head coach, Eddie Jones is already making the tough decisions on how best to shake up the national team, and his first order of business may be electing a new captain.
