Why the Return of Refuelling Would Be Bad for Formula 1

Refuelling appears to have once again fallen off the agenda for 2017. A return was proposed at a meeting of the Formula One Strategy Group last May, as part of a series of measures aimed at “improving the show.” Other suggestions included increased downforce, wider tyres, lighter cars and a more aggressive look—but it was the refuelling return that stood out, and it quickly became... 

5 Reasons Dylan Hartley Is a Risky Pick as England Captain

Dylan Hartley’s appointment as England captain has split fans over whether he has the credentials for the job ahead of the RBS Six Nations. On the one hand, the hooker was sorely missed in the 2015 World Cup, and without his edge, aggression and set-piece quality, England’s pack was a neutered beast. All of those attributes will be vital to restoring the Red Rose forward unit to its former,...

Sebastian Vettel and Formula 1’s Great Career Moves

Sebastian Vettel is probably feeling pretty good about life as he prepares for the 2016 Formula One season. When he signed for Ferrari toward the end of 2014, the Scuderia were nowhere. The Italian team had got their new V6 turbo hybrid power unit horribly wrong and had yet again built a disappointing car. Thanks to Fernando Alonso‘s efforts, they finished fourth in the constructors’ championship;... 

Ranking Europe’s Top 15 Club Teams After Weekend of January 22-24

There was no shortage of drama—and just a hint of comedy—about the final weekend of pool play in the Champions Cup, as we learned who will face who in the quarter-finals. One of the most striking things about how the last eight clubs have shaken out is that we are guaranteed an English team in the final, with four Premiership sides in the top half of the draw. Saracens will play Northampton,... 

Realistic Expectations for Ferrari in 2016 Formula 1 Season

The problem with high expectations is that they have a nasty habit of breeding disappointment. Whenever you set yourself a clear, defined aim in any given task, it is human nature to become obsessed with meeting that goal, even to the extent where the pressure of those expectations can sometimes become all-consuming and ultimately counterproductive, distorting your sense of perspective. Even if you... 

Ranking the Biggest Hits in World Rugby for Weekend of January 22-24

This week we saw a double helping of Owen Farrell, a classic case of prop vs. scrum-half and a shuddering tackle that Ulster’s veteran No. 10 Ian Humphreys will want to forget. The end of the Champions Cup pool stage was do or die for a number of teams, but this week’s compilation comes from games on which there was little resting. Just goes to show, there’s no such thing as a dead... 

Ranking the 2016 RBS 6 Nations Fly-Halves on Game-Winning Potential

The 2016 RBS Six Nations will bring together a collection of the finest players Europe has to offer, and a promising contingent of fly-halves shoulder heavy burdens coming into the competition.

F1 2016 Head-to-Head: Max Verstappen vs. Carlos Sainz at Toro Rosso

The Red Bull-owned Toro Rosso team is unique in Formula One in that it exists for the benefit of one of its rivals. The team’s goal is to take talented but raw youngsters from the Red Bull Junior Team and refine them into finished products who are ready to step up to the main Red Bull squad whenever a vacancy arises. Sebastian Vettel is the most well-known and successful product of this system,...
