Before the top three from today’s Japanese Grand Prix took to the podium, BBC coverage showed Jenson Button, Sebastian Vettel and Fernando Alonso taking a well-earned breather in a drivers’ room. To stir things up a bit, Button quizzed newly crowned double World Champion Vettel on what the start was all about. The incident in question saw a faster starting Button, starting from second,...

Whilst Michael Schumacher’s comeback has been average at best, his preceding legacy meant that the German champion firmly instated himself as a multiple record breaker. In the history of Formula 1, never has a competitor demolished the competition on such a frequent and consistent basis, leaving the current crop of leading talent with a mountain to climb if they want to outshine his legendary...

Bravo to Michael Schumacher for reaching a milestone. Twenty years ago in Spa, Eddie Jordan gave the young German driver his first start at Jordan. The world lay blissfully unaware of what was to come. Seven world titles and various broken records later, the controversial champion exited the sport before making an unexpected comeback in 2010. To mark the occasion, Schumacher topped the...

One of the best pieces of Formula 1 news emerged this week from the Renault camp. Doctors for the injured Robert Kubica have stated that despite a rapid decline in progress made during the summer months, they expect the Polish driver to be fit for the Formula 1 simulator by the end of August.

With a lack of pace and organisational prowess that put them to shame at the start of the current season, it’s a wonder what Hispania Racing are still doing within the sport of Formula 1. Even more confusing was their decision to promote the uninspiring and unremarkable Narain Karthikeyan back into the sport. This was a driver who hardly set the time sheets alight and deservedly exited the sport...

A few weeks prior to Wimbledon, a lot of people were wondering if the Williams sisters would even take part at SW19, let alone be considered title contenders. Yet when the determination is there, you can never keep a Williams sister down, and you can definitely never rule them out. For TV audiences it may seem to be perfect timing for a section of the sport that at this moment in time lacks a dominating...

Lewis Hamilton broke a record in Malaysia previously set by Jim Clark for being the driver with the most Grand Prix with his only team. Mclaren nurtured him into being the credible talent that he has proven to be on the track and he has been rewarded with a long-term drive with the team. It is certain that more accolades will come his way, yet one of his own personally-stated ambitions has never materialised. When...

In the wake of the Spanish Automobile Federation president Carlos Gracia’s derogatory comments towards Hispania Racing, the pressure is firmly on the team to prove their worth. After a season at the foot of the grid, the Spanish outfit are now required to work towards creating a more worthy existence. The 10-second deficit to the front of the pack in Melbourne was simply unacceptable. They...

One of the main motivators for a driver is the competition between himself and his teammate. Put two drivers together of equal standing and you create an environment where the team can benefit from an individual’s desire to outdo their counterpart. Sometimes this may go awry, such as Mark Webber and Sebastien Vettel’s coming together last season. At other times it can get nasty, seen...
