Monza 2010: Mistakes Abound As Fernando Alonso and Ferrari Take The Points

The Italian Grand Prix of 2010 will be remembered by the Ferrari fans for the terrific first and third finish of Fernando Alonso and Felipe Massa. Everyone else—particularly the teams at the pointy end of the championship—will remember the race for the mistakes that the other teams seemed to make. The blunders started from the moment that the lights went out. Mark Webber missed the start... 

Michael Schumacher: Should He Leave Mercedes GP To Be the Next Stig?

Some say the mere thought of being overtaken makes him try to run other drivers into a wall, and that he is completely devoid of any sense of guilt—all we know is that Michael Schumacher should be the next Stig. Now that British racing driver Ben Collins has outed himself as the enigmatic character “The Stig” on BBC’s worldwide smash hit motoring program Top Gear, he has apparently... 

Hamilton Or Button, Webber Or Vettel: Time For McLaren and RBR To Choose

With only six races to go in the 2010 Formula One Championship season, it’s time for the big teams to make some difficult decisions and pick a preferred driver for the remainder of the season to maximize the team’s chances of taking out the championship. Leading in to the Belgian Grand Prix, there were five drivers who were in a position—some better than others—to take out the... 

Rubens Barrichello Passes 300 Starts in Remarkable but Unrewarded Career

Depending upon who you ask, Rubens Barrichello will start his 300th Formula One Grand Prix when, and if, he takes to the grid to start the 2010 Belgian Grand Prix. Now, if you’re one of those who believe that starting a race actually means starting a race, then please come back in six weeks to read this again and replace all references to Belgium and Spa with Japan and... 

Michael Schumacher Shows Rubens Barrichello the Wall in Hungary

I have been an unashamed admirer of Michael Schumacher for many years. Not a fan, but just someone who could acknowledge one of the finest driving talents ever to drop himself into a Formula One car. But Schumacher has a very significant flaw in his makeup. He simply doesn’t know where to draw the line when it comes to defending his position on the racetrack. Starting with Damon Hill in the... 

Sebastian Vettel’s Screw-Up Lost in Ferrari Furore at Hockenheim

Sebastian Vettel is a slow learner. For the second race in a row, he failed to capitalize on his pole position. He is too focused on stopping the driver in position two from getting to the corner instead of on driving his own race. Okay, he may not have been able to win the race given his fuel problems, but this is the fifth time he has failed to capitalize on his pole position this year. Worse still,... 

Mark Webber Has the Last Word as Red Bull’s Favouritism Falls Flat

Do Red Bull Racing have a learning difficulty? Was there really nothing that they could take home from the ridiculous airing of dirty laundry that went on after the two Red Bull pilots came together in Istanbul? Although Red Bull management, through Christian Horner, came out and said they don’t play favourites, that lie was exposed when they unnecessarily pulled the newly developed nose and... 

Formula One Is Going Green: No, That’s Not a Joke

Kermit the frog used to sing a sad little ditty called, “It isn’t easy being green.” If Kermy is still alive today, he’s singing a much different tune. Nowadays, not only is it almost a crime not to be green, it’s also a business imperative to become as green as possible. You would think, however, that Formula One would be immune to this pressure to be environmentally... 

Is Fernando Alonso Just A Whinger Or Is Everyone Really Out To Get Him?

The whole world is against Fernando Alonso. At least, that’s the impression that you’d get if you listen to the man himself, or his often similarly paranoid team, Ferrari.  In Canada, we had Alonso and his team carping on about how the slower teams cost him victory. In Valencia, Alonso has gone further, essentially accusing everyone in Formula One of conspiring against him, even including... 

Mark Webber’s Red Bull Gets Its Wings – But Not In A Good Way!

There is a cartoon that you may have seen that has a bird eating a frog. The frog, as you might expect, is not keen to be swallowed and has his little froggy hands wrapped tightly around the bird’s throat. The caption reads “never, ever give up.” Obviously, Lotus F1’s  Heikki Kovalainen has this cartoon on his bedroom wall as a motivational poster, because his battle to...
