There’s no such thing as a dull Canadian Grand Prix, and 2010 was no exception to that rule. It was a cracking race from start to finish and had everything that F1 fans love about the sport. There was overtaking, strategy, tyre problems, and lots and lots of aggression. Best of all, we got to see the return of an old friend—Schumi the wrecker. Michael Schumacher once had the hard earned...

What on earth has happened to the Williams Grand Prix team? The once proud organization used to hold a place amongst the Formula One front runners; one of the big four who dominated the sport for over two decades. But not any more. Now, they are reduced to also-rans, barely outpacing the new teams still in their F1 infancy. This year, the team has only scored points by virtue of the new system that...

It seems that Red Bull Racing have hung Mark Webber out to dry on the unfortunate, and probably unnecessary, incident between himself and teammate Sebastian Vettel in Turkey. The crash cost RBR an almost certain one-two and left the team scrambling to get Webber to the line for third place. The incident occurred on lap 41 and appeared, at first glance, to be a simple racing incident caused by Vettel...

If we’re absolutely honest, one of the reasons that motorsport, in this case Formula One, is so compelling, is the possibility that it can all go wrong and end up in a spectacular shower of car parts and shattered carbon fibre. It’s certainly not the main reason that we watch, but the adrenaline hit that comes from being a witness to these incidents is undeniable. It is an uncomfortable...

Mercedes GP have decided to walk away from appealing against the draconian 20 second penalty handed out to Michael Schumacher in the wake of last Sunday’s Monaco Grand Prix. For anyone who has been on another planet for the last couple of days, a collision between Jarno Trulli and Karun Chandhok brought the safety car out with two laps to go. While everyone assumed that the race would end under...

Over a decade after his retirement from Formula One racing, Damon Hill has walked straight back into controversy by handing his former nemesis, Michael Schumacher, a ridiculous penalty in the wake of an otherwise forgettable Monaco Grand Prix. Hill, the man who ended his career by pathetically retiring his fully functioning car because he was “so far down the field, there was little point in...

As Red Bull Racing takes pole position—and has since completed an emphatic one-two finish in the race—again for the Formula One Grand Prix of Monaco, the question inevitably arises: Why are they so damn fast? Six consecutive pole positions, shared evenly between Sebastien Vettel and Mark Webber, underscores the team’s dominance in terms of raw pace. Only once has one of the team’s...

Monaco is a unique track in the modern Formula One world. It is an anachronism—a throwback to a gentler era of F1 racing. While it is picturesque, it is also tight, twisty and almost impossible to overtake on. If it was anywhere else in the world, the FIA would have shut it down years ago. It is to host the sixth race of the 2010 season. The drivers are expressing their concerns about how this...

You have to feel a little bit sorry for Nico Rosberg. The son of Finnish Formula One world champion Keke Rosberg, has had a stunning start to the 2010 F1 season with the new incarnation of Brawn GP—the Mercedes Grand Prix team. After four races, Rosberg was second on the points table and had finished in the top five in each of the races, including two podium finishes. More importantly, he was...
