Formula 1: Will Michael Schumacher Be Fired from Mercedes GP?

Is the curtain coming down on Michael Schumacher’s disappointing return to Formula One? While Lewis Hamilton’s future catches all of the headlines with the McLaren vs. Mercedes bidding war, the obvious question is: Who would be leaving to give up the seat in the Silver Arrow? While ESPN F1 reports that Mercedes are still claiming to be in negotiations with Schumacher, it has become clear... 

Formula 1: Why Lewis Hamilton Would Be Barking Mad to Leave McLaren in 2013

Is Lewis Hamilton barking mad? Can he really be serious about walking away from McLaren to take a seat (presumably Michael Schumacher’s) in a Mercedes GP car? If Bernie Ecclestone is to be believed—and that’s a whole other debate—Hamilton had made up his mind to go, according to ESPN F1. But that was before his recent run of good form. It is obvious that Hamilton is not in a... 

Professor Sid Watkins, Formula 1 Legend and Safety Pioneer, Dies at 84

The Formula One community is today mourning the loss of the legendary Professor Sid Watkins. The driving force behind so many of the safety improvements in the sport and the man affectionately known as Prof has passed away after a long battle with cancer, according to The Telegraph. Watkins was brought into F1 in 1978 by his friend Bernie Ecclestone to fight the rising tide of driver fatalities that... 

Hungarian F1 GP: Michael Schumacher’s Antics Add Colour to Otherwise Dull Race

Michael Schumacher is getting on a bit. At 43 years old, he’s well short of the oldest driver to enter a race (Louis Chiron holds that record at 58). He’s not even too old to succeed—the great Juan Manuel Fangio was world champion at 46. But he did seem to have a bit of a “senior’s moment” at the start of the 2012 Hungarian Grand Prix. After delivering his worst... 

Formula 1: Fernando Alonso Sets His Sights on Senna’s 3 F1 Titles, is it Enough?

Fernando Alonso is having a very good year. He is leading the 2012 Formula 1 Championship by a healthy 34 points in what most pundits agree is an inferior car compared to the Red Bull and McLaren machines. With three race wins, he has won more races than any other driver this year. He has also been remarkably consistent, finishing in the points in every race—a feat unequaled this season. It has... 

Ferrari Boss Offers Worthless Statement of Support for Struggling Felipe Massa

Either Stefano Domenicali is a hypocrite, or he thinks we’re all idiots. The Ferrari boss has come out with an incredibly disingenuous defence of struggling driver Felipe Massa, telling ESPNF1.com that Ferrari are out to protect Massa, no matter what. We need to believe that Felipe can do the right job for the team and that’s why we always said there’s no pressure in that respect.... 

2012 German F1 GP: Sebastian Vettel Penalty Underscores Stewards’ Inconsistency

The 20-second time penalty handed to Sebastian Vettel after the completion of the 2012 German Grand Prix may well have been the absolutely correct, but it was also devastatingly unfair and exposed the inconsistency that has become the hallmark of Formula One stewards. Vettel had caught a struggling Jenson Button on the penultimate lap of the race and pulled up alongside and slightly ahead—with... 

Formula 1: Is Pastor Maldonado Malicious, Incompetent or Just Misunderstood?

It will come as no surprise to anyone who watches Formula One racing that the FIA is barking mad. There are innumerable examples of wacky decisions that underscore that particular conclusion; however, the one in question this time is the logic that the appropriate punishment for serial wrecker, Pastor Maldonado, would be to fine him €25,000. Formula1.com reports the decision as “Maldonado... 

McLaren Fix Their Faulty Jack: Lewis Hamilton Will Be Thrilled

Life at McLaren is never dull. They are capable of hitting incredible highs. In their 46 years, they have won 117 out 710 races they entered, secured 12 driver’s championships (second after Ferrari) and eight constructor’s championships (third after Ferrari and Williams). In other words, they know success. But for all they do right, they occasionally do it in a sea of bumbling that would... 

Fernando Alonso Wins Epic Valencia F1 Grand Prix: Maldonado Disgraced Again

In another staggering example of how this new season has turned our expectations of Formula One on their heads, the world’s most boring and uninspiring track—Valencia—has produced arguably the race of the season, with drama and excitement from start to checkered flag. Even more strangely, Fernando Alonso became the first driver to secure a second victory this season. Not that he isn’t...
