Formula 1: Bahrain Grand Prix Moral Test Inevitable Consequence of Expansion

As the time approaches for a decision to either commit to—or walk away from—the upcoming Bahrain Grand Prix, it seems that there is a rapidly emerging divide developing between the race organisers and Bernie Ecclestone on one hand, and most rational people on the other. The 2011 Bahrain GP was eventually cancelled—only after considerable protests from the teams and sponsors—due... 

Malaysian F1 GP: Fernando Alonso Wins, Sergio Perez Delivers CV to Ferrari

If rumours of Sauber’s Sergio Perez being in the frame to replace the hapless Felipe Massa at Ferrari are even close to being true, then the Mexican speedster may well just added a couple of extra dollars onto his potential contract, with a well-constructed and emphatic second place at the Malaysian Grand Prix. Perez was in a position to win the race before a small mistake saw him run wide... 

2012 US Grand Prix in Doubt as Construction Suspended on Circuit of The Americas

Only days after Formula One supremo Bernie Ecclestone hinted that there may be trouble with preparations for the 2012 US Grand Prix, work has ground to a halt at the Circuit of The Americas track in Austin, Texas. Ecclestone responded cryptically when quizzed over progress at the circuit, Austin? I wouldn’t want to put my money down that that will happen. I hope it will and we are doing our... 

Abu Dhabi GP: Hamilton Wins, but the FIA Mess Up the DRS Zones

For the first time this year, Red Bull Racing failed to claim a spot on the podium of a Formula One race as Lewis Hamilton claims his third win of the season. In other news, the FIA are idiots. Few people would have thought it possible, but the FIA have managed to make to Abu Dhabi Grand Prix even more ridiculous and tedious than ever before. The advent of DRS was supposed to make it easier for cars... 

Mercedes GP Reportedly Re-Sign Michael Schumacher for 2013: But Why?

In one of the least surprising signings in Formula One, Nico Rosberg has secured a deal with Mercedes until at least the end of 2013. What is more surprising is that they have apparently also agreed to re-sign the ageing Michael Schumacher through to the end of 2013 also. Rosberg has been a consistently solid performer in a car that is, at best, only the fourth-best car on the grid. In 2010, he secured... 

Formula 1: Can Two DRS Zones Save the 2011 Abu Dhabi GP from Tedium?

Is it possible for two DRS (drag reduction system) zones to save the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix from descending into the 100 minutes of tedium that was the 2010 Formula One season decider? Going into the final race last year, all Fernando Alonso had to do to secure his third championship was cover Mark Webber, who was eight points down, and Sebastian Vettel, who was a further five points back. Perhaps thinking... 

Rubens Barrichello’s Unfulfilled Career Looking To Come to a Close in Brazil

It seems that Rubens Barrichello’s time in Formula One is coming to an end and that the Brazilian champion could say farewell to the sport at his home grand prix—the season-ender at Interlagos. Williams F1 have confirmed that they are in serious negotiations with the 2007 world champion, Kimi Raikkonen. With Barrichello’s star on the wane, the laconic Finn could prove to be a risk-free... 

Ferrari: Luca di Montezemolo’s Comments Not a Threat To Leave F1

In a move that defies his 64 years of age, Ferrari president Luca di Montezemolo has performed a backflip worthy of an Olympic gymnast. On Ferrari’s official website, they are reporting that Montezemolo’s demands for change from the Formula One officialdom were in no way an ultimatum or threat to leave the sport. For those who missed out on this outburst, you can get the details here, but... 

Ferrari’s Luca di Montezemolo Makes Formula 1 an Offer It Can’t Refuse

It is difficult to imagine Formula One without Ferrari being an integral part of the sport, but that is a real possibility if Ferrari President, Luca di Montezemolo is to be believed. The Scuderia boss has come out demanding changes to F1 that must be met to ensure the long-term involvement of the Maranello outfit. He has come out in the industry press claiming, We can be very patient but there are... 

Formula 1 Grand Prix in New Jersey Set to Be Announced: Is It Worth the Effort?

ESPN is reporting that Formula One supremo, Bernie Ecclestone, is close to signing a deal bringing a second F1 Grand Prix to the US. It seems that we may, at last, get to see the much vaunted race in New Jersey. Which begs the obvious question: why? F1 is already set to return to the US in 2012 at the newly created Circuit of the Americas in Austin, Texas. Given F1’s chequered history in the...
