Formula 1: FIA Rule Changes to Put the Brakes on Red Bull and Sebastian Vettel

Helmut Marko is not a man who is afraid of making a big statement or letting people know what he’s thinking. At the moment, he’s thinking that the FIA are changing the rules to try to slow down Red Bull. Marko, a consultant (whatever that means) with Red Bull Racing, has said as reported in the F1 Times of the hot-blown diffuser changes that, “This time it [the ban] seems to have... 

Formula One Racing: Is Lewis Hamilton a Frustrated Genius, or Completely Mad?

Lewis Hamilton has had another bad weekend and received some harsh criticism from two former champions. Following on from Monaco, where he attracted a lot of criticism and the attention of the stewards, Hamilton would have been hoping for a less adventurous race day. Sadly for Lewis, it was not to be. Due to the inclement weather, race director Charlie Whiting decided to start the race behind the safety... 

Formula 1: Mark Webber’s Time at Red Bull Racing Coming to an End?

The writing is on the wall for Mark Webber. The Aussie journeyman’s time at Red Bull is coming to an end, despite him making it clear that he wants to drive next year and his preference is to stay at RBR until the end of his career. He may still get to finish his career at RBR, but it’s starting to look like he may not get the luxury of choosing his retirement date if he really wants stay. This... 

Formula 1: Is the Bahrain Grand Prix Reinstatement Just to Give India More Time?

The latest pictures coming out of the new Buddh International Circuit, home of the inaugural Indian Grand Prix that was to be held on the last weekend in October, shed an interesting light on the decision to reinstate the Bahrain Grand Prix. The pictures, published on the F1Times website, show a facility that looks to be far from ready and perhaps gives rise to questions as to whether the reinstatement... 

Sebastien Buemi Meets the World’s Dumbest F1 Fan—and Runs Him Over (Video)

F1 drivers must really hate the promotional work that they are forced to do to keep the plethora of sponsors happy. Sponsors love to have their company or product bask in the reflected glow of a Formula 1 car and they pay a hefty price for the privilege. Drivers are forced to utter inane lines espousing the wonderful qualities of their sponsor. They have to shake hands and make small talk with people... 

Monaco Grand Prix: Does It Still Have a Place in Modern Formula 1?

It’s been a pretty good year for Formula 1. We’ve seen the return of overtaking and excitement after the addition of gadgets and tyres that wear out faster than a cheap set of retreads. Yes, it’s contrived and manufactured racing, but it’s exciting and makes a refreshing change from the processions that we’ve seen over the past decade. Then, just when we’ve come... 

Turkish F1 GP: KERS and DRS Fail Their Latest Test as Vettel’s Season Marches On

William Shakespeare, through his character Macbeth, said of life that “It is a tale, told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing.” While Macbeth was speaking in reference to the death of his wife, the quote could equally be applied to Formula 1 racing at the moment. Or so we thought. After a stunning Chinese Grand Prix, that had F1 fans believing that the sport had turned... 

Formula 1 2011: Yas Marina to Have a Facelift—Will It Help?

The technological changes that were introduced into Formula 1 for the 2011 season have given the sport a long overdue boost (forgive the pun) and brought back good, old-fashioned racing. Cars can now actually pass each other on the track rather than relying on pit stop strategies to decide races. It’s just like in the old days—no more slot-car racing. No more processions. No races being... 

Formula 1: Briatore Broadside Writes Off Flawed Ferrari for 2011

Flavio Briatore is not a man renowned for his deep introspection and making carefully considered and moderate statements. Like the company with whom he made fame and fortune—Benetton—he is bold, brash and can occasionally get on people’s nerves, but above all, he’s almost impossible not to notice. It won’t come as a surprise to anyone, therefore, that Briatore has looked...
