Fernado Alonso Cleared of Cheating After DRS Malfunction

If we said that Fernando Alonso hasn’t had a great start to the season, it would probably be an understatement. While the Ferraris have been relatively consistent, they are well off the qualifying pace of Red Bull and McLaren, and while they’re doing better in race mode, they’re still not threatening the top two. More worryingly for Alonso, his so-called No. 2 teammate, Felipe Massa,... 

2011 Chinese Grand Prix: KERS, DRS and Pirelli Make Racing Fun Again

Okay, pay attention. This is going to be difficult to write, and once it’s out, it’ll never be repeated. The FIA got it right. It’s a phrase that doesn’t get uttered often, if at all, but by some quirk of fate they have managed to bring in a number of innovations to Formula 1 racing that have actually contrived to make the sport better. Yes, the key phrase in that previous sentence... 

Red Bull Racing: Do They Hate Mark Webber or Are They Just Incompetent?

Do Red Bull hate Mark Webber? Okay, that’s probably a bit harsh, but surely Webber must be asking himself why all of the team’s misfortune seems to be landing at his doorstep. To have it happen once is just a fact of racing, twice is unfortunate but three times smacks of carelessness. You get the impression that if Red Bull engineers were to give Webber a goldfish this year, it would probably... 

Lewis Hamilton and Fernando Alonso Penalized for Actually Racing in an F1 Race

Anyone who thinks that they can understand the mindset of the FIA and race stewards is either a psychic or schizophrenic, because it is beyond the intellect of we mortals to predict or understand how penalties are applied in Formula One. As the dust settled on an interesting and often exciting Malaysian Grand Prix, they saw fit to hand out 20-second penalties to McLaren’s Lewis Hamilton and Ferrari’s... 

Red Bull’s Newey Trumps KERS and DRS in the Battle Between Design and Gimmickry

Sebastian Vettel’s second comfortable victory in succession is the perfect start for a reigning world champion looking to retain his title in 2011. The German again dominated the weekend and led the Malaysian Gran Prix from start to finish—except for some juggling during pit stops—and managed his lead to nurse his tyres and car to a three-second victory over McLaren’s Jenson... 

Sebastian Vettel Untouchable in an Otherwise Forgettable Melbourne Grand Prix

Not with a bang, but with a whimper. That’s how the much-anticipated 2011 Formula 1 season got underway at Melbourne’s Albert Park circuit. Except for Nico Rosberg, of course. Sebastian Vettel picked up where he left off last year by strolling to victory in the Adrian Newey’s untouchable Red Bull RB7. In doing so, Vettel struck fear into the hearts of teams all along pit lane. While... 

Formula One 2011: Will Pirelli’s Marbles Take Edge off Latest Rule Changes?

Finally. The first blows have been struck in anger for the 2011 Formula One season. The testing is over, and all of the speculation, offseason silliness and expert prognostications are history. Now all that matters are results on the road. There have been a raft of changes since last season: adjustable rear wings, the reintroduction of KERS, new tyres, the end of the double-diffuser and f-duct and... 

Bernie Ecclestone Decides To Play God With an Eccentric F1 Sprinkler Plan

In fact, he’s considering the use of sprinklers to liven things up. According to the BBC website, Ecclestone is reported to have said that “there’s no reason why sprinklers shouldn’t happen. “There’s... 

Fernando Alonso Defends His Fans and Gives His 2010 Season a Tick of Approval

2010 Formula One Season: The Key Moments

The 2010 Formula One season has been run and won and we have seen Sebastian Vettel crowned world champion.
