Sebastian Vettel has been utterly dominant so far this season, having qualified his Red Bull on pole position in five of the first six races and winning five of the six in the process.

Since January, incredible events have changed the status quo of Western politics towards the Middle East, its people, and, more important, its rulers, who more often than not are “tyrants” or repressive authoritarians who are supported only because of strategic reasons. This was the case with Hosni Mubarak in Egypt. In the case of Bahrain, the United States government supports...

Icons, we all think of icons when Formula 1 is mentioned. There are few of them and one of the most powerful icons in the history of Formula 1 is a black and gold Lotus car, with a Renault engine in the back and a Senna with a green and yellow helmet. Today, Lotus Renault GP, at least for now, revealed its 2011 challenger and well, it looks nothing those classic JPS black-and-gold cars from the 1970s...

Fernando Alonso is the leader of the Formula One World Drivers’ Championship for the first time since the Bahrain Grand Prix. But he is coming to a track that should be another piece of cake for the Red Bull boys. The Formula One circus is coming to another track full of medium- and high-speed corners and relatively little straight bits. Interlagos is most comparable to Hungary, only a bit faster. The...

It’s safe to say that the buzz from both the punditry and the fans about this Formula One season has been, development.

Development was not at the forefront of the discussions...

Rain rain go away, away from here today. In the case of Formula One so far, the 2010 season could not be further from the truth. What exactly about wet tarmac makes racing so good? Formula One cars are very powerful beasts, weighing around 600kg while having more than 700bhp. If one is to look at it that way, Formula One should be the most exciting form of motorsport in the world. But the only way...

In Sebastian Vettel’s short career, we have learned thing about the young German, he’s fast-blisteringly so as a matter of fact. During the weekend he broke Michael Schumacher’s fast lap record while setting pole at the Albert Park circuit, by more than half a second. What’s so amazing about that is that Schumacher set his lap record in a car that had a three liter V-10,...

Bruno Senna had this to say Thursday in Melbourne when talking about Formula One’s testing ban on new teams: “I think, both for the new teams and the new drivers, it is very important to get some miles of testing. It would be great for us if we could test a little bit when we get to Europe after the first races, as we could take many of the kinks—the very basic things that we could...

That last name Senna bears a lot of weight. It’s a lot for one man to bear and sometimes seems like a name so heavy, that a whole nation can’t hold it up. Brazil has few national heroes, and one of them died at the peak of his career. It was, to say the least, shocking. Ayrton Senna was one of the icons of the 20th century, at least in motorsports. He was so influential, that even more...
