Besides the brutally honest Lewis Hamilton, few will openly admit to a downturn in performance with contracts up for renewal, but there are some telltale signs. Uncharacteristic driving errors and end-of-season malaise are good gauges, but perhaps the best barometer is how they have been faring against teammates in the same machinery both during...

With only two races remaining in what has been another long Formula One season, you would be forgiven for thinking the drivers are already winding down in preparation for a well-earned break.

Paul di Resta’s sixth-place finish in Sunday’s Abu Dhabi Grand Prix may just have been enough to persuade employer’s Force India to give him one more season to prove his worth. It is not too much of an understatement to say that going into Sunday’s race, the Scot was under enormous pressure to deliver the goods with his Formula One career on the line. But deliver he did, ...
