The last time a driver went on a winning streak as dominant as Sebastian Vettel’s current run of form was in 2009 when Jenson Button won six of the opening seven races of the season.

Kimi Raikkonen turned 34 on Thursday, and it’s fair to say that he’s given Formula One fans a lot to talk about since he burst onto the scene with Sauber back in 2001.

With the 2013 Formula 1 season pretty much done and dusted, the focus on the development of next year’s machines is already well underway.

Crashes and smashes are all an integral part of F1 Racing. Opening lap collisions between cars are commonplace and only as far back as the Korean Grand Prix did we see Mark Webber’s race end in a fiery blaze.

Massa appeared not to observe the message to concede his fifth place position with Alonso having to fight his own way through. It is not the first time this season that...

Sebastian Vettel took a giant leap towards a fourth successive world title after claiming a fourth win at Suzuka in five years. The German came into the race knowing that if he won and title rival Fernando Alonso finished lower than eighth he would be champion. But it was never really a realistic scenario as Alonso drove an assured race to finish fourth to make Vettel wait until India. It had looked...
