When Maria de Villota’s Marussia MR-01 crashed into a support truck at Duxford airfield in Cambridge on July 3, 2012 a promising career was cut short. De Villota had been completing a straightline test when her car struck a team support truck while returning to the pits.

When Mark Webber’s Korean Grand Prix ended in a fiery blaze, it at first appeared as if his Red Bull had suffered a rare engine blowout. The reason for the fire was, in fact, due to an oil leak that dripped onto the exhaust, but it did get me thinking whether we will see more engine failures in 2014 with the introduction of the 1.6-litre turbocharged V6 units.

Of course, they’re not everyone’s cup of tea, and many champions have voiced their grievances at having a result compromised by a slower car holding them up.

When Romain Grosjean made a small mistake in the penultimate corner late in the Korean Grand Prix, teammate Kimi Raikkonen pounced like the opportunistic tiger he is to snatch second position from his grasp. Fair enough, you may say. Raikkonen has always been a racer and a great passer, and a leopard never changes its spots—or a tiger its stripes. But it was clear from the radio exchanges between...

As Sebastian Vettel closes in on a fourth world drivers’ title, the Korean Grand Prix threw up a number of other interesting stories. Pirelli are once again on the defensive, Paul di Resta’s future is in the balance and the issue of team orders has again reared its ugly head. To top things off, the FIA has accepted responsibility for a dangerous incident that saw a fire truck head out onto...

Now that Formula 1 has a place in the homeland of U.S. stock car racing in Texas, fans of both sports will get the chance to judge for themselves which is the better spectacle. Whilst it’s true that the two racing series are like chalk and cheese in terms of machinery and tactics, there are a few good arguments as to why F1 is the better spectacle.

Should Sebastian Vettel decide to stay at Red Bull beyond the end of his current contract and if Adrian Newey continues to turn out world beating machines, the German ace is set to dominate Formula 1 for the next decade. Much of the groundwork for Vettel’s current success was laid in the decade we know as the “noughties” when another German hero of his was smashing records left,...
