Assessing Fernando Alonso’s Performances in 2013: How Close to His Best Is He?

I recently assessed Fernando Alonso’s season so far at the halfway point of the 2013 season, and my conclusion was that he was my driver of the year to date. That was before another stellar drive in Belgium that saw him finish second behind you know who. His drive went some way to reinforcing my opinion, and that of many others, that Alonso is arguably the most complete driver on the grid and... 

Formula 1 Paddock: Latest Gossip and Rumours

In today’s latest gossip from around the Formula One paddock there are contrasting opinions as to Daniel Ricciardo’s role at Red Bull, news of his replacement at Toro Rosso, a driver set to leave Sauber and Fernando Alonso moving into cycling.   Ricciardo allowed to challenge Vettel. Or maybe not… Following the announcement that Daniel Ricciardo will partner Sebastian Vettel... 

Should Pirelli Be Upset If There Is Another Supplier of Formula 1 Tyres?

A little earlier this season I wrote an article on whether or not a tyre war would be a good thing for Formula One. My argument, for one of many reasons, was that it would be a bad thing as it would lead to a big discrepancy of performance should one manufacturer gain a big upper hand. One supplier at least keeps a constant and more level playing field with every team in the same boat. A massive 82... 

Why Kimi Raikkonen’s Lotus Title Challenge Is Still Very Much Alive

Following his second-place finish at the Hungarian Grand Prix, Kimi Raikkonen moved ahead of Fernando Alonso to second in the drivers’ standings albeit still 38 points behind leader Sebastian Vettel. Many were talking up his title chances, but almost four long weeks and a Belgian Grand Prix DNF later and Raikkonen is now 63 points adrift and suddenly out of the title race again. So is it now... 

5 Things Daniel Ricciardo and Sebastian Vettel Must Learn About Each Other

The news that Daniel Ricciardo has been confirmed as Sebastian Vettel’s Red Bull teammate for the 2014 season brings to an end one of the worst kept secrets of the midseason break. It’s surely a foregone conclusion that as the team leader, Vettel will take his young Aussie teammate to the cleaners in 2014 and have all the backing to do so. Or will he? Ricciardo will surely have done his... 

Ranking Rush in the Top 10 Formula 1 Films and Documentaries

To say I’m excited about the UK release of RUSH on September 13 is something of an understatement.  Formula One and movies are two of my favourite things, so having Ron Howard put the them together to celebrate one of the greatest F1 seasons ever known and you get a measure of where I am. Many of the recent press reviews for RUSH are already extremely favourable but I’m sadly not in... 

Ranking the Top 10 Number 2 Drivers in Formula 1 History

With the announcement that Daniel Ricciardo will join Sebastian Vettel at the Red Bull team expected during or shortly after the Italian Grand Prix weekend, the young Australian will already be thinking about how he will match up against the three-time world champion.

Rating the F1 Team Principals Halfway Through the 2013 Season

If you thought being a Formula One driver was a tough job, then spare a thought for the team principals. They not only have to manage the day to day demands of their drivers but also ensure all of the other departments are working smoothly and coherently from the design and tech to the powertrain and chassis departments. They also have to deal with the demands of the press on race weekends and spread... 

Ranking the Top 5 Drivers Currently Not in F1

The question as to who are the best drivers currently not racing in Formula One is not an easy one to answer. Several variables and factors come into the equation. What series are they currently racing in? Are the circuits and cars comparable? Are they racing towards the tail end of their careers or just starting out on a journey that could lead them to F1 in the future? I’m going to base my... 

The 10 Most Embarrassing F1 Media Stunts

Whilst watching television the other day, I was painfully reminded why Formula 1 drivers really should just be on our screens doing their primary job of driving cars fast. Seeing Jenson Button advertise Santander Bank, I got to thinking about other occasions when the media has not exactly portrayed the sport in the best light. Here then are 10 of the most cringeworthy media stunts of recent times. Begin...
