Formula 1 Pre-Season Testing: 6 Observations from Day 2 at Jerez

The second day of the first pre-season test of the eagerly-anticipated 2014 season was a day designated for wet-weather running. Although rain was forecast, it was the job of a tractor to douse the circuit in water. But after an initial soaking, the track quickly dried and the lap times improved from Tuesday. Aside from running in both wet and dry conditions, there were several other observations from... 

Can Ron Dennis Return McLaren to Front of Formula 1 Grid?

When McLaren unveiled their new challenger for the 2014 season at an online launch last Friday, there was a distinct air of optimism in the Woking factory. In truth, attitudes could hardly have been anything else but optimistic after a disastrous 2013 season that saw not a single podium finish to the famous team’s name. But the real reason for the upswing in the moods of the McLaren staff has... 

Formula 1 Preseason Testing: 6 Observations from Day 1 at Jerez

With more hype surrounding the 2014 Formula One season than any other in recent memory, cars hit the circuit for the first of a four-day test in Jerez, Spain on Tuesday.

So were any of those questions answered on the opening day? We’re... 

Why 2014’s F1 Cars Are the Ugliest Yet

The launch of several of this season’s Formula One cars have so far met with almost universal condemnation that they are amongst the ugliest ever to grace the sport. Williams were the first to shock the eyes with their FW36 challenger which features a rather bizarre anteater or finger nose. Next came the McLaren MP4-29 with a weird-looking, tripod-effect front wing, then Lotus with its odd tuning-fork... 

Formula One’s Latest Rumours and Talk: Alonso Positive, Button Focused and More

With many teams having already unveiled their 2014 challengers and the rest set to do so during the first pre-season test at Jerez this week, the buzz of excitement for the new Formula One season is well and truly back.

Ranking the F1 Grid by Drivers’ Use of Twitter, Facebook and Instagram

The great thing about sport is that everyone has their own ideas on who’s the man of the moment and who needs to buck up their ideas. For countless years, such opinions have been voiced over a cup of coffee in the office canteen or a quiet pint or two down the local pub. Not any more. Since the invention of social media, athletes have opened themselves up to scrutiny and fan worship in equal...

F1 2013 Head-to-Head: Lewis Hamilton vs. Nico Rosberg at Mercedes

In Lewis Hamilton and Nico Rosberg, Mercedes has arguably the strongest line-up on the F1 grid, although Ferrari may have something to say about that this year. Many expected a tough contest between the two good friends last year, and so it panned out, with Hamilton edging his teammate by just 18 points by season’s end. Points are one thing, but did Hamilton really get the better of Rosberg in...

Why Ron Howard’s ‘Rush’ Deserved Oscar Recognition

Formula One racing and movies are two of my favourite things. So when today’s Oscar nominations were released, I was understandably disappointed to see Ron Howard’s Rush miss out among the films competing for the industry’s biggest awards. What makes Rush such a special movie is that it wasn’t purely a flick for F1 fans and petrolheads as may have been the case with others of...
