Sunday’s German Grand Prix will be the tenth round of the 2012 Formula 1 World Championship. Ferrari’s Fernando Alonso leads the drivers’ championship, with Red Bull duo Mark Webber and Sebastian Vettel not far behind. McLaren man Lewis Hamilton, in fourth place, is perhaps the last driver with even an outside chance of claiming the title at the end of the year. Michael Schumacher...

They has what should now be considered the best all-around car on the grid and a substantial lead in the constructors’ championship. Such strong positions don’t tend to breed crises. But Red Bull have a bit of a problem. When Mark Webber won the British Grand Prix, he closed the gap to Fernando Alonso at the top of the drivers’ standings to 13 points. He also extended his lead over...

After a truly memorable race in Valencia (never thought I’d write that), this weekend sees the Formula 1 circus descend upon Silverstone for the British Grand Prix. Back in 1950, Silverstone hosted the first race of the very first Formula 1 World Championship. In 2012, it’s the ninth round. Fernando Alonso broke the sequence in Valencia, becoming the first driver to win a second race this...

The possibility of a Formula 1 race around the streets of London has once again been raised. A fantasy circuit created by banking giant (and sponsor of everything, it appears) Santander, created with input from McLaren drivers Lewis Hamilton and Jenson Button, features a 5.1-kilometre blast around some of the city’s most famous landmarks. Buckingham Palace, Big Ben, the Houses of Parliament and...

The European Grand Prix takes place on Sunday at the Valencia Street Circuit, Spain. Fans have come to expect little from races here—since it was first held in 2008, the Valencia race has produced consistently dull and processional high-speed parades, and there’s little to suggest this year will be any different. The layout is uninspiring, it’s difficult to overtake and the dazzling...

After a brief trip across the Atlantic Ocean it’s back to Formula 1’s traditional heartland for the European Grand Prix* at the Valencia Street Circuit, Spain. The 2012 season’s thrilling start continued in Canada, with Lewis Hamilton becoming the seventh different winner from the first seven races. The list of possible winners to continue the streak is becoming shorter, but it includes...

The Canadian Grand Prix will be the seventh race of the 2012 season. The Circuit Gilles Villeneuve has produced dozens of exciting races, the simple, quick layout promoting close racing and providing plenty of opportunities to overtake. And with the chance of seeing the seventh different winner in the first seven races this year, the event promises to be a great antidote to the tedium of Monaco. Trying...

The world of Formula 1 heads to the Americas for the first time in 2012 this week for the Canadian Grand Prix—and the schedule-makers couldn’t have chosen a better antidote for the disappointing race in Monaco. The Circuit Gilles Villeneuve is named after one of the most exciting drivers of all time, and the races it produces are usually among the best of any given season. Last year’s...

The 2012 Monaco Grand Prix was a bit of a damp squib. The promised rain never arrived, and overtaking was all but impossible. The most interesting part of Sunday’s action could well have been that annual moment of wondering whether someone was going to spray champagne on Prince Albert. Not this time, sadly. Yes, it was a bit of a stinker. But a far more interesting event took place during the...
