Formula 1: French Grand Prix Set to Return

The French Grand Prix will return to the Formula 1 calendar in the very near future, but no date has yet been set. Circuit Paul Ricard, which last hosted a Grand Prix in 1990, will be the venue for the race and will alternate with the Belgian Grand Prix at Spa-Francorchamps. French Prime Minister Francois Fillon said in an announcement on Friday: “We are working on the idea of hosting a Grand... 

Formula 1: The Rising and Falling Stars of the First 2 Races

The 2012 FIA Formula 1 World Championship has got off to a cracking start. There are a number of reasons I say that, but the major factor for me has been the unpredictability.  Good practice pace hasn’t necessarily meant good qualifying times, and good qualifying times have certainly not translated into unbeatable race speed. Rain or no rain, it’s unlikely anyone thought Fernando Alonso... 

F1 Australian Grand Prix: 6 Things We Learned from Friday Practice

After what seemed like years, the 2012 Formula 1 season finally got under way at Albert Park, Melbourne.  This was the first chance we were going to get to see all 24 cars on the track together, and hopefully gain some idea of how quick the cars truly were. So naturally, the track was wet. Fortunately it was from rain before the session, not during, but it took almost an hour for the circuit to... 

Formula 1: The Six Drivers with the Most to Prove in 2012

The 2012 season is less than a week away, and while everyone has something prove over the next nine months, some have more to prove than others. The underachievers.  Drivers who got blown away by their teammate in 2011.  Men who appear to have been given one final chance to show they can cut it at the top level. And of course the pay drivers, desperately seeking the affirmation that they... 

Formula 1 Third Test: Times from Day 4 at Barcelona

Sunday was the fourth and final day of the third test at the Circuit de Catalunya.  This was the last chance for the teams to run their cars before the first race weekend in Melbourne, just two weeks away. Lewis Hamilton, Fernando Alonso, Sebastian Vettel, Michael Schumacher, Kamui Kobayashi, Nico Hulkenberg and Vitaly Petrov replaced their teammates.  Pastor Maldonado returned to share the... 

Formula 1 Third Test: Times from Day 3 at Barcelona

Day three of the third test at the Circuit de Catalunya took place on Saturday, and a sunny day was forecast, with a top temperature of 15°C (59°F). But we all know meteorologists can get it wrong from time to time, and sure enough, the dry running was ended mid-afternoon by rain and a bit of hail. The game of musical seats continued, with Heikki Kovalainen and Bruno Senna the only men driving... 

Formula 1 Third Test: Times from Day Two at Barcelona

Dense fog greeted the drivers at the start of the second day of the third test at the Circuit de Catalunya, near Barcelona. As the medical helicopter would have been unable to take off in the reduced visibility, the teams had to wait half an hour for the fog to clear before they were allowed to venture out.  Sebastian Vettel, Fernando Alonso, Lewis Hamilton, Kamui Kobayashi, Michael Schumacher,... 

Formula 1 Third Test: Times from Day One at Barcelona

The final preseason F1 test got underway on Thursday at the Circuit de Catalunya, near Barcelona. The weather proved to be fine, with a daytime high of 17°C (63°F) and a light southeasterly wind at the Spanish track. However, the fortunes of Marussia and HRT were not so bright.  A failed crash test ended the Russian team’s hopes of doing any testing before the first race, while HRT—who... 

Vitaly Petrov Replaces Jarno Trulli at Caterham Formula 1 Team

In a not entirely unexpected move, Jarno Trulli has been replaced at Caterham by Vitaly Petrov. Rumours suggesting Trulli’s seat was under threat from Petrov had been circulating since December, but after the Italian drove in the first test at Jerez last week, it appeared he might be safe. However, following lengthy discussions and difficulties with his sponsors, Petrov has finally been announced... 

Formula 1: HRT Write Off 2012 Chances

HRT have announced that they are likely to start the 2012 season in worse shape than they were in at the end of 2011.  So we’re looking at worse than battling, usually in vain, to avoid locking out the back row of the grid.  Ouch. The primary reason is that the team are transferring their racing operations from Germany to Spain—part of team owner Thesan Capital’s long-term...
