Formula 1 is a sport with many years of history and many of the greatest drivers ever.

Mario, Michael and Marco: The 3rd Generation of Andretti in Formula 1?

The Andretti family has had a strange relationship with Formula 1.  It has never been easy to come across the Atlantic in either direction. Only a few drivers have pulled it off. Sebastien Bourdais didn’t make it in F1; neither did Michael Andretti or Alex Zanardi. All of them were champions in the United States, but couldn’t do the same in Formula 1. Some of this... 

Formula 1: What 2011 Holds for Lotus, Hispania and Marussia Virgin

In 2010, the three newest additions to the grid, Lotus, Hispania and Virgin, were at the back having their own private feud. They never really quite got up to the pace of the rest of the grid, despite their best efforts. The Lotus was a conservative car (when first released it had the down force of a 2003 Minardi), the Virgin car had a fuel tank that was too small had the CFD design... 

Formula One’s Big Three: Who Looks Like Being the Dominant Team in 2011

Formula 1 in the United States: One of the Great Mysteries

In the sport of Formula 1, mysteries will always exist. What was the point of the Andrea Moda team, who is the greatest driver of all time and why can’t the new tracks be more interesting and promote overtaking and close racing? One mystery in particular, despite many efforts, has remained: Why has Formula 1 never gotten a strong and secure foothold in the United States of America? Over... 

Lola and Its Formula 1 Attempt: When Years of Know How Meant Nothing

The Lola group has been involved in Formula 1 in some form or another many times. On many of these occasions, they were constructing cars for other people to use. All of the cars they built for other people were never particularly strong. In 1995, a prototype was built and Allan Mcnish was used as a driver. In 1996, after years of providing cars for other people, Lola decided to have a full works... 

Formula 1 and Fashion Coming Together For a Team Effort

The period between 1985 and 1995 is filled with some truly great names. Alain Prost, Ayrton Senna, Nigel Mansell, Keke Rosberg and Niki Lauda to name just a few. The ten years is filled with great drivers and some great racing. The ten years is also filled with some examples of the complete opposite of the this. Filled with drivers who only got in the sport to help teams that were in their death throws... 

Ferrari In the Cart Series: It Very Nearly Happened

Ferrari is the only team that has competed in every season of Formula 1 since the drivers championship was brought in 1950 (yes, I am aware they didn’t actually take part in the first race despite being entered). The team has won more championships (drivers and constructors) than any other. More wins, more fastest laps, more points, more pole positions, the records just go... 

The Champion That Never Saw the Final Flag Fall

Many unenviable statistics exist in Formula 1. David Kennedy holds the record of the most DNQ’s without ever managing to qualifying. Claudio Langes holds the record for the most DNPQ’s without qualifying. There are some tragic statistics exist too with more than a driver per season being killed for the first two decades of the sport as a championship. My focus for this...
