Lewis Hamilton Does Not Deserve Criticism, Punishment for Ignoring Team Orders

There was plenty of handwringing and questioning after Sunday’s Abu Dhabi Grand Prix about whether Lewis Hamilton‘s tactics were on the up-and-up. In a last-ditch effort to swipe the Formula One title from Nico Rosberg, his Mercedes team-mate, Hamilton drove as slowly as he could, attempting to push Rosberg back into the clutches of Sebastian Vettel and Max Verstappen. Hamilton needed a... 

Abu Dhabi Grand Prix 2016 Preview: Start Time, TV Info, Weather, Schedule, Odds

So it all comes down to this. After the longest season in Formula One history, the 21st and final race will decide the world championship between Mercedes team-mates Lewis Hamilton and Nico Rosberg. Rosberg has the advantage, sitting 12 points ahead in the drivers’ standings, but Hamilton has won the last three races, albeit with Rosberg knowing he just had to finish second in each of them to... 

Formula 1 Must Address Financial Inequalities Before Expanding Race Calendar

Quick show of hands: Who wishes this Formula One season had an extra three or four races? What, you don’t want to see a few more near-guaranteed Mercedes victories? But that may be exactly where we are headed. Liberty, the U.S. media company that is purchasing the sport’s commercial rights, wants to expand the calendar from its current 21 races (itself a record number) to maximise its investment. “There... 

Reasons for Hope at McLaren After the Ouster of CEO Ron Dennis

McLaren‘s boardroom may be in turmoil, with the team announcing the ouster of Ron Dennis as chief executive, but their on-track results, while not near McLaren‘s historical levels, are starting to show promise. Glancing down the Formula One drivers’ standings, the most surprising thing isn’t Nico Rosberg leading Lewis Hamilton in the title race, nor is it Daniel Ricciardo... 

Max Verstappen Channels Ayrton Senna with Magical, Wet Brazilian GP Performance

Nico Rosberg might win the 2016 Formula One drivers’ championship, but even if he does dethrone Mercedes team-mate Lewis Hamilton, the German will only be keeping the seat warm for the heir apparent: Max Verstappen. In Sunday’s rainy Brazilian Grand Prix, the 19-year-old Dutchman (Dutchchild?) demonstrated again and again why he had drawn comparisons to Ayrton Senna, one... 

Brazilian Grand Prix 2016 Preview: Start Time, TV Info, Weather, Schedule, Odds

Nico Rosberg has won the last two Brazilian Grands Prix and, with Formula One descending on Sao Paulo again this weekend, he can wrap up his first world championship with a victory. Lewis Hamilton, meanwhile, has never won in Brazil, although he did clinch his first title at the Interlagos circuit in dramatic fashion back in 2008.  The battle between the Mercedes team-mates has swung back and... 

Lewis Hamilton Interview: Distractions, Social Media and His Approach to Racing

Lewis Hamilton is an easy target. He is young, rich, successful, attractive and, it must be said, he seems to enjoy showing it all off. He is also the only current Formula One driver with any pop culture currency, which must be unsettling to those who would rather think of them as joyless automatons, singularly dedicated to the craft of driving and shaving another hundredth-of-a-second off off their... 

Formula 1 Book Review: ‘What Doesn’t Kill You…’ by Johnny Herbert

I bet you didn’t know that Johnny Herbert once (jokingly) tried to climb into a bathtub with future Formula One world champion Mika Hakkinen while they were sharing a hotel room as Lotus team-mates. Maybe you didn’t want to know that, either, or it feels like too much information, but Herbert doesn’t hold much back in his new autobiography, What Doesn’t Kill You…,... 

Biggest Late-Season Comebacks in Formula 1 History

Lewis Hamilton is in the midst of what would be a historic comeback, should he be able to catch his Mercedes team-mate, Nico Rosberg, for the Formula One drivers’ title. Historic, but not altogether unprecedented. With four races remaining this season, Hamilton trailed Rosberg by 33 points, with 25 available for a victory. Two straight victories for the Brit, with his team-mate following him... 

Formula 1 Must Put a Time Limit on Post-Race Investigations and Penalties

Imagine turning off the television after watching your favourite football club celebrate a victory only to see in the newspaper the next morning that they actually lost. Ridiculous, right? Well, that scenario is becoming an all-too-common occurrence in Formula One. At Sunday’s Mexican Grand Prix, Daniel Ricciardo crossed the line fifth and was disappointed to miss out on one of the best...
