What If Lewis Hamilton Had Signed with Red Bull for the 2013 Formula 1 Season?

In his last few years at McLaren, Lewis Hamilton was clearly growing frustrated. After winning the Formula One drivers’ championship in 2008—just his second year in the sport—his results from 2009 to 2012 were fifth, fourth, fifth and fourth, respectively. Eventually, that frustration led to Hamilton signing with Mercedes for the 2013 season, jumping on board at just the right moment,... 

Formula 1 Drivers We’d Like to See in the Broadcast Booth When They Retire

This Formula One offseason has been relatively drama-free, at least on the sporting side. Most teams had already announced their 2016 driver lineups before the end of the 2015 season, with few changes. In the F1 broadcasting world, though, things have been more tumultuous. First, the BBC announced it wanted out of its broadcast deal early, and then Channel 4 stepped into the breach, taking over the... 

Will Troubled South American Economies Cause Problems for Formula 1?

With South American countries facing, “an economic storm of the likes the region hasn’t seen in decades,” per Joshua Goodman of the Associated Press, it is reasonable for Formula One fans to ask how the sport’s future on the continent might be affected. Brazil and Argentina, in particular, have longstanding ties to F1, producing four world champions between them that have won... 

How Far Up the Formula 1 Grid Can Manor Go in 2016 with New Mercedes Engines?

With Manor’s announcement last October that it will be using Mercedes engines for the 2016 Formula One season, the team finally has the potential to compete with—and perhaps beat—some of the more established teams on the grid. “Potential” because the team still has some distinct disadvantages compared to others in the sport—most glaringly, its financial situation.... 

2007 Canadian Grand Prix: Revisiting Lewis Hamilton’s First Formula 1 Victory

In 2007, Lewis Hamilton exploded into Formula One with McLaren, finishing on the podium at his first nine races (at the time, tied for the third-longest podium streak in F1 history) and taking victory in just his sixth grand prix. In honour of his 31st birthday, on January 7, we are looking back at that first win, the 2007 Canadian Grand Prix. It’s hard to believe, but the 2016 season will... 

Formula 1 Personalities and Their ‘Star Wars’ Alter Egos

Like many of us in these exciting days following the release of Star Wars: The Force Awakens, Mercedes AMG Petronas executive director Toto Wolff has Star Wars on his mind. Or at least he did recently, when he compared the Mercedes team—which has won the last two Formula One World Drivers’ Championships—to the dark side of the Force. Speaking with the Mail‘s Oliver Holt,... 

Comparing Kimi Raikkonen’s Performances for Ferrari in 2014 and 2015

Before his return to Ferrari for 2014, Kimi Raikkonen had finished ahead of his team-mate in the Formula One drivers’ championship in all but three of his 11 seasons in the sport. The exceptions were his first two years in F1 and the 2008 season—the year after his lone world championship—when Felipe Massa outscored him and nearly won the title at the final race. Even after the now-36-year-old... 

Formula 1 Needs to Get Its Act Together in the United States

Just as Formula One is finally, possibly clawing its way into the collective American sporting consciousness, it is all set to go bust. Again. In 2016, the Haas F1 Team will make its debut as the first American entry since 1977, Alexander Rossi could be behind the wheel of a Mercedes-powered (read: competitive) Manor car and Americans will be able to watch it all thanks to a broadcast deal with NBC.... 

Are Toro Rosso the Team to Watch for the 2016 Formula 1 Season?

Toro Rosso memorably scored their first Formula One victory at the Italian Grand Prix in September 2008 and then finished the season 10 points ahead of their parent team, Red Bull (the first and only time that has happened). At the end of the year, Sebastian Vettel—the victorious driver on that rainy autumn day—was promoted to Red Bull and promptly repeated his feat, taking the Bulls’... 

Assessing Nico Rosberg’s Options Should Mercedes Not Renew His Contract

It may sound crazy, but twice in the past three weeks, Mercedes executive director Toto Wolff has dropped hints that the team is not exactly thrilled with its driver lineup—or at least the way the drivers relate to each other. First, he told Motorsport.com’s Jonathan Noble that if the strained relationship between Lewis Hamilton and Nico Rosberg begins negatively affecting the team, Mercedes...
