Realistic 2015 Expectations for Kimi Raikkonen After Spanish Grand Prix

At the Bahrain Grand Prix last month, Ferrari‘s Kimi Raikkonen ended a 25-race streak without a podium finish. Only one other time in his Formula One career had he gone even 17 races without finishing in the top three—and those were the first 17 races of his career, in 2001 with Sauber. That streak ended at the first race of 2002, where the “Iceman” was a fighting third in his... 

Imagining a Formula 1 Future Without Red Bull

It seems we can no longer go a week without some new threat from Red Bull to pull out of Formula One. The latest, at last weekend’s Spanish Grand Prix, was vocalized by Helmut Marko, team adviser and talent-spotter extraordinaire. “If we don’t have a competitive engine in the near future, then either Audi is coming or we are out,” said the Austrian former F1 driver, per the... 

Is Nico Rosberg’s Spanish Grand Prix Win a Turning Point in the 2015 F1 Season?

It took 182 days, but Nico Rosberg finally beat his Mercedes team-mate Lewis Hamilton again in a Formula One race on Sunday at the Spanish Grand Prix. Those six months must have felt like six years to Rosberg, who beat Hamilton at last year’s Brazilian Grand Prix but then lost the title at the final race before finishing behind his British rival at the first four grands prix of 2015. Rosberg’s... 

Looming Formula 1 Engine Penalties Could Be Good for Fans, Bad for Teams

In the 2014 Formula One season, the first grid penalty for exceeding the power unit component limit was not handed out until Daniil Kvyat received one at the Italian Grand Prix, the 13th race of the season. In total, only six penalties were assessed. This year, with Renault taking a step backward in terms of reliability and Honda struggling in the first year of their F1 return, it looks like there... 

The History of Volkswagen Brands in Formula 1

Last weekend’s resignation of Volkswagen Group chairman Ferdinand Piech has potentially opened the door for the company to enter Formula One. Piech and F1 chief Bernie Ecclestone have an acrimonious relationship and last December, the BBC’s Andrew Benson wrote, “At least one of them would need to leave their current position before a VW Group brand could enter F1.” Now that... 

Can Williams Win a Formula 1 Race in 2015?

After scoring four podium finishes in the final five races of the 2014 Formula One season, it may seem like Williams have taken a step back this year. So far, through four races in the 2015 season, their best results are two fourth-place finishes. But going back to the beginning of 2014, the Grove-based team is actually well ahead of their scoring pace. After four races last year, Williams had 36 points... 

Was Mercedes’ Television Coverage Intentionally Cut at the Bahrain Grand Prix?

At last weekend’s Bahrain Grand Prix, Mercedes’ Lewis Hamilton cruised to his third victory in four races this season. Meanwhile, his team-mate, Nico Rosberg, spent the evening battling the Ferraris of Kimi Raikkonen and Sebastian Vettel. After the race, one of the talking points was that the television coverage seemed to miss some of the key moments and, in particular, that the Mercedes... 

F1 Data Analysis: How Quickly Are McLaren-Honda Improving?

It was always going to be a struggle for McLaren this year, taking on a new engine manufacturer one year after Formula One introduced its new V6 hybrid power units. Yes, Honda had an additional year to observe the other manufacturers and develop their engine, but they were also missing a year of on-track data and race experience. Through four races in 2015, those deficiencies have manifested themselves... 

Lewis Hamilton Wins Bahrain GP, but Ferrari’s Pace Ominous for Nico Rosberg

Nico Rosberg was prepared for another wheel-to-wheel battle at Sunday’s Bahrain Grand Prix—he just expected it to be with his Mercedes team-mate, Lewis Hamilton, rather than the Ferraris of Kimi Raikkonen and Sebastian Vettel. Instead, Hamilton was able to maintain a steady gap in front of the chasers and never really seemed threatened as he cruised to his third victory in four Formula... 

Nico Rosberg Can’t Catch Lewis Hamilton in Bahrain Grand Prix Qualifying

The 2015 Formula One season has barely started, but Nico Rosberg must feel his chances of winning the Drivers’ Championship are already slipping away. On Saturday in Bahrain, his Mercedes team-mate, Lewis Hamilton, captured his fourth straight pole position, hammering home another nail in Rosberg‘s proverbial coffin. Just before Rosberg started his final qualifying lap, the BBC’s...
