Winners and Losers from Formula 1 Testing in Jerez

The first Formula One preseason test is now complete and everyone can begin poring over the results trying to determine which teams have an edge as we head toward the 2015 season. As my colleague Neil James demonstrated, lap times from the first test are unreliable predictors of future success. But that will not stop Ferrari fans, for example, from getting excited that their team topped the time sheets... 

2015 F1 Cars Show Big Improvement over 2014 Models After 1st Day of Testing

Preseason testing for the 2015 Formula One season began Sunday at the Circuito de Jerez in southern Spain. For anyone who complained that the 2014 F1 cars were too slow, the early results look promising. Last year was the first season of a new V6 hybrid engine formula and, with the restrictions on in-season development of the power units, it was always going to take some time for the new cars... 

F1 2015 Head-to-Head: Daniel Ricciardo vs. Daniil Kvyat at Red Bull

On paper, the battle between Daniel Ricciardo and Daniil Kvyat at Red Bull this season looks lopsided. Ricciardo is entering his fifth season of Formula One, and he scored three victories in 2014, thoroughly beating four-time defending world champion Sebastian Vettel in the process. Kvyat, meanwhile, has just one year of F1 race experience, and much of it was spent battling Lotus and Sauber at the... 

F1 Preseason Testing: 5 Storylines to Watch in Jerez

The first Formula One preseason test starts on Sunday, February 1 at the Circuito de Jerez in southern Spain. It has only been two months since Lewis Hamilton won the 2014 world championship in Abu Dhabi, but we’re already on the cusp of a new season. After a winter of chatter regarding engine-development loopholes, when Hamilton will sign a new contract and Jenson Button’s wedding, the... 

Today’s Young Drivers Face a More Difficult Road to F1 Than Past Generations

Currently, there are 18 race seats on the 2015 Formula One grid. Maybe Marussia or Caterham will make a last-minute comeback, but for now, just 18 drivers will make the start at the Australian Grand Prix in March. F1 is an exclusive sport—it always has been. With few exceptions, drivers have always required both talent and money (either their own or a sponsor’s) to make it to the top of... 

5 Controversial F1 Moments

Today is the 33rd anniversary of the 1982 South African Grand Prix, which was nearly cancelled due to a strike by the Grand Prix Drivers’ Association. The problem, which was resolved just in time for the race to take place, consisted of a change to the drivers’ Super Licences, which would have restricted them from changing teams. In remembrance of that race-that-almost-wasn’t, we... 

German Grand Prix Problems Highlight Importance of Traditional F1 Markets

Since 2008, the venue of the German Grand Prix has alternated between Hockenheim and the Nurburgring. Both tracks are a shadow of their former selves, yet they never had trouble drawing fans during the Michael Schumacher years. In fact, in 1995, 1996 and from 1999 to 2006, there were two German races each season. Hockenheim hosted the German Grand Prix, while the Nurburgring held the European Grand... 

Which F1 Rookie Will Have the Biggest Impact in 2015?

On March 15 in Melbourne, three rookies will make their Formula One debuts. Carlos Sainz Jr. and Max Verstappen will be in the cockpit for Toro Rosso, while Felipe Nasr will take the wheel of a Sauber. All three have been successful in their junior careers, and they combined for 21 wins last season in Formula Renault 3.5, Formula Three and GP2, respectively. But which driver will have the biggest impact... 

F1 2015 Head-to-Head: Sebastian Vettel vs. Kimi Raikkonen at Ferrari

Sebastian Vettel and Kimi Raikkonen are two of the superstars of the last decade of Formula One. They have combined for 59 grand prix victories since 2003 and between them have won five of the last eight drivers’ championships. Now, they are team-mates at Ferrari. One year ago, Ferrari looked to have the best driver line-up on the grid, partnering Raikkonen with another former world champ, Fernando... 

An Early Look Ahead to Possible 2016 F1 Driver Line-Ups

A favourite parlour game in Formula One circles is predicting which drivers will move where at the conclusion of each season. Usually, the speculation heats up in August, when the teams take a month-long break from racing and there is not a ton of other news. Each year, though, it seems like the driver carousel talk begins earlier and earlier. The 2015 season has not even begun—heck, testing...
