Renault Engines Under Serious Threat as Red Bull, Lotus Quit Rumours Grow

Renault-powered cars have won 12 Formula One Constructors’ Championships, second only to Ferrari‘s 16. However, the French manufacturer looks to be in trouble, as they have struggled to produce a reliable, competitive power unit under the new F1 regulations. For 2014, Renault is supplying power units to four teams: Red Bull, Toro Rosso, Lotus and Caterham. It is not a coincidence that these... 

Simona De Silvestro Interview: Preparing for a Formula 1 Race Seat with Sauber

MONTREAL — The first time I saw Simona de Silvestro was from the grandstands on the weekend of the 2006 Canadian Grand Prix. She was 17 years old, driving in Formula BMW, and in two races at the Circuit Gilles-Villeneuve she finished fourth (setting the fastest lap) and then third. The next time I saw the Swiss driver was earlier this month, again in Montreal. This time, we met in the paddock... 

Is Nico Rosberg Now Favourite for 2014 Title After Austrian Grand Prix Victory?

Nico Rosberg won the Austrian Grand Prix on Sunday for his third victory of the season. Even more importantly, though, it was his third straight finish ahead of his Mercedes teammate, Lewis Hamilton. Rosberg is now 29 points ahead of the 2008 world champion in the Drivers’ standings and the clear favourite to win his first title—just ask the bookmakers. According to Oddschecker, the German... 

Gene Haas’ New Formula 1 Team Will Struggle If They Don’t Build Their Own Car

Gene Haas was in Montreal two weeks ago, visiting the paddock and looking for an engine to power his new Formula One team’s car. Although Haas originally said that Dallara would likely build the team’s first chassis, the news came last week, from Autosport‘s Jonathan Noble, that he has decided not to hire the Italian company after all. Maybe someone showed him HRT’s... 

Red Bull and the A1-Ring: How Formula 1 Returned to Austria After 11 Years

In modern Formula One, money talks. That is why there are races in Abu Dhabi and Singapore, and that is why, this weekend, the F1 travelling circus is returning to Spielberg, a small town in the Austrian Alps. In 2004, billionaire Red Bull owner Dietrich Mateschitz purchased what was then known as the A1-Ring, which had hosted the last Austrian Grand Prix the year before. That same year, he bought... 

Mark Webber and the Top 10 Formula 1 Drivers to Race at the 24 Hours of Le Mans

Former Formula One driver Mark Webber is making his return to the 24 Hours of Le Mans this weekend. His Porsche will start from fourth place, as Webber looks to finish the famous French endurance race for the first time.

How Adrian Newey’s Gradual Exit from Red Bull and Formula 1 Shakes Up the Grid

Adrian Newey‘s IQ score is not a publicly available statistic, but in Formula One terms, he is a certified genius. The Red Bull chief technical officer has designed 10 Constructors’ Championship-winning cars in his quarter-century in F1, including the last four with the Milton Keynes-based outfit. Last weekend, Red Bull announced that the 55-year-old Newey is going to be stepping back from... 

Canadian GP Not the Turning Point in Mercedes’ Dominance of 2014 F1 Season

It took seven races, but at the Canadian Grand Prix on Sunday a driver from a team other than Mercedes finally won. Red Bull’s Daniel Ricciardo took the chequered flag for the first victory of his Formula One career. Mercedes’ Nico Rosberg was second, while his teammate, Lewis Hamilton, retired with a rear brake failure. Previously, Mercedes had been unbeatable in 2014, with the only blemish... 

Daniel Ricciardo a World Champion-in-Waiting After Maiden Win at Canadian GP

MONTREAL — Daniel Ricciardo could not stop smiling after winning the Canadian Grand Prix on Sunday afternoon. “It’s not really often your dreams come true,” the 24-year-old Red Bull driver said, “but as a kid I pictured myself on the top step of a grand prix podium with a sea of people one day.” It was the affable Aussie’s first career victory, and it came... 

Canadian Grand Prix: Will the Wall of Champions Claim More Victims This Weekend?

MONTREAL — Lack of grip is a common theme at the Canadian Grand Prix this weekend. The new Formula One regulations for 2014 have reduced downforce, and combined with more powerful engines, the cars do not stick to the road the same way they have in past years. At many circuits, particularly the newer ones, this means drivers are running wide, often in paved runoff areas. At the Circuit Gilles-Villeneuve,...
