Can Formula 1 and NASCAR Coexist in the United States?

The 2014 Formula One U.S. Grand Prix is scheduled for November 2, 2014 in Austin, Texas. Some 350 kilometres to the north, in Fort Worth, the Texas 500 NASCAR race will take place on the same day.

Ranking the Drivers Most Likely to Leave Their Current Race Seat by 2015

Unlike most professional sports, Formula One does not have a free agent period or transfer window—a defined period where athletes can sign with a new team. This means that as soon as a driver is confirmed for a season with a particular team, the speculation can (and usually does) begin as to where he will be the following year. Another unique aspect of F1 is the very limited number of race seats....

Sebastian Vettel and Red Bull: The Least Dominant of the Great F1 Dynasties

Sebastian Vettel and Red Bull have dominated Formula One for most of the last four years. In that time, Vettel and his teammate, Mark Webber, have won more races than all of their rivals combined. No matter how you feel about Vettel, or whether you are a Red Bull fan, it cannot be denied that their performance has been one of the most impressive in F1 history. And yet, as Vettel was winning the final... 

Does Ferrari Need Formula 1 More Than F1 Needs the Scuderia?

Formula One without Ferrari would be like Major League Baseball without the New York Yankees or the English Premier League without Manchester United.

Jacques Villeneuve Is Right That New Formula 1 Regulations Make Sport "Fake"

Jacques Villeneuve has never been known for pulling punches. When he has something to say, he says it, a refreshing change from many drivers in the paddock. And last week, on BBC Radio 5 live, the 1997 Formula One World Champion had something to say about the current state of the sport. Villeneuve took aim at a number of targets and, for the most part, he was right on the mark.  First,... 

Formula 1 Prize Money: What Are the Rewards Per Race and Per Season?

There is a lot of money in Formula One; that is no secret. According to Reuters, the sport generated more than $1.5 billion in revenue in 2011.

At the beginning of the 2013 season, F1 CEO Bernie Ecclestone explained that... 

Imagining Formula 1 and Its Future After Bernie Ecclestone

Formula One CEO Bernie Ecclestone has been involved in the sport since 1957, as a manager, driver (it’s true!), team owner and executive. But he will (probably) not be around forever. He is currently facing a criminal trial in Germany and, if convicted, his reign at the top of the F1 world will end. He is also 83 years old, an age when most people have long-since retired, even if they are not...

Ranking the 32 Formula 1 World Champions

In 64 Formula One World Championship seasons, there have been 32 different Drivers’ champions.
