Midseason Value-for-Money Ranking of F1 Driver Salaries

With the Formula One teams off on their summer holidays, it’s time for the midseason instalment of our annual driver value-for-money rankings. By comparing the driver salaries published by Paddock Magazine (h/t F1i.com’s Michael Delaney) with the number of points each driver has scored, we can get an idea of who is underperforming and who might be due for a raise or a bump up the grid. Of... 

Can McLaren Deliver a 3rd F1 Drivers’ Championship for Fernando Alonso?

October will mark 10 years since the Brazilian Grand Prix at which Fernando Alonso clinched the second of his back-to-back Formula One titles with Renault. It seems almost silly to write it, but one of the best drivers of his generation has gone a decade without a championship. After two near-misses at Ferrari, Alonso has spent the last two years wandering in the wilderness at McLaren, another... 

Should Williams Sign Jenson Button, Felipe Massa or Someone Else for 2017?

With Mercedes, Red Bull and Ferrari already confirming their driver lineups for the 2017 Formula One season, Williams are the best-placed team with possible vacancies for next year. Naturally, Williams and their current drivers, Valtteri Bottas and Felipe Massa, have become the subject of much speculation. And aside from the present lineup, deputy team principal Claire Williams recently mentioned McLaren’s... 

Will Nico Rosberg’s Aggression Cost Him the 2016 F1 World Championship?

Everything was falling into place for Nico Rosberg to end Lewis Hamilton‘s three-race winning streak at Sunday’s German Grand Prix and reclaim the lead in the Formula One drivers’ championship that he had lost to his Mercedes team-mate the week before in Hungary. On Saturday, Rosberg qualified on pole (he won the German race from the front of the grid in 2014), but things started... 

German Grand Prix 2016 Preview: Start Time, TV Info, Weather, Schedule, Odds

After a one-year hiatus, the German Grand Prix is back. Hockenheim, in southwestern Germany, near the French border, hosts the race on Sunday. Mercifully, the German race marks the end of a ridiculous six grands prix in eight weekends and the beginning of the four-week summer break. Lewis Hamilton leads the championship for the first time this season after a dominant performance at the Hungarian Grand... 

Is Lewis Hamilton’s Hungarian Grand Prix Victory His Most Dominant of 2016?

Like Sasquatch or Kimi Raikkonen’s smile, the so-called “hot hand” may or may not exist. One thing we can be certain of, though, following Lewis Hamilton‘s victory in Sunday’s Hungarian Grand Prix, is that if the hot hand does exist, the British driver currently has it. Hamilton’s win at the Hungaroring, northeast of Budapest, was his fifth in the last six Formula... 

Hungarian Grand Prix 2016 Preview: Start Time, TV Info, Weather, Schedule, Odds

The Hungarian Grand Prix outside Budapest is the beginning of the third set of back-to-back race weekends on the Formula One calendar leading up to the traditional summer break in August.  After Canada and Azerbaijan, the teams had a week to regroup before Austria and Britain, followed by another off week leading up to the Hungarian race. This also marks the halfway point of the season, as the... 

Why Formula 1 Tyre Controversies Look Set to Continue into 2017

Formula One is trapped in some sort of Goldilocks storyline when it comes to tyre durability: First they are too soft, then too hard, then too soft again. The only difference is that F1 never seems to find a level of tyre degradation that is just right. And, based on Pirelli motorsport director Paul Hembery’s recent interview with the official F1 website, the controversy and bickering surrounding... 

Should Formula 1 Fans Boo Drivers for Their Actions on the Race Track?

Formula One, it seems, is the only professional sport where it is not acceptable for fans to express themselves with boos. After last Sunday’s British Grand Prix, some fans jeered Nico Rosberg during the podium celebrations, presumably in response to his crash with home favourite Lewis Hamilton at the previous race in Austria. “You have to understand that they’re mad, passionate fans,... 

Safety Car Start Robs British Grand Prix of Potential Drama and Excitement

After experimenting with standing starts in 2013 and 2014, IndyCar reverted exclusively to safer rolling starts in 2015. Formula One, in contrast, has always used standing starts. That said, there have been a handful of exceptions—including Sunday’s British Grand Prix—where the track was deemed too wet and races started behind the safety car. The decision to start the British Grand...
