Jackie Stewart Tells B/R How He Brought Formula 1 and Heineken Together

MONTREAL — Formula One officially announced its long-rumoured Heineken sponsorship deal at the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve on Thursday with a large press conference/party befitting one of the world’s largest breweries. While the deal is good news for the sport as a whole, it could further exacerbate the preexisting financial inequality between the individual teams. Also, when companies... 

How Will Alexander Rossi’s Indianapolis 500 Victory Affect His Formula 1 Future?

By now, you’ve read all about Alexander Rossi’s victory at the 100th Indianapolis 500. After a lifetime of trying—and briefly succeeding—to break into Formula One, the 24-year-old Californian sputtered over the finish line in his first try at America’s most famous race. During the inevitable media storm that followed his Indy win, Rossi was asked several times about his... 

New 2017 Formula 1 Regulations Risk Spoiling the Decreasing Gap Between Teams

In the third season of Formula One’s V6 hybrid engine era, fans are finally being treated to a taste of the long-promised performance convergence between the teams. Unfortunately, the improved competition could be undone by the regulation changes to be introduced in 2017. Yes, Mercedes have still won five of the first six races this year, but there are promising signs: Ferrari should have won... 

Lewis Hamilton Rekindles Formula 1 Title Fight with Monaco Grand Prix Victory

In 2015, a pit stop error cost Mercedes’ Lewis Hamilton the Monaco Grand Prix. On Sunday, a mistake in the pits by the Red Bull team handed him a victory in the principality.  Pit stops are always important in Formula One, but that importance is magnified in Monaco’s tight confines, where overtaking is so difficult. Despite looking quicker for most of Sunday’s race, Red Bull’s... 

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

After a spectacularly unpredictable Spanish Grand Prix, where Lewis Hamilton took Nico Rosberg out on Lap 1 and Max Verstappen claimed his maiden victory, Formula One heads down the Mediterranean coast to Monaco. The Monaco Grand Prix was first held in 1929 and has been run continuously since 1955. Run through the tight, twisty streets of the city, Monaco remains perhaps the toughest test of the season... 

Rumoured Heineken Deal Good for Formula 1, but Not Necessarily Individual Teams

The Netherlands is the centre of the Formula One universe this week. First, there was Dutch driver Max Verstappen’s astonishing win in Spain, and now there are rumours that brewing giant Heineken is set to announce a new sponsorship deal with the racing series. The agreement is said to be worth $150 million over five years, according to a report in Dutch newspaper De Telegraaf (h/t... 

Mercedes Made the Right Call in Handling of Lewis Hamilton-Nico Rosberg Crash

The only surprising thing about Lewis Hamilton‘s collision with Nico Rosberg at the Spanish Grand Prix is that it did not happen sooner. For more than two years, the Mercedes team-mates have been duelling head-to-head for Formula One championships, yet this is the first time they have both retired from a race due to a crash with each other. Since the beginning of 2014, Hamilton and Rosberg... 

Max Verstappen Living Up to Ayrton Senna Comparisons with Spanish Grand Prix Win

In the 1990s, there were 10 first-time Formula One grand prix winners. In the 2000s, there were 14. This decade, at least until Sunday, there had only been three: Nico Rosberg, Pastor Maldonado and Daniel Ricciardo. Red Bull and Mercedes (and, more specifically, Sebastian Vettel and Lewis Hamilton) have largely dominated the 2010s, leaving precious little room for newcomers to break into... 

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

For anyone who enjoys the background politics in Formula One, the two weeks between the Russian and Spanish Grands Prix were pure heaven. Red Bull demoted Daniil Kvyat to Toro Rosso, although it wasn’t a demotion in Helmut Marko’s Bizarro World, per Autobild (h/t ESPN F1‘s Nate Saunders). Swapping spots with the Russian is 18-year-old Max Verstappen, who will now face even... 

Has the 2016 Formula 1 Season Been Too Predictable?

The Russian Grand Prix was the fourth race of the 2016 Formula One season, and Nico Rosberg has won them all. With nearly one-fifth of the season now in the rearview mirror—and despite Rosberg’s apparent dominance—there is a surprising lack of clarity at the top of the standings. It seems the only thing we know about this championship is that we still don’t really know anything. Rosberg...
