Why Would Mercedes Have a Conspiracy to Sabotage Lewis Hamilton?

Lewis Hamilton suffered engine problems in last Sunday’s Russian Grand Prix, the second race in a row where a defective energy recovery system (followed by a water-pressure issue in Russia) cost him a chance at victory. Cars break down all the time in Formula One. They are on the very limit of performance, driving at more than 300 km/h, braking heavily several times per lap and changing gears... 

Daniil Kvyat’s Reaction to Sebastian Vettel Incidents Shows Admirable Character

Daniil Kvyat got an earful from Sebastian Vettel at the end of last month’s Chinese Grand Prix. The young Russian dove up the inside of Vettel’s Ferrari at the first corner, spooking the four-time champion and causing him to swerve into his team-mate’s car. Kvyat stood his ground both on the race track, helping him claim Red Bull’s first podium in seven months, and in the podium... 

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

After opening the season in Australia, Bahrain and China, Formula One returns to Europe for the third running of the Russian Grand Prix. Lewis Hamilton won the first two races at the Sochi Autodrom, but his Mercedes team-mate, Nico Rosberg, has opened the 2016 season with three straight victories (added to the three races he won to finish 2015). Meanwhile, Ferrari and Red Bull are lurking, should the... 

Are Williams in Danger of Dropping Back into the Formula 1 Midfield?

Claire Williams, deputy team principal of the Williams Formula One team, told the official F1 website in November 2014, “From where we are now, 2015 should almost be a dress rehearsal for a championship challenge in 2016.” After three races in 2016, it is safe to say that a title run is not going to happen for Williams this year. Mercedes (who supply Williams with their engines) remain... 

Unequal Formula 1 Prize Money Distribution Continues to Hurt Smaller Teams

Formula One brought in nearly $2 billion in 2015, yet unequal revenue distribution is still threatening the future of some teams. Despite finishing second in the constructors’ championship last year, Ferrari will receive $21 million more in prize money than any other team this year, according to Autosport‘s Dieter Rencken and Lawrence Barretto. More than half of Ferrari’s $192... 

Does Nico Rosberg’s 6-Race Win Streak Prove He Can Beat Lewis Hamilton in 2016?

It almost seems to be turning into a routine for Nico Rosberg—another race, another win. The Mercedes driver won his sixth straight Formula One race on Sunday at the Chinese Grand Prix, extending his lead in the championship to 36 points over his team-mate, Lewis Hamilton. And what to make of Hamilton, who has not stood on the top step of the podium since last October, at the U.S. Grand Prix?... 

Ferrari Quick in Practice, but Mercedes Are Still the Chinese GP Favourites

Ferrari‘s Kimi Raikkonen and Sebastian Vettel set the two fastest laps during the second free practice session for the Formula One Chinese Grand Prix. Raikkonen‘s lap of one minute, 36.896 seconds was 0.109 seconds quicker than Vettel‘s best effort and—more importantly—0.237 seconds ahead of Nico Rosberg in the top Mercedes car. Ferrari’s quick laps around the Shanghai... 

Are Ferrari Actually Closing the Gap to Mercedes? What Do the Numbers Tell Us?

All the talk coming into the 2016 Formula One season was how Ferrari were finally catching up to Mercedes after two years of Silver Arrows domination. “We know more or less where we are compared to Ferrari—which is why I say for sure it is close,” said Mercedes’ Nico Rosberg after the final pre-season test, per ESPN F1’s Nate Saunders. “But we are not sure if we... 

Formula 1 Solves Qualifying Dilemma, but Governance Problems Remain

Common sense finally—finally—prevailed in the Formula One qualifying saga this week. Unfortunately, it took a near-unprecedented showing of team unity to force the FIA’s and Formula One Management’s hands, so don’t hold your breath waiting for that common sense to spill over into other decisions regarding the future of the sport. On Thursday, after receiving a unanimous... 

Red Bull and Haas Continue Surprising Form at Bahrain Grand Prix

Formula One is too predictable these days, right? That has been a common complaint over the last two-plus seasons of Mercedes domination. And that may be true at the top of the grid, which looks pretty much as expected so far in 2016: Mercedes are out in front, and Ferrari (when their cars are running) are a bit behind but clearly second-best. If you look at the constructors’ standings following...
