The first set of results from the Formula One GDPA’s fan survey have been published and the results don’t make pretty reading. A whopping 89 percent of respondents say the sport needs to be more competitive, while 77 percent think F1’s business interests are having too much influence. By contrast, just 45 percent feel the current crop of drivers represent the world’s best, and...

The 2015 British Grand Prix will be the ninth round of the Formula One season and the fifth European race of the year. It will also mark a very special occasion—the 65th anniversary of the sport’s birth. Way back in 1950, the circuit hosted the first ever race of the world championship era. The intervening years have seen the circuit and F1 itself change a lot, but there has always...

Sixty-five years after hosting the very first race of the Formula One world championship era, Silverstone will once again be the place to be for the 2015 British Grand Prix. Nico Rosberg heads into the race on a high after a crushing victory in Austria. The gap to team-mate Lewis Hamilton at the top of the standings is now just 10 points—can he cut it further, or will Hamilton hit back at his...

The Formula One teams were in action just days after the Austrian Grand Prix in the second in-season test of 2015. Nico Rosberg and Pascal Wehrlein ensured Mercedes topped the pile on both days, while there were F1 testing debuts for GP3’s Antonio Fuoco at Ferrari and reigning DTM champion Marco Wittmann at Toro Rosso. Though Fuoco ended his day early after contact with the wall at Turn 1, both...

It was a tale of two Nicos as Formula One’s 2015 Austrian Grand Prix saw the world title race explode back into life. Nico Rosberg produced his most dominant display of the season to put team-mate Lewis Hamilton firmly in the shade. The points gap between the two championship contenders is now just 10 points with 11 races to go. Nico Hulkenberg also put in his best performance for a long time...

The midfield provided most of the action as another Formula One weekend passed without a real battle at the front. Nico Rosberg won the 2015 Austrian Grand Prix to record Mercedes’ seventh win from eight races, with Lewis Hamilton completing the team’s fifth one-two finish. Ferrari had shown promising long-run pace in practice but never got anywhere near the two Silver Arrows when it mattered. Their...

Ferrari team principal Maurizio Arrivabene has called for more haste in determining the future direction of Formula One. Significant changes are on the table for the 2017 season, but Arrivabene is growing frustrated with the sport’s inability to get any of the proposals set in stone. The first cars built to the new regulations will race in just 21 months’ time—decisions are needed...

After a less-than-thrilling outing in Montreal, Formula One returns to Europe for the 2015 Austrian Grand Prix. Held at the beautiful and simple Red Bull Ring, the race will be the eighth round of the season. Last year’s event was the first at the Spielberg venue since 2003; the coming race will be the ninth at this cut-down incarnation of the legendary Osterreichring and the 28th Austrian Grand...

Formula One heads to the mountains this weekend for the 28th Austrian Grand Prix. It’s the home race for the once-dominant Red Bull team, but Daniel Ricciardo and Daniil Kvyat are unlikely to benefit and look set for a difficult Sunday. It could even be their worst race of the season—and Renault’s worst for almost seven years. Sebastian Vettel endured a miserable time as a Red Bull...

Ferrari boss Maurizio Arrivabene has revealed Kimi Raikkonen must perform to a certain standard if he wishes to keep his seat at the team in 2016. The Finn has been outperformed by team-mate Sebastian Vettel thus far in 2015, largely due to poor qualifying displays. But Arrivabene says points, not poles, are what will matter when any decision on his future is made. Raikkonen two-stopped in Sunday’s...
