Lewis Hamilton and Formula 1’s Winners of BBC Sports Personality of the Year

By winning the 2014 BBC Sports Personality of the Year, Lewis Hamilton joined a select group of British athletes to be awarded what is perhaps the country’s most prestigious multi-sport honour. The 2014 Formula One world champion pushed golf’s Rory McIlroy, winner of two majors in 2014, into second place. European 10,000-metre gold medallist Jo Pavey was third. It was third time lucky for... 

Comparing Jenson Button to All of His Formula 1 Team-Mates

Fernando Alonso will become Jenson Button‘s 11th different team-mate when the pair line up for McLaren in 2015. The 2009 world champion has clocked up the impressive number, the most of any driver on the current grid, over a Formula One career which is about to enter its 16th year. His list of pre-Alonso team-mates includes two world champions, one rookie and three race winners (six, if we count... 

Susie Wolff Should Not Move Up to Race Seat, but Simona De Silvestro Could Have

Susie Wolff has broken down a lot of barriers in Formula One, and another fell to the Scot at the end of November. Williams, the team she joined as a development driver in 2012, have promoted her to the position of official test driver for 2015. It’s the highest F1 role held by a female since 1992—in the driver hierarchy at Grove she sits third, behind only the two race drivers, Valtteri... 

Kevin Magnussen’s Demotion Highlights Failings of McLaren Young Driver Programme

Well, it’s finally happened. After months of delays and uncertainty, McLaren have announced Fernando Alonso and Jenson Button as their race drivers for the 2015 Formula One season. Kevin Magnussen, having just completed his debut year in the sport, has been demoted to test and reserve driver. He’ll work alongside McLaren‘s highly promising test and development driver, Stoffel Vandoorne,... 

Formula 1’s Latest Rumours and Talk: McLaren Again, Hulkenberg in Porsche, More

McLaren are set to announce their 2015 Formula One driver lineup on Thursday, bringing to an end months of delays, speculation and uncertainty. With Fernando Alonso arriving from Ferrari, either Jenson Button or Kevin Magnussen will be left without a drive. Many sources say Button will keep his seat, but confirmation is still needed. It’s difficult to see a way back for whichever driver is left... 

Grading the Formula 1 Teams on Their 2014 Performances

The first season of the new V6 turbo hybrid era saw a one-team demolition of the field. In 19 races, Mercedes took 18 poles and 16 wins and set 12 fastest laps. Their closest challengers, Red Bull, managed just three wins—each as the result of a Mercedes error. But while the battle at the front was an all-silver affair, the contest further down the order was a sea of colour. Red Bull, Williams,... 

Why an Engine Change in 2016 Is Not the Best Option for Formula 1

From the moment the first of Formula One’s new hybrid “power units” fired up at the season-opening test at Jerez, they’ve faced a never-ending barrage of criticism. Some said they were too quiet. Others that they were too complex, too gimmicky, too computerised or too green. The chorus of opposition has waxed and waned throughout the year, but it has been matched by a more sustained,... 

How Did B/R Do?: Reviewing 2014 Predictions and Expert Breakdown

Before the start of the 2014 Formula One season, no one was entirely sure what to expect. Sweeping regulations changes looked set to turn the running order on its head. All three engine suppliers had demonstrated poor reliability during pre-season testing, and some were even wondering if any cars would finish the first race at all. Such concerns meant the apparent running order in terms of pure speed... 

Formula 1’s Latest Rumours and Talk: McLaren Decision, 2015 Calendar and More

It’s decision time at McLaren. Jenson Button and Kevin Magnussen have waited far longer than is reasonable to find out if they have a place on the Formula One grid in 2015, but that wait appears to be almost over. McLaren look set to decide on Thursday which of the two will partner Fernando Alonso next year. Elsewhere, the World Motor Sport Council met in Qatar on Wednesday. Many things were... 

Formula 1 2014 Season in Numbers

The 2014 Formula One season was among the best of recent years. The two-horse title race between Lewis Hamilton and Nico Rosberg may not have been to everyone’s taste, but there was always action going on further down the field, too. The action was fascinating, and so are the numbers. How great was Daniel Ricciardo’s dominance over Sebastian Vettel? What about the duel between Fernando...
