Mick Schumacher, the son of seven-time Formula One champion Michael, captured some headlines of his own last week after finishing second in the FIA KF Junior World Championship. The highest level of junior karting, the event featured experienced youngsters from around the world battling it out at the Essay circuit. In the grand final, Schumacher started eighth but quickly fought through the field to...

With only 0.569 seconds covering the first nine cars in qualifying, the 2014 Formula One field was closer than ever before at the Singapore Grand Prix. Mercedes remained at the front, but their advantage over the rest of the field appeared somewhat diminished. Red Bull led the chasing pack—and both their drivers led the race—as they out-scored the Silver Arrows for only the third time this...

Fernando Alonso‘s future is the hot topic in Formula One this week. In less than five days, the Spaniard has been linked to four different teams—five, if we include his current employer, Ferrari. Amid a flood of rumours, it remains unclear what his plans for 2015 are. Also unclear is whether he’ll be racing in a two- or three-car team. McLaren racing director Eric Boullier says the...

Williams are enjoying their most successful Formula One season for a decade. The team sit third in the constructors’ championship with 187 points—32 more than they scored in the four preceding seasons put together. This marked upswing in form was no accident.

Fernando Alonso is good at every track on the Formula One calendar. The most complete driver on the current grid, the Spaniard is perhaps the only driver who can be counted on to get the maximum out of his package week in, week out. But though excellent in each grand prix, there are some tracks on which he moves up to an even higher level. The Marina Bay Street Circuit is one of them. By finishing...

Formula One’s 2014 Singapore Grand Prix was what could be described as a “slow burner.” Nico Rosberg’s pre-race electrical difficulties and subsequent retirement proved the most interesting part of a dour opening hour. Gaps were comfortable, tyres were healthy and overtaking was kept to a minimum. But then Adrian Sutil had a moment of inattention going into Turn 8, and everything...

The Formula One world is in Singapore this weekend for the only true night race of the 2014 season. Much of the talk coming into the event has centred around the FIA’s decision to severely restrict the use of team radio. The ban on much-criticised “driver-coaching” was welcomed by all, but other aspects of the new directive didn’t go down so well. Following complaints by some...

Between 2000 and 2008, Ferrari won seven constructors’ championships, six drivers’ championships and 76 grands prix. From 2009 to the present day, they’ve won no championships and just 12 races. The 2014 season looks like it’ll be their first winless campaign since 1993. The fall from grace is as staggering as it is depressing for those who love the red cars, and finally some...

The Singapore Grand Prix will be the 14th round of the 2014 Formula One season. Held at the Marina Bay Street Circuit close to downtown Singapore, this is F1’s only true night race. Starting and finishing under floodlights in one of the world’s most vibrant, wealthy cities, for sheer spectacle it’s difficult to beat. Only six drivers have competed in every Singapore Grand Prix, and...
