Jules Bianchi is a man on the move. After a poor start to the year, his performances in the second half of the season to date have seen him reestablish himself as a leading contender for a move up the grid in 2015. He scored his first F1 points in Monaco and, in tricky conditions at the British Grand Prix, qualified his Marussia in a fine 12th. The Ferrari Driver Academy member also tested for the...

The 2014 British Grand Prix featured Formula One racing at its finest. There were great drives all the way through the field, with Valtteri Bottas’ excellent run to second the standout performance. Fernando Alonso and Sebastian Vettel had one of the best duels we’ve seen in recent years, Jules Bianchi showed admirable fight in his Marussia and Lewis Hamilton‘s race-craft continues...

At the British Grand Prix, Susie Wolff added another chapter to the history of women in Formula One. When she left the pit lane in the first free practice session, she became the first female driver to take part in a grand prix weekend since Giovanna Amati in 1992. Unfortunately, the chapter she added—like the book itself—turned out to be a short one. Wolff, then known as Susie Stoddart,...

With the British Grand Prix behind us, the next stop on the F1 tour is Germany. Fittingly, a Brit and a German produced one of the week’s top stories—Lewis Hamilton and Nico Rosberg’s rivalry took another turn in a disagreement over nationality but all was not as it seemed. Elsewhere, Kimi Raikkonen will escape punishment for causing the first lap red flag at Silverstone, Pirelli...

Bernie Ecclestone‘s comments last week, indicating Monza may soon disappear from the Formula One calendar, were like a slap in the face to thousands of fans around the world. To those in Italy, the feeling may have been more akin to a dagger in the heart. In an interview with Gazzetta dello Sport (h/t ESPN for the translation into English), Ecclestone was asked about Monza‘s future. He...

Most accidents are avoidable in one way or another, and the one experienced by Kimi Raikkonen at the 2014 British Grand Prix certainly should never have happened at all. On the opening lap, the Finn went wide at the exit of Turn 5 while battling the Sauber of Esteban Gutierrez. He took to the tarmac run-off area and kept his foot planted firmly on the throttle. At the end of the tarmac, the grass strip...

The 2014 Formula One season produced another great race on Sunday. Silverstone was the venue for the 65th British Grand Prix of the world championship era. Lewis Hamilton won to breathe new life into the title race, but even his home win was eclipsed by events elsewhere. Valtteri Bottas’ run from 14th on the grid to second in his Williams was one of the drives of the season so far. The battle...

The 2014 Formula One British Grand Prix will be the scene of two firsts. Susie Wolff will take part in a race weekend for the first time in her career on Friday, when she drives for Williams in free practice. Further down the pit lane, Caterham will compete for the first time under their new owners after Tony Fernandes sold the team this week. Also in the news, Kimi Raikkonen already has a retirement...

Sebastian Vettel isn’t having the best of years. His mighty Red Bull team have been relegated to the ranks of the also-rans by a frail, underpowered Renault engine, and Vettel himself is struggling to get to grips with the new breed of cars. Making matters worse is the progress of his new team-mate, Daniel Ricciardo. The Australian was largely unrated before the start of the year. Quick over...

The British Grand Prix will be the ninth round of the 2014 Formula One season. It will be held at the Silverstone circuit in Northamptonshire, the 48th time the track will have hosted the event. The race itself will turn 65, having been first held in 1950. Happily for us, the retirement age for race tracks is somewhat higher than it is for humans. Nico Rosberg goes into the weekend with a 29-point...
