When Daniel Ricciardo replaced Mark Webber at Red Bull, he stepped into one of Formula One’s most desirable seats. He also acquired one the sport’s least desirable positions—No. 2 to Sebastian Vettel. Webber was always uncomfortable in the role, but he never truly had the talent to elevate himself onto a level pegging. Now it’s Ricciardo‘s turn. Does he have what it takes...

Nico Rosberg won the Australian Grand Prix at a canter; Lewis Hamilton retired after only two laps. Had the Brit’s car not developed a misfire, we would almost certainly have seen a Mercedes one-two. The German squad currently hold a substantial advantage over the other teams, and though it’s likely others will catch up, it’s possible they won’t. At the moment, the smart money...

Throughout winter testing, the buzzword in Formula One was reliability. As we approached the Australian Grand Prix, a number of teams still hadn’t completed race distances. All of them had experienced multiple problems during testing and none could say with confidence that both cars would get to the end. Team personnel, media, experts and fans alike weighed in with their thoughts. Those saying...

Ferrari have never been in Formula One to make up the numbers. They exist to win. They hire the best drivers they can, have a budget which is second-to-none, own extensive state-of-the-art facilities and possess a workforce brimming with brilliant, talented people. So there will be many heavy hearts and pained expressions as the team head to Malaysia. It seems the F14T is just another in a long line...

The 2014 Formula One season kicked off in dramatic fashion at the Australian Grand Prix. Nico Rosberg won the race at a canter, while Daniel Ricciardo was disqualified after coming home in second. Kevin Magnussen marked his F1 debut with a podium, and it’s his McLaren team leading the way in the constructors’ standings. On the other end of the happy scale, pre-race favourite Lewis Hamilton‘s...

The 2014 Formula One season kicks off this weekend at Albert Park, Melbourne. Reliability issues dominated preseason testing and are likely to prove key in Australia. Defending world champions Red Bull are struggling. In fact, for the first time since 2009, they will not enter the year as favourites. That honour has passed to Mercedes, but right now we’re all guessing—no one really knows...

The 2014 Australian Grand Prix is one of the most eagerly anticipated season-openers in Formula One history. Changes to aerodynamic and engine regulations look set to shake up the running order. Reigning champions Red Bull suffered from awful reliability in preseason, while Williams—coming off the back of one of their worst-ever seasons—look to be among the front-runners at this stage. The...

Anyone who saw Kimi Raikkonen burst onto the Formula One scene in 2001 knew they were witnessing the arrival of someone very special. He scored a point in his first race and showed more than a few flashes of brilliance throughout the course of the season. McLaren recognised his talent and after just one year in the midfield he had one of the most sought-after drives on the grid. Packing at least as...

The Indian Grand Prix’s future is in doubt after Bernie Ecclestone revealed the race will not feature on the 2015 calendar. The root cause is that the Indian government have, thus far, taken the facepalm side in that silly old debate—whether or not Formula One is a sport. That needs to change for the race to return. Elsewhere, Williams unveiled their beautiful new Martini Racing livery...

A bookie...
