Simona De Silvestro and the Most Successful Female Formula 1 Drivers

Simona de Silvestro is the latest in a short line of women to be considered for a drive in Formula One. Last week, the Swiss Indycar driver was announced as an “affiliated driver” by the Sauber team. She will take part in certain test events with an initial aim of acquiring an FIA Super Licence—which is necessary if a driver wishes to actually race in F1. If she does make it, she’ll... 

Ranking the Top 25 Circuits in the History of Formula 1

Since the Formula One World Championship era began in 1950, 69 circuits have hosted at least one grand prix. Some, like Spa-Francorchamps, Silverstone and Monza, stand out as true jewels in the sport’s crown.

Red Bull and Other Renault Teams Continue to Struggle at Jerez Formula 1 Test

Renault-engined cars continued to struggle on the third day of Formula One preseason testing at Jerez. Reigning world champions Red Bull completed just three laps before Daniel Ricciardo’s car was confined to the garage. Caterham did 10 laps, none of them timed.

Why Weren’t Formula 1 Teams Ready for Most Important Preseason Test in Years?

As the first preseason test of the 2014 Formula One season drew to a close at Jerez, one story stood out above all others. It wasn’t the launch of the Mercedes W05 (beautiful) or the Red Bull RB10 (also quite attractive). Nor was it the first sighting of the Caterham CT05, which takes the dubious honor of becoming the worst-looking car to grace F1 since the Ensign N179. No, what stood out was...
