Lewis Hamilton is the man most likely to spoil Sebastian Vettel’s party at this weekend’s Formula One Korean Grand Prix. The Mercedes driver has the second-best car and seems to like the Yeongam circuit. Nico Rosberg should be in the mix too. Elsewhere, Romain Grosjean needs to convince Lotus he’s fit to lead the team in 2014, and Giedo van der Garde will be hoping to further his...

The Formula One Korean Grand Prix takes place this Sunday at the Korea International Circuit. Or rather, it should be taking place. Tropical Storm Fitow is set to strengthen to typhoon status, and there’s a small chance it will strike the area on Sunday. A direct hit would mean no racing. But for now let’s assume the Grand Prix will go ahead as planned. Designed by Hermann Tilke, the...

Talented young drivers have a ridiculously tough time getting into Formula One—so should the teams be forced to give them a helping hand? As recently as ten years ago, F1 had unlimited testing. Any team that felt so inclined could book a track and do as many laps as they liked in any car they chose using any driver they wished. Aside from the benefits it brought in terms of car development, testing...

Felipe Massa is trying to save his career. Fernando Alonso, Lewis Hamilton and Kimi Raikkonen are trying to save their title hopes. And hopefully, the race organisers are trying to save electricity. The Formula One Singapore Grand Prix is the only race of the year held wholly under floodlights at night, and the Marina Bay circuit features more corners than any other currently used in F1. This never-ending...

The Formula One Singapore Grand Prix will take place on Sunday at the Marina Bay Street Circuit. First held in 2008, this is F1’s only night race, taking place under 1,600 light projectors which line the entire course. Their combined energy usage is 3,180,000 watts and the circuit is illuminated four times brighter than an average sports stadium under floodlights. Maybe Greenpeace should...

Kimi Raikkonen will replace Felipe Massa at Ferrari for the 2014 Formula One season after signing a two-year contract. The deal means Ferrari will have the best driver lineup on the grid next season, and only the second dual-champion lineup since Ayrton Senna and Alain Prost drove together in 1989 for McLaren. But it also leaves three young hopefuls disappointed and looking to secure their own future...

The Formula One Italian Grand Prix takes place this Sunday at the Autodromo Nazionale Monza, close to Milan. Sebastian Vettel takes a huge championship lead into the weekend, and his main challenger appears to be Ferrari’s Fernando Alonso. It could be argued that this is the home of F1’s most passionate and devoted fans, and there’s no question who the Tifosi will be backing on race...

Formula One returns this weekend with the Italian Grand Prix at Monza. The Italian Grand Prix has been on the F1 calendar since the world championship began in 1950. Including non-championship events going back to 1921, this will be the 83rd race to bear the name. And this weekend’s host, Monza, has been the venue for every race bar one. No circuit has hosted more F1 Grands Prix. Michael Schumacher...

Hermann Tilke created eight of the 19 circuits on the 2013 Formula One calendar. The figure for circuits with a contract to host a race next year is 11 out of 21. When we add in the tracks at which he’s had a hand in minor or major changes, the number is even higher. Some would say that’s a good thing. His tracks are designed to promote overtaking and have exceptional safety features. To...

The Formula 1 Belgian Grand Prix takes place this weekend at the Spa-Francorchamps circuit, around 70 miles south-east of Brussels. Spa is one of an ever-shrinking number of “proper” circuits left on the F1 calendar, and it features some of the best corners in the world. Names like Eau Rouge, Raidillon, Pouhon and Blanchimont are known to fans the world over. Sebastian Vettel goes...
