Having won Formula One’s new Driver of the Day award in the first two races of 2016, Romain Grosjean could be forgiven for feeling a little smug. Many feared the Frenchman had thrown his career away at the end of last year, when he decided to leave his spiritual home of Lotus—on the verge of being purchased by Renault—for the brand-new Haas team.

Were it not for his lacklustre start from fourth on the grid, Kimi Raikkonen may have won the Bahrain Grand Prix. After the trials and tribulations of Sebastian Vettel and Lewis Hamilton, the 2007 world champion’s poor getaway gave Nico Rosberg the breathing space he needed to establish an early lead en route to his second win of the 2016 Formula One season.

Come Saturday evening at the Australian Grand Prix, on a day Lewis Hamilton eased to his 50th career pole position despite a rule change intended to put an end to Mercedes’ run of front-row lockouts, the final nails were being pounded into the coffin of Formula One’s new, elimination-style qualifying format. Or so we thought, anyway. As you would expect of a regulation change confirmed...

Fernando Alonso will miss a Formula One race for the second season in succession after being ruled out of this weekend’s Bahrain Grand Prix. The two-time world champion survived one of the most spectacular accidents of modern times at the recent Australian GP, but despite walking away from the wreckage of his McLaren-Honda, the Spaniard has been declared unfit to compete at the Sakhir circuit.

With a little luck, the racing may just get in the way of the arguing at this weekend’s Bahrain Grand Prix, where the 2016 Formula One season will resume at the Sakhir circuit. The new campaign got off to an exciting start at the Australian GP, where Mercedes’ Nico Rosberg and Lewis Hamilton fought back to defeat Sebastian Vettel and Ferrari, yet F1’s feel-good factor almost instantly...

Jenson Button may not have stood on the top step of a Formula One podium for almost four years, but the 2009 world champion’s class remains undeniable.

And...
