More power to Haas for doing things differently upon their entry to Formula One in 2016. On course to finish eighth in the constructors’ championship with 29 points, the team have proved their unique approach to motor racing can succeed—purchasing as many parts as possible from Ferrari and fitting them to a chassis designed by Dallara. Sure, teething troubles have developed...

Behind the wheel of a slow, unpredictable and at times evil car, Jolyon Palmer has endured a difficult debut season in Formula One in 2016. Renault’s understandable focus on the future has almost made the team forget the present, with Palmer and team-mate Kevin Magnussen effectively weaponless, making up the numbers toward the rear of the field. But the British driver will have the opportunity...

The penultimate round of the 2016 Formula One season will take place at this weekend’s Brazilian Grand Prix at Interlagos, where Nico Rosberg can secure his first world championship. After finishing second to Mercedes team-mate and title rival Lewis Hamilton in the recent Mexican GP, a 10th victory of the year in Brazil will be enough for Rosberg to clinch the crown and follow in the footsteps...

Pascal Wehrlein may be only the second driver in Manor’s history to score a world championship point, yet his reputation seems to have fallen as the 2016 Formula One season has progressed. The German was regarded as a future world champion when he finished 10th in July’s Austrian Grand Prix with an almost logic-defying performance at the Red Bull Ring, where he followed in the footsteps...

When the inevitable question came, Formula One’s latest boy wonder dealt with it as well as he possibly could. As deputy team principal Claire Williams mused, per Sky Sports, the team were “really, really excited” as they announced their 2017 driver lineup on Thursday morning, confirming teenager Lance Stroll would replace the retiring Felipe Massa at the end of this season. The...

Sebastian Vettel turned Formula One’s radio airwaves blue in Sunday’s Mexican Grand Prix at the Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez. Having been restricted to just one podium finish in 10 races, the four-time world champion had seemed set to make a welcome return to the top three in Mexico, where he pressurised Red Bull driver Max Verstappen into an error in the latter stages. That should have...

So what would you do if you were Kevin Magnussen? Would you commit your Formula One future to Renault, a team who will have a more competitive car next season but have spent much of 2016 trying to get rid of you? Or would you take a chance on Haas, who have offered you the security of a multi-year contract and an opportunity to grow and finally realise your true potential? That is the dilemma...

Lewis Hamilton claimed his eighth victory of the 2016 Formula One season in Sunday’s Mexican Grand Prix at the Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez. After returning to winning ways at the recent United States GP, the Mercedes driver took a dominant pole-to-flag win—his first in Mexico—to cut Nico Rosberg’s championship lead to 19 points with just two races remaining. Joining Hamilton...

This was not another Sebastien Buemi situation or a repeat of the Jean-Eric Vergne saga for Toro Rosso. It was never going to be a case of unscrewing one driver’s crash helmet, tossing it away as if it were a faulty lightbulb, inserting another and continuing as normal. It was not even a case of identifying the least convincing of the four Red Bull boys, stuffing the unlucky one into the nearest...
