At the halfway stage of the 2015 Formula One season, when it became obvious that Lewis Hamilton was waltzing his way toward his third title, we proposed an alternative strategy for Nico Rosberg. Rather than trying to beat Hamilton in a head-to-head fight, failing miserably and then allowing himself to be tormented by finishing second every weekend, Rosberg—according to our logic—should...

After the 2015 Formula One titles were settled in the favour of Lewis Hamilton and Mercedes in mid-October, this weekend’s Abu Dhabi Grand Prix is at risk of being a rather hollow event. Without the intrigue and drama of a championship showdown, there is a temptation to dismiss the final race of a largely uneventful season as a meaningless affair—a mere parade to endure before the...

So after the countless quit threats, the emergency paddock summits and the no-news news updates, Red Bull Racing appear to have finally found an engine for the 2016 Formula One season. The four-time world champions’ future had been cast in doubt over recent months as Red Bull tried and failed to secure a batch of V6 turbo power units from anyone but current suppliers Renault, with Mercedes,...

Ferrari have been the most improved team in the 2015 Formula One season, with Sebastian Vettel and Kimi Raikkonen claiming three victories, 15 podiums and a single pole position between them. The level and consistency of the team’s performances has led some to believe that the Prancing Horse, despite failing to win a world championship of any kind since 2008, are ready to launch a serious title...

Despite winning 10 races in the 2015 Formula One season, Lewis Hamilton is currently experiencing something of a drought. After missing out on victory in the Brazilian Grand Prix, the newly crowned three-time world champion is without a win in two races, forced to settle for second behind Mercedes team-mate Nico Rosberg in both. And Hamilton didn’t exactly cover himself in glory at Interlagos,...

Lewis Hamilton questioned Mercedes’ Formula One strategy as he hunted down team-mate Nico Rosberg during Sunday’s Brazilian Grand Prix. While Hamilton appeared to be faster than the German at the halfway stage of the race, the British driver was unable to get close enough to pass Rosberg and asked his team to consider changing their tactics to help the three-time world champion take the...

Then came the fiddly bits—the chin straps and the HANS-device tethers—the excitement palpable as his fingers flicked and rotated this way and that. Off came the crash helmet, the veil, the mask; the flameproof balaclava doubling up as a makeshift flannel. With the earplugs out and...
