Where will Ferrari stand in Formula One’s competitive order in 2017? By definition, the most successful team in the sport’s history should be there or thereabouts, fighting for victories and regular podium finishes at the very least. But after a scruffy 2016 marred by changes behind the scenes, is there a risk the Prancing Horse could be caught out when the major regulation changes...

The 19th round of the 2016 Formula One season will take place at this weekend’s Mexican Grand Prix at the Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez, where Lewis Hamilton has to keep the momentum going. The three-time world champion ended a five-race winless run at last weekend’s United States GP in Austin, Texas, where he dominated from pole position to slice Mercedes team-mate Nico Rosberg’s...

After completing the signing of Nico Hulkenberg from Force India, it seems Renault are close to finalising their driver lineup for the 2017 Formula One season. The team had reportedly intended to partner Hulkenberg with Valtteri Bottas, but the Finn’s failure to wriggle his way out of his Williams contract has left Renault with a straight choice between one of their current drivers and their...

Lewis Hamilton claimed his seventh victory of the 2016 Formula One season in Sunday’s United States Grand Prix at the Circuit of the Americas. After setting pole position on Saturday, the British driver produced a measured performance to secure a fourth win in Austin, Texas, and get his season back on track.

After managing to live from race weekend to race weekend in the first half of 2016, Sauber’s Formula One future has looked much brighter in recent months. Longbow Finance’s rescue act ahead of July’s Hungarian Grand Prix, which supposedly secured Sauber’s place on the grid for the long term, provided a cushion for a team who had been stuck in survival mode for several...

“We will win again,” Ron Dennis promised upon his return to power at McLaren almost three years ago, per the Guardian‘s Paul Weaver. After a dreadful 2013 season, when the team created in his image paid the price for being too clever for their own good, Dennis’ comeback seemed to be exactly what McLaren needed to finally climb back up to the summit of Formula One. But...

The 18th round of the 2016 Formula One season will take place at this weekend’s United States Grand Prix at the Circuit of the Americas, where Lewis Hamilton needs to get back to basics. The three-time world champion embarrassed himself at the recent Japanese GP, behaving like a naughty boy at the back of a classroom in a pre-race press conference and then refusing to speak to the media before...

McLaren-Honda may be the most improved team of the 2016 Formula One season, but you won’t find Ron Dennis celebrating that achievement. As far as the chairman—synonymous with the team’s dominance with Ayrton Senna and Alain Prost in the late 1980s and early ’90s—is concerned, McLaren are still nowhere near good enough and have nothing to shout about just yet. But Dennis...

Force India would never have expected to be forced into this. Not now, anyway. Throughout the summer, the team fought ever so hard to keep Sergio Perez, the most successful driver in their history, who—despite signing a contract extension for the 2017 Formula One season—was still at risk of being taken away by his personal sponsors. When Perez’s future was finally resolved at the...

So who is responsible for Ferrari’s forgettable 2016 Formula One season? Those behind the SF16-H car, which has been left behind by the Red Bull RB12 and the Mercedes W07? The brains on the prat perch, who threw away potential victories in Australia and Canada with questionable strategy calls? Or maybe the drivers, Sebastian Vettel and Kimi Raikkonen, who have made too many errors for a couple...
