With Red Bull and Renault seemingly heading for divorce, the four-time world champions will soon begin the hunt for a new technical partner as they attempt to return to the summit of Formula One. Ferrari offered a helping hand to Red Bull at the latter’s home race in Austria, and Mercedes have now shown a willingness to help the Milton Keynes-based outfit. But while Toto Wolff, the Mercedes chief,...

Two wins. That’s all Ferrari ever wanted from the 2015 Formula One season. Despite the introduction of new personnel, including four-time world champion Sebastian Vettel, a chassis designed by James Allison and a vastly improved power unit, the team—even after a promising start to pre-season testing—were willing to settle for just a couple of days in the sun. All the signs were pointing...

The smile hasn’t quite been wiped off his face just yet, but Daniel Ricciardo’s 2015 season has failed to live up to expectations. The Australian established himself as one of the leading drivers on the Formula One grid last year, not only because of his three beautifully executed grand prix victories but also his creativity and bravery on the track. A driver who had only shown occasional...

Here we go again. McLaren have had little to shout about across the opening 10 races of the 2015 Formula One season as their renewed partnership with Honda, one of the most dominant car-engine alliances in the sport’s history, has fallen flat.

They have never scored a world championship point or completed a single flying lap, but Haas could play an instrumental role in this season’s driver market. Formula One’s latest team, the first U.S.-owned team for 30 years, are finally set to arrive on the grid in time for the 2016 season, almost two years after being granted entry to the pinnacle of motorsport. And they’re hoping...

Convinced their reliability issues have finally been resolved, McLaren-Honda are ready to attack the second half of the 2015 Formula One season. The former world champions secured their best result of the season in the Hungarian Grand Prix, with Fernando Alonso‘s fifth-place finish encouraging the team to pursue further points finishes over the remaining nine races. Honda’s motorsport boss...

Formula One has gone on its summer holidays at just the wrong time. After nine races of misery both on and off track, the 2015 season finally burst into life at the Hungarian Grand Prix, which produced a surprise winner and shock results throughout the field, with the two title protagonists failing to reach the podium for the first time this year. In an ideal world, F1 would have capitalised on the...

Nico Rosberg’s one-lap pace has deserted him this season, with the German being dominated by Mercedes team-mate Lewis Hamilton in qualifying. It is some turnaround from the 2014 campaign, when Rosberg was so often the man to beat on Saturdays and became the maiden winner of Formula One’s Pole Position Trophy, and the former Williams driver has recently been trying to explain why Hamilton...

So, can he win it? It’s a question we’ve become accustomed to asking in the immediate aftermath of every Hungarian Grand Prix, such is the event’s tendency to provide unpredictable races and surprise winners. In each of the last three seasons, the dark horse in the championship battle has triumphed at the tight and twisty dust bowl that is the Hungaroring, supposedly injecting renewed...

The verdict delivered by Dr. Evil was as blunt as it was damning. Helmut Marko, Red Bull’s motorsport consultant, had just witnessed his young-driver scheme, the best junior academy in Formula One, turned on its head over the Spanish Grand Prix weekend. The might of Red Bull Racing, the four-time constructors’ champions, had—not for the first time in the opening five races of 2015—been...
