With Christmas Day almost upon us, Formula One is well into its winter break.

5 Things We’d Like to See in the 2015 Formula 1 Season

The 2015 Formula One season should fill the gaps that this year’s campaign left behind. Mercedes, the world champions, should not have it quite as easy as the rest of the field acclimatise to the new-spec regulations, with no shortage of teams primed to rejoin the winners’ circle. Likewise, there are plenty of drivers with a point to prove as they either look to make their mark in F1 or... 

10 Christmas Characters and Their Formula 1 Equivalents

Formula One, like the Christmas period, is awash with a wide array of characters. Some are as generous and jolly as Santa Claus himself, while there are plenty of grumpy figures who could claim to be F1’s answer to Scrooge. And others—we’re looking at you, Pastor Maldonado—are just plain comical. With December 25 upon us, here are 10 Christmas characters and their F1 equivalents. Begin... 

Lewis Hamilton, Nicole Scherzinger and F1’s Biggest Celebrity Relationships

Lewis Hamilton and Nicole Scherzinger are not just Formula One’s super couple, the motor racing equivalent of David and Victoria Beckham, they are a mega brand.

Fernando Alonso and McLaren: Where It Went Wrong in 2007

Fernando Alonso‘s sensational return to McLaren was almost an afterthought at the team’s driver announcement last week.

It had, indeed, been common knowledge since... 

Esteban Gutierrez Can Return to Formula 1 Grid After Joining Ferrari as Reserve

Unlike his team-mate, Adrian Sutil, Esteban Gutierrez seemed comfortable when it became clear that he would not be retained by Sauber for 2015. While a disgruntled Sutil, facing the end of his career, told ESPN F1 of his desire to receive clarification for the team’s decision to drop him—and Giedo van der Garde, Sauber‘s 2014 reserve driver, informed GPUpdate.net of his shock at being... 

10 Bold Decisions to Make F1 More Exciting in 2015

With an intense title battle, plenty of subplots and no shortage of twists and turns, the 2014 Formula One season was one of the most exciting campaigns in recent memory.

F1, fortunately, passed the test with flying colours—but there is still room... 

Ranking Fernando Alonso’s Top 5 Ferrari Drives

Fernando Alonso and Ferrari was the partnership that promised so much but delivered so very little. Despite dedicating his soul to the Prancing Horse for five seasons, the Spaniard only has 11 grand prix wins to show for his efforts with the Italian team.

Ranking the Top 5 Formula 1 Driver Helmets of 2014

Formula One helmets are not what they used to be. They still, of course, protect drivers from injury, but their meaning—particularly in recent years as drivers have swapped helmets on a weekly basis—has expanded significantly. As well as being an integral part of a competitor’s survival kit, helmets are now the racing driver’s equivalent of a personal statement. They are used...
