Lewis Hamilton has won the 2014 Malaysian Grand Prix for Mercedes. The 2008 world champion, who started from pole position, was largely untroubled throughout as he registered his first points of the season after retiring in the season-opening Australian Grand Prix. Nico Rosberg, Hamilton’s teammate and the victor in Melbourne a fortnight ago, finished second to confirm Mercedes’ superiority...

Although the Malaysian Grand Prix represents the resumption of what is sure to be a fascinating 2014 Formula One season, the event also sees Sepang restart one of the most thrilling battles of recent times. Nico Rosberg versus Lewis Hamilton, you say? Fernando Alonso versus Sebastian Vettel? No: Sky versus the BBC. 2014 is the third season of both broadcasters’ controversial shared F1 rights...

The Malaysian Grand Prix has almost always seemed to play an important role in the career of Fernando Alonso. The Spaniard claimed his first Formula One pole position at the Sepang circuit in 2003 before claiming his first of three wins at the track two years later—a result that elevated Alonso to the top of drivers’ standings for the first time in his championship-winning season. His second-place...

It was ominous for the rest of the grid when Red Bull driver Daniel Ricciardo took an assured second place in the Australian Grand Prix. This was a team that had been on their knees only two weeks earlier in Bahrain. This was the team that had failed to complete a single lap on the penultimate day of pre-season testing and ran at such a pathetic pace on the final day that they seemed to be running...

When he crossed the line to secure 10th place in the Australian Grand Prix on Sunday (which later became ninth after Daniel Ricciardo’s disqualification), 19-year-old Daniil Kvyat became the youngest driver to score a point in the history of Formula One. It was quite an achievement—but with six of the 10 youngest drivers to score an F1 point still on the grid today, it is now perhaps more...

If you were to have fallen out of bed last Sunday morning, switched on the telly, flicked though the channels until you stumbled upon something called Formula One, you might have had trouble in identifying the “rookie” that commentators were raving about during the podium ceremony. After all, Nico Rosberg, the race winner—despite his best efforts to grow a beard on occasion—still...

For the first time since the summer of 2013, there was no shortage of choices for Driver of the Day in the immediate aftermath of a Formula One race. In truth, any number of drivers—Daniel Ricciardo, Kevin Magnussen, Nico Rosberg, Valtteri Bottas and Daniil Kvyat—could have left the Australian Grand Prix with the unofficial award, proving how promising the sport’s talent pool remains...

In our post-grand prix roundup, we have Ricciardo’s reaction to his punishment, as a fellow Aussie has his say on whether the team will be successful in their appeal...

Felipe Massa was quite excited about the Australian Grand Prix. Finally free from an eight-year tenure at Ferrari, the dream job that eventually became something of a living hell, he was set to begin the first race of the rest of his career. Like Williams, his new employers, Massa had undergone a resurgence over the winter months. The Brazilian had been perceived as damaged goods after four years of...

The 2014 Formula One season has officially begun after the first two free practice sessions took place on the Friday prior to the season-opening Australian Grand Prix. Things got a little more serious as the green light signalled the beginning of the season, with some teams focusing on reinforcing their superiority and others merely hoping that the gremlins they encountered in pre-season had vanished. Mercedes,...
