Massa Insists He Is Not a No. 2

Four days after the controversy that surrounded the German Grand Prix, the apparent atmosphere in the Formula One paddock is still very intense.

Felipe Massa today... 

Both Sides of the Team-Orders Controversy

This weekend saw Ferrari take an upturn in performance and proved that, if all runs smoothly, the Prancing Horse can be up there taking the fight to Red Bull. Alonso looked terrific through Friday and Saturday practice, and seemed a solid bet to take pole position. In what dry running the teams did manage, namely the third practice session on Saturday morning, the Ferrari’s long-run pace on the... 

The Lesser Known Race: Every Second Counts For F1 Pit Crews

During a Grand Prix weekend, the circuit is constantly being used: for F1, driver parades and exhibitions, and support races. It’s the ultimate place to be for a racing fanatic, as there’s never a dull moment. But perhaps the race that is least prominent in Formula One is the battle to be the fastest in the pit lane. And this year teams are under more pressure than ever before to hone their... 

Lewis Hamilton Feeling the Schumacher Effect

Lewis Hamilton has revealed that racing against seven-time Formula One World Champion Michael Schumacher will feel more special than with any of his other competitors, after getting a taste of driving wheel-to-wheel with the German at last week’s Barcelona test.

Ferrari’s Tirade Against the FIA: Formula One Troubles Continue

It’s amazing to think that just eight months ago we were all relieved that the bitter war between teams and the FIA was over. Ferrari—the most successful team in the history of Formula One—had threatened to quit, with all other teams bar Williams and Force India looking to set up their own series. Fast forward eight months and once again it is Ferrari that is leading in the campaign, albeit... 

Raikkonen Could Replace Webber at Red Bull in 2011

Ex-Formula 1 world champion Kimi Raikkonen could make a sensational comeback to the sport next year, as rumours circulate that Mark Webber may call it quits if he doesn’t fight for the championship in 2010. The Finn, who took Ferrari to the championship in 2007, left Formula 1 for the WRC last year after being replaced in the Italian team by Spaniard Fernando Alonso. But Raikkonen said that... 

Fernando Alonso: New Ferrari Is Best Car I’ve Ever Driven

Fernando Alonso issued a stark warning to rivals on Saturday by claiming Ferrari’s F10 is the “best car I’ve ever had”.

Vettel Tops Day One at Drying Jerez

Sebastian Vettel topped the timesheets during a wet-dry first day of the third preseason test in Spain. Wednesday saw a disrupted session with a grand total of five red flags, two of which were caused by Rubens Barrichello, the Brazilian’s Williams team apparently struggling with reliability. Today also marked the first official test outing for the rejuvenated Lotus, with test and reserve driver...
