Sebastian Vettel claimed a record-equaling ninth consecutive Formula One victory with a dominant performance in the season-ending Brazilian Grand Prix. Extending his own succession of wins in a single season, the Red Bull ace beat outgoing teammate Mark Webber and Ferrari’s Fernando Alonso to match Alberto Ascari’s 60-year-old record of nine-in-a-row, set over the 1952-53 campaigns. Vettel...

This weekend’s season-ending Brazilian Grand Prix is sure to get the pessimists riled up about the 2013 Formula One season. Sebastian Vettel’s relentless charge to a fourth successive title, coupled with Red Bull’s domination of the Constructors’ Championship, means there are no champions pots to be fought over this weekend. While there is an ongoing fight for second in the...

Let’s get one thing straight early on: Michael Schumacher’s reputation as one of Formula One’s greatest drivers will remain infinitely etched in the sport’s history books. This is not a sideways swipe at F1’s seven-time world champion. Now that is made clear, we can proceed. In the wake of Lotus’ lead driver Kimi Raikkonen withdrawing from duty for the...

A Grand Prix always throws up a story or two in the Formula One paddock and last weekend was no different. Pastor Maldonado’s sabotage claim after the Williams driver’s qualifying woes was as strong as it got, but there are some interesting stories circulating at the start of a new week. With one round remaining and 2014 fast approaching, drivers without a contract for next year are getting...

This weekend is the second hosting of the United States Grand Prix at Austin. The Texas track has already impressed much of the Formula One fraternity for its cresting layout and sweeping turns, and the entertaining battle for the lead last year. But this weekend will be the litmus test. After the usual first-year hurrah, will the Austin track keep attendances up? The suggestions are that it will....

The second United States Grand Prix at Austin is upon us. Despite concerns over another Sebastian Vettel/Red Bull walkover, there is a great deal to be excited about this weekend. The return of an old favourite, a huge battle for honour (and money!) in the constructors’ championship and the need for drivers to impress for next season means this weekend packs a lot more intrigue than you may think...

Given the ongoing debate over McLaren’s 2014 Formula One driver line-up, it seems appropriate to take a look back at its “transfer” history. It seems as though rookie Kevin Magnussen will follow in the footsteps of father Jan in making his Grand Prix debut with the team. Magnussen (Kevin) is arguably the leading light of junior single-seater racing after winning the Formula Renault...

The inaugural race in Austin for last year’s United States Grand Prix threw up a corker, and Formula One would love a repeat in the sequel. Sebastian Vettel‘s iron-fisted grasp of F1 at the moment might be sensational and record-equaling, but a bit of a variety wouldn’t hurt anyone. Lewis Hamilton beat the German in a straight fight last year but that was in a McLaren. Can he do the...

Formula One is about reaching the greatest possible peak of engineering and placing the result in the hands of the greatest available driver. That is to speak poetically, of course. For many, you can answer the purpose of F1 in one word. Speed. Regardless of what you thought of F1’s new V8 era, or how you may scoff at the sound of the imminent V6 turbo brigade, I daresay your attraction for the...
