Assessing Mercedes’ Improvements Year-on-Year Since Return to F1

Eyebrows were raised when Lewis Hamilton announced he would leave McLaren for Mercedes. There was no doubting the potential of the German squad, which had recruited a serious amount of firepower to spearhead its technical assault. But the team had underwhelmed since buying the Brawn team ahead of the 2010 season, whereas McLaren had regularly fought for wins and ended the year with the quickest car. The... 

Romain Grosjean’s Coming of Age: How Lotus’ Rough Diamond Shone at Suzuka

For the second Grand Prix in succession, another driver garnered more significant attention than the race-winning Sebastian Vettel. Romain Grosjean looked for much of the Japanese Grand Prix like he was a man well on his way to a first win in Formula One. Though he slipped to third at the flag the Lotus driver turned heads, more so than the two Red Bulls in front. That is all the more impressive given... 

Are Nico Hulkenberg’s Height and Weight Hindering a Move to a Top F1 Team?

It is no secret that Formula One is potentially facing a short-term future without one its brightest talents. Nico Hulkenberg was a prime candidate for the Ferrari seat that Kimi Raikkonen so unceremoniously stole from him. Attentions turned to Lotus next, certainly a fitting destination for a driver of Hulkenberg‘s ability. But question marks over its financial state, as well as the interest... 

Statistics on McLaren’s Season: Is It the Team’s Worst in F1?

One of the most disappointing aspects of the 2013 Formula One season has to be the struggles of McLaren. Actually, correct that. The disappointing aspect of 2013 is McLaren. It is no secret that Sebastian Vettel’s control over the title race has rubbed several people up the wrong way, but as I argued Monday, at least we are seeing good battles for the other places on the podium. The biggest shame,... 

Breaking Down Ferrari’s Biggest Droughts in Formula 1 History

It seems rather poignant that on the day that Michael Schumacher ended Ferrari‘s 20-plus-year wait for a Formula One drivers’ championship in 2000, current Scuderia driver Fernando Alonso has branded his own presence in the 2013 title as a “miracle.” Alonso has merely a mathematical chance of this year’s crown, because the reality is Sebastian Vettel is waltzing towards... 

Is Sebastian Vettel Making Formula 1 a TV Turn-off Again?

Eleven years ago this month, the world of motorsport was reflecting on the culmination of a dismal 2002 Formula One season. That was the year Ferrari duo Michael Schumacher and Rubens Barrichello swept all before them, with 11 and four wins apiece. Schumacher finished every race on the podium, winning the title at a canter. Ferrari, as ESPN notes, scored the same number of points as every other... 

The Incredible Hulkenberg: Why Sauber’s Marvel Must Join Lotus for F1 2014

As attention turned to those behind the imperious Sebastian Vettel for the fourth race in succession, one driver stood above the rest during the Korean Grand Prix. While Vettel controlled proceedings immaculately at the front, the race was just the most recent celebration of Nico Hulkenberg’s incredible ability and only served to further highlight what F1 has a frighteningly real possibility... 

Korean Grand Prix 2013: Live Lap-by-Lap Updates, Highlights, Recap and More

Sebastian Vettel made it four wins in a row to strengthen his already commanding grip on the title with another dominant performance in the Korean Grand Prix. Vettel kept his pursuers, chiefly Romain Grosjean and later the second Lotus of Kimi Raikkonen, at arm’s length throughout the 55-lap race, which was interrupted twice in quick succession by safety cars. Nico Hulkenberg came through the... 

Korean Grand Prix 2013: Live Lap-by-Lap Updates, Highlights, Recap and More

Round 14 of the 2013 Formula One World Championship comes from Yeongam, South Korea, where there is as much happening off track as there is on it. The troubled circuit is under a cloud at present, in both the metaphorical and the literal sense. Apart from the continued question mark over its future on the calendar, there is also a distinct possibility of rain, a consequence of an incoming... 

Sebastian Vettel and Red Bull Cheating Accusations Are a Storm in a Teacup

When Giancarlo Minardi wrote his blog on the official Minardi website in the wake of Sebastian Vettel‘s dominant display in Singapore, he knew exactly what he was doing. He started by stating his respect for Vettel and Red Bull. He said it was “not my intention to devalue Vettel” and that he did not “want to even jab at anyone.” He said the entry was simply a reflection...
