Belgian Grand Prix: Soaking Up the Atmosphere at Spa-Francorchamps

“When you go to Spa, never pay for a grandstand ticket.” That was the advice of a fevered-up Scot in Liege on Saturday evening, given to us with a knowing nod. The bad thing about this advice was he was telling us on the eve of the Grand Prix with our tickets in hand. The good thing is we didn’t pay for the tickets. “Ah,” he smiled. “Well you’ve not got... 

Was Sebastian Vettel Booed at the Belgian Grand Prix? Assessing His Popularity

  Booing was evident as Sebastian Vettel stood atop the Belgian Grand Prix podium.  The reason was obvious, too. At least for a moment. Formula One media and fans alike nodded sagely: the Red Bull Racing driver is not a popular man with the fans. But then, as a second thought, a further possibility emerged. Environmental group Greenpeace’s PR pre-and-post-race protests against Shell.  Ah,... 

Belgian F1 Grand Prix 2013: 5 Key Storylines to Watch at Spa-Francorchamps

The Formula 1 season did not roar back into life on Friday morning exactly, as the expected damp start to the weekend in the Ardennes muted the action. However, back the F1 season is, and there’s plenty to chew over before the weekend’s serious running begins. Lewis Hamilton’s victory in Hungary, not to mention the competitiveness of the Lotus, has reignited the title fight after... 

Ranking the 10 Best European F1 Tracks

There was a time when Formula One’s “world championship” was really anything but, with just a token flyaway at the Indianapolis 500 (not contested by most Grand Prix outfits) the only race outside of Europe. A concentrated effort to take in genuine trips to North America grew to include South American voyages as well as races in Japan and Australia which would fast become a staple... 

5 Reasons Sebastian Vettel Will Not Win the 2013 Belgian Grand Prix

There are very few occasions in modern-day Formula One where you’ll have chance to argue why triple world champion Sebastian Vettel will not win the next Grand Prix. But there’s very much the possibility that this weekend’s race in Belgium will be beyond him. Make no mistake, the Red Bull is quick enough. Only a fool would suggest otherwise. In the interest of a wide title race, though,... 

Ranking the 7 Best Corners in Formula One

You cannot replicate quality, you can only try to imitate it. And so, we bring you a list of Formula One’s oldest, greatest corners. You won’t find any Hermann Tilke circuits on here.

Formula One Paddock: Latest Gossip and Rumours

From budding Brazilian F1 drivers to celebrity romances, here’s a run through some of the stories doing the rounds online this week.   Ricciardo In At Red Bull?  German news organisation Bild Sport reported over the weekend that Daniel Ricciardo has been chosen as Mark Webber’s replacement and will join triple world champion Sebastian Vettel at Red Bull.

Formula One: Should McLaren Keep Jenson Button and Sergio Perez in 2014?

Scratch that. Reboot. Try again. The 2013 Formula One season is not going to register even so much as a blip in McLaren’s long, illustrious history. That is, of course, unless it’s the start of a Williams-esque downturn in form. But, focusing on the positives, attentions have—for a while now in Woking—diverted away from a tumultuous campaign with a difficult car and settled... 

Ranking the Top 10 F1 Drivers of the 1990s

We all like to reminisce about Formula One’s “halcyon days,” to use a terrible cliche. Often, our minds will wander to Grands Prix seen in the 70s or 80s (or, in my own experience, pictures and videos of said races). But consider the 1990s for a moment, if you will. No driver won the title more than twice, there was a wonderful crossover of generation and, very briefly, we witnessed... 

The Top 10 F1 Twitter Accounts You Should Be Following

Twitter, as it likes to profess upon login, is a conversation. So we thought it would be a good idea to help you make your online Formula One chats even more enlightening and entertaining.
