Formula 1: Why Hulkenburg or Heidfeld, Not Villeneuve, Should Sub for Kubica

Robert Kubica’s horrendous injury caught many in the Formula 1 world off-guard. Not since Juan Pablo Montoya’s so-called “tennis” injury from a couple of years back has a driver been forced from the cockpit by an extra curricular activity. I’m sure everyone has heard the disturbing details of Kubica’s injury, but don’t expect to read them here because I won’t... 

Formula 1: News, Opinions, and Rants

This is the first time in many years where the Formula 1 offseason hasn’t provided us with more excitement than the actual racing season. This is a good thing. It means we had a season to remember. It also means there won’t be many changes. I, for one, am in favor of this. We get to see Mark Webber take a second crack at Sebastian Vettel—presumably on equal terms. We get to see if... 

Formula 1: Abu Dhabi Preview, Notes, and Rants

This Sunday will be the final showdown in Abu Dhabi. Mathematically, four drivers have a shot at the title. But in reality, there are two in the mix.  Fernando Alonso only needs to pop his Ferrari into cruise control to take home the title. Mark Webber, on the other hand, needs a bit more help. Even if he does win the race, he’ll need someone in between himself and Alonso if he wants to... 

Red Bull Racing: Best Constructor, But Do They Have the Best Driver?

If you’re a Red Bull Racing engineer, crew member or even the person charged with sweeping the shop floor, then you’re probably nursing a pretty big hangover as I write this—maybe even waking up next to a charming Red Bull beauty.  And rightfully so, because that is how the 2010 Formula 1 Constructors’ Champions should celebrate. If you’re Mark Webber or Sebastian... 

Formula 1: From Sexy Parties To Championships?

When I say Red Bull, you think what? Energy drink? Formula 1 team(s)? Mobile phone provider? Hanger 7? Purveyor of sexy parties? Red Bull, is many things, but Formula 1 Champions they are not.  It seems Austria’s answer to the Playboy brand is at an impasse. After years of having their logos adorn the mid-pack Sauber, and (briefly), former back-markers Arrows, they find themselves at the... 

Formula 1: My Apology To Fernando Alonso

There are two things that I hate: being wrong, and apologizing. When it comes to my take on Fernando Alonso—I have been wrong, and I will reluctantly admit that I owe the man an apology.  Do not expect me to renege on my opinion that he acted like a diva in his one and only season at McLaren. That is one position that will never change. This year, however, I have to concede that Alonso is... 

Formula 1: Going Global, Leaving Local

It’s official—Russia will be added to the Formula 1 calendar in 2014. The Russian Grand Prix will be run on a 5.5-km track built around the Olympic Village in Sochi. I’m curious to see how their construction plans go, as said location will be used for the Olympics only months before.  The addition of Russia, along with Korea, India and another attempt at a US Grand Prix (and... 

Formula 1: Let’s Get Silly

Silly season this year has been somewhat strange. I say strange because there are not many seats up for grabs. Ferrari, McLaren, Red Bull, and MGP all have their lineups solidified through 2011. But of course, this means nothing. In Formula 1, a contract is barely worth the paper it’s printed on. The big news has been around Robert Kubica, who has been pegged as a future Ferrari driver.... 

Formula 1: The Magical Pacific Swing Is Under Way

Thank you Singapore, I had a fantastic evening. It was so good that I think I need a cigarette—and I don’t even smoke. Thanks to a generous new points system, years of rules tweaking (re-introducing slick tires, enlarged front wings, smaller rear wings, narrowing the front tires after only a single season without grooves etc), and a little divine intervention, we actually have a race for... 

Observations: Turkish Grand Prix

It’s official—nobody wants to win the 2010 Formula 1 World Championship. This season, in a way, has been a little ironic when compared to last. 2009 kicked off with a pleasant surprise, as Jenson Button and Brawn spanked the field right out of the gates in Melbourne. I was so excited to see this once-in-a-lifetime Cinderella story unfold, I almost missed the fact that nothing...
