Austrian Grand Prix 2016 Preview: Start Time, TV Info, Weather, Schedule, Odds

After visiting Baku, Azerbaijan, for the first time, the Formula One circus returns to more familiar territory this weekend for the Austrian Grand Prix at the Red Bull Ring in Spielberg. Lewis Hamilton won in Monaco and Canada, but his Mercedes team-mate, Nico Rosberg, put an end to his short streak at the European Grand Prix in Baku. The German has also won both races since the series returned to Austria in 2014, and the Mercs are the firm favourites again at the high-speed circuit formerly known as the Osterreichring and A1-Ring. The other Mercedes-powered cars should also be strong on the Red... 

Formula 1 Track Walk: Exploring Circuit Gilles Villeneuve with Manor Racing

MONTREAL — The rhythm and routine of each Formula One race weekend is the same, whether the teams find themselves in Melbourne or Monza, Monaco or Montreal. This season, the F1 travelling circus will visit 21 different countries, but the general outline of each event is always the same: press conference, practice, practice, press conference, practice, qualifying, press conference, race, press conference. Throw in a few media and sponsor commitments—and perhaps the occasional fashion show or yacht party—and you have a grand prix weekend. Before all of that, though, before the drivers... 

Austrian Grand Prix 2016: 5 Bold Predictions for Red Bull Ring Race

The ninth round of the 2016 Formula One season will take place at this weekend’s Austrian Grand Prix at the Red Bull Ring, where Nico Rosberg will be hoping to extend his points advantage over Mercedes team-mate Lewis Hamilton. The German established a 43-point lead over the British driver after winning the opening four races of the campaign, but saw the gap quickly cut to nine following Hamilton’s two successive victories in Monaco and Canada. Yet after a stabilising win in the European GP, where Hamilton could only recover to fifth after a crash in qualifying, Rosberg stretched... 

Formula 1’s Latest Rumours and Talk: Lewis Hamilton, Nico Rosberg and More

When, at the end of the 2015 Formula One season, Toto Wolff warned Mercedes would be prepared to change their driver lineup despite retaining the world championship, the team boss sent a clear message to Lewis Hamilton and Nico Rosberg. If the drivers were unable to put aside their personal differences for the sake of the team, one of them would lose the honour and privilege of driving the fastest car in the sport. And Wolff’s words appear to have done the trick, with Hamilton revealing his relationship with Rosberg is—surprisingly given the 24-point gap between the pair in the drivers’... 

B/R Exclusive: Romain Grosjean on Instagram-Filtered F1 and Love for Gene Haas

MONTREAL — Romain Grosjean has 10 Formula One podium finishes in his career. It is difficult to tell whether we should be impressed by that number, given he hasn’t spent a ton of time in a top car, or disappointed that a driver with such obvious talent has not had the machinery to allow him to shine as his career has progressed. After two difficult years at Lotus (now Renault), with the team struggling for pace on the track and cash off it, the 30-year-old Grosjean is experiencing something of a rebirth with American newcomers Haas F1. Grosjean and his new team shocked the F1 world... 

Grading Jolyon Palmer’s Start to Life in Formula 1

Having followed in the footsteps of Nico Rosberg, Lewis Hamilton, Nico Hulkenberg and Romain Grosjean by winning the GP2 championship in 2014, there is little doubt that Jolyon Palmer is deserving of a chance in Formula One. Unable to find a race seat in the immediate aftermath of his success in F1’s official feeder category, the British driver took the next-best option and secured a reserve-driver role at a mid-grid team, participating in a number of free-practice sessions for Lotus in 2015. When Grosjean ran out of patience with Lotus’ financial struggles toward the end of last season... 

Formula 1’s Latest Rumours and Talk: Jenson Button, Fernando Alonso and More

For the third year in succession, Jenson Button is set to play a lead role in Formula One’s driver market. The 2009 world champion survived two near-misses in 2014 and ’15, but this is likely to be the season Button’s time at McLaren-Honda comes to an end, with the team’s excitement about reserve driver Stoffel Vandoorne common knowledge. Should Button lose his seat alongside Fernando Alonso, a place at Williams could allow him to postpone his retirement, and the British driver has admitted a return to the place where his F1 career started could be an option for 2017. With... 

A Simple Solution to the Problems with Formula 1’s Radio Ban

The biggest story from the European Grand Prix in Baku, Azerbaijan, was not Nico Rosberg’s win, nor Sergio Perez’s unlikely podium; it was the backlash against the FIA’s ban on radio messages from teams giving advice to their drivers. Mercedes’ Lewis Hamilton and Ferrari’s Kimi Raikkonen both had engine problems and grew increasingly frustrated when their engineers could not say how to fix them. After the race, several drivers shared their displeasure with the regulations. Fortunately, there is an easy compromise. Just as the new qualifying format was reversed once... 

5 of the Most Interesting Radio Messages from 2016 European Grand Prix

After seven races of almost complete radio silence, Formula One finally saw the light in Sunday’s European Grand Prix at the Baku City Circuit. When, at the beginning of 2016, it became apparent the restrictions on pit-to-car radio would become tighter this season, Mercedes boss Toto Wolff told Motorsport.com’s Jonathan Noble how the crackdown would be positive for F1 and lead to a number of “freak results.” With Nico Rosberg and Lewis Hamilton winning all but one of the first seven races, when the insight provided by frequent team-radio messages was taken away from spectators,... 

Formula 1’s Latest Rumours and Talk: Nico Rosberg, Lewis Hamilton and More

With the longest straight and tightest sequence of corners on the calendar, the Baku City Circuit would have left several Formula One drivers feeling uncomfortable on Sunday afternoon, but Nico Rosberg wasn’t one of them. Starting from pole position, the Mercedes driver dominated proceedings to register his fifth victory of the 2016 season before admitting he felt completely at ease with his W07 on a track that invited and punished innocent errors. As Rosberg felt at one with his car, Lewis Hamilton would have felt alien to his after suffering an engine-mapping problem during the race. The...
