European Grand Prix Shows Large Gap Remaining from Mercedes to Ferrari, Red Bull

During preparations for the European Grand Prix in Baku, Azerbaijan, Mercedes executive director Toto Wolff said Ferrari and Red Bull were essentially level with Mercedes’ performance. “The speed of both the Ferrari and Red Bull is pretty much where we are now,” he said, per ESPN F1’s Nate Saunders. “… We are seeing the convergence of performance between teams that naturally comes with stable regulations—and that has made the competition tougher than ever.” That is true, to some extent. Ferrari and Red Bull are definitely getting quicker relative...

Why Williams Will Be the Team to Watch in 2016 European Grand Prix at Baku

For the third year in succession, the same old questions were being asked of same old Williams in the aftermath of the Monaco Grand Prix. Their car had performed competently in the early weeks of the season, good enough for the team to be regarded as the best of the rest behind the usual suspects after Valtteri Bottas and Felipe Massa both scored points in each of the first five races. But when Formula One returned to the tight and twisty streets of Monte Carlo—the first truly slow-speed, maximum-downforce venue of the season—they were nowhere. Again. Having qualified as high as third...

Formula 1’s Latest Rumours and Talk: Lewis Hamilton, McLaren-Honda and More

Formula One is heading to new territory this weekend as the Azerbaijani capital of Baku hosts the European Grand Prix for the first time, but Lewis Hamilton is not exactly enthusiastic about the challenge. The three-time world champion has generally excelled at street circuits throughout his F1 career, but after sampling the Baku City Circuit in the Mercedes simulator, Hamilton has likened the track to a motorway. And he has questioned why city-based tracks are not made like Monaco, where he claimed his first win of 2016 less than a month ago. With the European GP set to be the second in a series... 

Hermann Tilke Interview: F1 Circuit Designer on Baku Track and Handling Critics

Hermann Tilke has a mixed reputation in Formula One circles. The 61-year-old German engineer has designed every new F1 venue since the Sepang International Circuit in Malaysia was introduced in 1999 and also redesigned several older tracks. Some, like the Circuit of the Americas, Istanbul Park and Sepang, are regarded as modern classics. Others, like the Valencia Street Circuit, Korea International Circuit and the redesigned Hockenheimring, well, not so much. The ubiquitous Tilke’s latest design is the Baku City Circuit in Azerbaijan, which is about to host the revived European Grand Prix.... 

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

In a most unlikely grand prix double-header, the Formula One circus is leaving an unseasonably cold and dreary Montreal behind this week and racing halfway around the world for the more hospitable climes of Baku, Azerbaijan, on the shores of the Caspian Sea. Beginning in 1983, the European Grand Prix was typically used as a way to get around the rule that each country could host only one race per season (for example, Germany hosted two races in the early 2000s, while Michael Schumacher was dominating F1; later, Spain had two at the height of Fernandomania). Now, after a three-year absence,...
