Formula 1’s Latest Rumours and Talk: McLaren-Honda, Daniel Ricciardo and More

As the Formula One fraternity heads to Monaco for the sixth round of the 2016 season, McLaren-Honda are sensing an opportunity. With lingering concerns over the performance of their V6 turbo power unit, the tight, twisty streets of Monte Carlo should play to the strengths of the team’s MP4-31 chassis and allow McLaren to extend their run of top-10 finishes. But the Woking-based outfit are not just targeting points at the principality, with racing director Eric Boullier explaining why Fernando Alonso and Jenson Button can beat the Ferraris of Sebastian Vettel and Kimi Raikkonen on merit. While... 

Rumoured Heineken Deal Good for Formula 1, but Not Necessarily Individual Teams

The Netherlands is the centre of the Formula One universe this week. First, there was Dutch driver Max Verstappen’s astonishing win in Spain, and now there are rumours that brewing giant Heineken is set to announce a new sponsorship deal with the racing series. The agreement is said to be worth $150 million over five years, according to a report in Dutch newspaper De Telegraaf (h/t the Guardian‘s Paul Weaver). This is great news for Formula One Management (FOM), the sport’s commercial rights holder, coming on the back of Shell’s recent withdrawal as a series... 

Carlos Sainz Jr. Can Take Advantage of Max Verstappen’s Rise to Red Bull

Shortly after becoming the youngest-ever winner of a Formula One race at last weekend’s Spanish Grand Prix, Max Verstappen had plenty of thanks to dish out. First and foremost to Red Bull Racing, who had provided him with “such a great car to win straight away” in his debut race for the team, as he told the post-race FIA press conference. Then to his mother Sophie, who “did a very good job” by bringing him “into the world” to begin with, and his father Jos, who from the minute his son turned four had worked tirelessly to help him conquer... 

F1’s Latest Rumours, Talk: Fernando Alonso to Mercedes, Pascal Wehrlein and More

After Lewis Hamilton and Nico Rosberg collided on the opening lap of last weekend’s Spanish Grand Prix, it didn’t take long for rumours surrounding Mercedes’ Formula One driver lineup to resurface. Rosberg‘s contract is set to expire at the end of 2016, and despite his strong start to the season—the German has won four of the opening five races of the campaign—there is a risk his latest on-track incident with Hamilton could push him toward the exit door. With speculation that the championship leader has opened discussions with Ferrari, Mercedes boss Toto Wolff... 

Mercedes Made the Right Call in Handling of Lewis Hamilton-Nico Rosberg Crash

The only surprising thing about Lewis Hamilton‘s collision with Nico Rosberg at the Spanish Grand Prix is that it did not happen sooner. For more than two years, the Mercedes team-mates have been duelling head-to-head for Formula One championships, yet this is the first time they have both retired from a race due to a crash with each other. Since the beginning of 2014, Hamilton and Rosberg have started alongside each other on the front row 30 times. There have been a few close calls—think back to last year in Japan and the United States—but the 2014 Belgian Grand Prix is... 

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

At the age of 18, Max Verstappen became the youngest-ever driver to win a Formula One race in Sunday’s Spanish Grand Prix at the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya. After triumphing from fourth on the grid on his Red Bull debut, Verstappen’s maiden victory proved he is—as many have predicted since his arrival on the grid last year—on course to achieve great things in the pinnacle of motor racing.  It proved the value of experience in top-level sport can be overemphasised at times. And it proved just how ridiculous F1’s increased team radio restrictions really are,... 

Formula 1’s Latest Rumours and Talk: Red Bull’s Max Verstappen, Ferrari and More

On his debut for Red Bull Racing, Max Verstappen became the youngest driver to win a Formula One race in Sunday’s Spanish Grand Prix at the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya.

Spanish Grand Prix 2016: Winners and Losers from Barcelona Race

Max Verstappen claimed the first victory of his Formula One career in Sunday’s Spanish Grand Prix at the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya. After starting fourth on the grid, the 18-year-old drove with exceptional maturity on his Red Bull debut to withstand late pressure from Ferrari’s Kimi Raikkonen and become the youngest winner in the history of the sport. Verstappen’s route to success was helped by the trials and tribulations of Lewis Hamilton and Nico Rosberg, who both retired on the first lap after making contact at Turn 4.  The incident left both championship protagonists... 

Max Verstappen Living Up to Ayrton Senna Comparisons with Spanish Grand Prix Win

In the 1990s, there were 10 first-time Formula One grand prix winners. In the 2000s, there were 14. This decade, at least until Sunday, there had only been three: Nico Rosberg, Pastor Maldonado and Daniel Ricciardo. Red Bull and Mercedes (and, more specifically, Sebastian Vettel and Lewis Hamilton) have largely dominated the 2010s, leaving precious little room for newcomers to break into the exclusive club of grand prix winners, which numbers only 106 over the the 66-year history of F1. But at the Spanish Grand Prix on Sunday, 18-year-old Max Verstappen did just that, also setting the...

Red Bull’s Max Verstappen won a dramatic Spanish Grand Prix on Sunday, becoming the youngest driver ever to win a Formula One race, as Mercedes duo Nico Rosberg and Lewis Hamilton crashed out on the opening lap.  The 18-year-old eventually came home ahead of Ferrari duo Kimi Raikkonen and Sebastian Vettel in Barcelona. However, the main talking point from Catalonia came in the early stages, as Hamilton, overtaken by Rosberg on the opening lap, darted onto the grass, lost control of his car and collided with his team-mate. Here are the results from the race and a closer look at how things...
