Lewis Hamilton and Nico Rosberg Crash on Lap 1 of 2016 Spanish Grand Prix

Lewis Hamilton and Nico Rosberg crashed out of the Spanish Grand Prix on Sunday, after the former collided with the latter on Lap 1. Hamilton, who began the race in pole position, was overtaken by his Mercedes team-mate going into the opening corner. Then, trying to win his place back later in the lap, the world champion found himself edged onto the grass, before losing control of his car and spinning into Rosberg. Here’s the footage of the incident, per F1 journalist Gianlu D’Alessandro: The Formula One Twitter feed provided us with some snaps of the smash: As is often the case... 

Max Verstappen-Daniel Ricciardo Partnership Can Become Red Bull’s Driving Force

Perhaps the biggest compliment you could pay Max Verstappen is that, for two-thirds of qualifying for the Spanish Grand Prix, he made the best driver in Formula One look average. Over the opening four races of the 2016 season, Daniel Ricciardo had established himself as the outstanding performer on the grid, recapturing the understated speed and consistent class of his breakthrough year in 2014. As he told MotorSport.com’s Pablo Elizalde during winter testing, he entered his third season as a Red Bull driver reluctant to get his “hopes up with anything,” but the sheer level... 

Spanish Grand Prix 2016 Qualifying: Saturday’s F1 Results, Times, Final Grid

Lewis Hamilton took pole position in emphatic fashion at the Spanish Grand Prix on Saturday, as his lap of one minute, 22.000 seconds was enough to pip Mercedes team-mate Nico Rosberg by three-tenths. Max Verstappen came perilously close to being the youngest driver ever to take to the front row of a grand prix, but he was just edged out by fellow Red Bull driver Daniel Ricciardo, who will start Sunday’s race in third. Meanwhile, Ferrari’s mission to claw back ground in the constructor’s charts took a dent, as Sebastian Vettel and Kimi Raikkonen could only come home fifth and... 

Spanish F1 Grand Prix 2016: Start Time, Drivers, TV Schedule and More

Mercedes’ Nico Rosberg will look to continue his relentless charge toward the Formula One World Championship at the Spanish Grand Prix this weekend. The German’s impeccable beginning to 2016 continued last time out in Russia, as he raced to another comfortable victory. His team-mate and reigning world champion Lewis Hamilton has a 43-point gap to make up, and you sense he needs to begin closing that advantage with a winning performance in Barcelona on Sunday. Here is a look ahead to the action, all of the key viewing details and the drivers set to be involved in what is always an absorbing... 

Spanish Grand Prix 2016 Qualifying: Results, Times from Friday’s F1 Practice

World championship leader Nico Rosberg headed Ferrari’s Kimi Raikkonen in the second practice session at the Spanish Grand Prix on Friday, with his Mercedes team-mate Lewis Hamilton finishing third fastest. Sebastian Vettel and team-mate Raikkonen were faster than Rosberg and Hamilton in the first practice session, but the Mercedes drivers improved in the afternoon when they ran on the soft tyres.  Meanwhile, 18-year-old Max Verstappen was sixth-fastest in the morning behind team-mate Daniel Ricciardo in his first outing for Red Bull following his promotion from... 

Formula 1’s Latest Rumours and Talk: Carlos Sainz Jr., Ferrari and More

Max Verstappen may have beaten him to a seat at Red Bull Racing, but Carlos Sainz Jr.’s potential Formula One career path has suddenly become much clearer. If he can finish off the career of new Toro Rosso team-mate Daniil Kvyat, and if the might of Ferrari can persuade Daniel Ricciardo to join former sparring partner Sebastian Vettel (a big “if” admittedly), Sainz will be virtually assured of a Red Bull seat for the 2017 season. That is why Sainz was not as disheartened as you might think when he heard of Verstappen‘s promotion and why the 21-year-old is sensing an opportunity... 

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

For anyone who enjoys the background politics in Formula One, the two weeks between the Russian and Spanish Grands Prix were pure heaven. Red Bull demoted Daniil Kvyat to Toro Rosso, although it wasn’t a demotion in Helmut Marko’s Bizarro World, per Autobild (h/t ESPN F1‘s Nate Saunders). Swapping spots with the Russian is 18-year-old Max Verstappen, who will now face even more scrutiny and pressure, as if being the youngest driver in F1 history wasn’t enough. Meanwhile, Nico Rosberg is running away with the drivers’ championship on the back of four straight... 

Spanish Grand Prix 2016: 5 Bold Predictions for Barcelona Race

The fifth round of the 2016 Formula One season will take place at this weekend’s Spanish Grand Prix at the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya, where Max Verstappen will make his Red Bull debut. Having established himself as a potential world champion since making his F1 debut at the beginning of 2015, the teenager has been offered an opportunity to show what he can do on a title-winning team after Red Bull ran out of patience with Daniil Kvyat. Following a disastrous performance in his home race, Kvyat has been sent back to Toro Rosso, where he will partner with Carlos Sainz Jr., a driver determined... 

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

Nico Rosberg may be leading the Formula One drivers’ standings by a comfortable margin, but after losing the world championship to Lewis Hamilton in 2014 and 2015, the German is taking nothing for granted. After establishing a 43-point advantage over his Mercedes team-mate with victories in the opening four races, both history and the odds are stacked in his favour, yet Rosberg—at the beginning of the longest season in F1 history—remains convinced Hamilton will bounce back from an unfortunate start to 2016. Hamilton’s chances of defending his crown are likely to depend on... 

Has the 2016 Formula 1 Season Been Too Predictable?

The Russian Grand Prix was the fourth race of the 2016 Formula One season, and Nico Rosberg has won them all. With nearly one-fifth of the season now in the rearview mirror—and despite Rosberg’s apparent dominance—there is a surprising lack of clarity at the top of the standings. It seems the only thing we know about this championship is that we still don’t really know anything. Rosberg has driven well and is now on a seven-race winning streak, dating back to last year, but he has not really been challenged yet. His Mercedes team-mate, Lewis Hamilton, the preseason title...
