Lewis Hamilton won a rain-soaked 2016 Brazilian Formula One Grand Prix after leading from start to finish on the Interlagos track at Sao Paulo on Sunday. The 31-year-old finished ahead of Mercedes team-mate Nico Rosberg, meaning he’s pushed the fight for the world championship to the season’s final race at Abu Dhabi. It was a stop-start day littered with red flags and featuring more than one crash, where the safety car did almost as much driving as the racers. But Hamilton started fast and never relinquished his lead. Meanwhile, Rosberg stayed steady in torrential conditions, although...

More power to Haas for doing things differently upon their entry to Formula One in 2016. On course to finish eighth in the constructors’ championship with 29 points, the team have proved their unique approach to motor racing can succeed—purchasing as many parts as possible from Ferrari and fitting them to a chassis designed by Dallara. Sure, teething troubles have developed and their competitiveness has inevitably waned as their debut season has progressed, but the newcomers have generally achieved their aim of looking like seasoned professionals. And what’s more,...

Lewis Hamilton geared up for Sunday’s Formula One Brazilian Grand Prix precisely as hoped after storming into an early lead during Friday’s first practice session, where he finished fastest with a lap time of one minute, 11.895 seconds. Mercedes team-mate Nico Rosberg will secure the 2016 Formula One world championship this weekend as long as he wins at the Autodromo Jose Carlos Pace in Sao Paulo on Sunday, but Hamilton is still putting up a fight. Rosberg finished a little more than two-tenths of a second behind Hamilton, good enough for the third-fastest time...

Behind the wheel of a slow, unpredictable and at times evil car, Jolyon Palmer has endured a difficult debut season in Formula One in 2016. Renault’s understandable focus on the future has almost made the team forget the present, with Palmer and team-mate Kevin Magnussen effectively weaponless, making up the numbers toward the rear of the field. But the British driver will have the opportunity to prove his true worth in 2017, having been awarded a contract extension. After recovering well from a shaky start to the season, Palmer will argue he is fully deserving of a new deal, but it would...

Nico Rosberg has won the last two Brazilian Grands Prix and, with Formula One descending on Sao Paulo again this weekend, he can wrap up his first world championship with a victory. Lewis Hamilton, meanwhile, has never won in Brazil, although he did clinch his first title at the Interlagos circuit in dramatic fashion back in 2008. The battle between the Mercedes team-mates has swung back and forth all year, and Hamilton has dominated recently, winning convincingly in the United States and Mexico. But even wins in Brazil and the final race, in Abu Dhabi, will not be enough if Rosberg can manage...

The penultimate round of the 2016 Formula One season will take place at this weekend’s Brazilian Grand Prix at Interlagos, where Nico Rosberg can secure his first world championship. After finishing second to Mercedes team-mate and title rival Lewis Hamilton in the recent Mexican GP, a 10th victory of the year in Brazil will be enough for Rosberg to clinch the crown and follow in the footsteps of his father, 1982 world champion Keke. At a circuit where he won convincingly in 2014 and ’15, the German couldn’t wish for a better place to stage his day of destiny, but can Rosberg...

Pascal Wehrlein may be only the second driver in Manor’s history to score a world championship point, yet his reputation seems to have fallen as the 2016 Formula One season has progressed. The German was regarded as a future world champion when he finished 10th in July’s Austrian Grand Prix with an almost logic-defying performance at the Red Bull Ring, where he followed in the footsteps of the late Jules Bianchi. But now there are doubts over his true potential and doubts over his attitude, especially after that team-radio conversation at the recent United States GP. And with the Mercedes-backed...

Lewis Hamilton is an easy target. He is young, rich, successful, attractive and, it must be said, he seems to enjoy showing it all off. He is also the only current Formula One driver with any pop culture currency, which must be unsettling to those who would rather think of them as joyless automatons, singularly dedicated to the craft of driving and shaving another hundredth-of-a-second off off their Sector 2 time. Because Hamilton has other interests in his life and because those interests include partying with fellow celebrities and jetting around the world on his private plane, he receives an...
