Formula 1 Solves Qualifying Dilemma, but Governance Problems Remain

Common sense finally—finally—prevailed in the Formula One qualifying saga this week. Unfortunately, it took a near-unprecedented showing of team unity to force the FIA’s and Formula One Management’s hands, so don’t hold your breath waiting for that common sense to spill over into other decisions regarding the future of the sport. On Thursday, after receiving a unanimous letter from the teams, the FIA and FOM issued a joint statement acquiescing to their demands and announcing a return to the qualifying format used in 2015.  In case you missed it, here is a quick... 

Formula 1’s Latest Rumours and Talk: Mercedes’ Toto Wolff, Manor and More

Mercedes may have won the opening two races of 2016, but the Silver Arrows’ start to the new Formula One season has not been without problems. Lewis Hamilton and team-mate Nico Rosberg are as formidable as ever in qualifying conditions, and the team—having won two consecutive drivers’ and constructors’ world championships—are now sufficiently battle-hardened to salvage victory from the jaws of defeat, but Mercedes are carrying an obvious weakness. In Australia and Bahrain, Hamilton and Rosberg suffered substandard getaways from the start line, forcing the three-time... 

Formula 1’s Driver Power Rankings After 2016 Bahrain Grand Prix

Nico Rosberg won his second race of the season with an impressive drive at the 2016 Formula One Bahrain Grand Prix. The German took the lead at the start and was never seriously threatened, eventually crossing the line over 10 seconds clear of second-placed Kimi Raikkonen. In turn, the Finn had an easy time holding off Lewis Hamilton, who recovered to third in a damaged car following contact at the first corner. Daniel Ricciardo drove exceptionally to take fourth for the second consecutive race, just ahead of another of the weekend’s top performers—Haas’ Romain Grosjean. If his... 

Formula 1 Qualifying: Would Aggregate Times Really Be Better Than Elimination?

Formula One qualifying will once again be top of the agenda when the sport’s rule makers get together on Thursday. Per Sky Sports F1, the teams will have their second opportunity of the season so far on Thursday to vote on whether they want to get rid of the controversial and unpopular elimination qualifying format. If they all agree, it will be consigned to its proper place in the darker reaches of the sport’s collective memory, never to be seen again. And all the teams do indeed agree on one thing: none of them want elimination to still be in place when qualifying begins for the Chinese... 

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

Were it not for his lacklustre start from fourth on the grid, Kimi Raikkonen may have won the Bahrain Grand Prix. After the trials and tribulations of Sebastian Vettel and Lewis Hamilton, the 2007 world champion’s poor getaway gave Nico Rosberg the breathing space he needed to establish an early lead en route to his second win of the 2016 Formula One season. But the extent of Raikkonen’s recovery, in what was arguably his most impressive performance since returning to Ferrari in 2014, allowed him to threaten Rosberg in the latter stages, with his team cheering on the Finn as he pursued... 

Formula 1’s Latest Rumours and Talk: Nico Rosberg, Kimi Raikkonen and More

Nico Rosberg‘s impressive start to the 2016 Formula One season continued in Sunday’s Bahrain Grand Prix at the Sakhir circuit, where the German claimed his second victory of the year and fifth in succession stretching back to the previous campaign. But despite establishing an early lead in the drivers’ standings, Rosberg is refusing to think too far ahead, warning his Mercedes team must remain mindful of the threat posed by Ferrari. Much like the season-opening race in Australia, Ferrari made Mercedes’ job much easier in Bahrain, as Sebastian Vettel suffered an engine failure... 

Power Ranking the Formula 1 Teams After 2016 Bahrain Grand Prix

Mercedes and Nico Rosberg cruised to an easy victory at the 2016 Formula One Bahrain Grand Prix. The German team and driver leave the Middle East with 100 per cent records and healthy leads in the championships, having won both of 2016’s races so far. Ferrari were again the best of the rest; though Sebastian Vettel retired on the formation lap, Kimi Raikkonen had more than enough pace to finish second ahead of Lewis Hamilton‘s damaged Silver Arrow. Daniel Ricciardo was again fourth for Red Bull, while Haas and Romain Grosjean continued their incredible start to the season by crossing... 

Bahrain Grand Prix 2016: Winners and Losers from Sakhir Race

Nico Rosberg claimed his second victory of the 2016 Formula One season in Sunday’s Bahrain Grand Prix at the Sakhir circuit. After starting from second on the grid, the German moved into the lead at the first corner and led almost throughout, claiming his fifth win in succession and extending his early lead at the top of the drivers’ championship. The trials and tribulations endured by Lewis Hamilton, whom Valtteri Bottas hit at the first corner, and Sebastian Vettel, who failed to even start the race, made Rosberg’s evening easier than it might otherwise have been, with Ferrari’s... 

Red Bull and Haas Continue Surprising Form at Bahrain Grand Prix

Formula One is too predictable these days, right? That has been a common complaint over the last two-plus seasons of Mercedes domination. And that may be true at the top of the grid, which looks pretty much as expected so far in 2016: Mercedes are out in front, and Ferrari (when their cars are running) are a bit behind but clearly second-best. If you look at the constructors’ standings following Sunday’s Bahrain Grand Prix, though, there are a couple surprises just below those top teams. Red Bull, expected to struggle with their TAG Heuer-badged Renault engines, are third and debutants... 

Bahrain F1 Grand Prix 2016 Results: Winner, Standings, Highlights, Reaction

Nico Rosberg cruised to victory at the Bahrain Grand Prix on Sunday with a commanding performance from the outset at the Bahrain International Circuit. World champion Lewis Hamilton started in pole position for the race, but he quickly found himself jostling with the pack and could only come through in third place. Kimi Raikkonen was left to fly the flag for Ferrari after Sebastian Vettel suffered engine failure in the formation lap, and he did so well by coming in second behind Rosberg. Here’s a look at the final results from a dramatic race in the Middle East, per Formula 1: Hamilton was...
