Formula 1’s Latest Rumours and Talk: Max Verstappen, Fernando Alonso and More

Max Verstappen and Carlos Sainz Jr. formed one of the most exciting, dynamic partnerships in Formula One in 2015, but it has only taken one race of the new season for civil war to break out at Scuderia Toro Rosso. Verstappen appeared to be on course to equal or even surpass his career-best finish during the first phase of the Australian Grand Prix, but his afternoon quickly “went downhill,” as he admitted via his official Twitter account, and the Dutchman ultimately finished a distant 10th. The teenager struggled to accept his fall down the pecking order and frequently criticised the... 

Australian Grand Prix 2016: Winners and Losers from Albert Park Race

Nico Rosberg began the new Formula One season in the same fashion he ended the last by claiming victory in Sunday’s Australian Grand Prix at the Albert Park circuit. The German and team-mate Lewis Hamilton, the reigning world champion, recovered from poor starts to claim Mercedes’ 33rd win in the last two years, but the Silver Arrows’ latest victory was one of their most hard-fought since they emerged as F1’s dominant force at the beginning of the 2014 campaign. Indeed, four-time title winner Sebastian Vettel was the favourite to win in the early stages of the race, but... 

Ferrari Show Title-Challenging Pace at the Australian Grand Prix

The result of Sunday’s Australian Grand Prix—a Mercedes one-two, followed by Ferrari‘s Sebastian Vettel—will look familiar and predictable to anyone with a cursory interest in Formula One over the last couple years.

In Melbourne, it didn’t even take two corners. Throughout the offseason, the big question was: Could Ferrari catch Mercedes and end the Silver Arrows’ two-year...

Formula 1’s New Qualifying Format Is Doomed After 2016 Australian GP Farce

Lewis Hamilton and Nico Rosberg may have secured yet another front-row lockout in Formula One qualifying, but the end result was overshadowed by the process in the newly bespectacled eyes of their boss. “Rubbish,” was how head of Mercedes motorsport Toto Wolff felt about the new qualifying format, used for the first time at this weekend’s season-opening Australian Grand Prix, per Sky Sports’ Matthew Morlidge.
