Remaining F1 Constructors’ Championship Battles Have Big Financial Implications

Mercedes may have locked up their third straight Formula One constructors’ title with four races remaining, but there are still several important battles raging lower down in the standings. The casual fan may not get too excited about whether Williams can catch Force India for fourth place or if Sauber can steal a point to pass Manor for 10th place, but it matters to the teams.

5 Drivers Who Could Replace Nico Hulkenberg at Force India in 2017 F1 Season

Force India would never have expected to be forced into this. Not now, anyway. Throughout the summer, the team fought ever so hard to keep Sergio Perez, the most successful driver in their history, who—despite signing a contract extension for the 2017 Formula One season—was still at risk of being taken away by his personal sponsors. When Perez’s future was finally resolved at the recent Malaysian Grand Prix, it seemed Force India would have the stability they required ahead of next year’s major regulation changes, only for their other driver to suddenly head for the...

Why Nico Hulkenberg Must Move to Renault from Force India

Despite his talent behind the wheel, Nico Hulkenberg has spent his entire Formula One career making lateral move after lateral move—from Williams to Force India, to Sauber and back to Force India. Now it seems the door is open for what looks, on the surface, like yet another move to a midfield team, albeit one that will finish the season some 150 points behind his current team. And yet, this is a move Hulkenberg needs to make. Renault are interested in signing the 29-year-old German, according to Autosport‘s Ian Parkes. Having lost Romain Grosjean at the end of last season,...

Lewis Hamilton‘s poor start—yes, another one—at Sunday’s Japanese Grand Prix may end up being one too many for the defending champion to handle. As the red lights blinked out, Hamilton, starting second, barely moved off the line and was immediately swarmed by the cars behind him.
