Sebastian Vettel Delivers Meaningless Apology That He Shouldn’t Have to Make

Mark Webber isn’t stupid. He knows that, whether he likes it or not, Sebastian Vettel is Red Bull’s No. 1 driver and there will be no consequences for the three-time world champion’s actions during the Malaysian Grand Prix. Besides, even if team principal Christian Horner wanted to punish Vettel, what could they do to him? Tell him to write “I must not disobey team orders”...

Michael Schumacher to Finally End Disappointing Return to Formula One in Brazil

Michael Schumacher will race his last race this weekend at the Brazilian Grand Prix before returning to a retirement that he should never have left.

Red Bull Racing Falters Under Championship Pressure at Worst Possible Track
