It's safe to say that the buzz from both the punditry and the fans about this Formula One season has been, development. After the relative developmental paralysis of both the 2008 and 2009 seasons, be it because of uncertainty about the rules, restrictions like KERS and both McLaren's and Ferrari's weak start to the 2009 season. Development was not at the forefront of the discussions for both...

Rain rain go away, away from here today. In the case of Formula One so far, the 2010 season could not be further from the truth. What exactly about wet tarmac makes racing so good? Formula One cars are very powerful beasts, weighing around 600kg while having more than 700bhp. If one is to look at it that way, Formula One should be the most exciting form of motorsport in the world. But the only way...

In Sebastian Vettel's short career, we have learned thing about the young German, he's fast-blisteringly so as a matter of fact. During the weekend he broke Michael Schumacher's fast lap record while setting pole at the Albert Park circuit, by more than half a second. What's so amazing about that is that Schumacher set his lap record in a car that had a three liter V-10, stickier tires and more...

Bruno Senna had this to say Thursday in Melbourne when talking about Formula One's testing ban on new teams: "I think, both for the new teams and the new drivers, it is very important to get some miles of testing. It would be great for us if we could test a little bit when we get to Europe after the first races, as we could take many of the kinks—the very basic things that we could have been...

That last name Senna bears a lot of weight. It's a lot for one man to bear and sometimes seems like a name so heavy, that a whole nation can't hold it up. Brazil has few national heroes, and one of them died at the peak of his career. It was, to say the least, shocking. Ayrton Senna was one of the icons of the 20th century, at least in motorsports. He was so influential, that even more than a decade...

I wrote an article here on BleacherReport a few months ago about why I thought that Formula One and open wheel racing was dying in North America and especially in the States. I postulated lots of things; NASCAR, foreign drivers, the auto industry. But I when I wrote that article I still had hope that reunification, new sponsors, and the possibility of new engine suppliers for the 2012 season and...

Formula One testing is about to be over later today. In the past month, there has been lots of speculation of how each team has prepared their new contender for the 2010 season. But unruly weather, red flags galore, indeterminate fuel loads, and lots of other factors have left the expected running order foggy, if not cloudy for when the lights go out in a fortnight in Bahrain. I intend to handicap...

Here we are. It's the 14th of February, and the Formula One season is 30 days away from starting. That's only 720 hours or so. 720 hours and counting until the start of a new era in the history of Formula One. But that begs the question: how different might this "New World Order" look from the so derided ancient regime of Formula One? Both the FIA and FOTA have a a lot of interest in marketing 2010...

The Pedro de la Rosa to Sauber news that surfaced on Sunday out of the Swiss press and was quickly squashed by Pedro himself was quite honestly the most perplexing piece of news I've heard in Formula One circles in quite some time. It didn't add up, Pedro has never had any relationship with the Sauber outfit. He is the "British Spaniard" after all he did race for Jaguar along with the most British...
