Top 10 Strange-Looking Formula 1 Cars of All Time

Formula 1 has seen some fantastic looking machines such as the Lotus 49 but it has also made some truly odd ones. This is a brief look at some of the more mad looking machines that have graced the Formula 1 paddock throughout the years. There are sure to be some cars I have forgotten so feel free to comment on what cars you feel should of made the list. Cars lucky not to make the list: Ferguson P99 Ligier... 

Stefan Bellof: One of the Fastest Drivers Ever

The Monaco Grand Prix of 1984 is remembered for several reasons. Most people remember it for the horrendous weather and Ayrton Senna in the Toleman hunting down Alain Prost in the McLaren before the red flag fell. What is less remembered is the fact that Stefan Bellof in the Tyrrell was catching both of them. Had the race continued, chances are it would have resulted in a Bellof victory with... 

The Demise of HRT: Joining the Ranks of so Many Minnows Before Them

Had HRT entered Formula 1 20 years ago, they would have fit in a lot better than they did over their three-season life, which recently ended. The late ’80s and early ’90s were part of the golden age for teams with more optimism than cash. Teams such as Life, Coloni, Pacific, Eurobrun, Simtek, AGS and Forti all attempted to crack the Formula 1 world with nothing more than a few quid... 

Michael Schumacher: The Human Side of the Great German

It would be very easy for me now, to write a piece on how Michael Schumacher‘s comeback was a total disaster and he should have stayed away from racing. However I feel that ground has been covered fairly well by other people, so I have decided to take a look at a few of the more emotional moments of the great German’s career. There is something of a myth that still surrounds Schumacher... 

The Rodriguez Brothers: The Original Mexican Formula 1 Prodigies

With Sergio Perez having an excellent start to the 2012 season for Sauber after his settling in rookie season in 2011, he is thought to be one of the most promising drivers on the grid. He is considered one of the most likely drivers to take over if Felipe Massa is sacked by Ferrari. It is clear he is a very highly thought of driver and his drive in Malaysia was... 

British American Racing in 1999: Debut Season That Was All Hype with No Results

Coming into Formula 1 as a brand new team can be very difficult, as Caterham, Marussia and HRT have demonstrated over the past few seasons. The sheer amount of money required to put together a Formula 1 team can stop teams in their tracks. Proposed teams have collapsed due to a lack of funds before they ever really began, including Mastercard Lola, USF1, DAMS and Dome. Each of these failed teams were... 

Formula 1: Senna and Schumacher: Lucky to Get There or Was It Their Abilities?

When anyone mentions the names Senna and Schumacher nearly everyone begins to talk about the amazing achievements done by Ayrton and Michael. That is logical of course, they won 10 world championships between them and are two of the finest drivers ever to grace the sport of Formula 1. However, this piece is not about those two men. This piece is about the other Senna and Schumacher that have... 

Mercedes Grand Prix: Sliding Down the Grid Rather Than Climbing It

Last year, Mercedes finished a solid, if unspectacular, fourth in the constructors championship. They would have wanted to be further up the grid, but for a first season in their comeback, it was a respectable effort. The 2011 season was meant to be the big step up for the team. Testing pace before the season was fairly poor with the car seeming off the pace once again. However, they placed a load... 

Hispania Racing: Going the Way That so Many Have Gone Before

I am a Ferrari fan through and through. I have been for all my life, and I have no intention of changing anytime soon. But like many fans of Formula 1, I have something of a fascination with the teams at the very back of the grid. The teams that don’t have much money or resources but try so hard and try to compete with the corporate giants at the front. The first season I have a clear... 

Formula 1 and the Worst Pay Driver: A Match Made in Money

Recently I wrote a piece giving my top three drivers in the history of Formula 1. I thought it only appropriate that I look at the other end of the scale. This is a piece on one of the worst drivers ever to grace the sport. A man who got in to Formula 1 for one reason and one reason alone: Money. Now pay drivers nearly always drove for teams in the same situations. Out on their last...
