Formula One Driver Rankings for the 2010 Season: The Bottom Five

Earlier I looked at the best drivers from the 2010 Formula 1 season. Now its time for the other end of the field. As before when I looked at the best drivers over the year I used these questions to help me order them. How well they did? How well they did compared to expectations? How many mistakes they made? Did they maximise what they had? The Lucky man award goes to Michael Schumacher who would... 

Driver Rankings For The Formula One 2010 Season: The Top Five

This year was a titanic struggle for the title. There were quality moments, controversial moments, crashes and even the odd moment of overtaking. There were some great drives and some terrible ones. Overall, the 2010 season was a good one. This piece celebrates my personal choices for the Top Five drivers of the 2010 Formula 1 season. I ranked these drivers on four factors— How well they... 

What Happens When You Mix a Formula 1 Car, a Spaceship and a Periscope?

The name of this piece has probably never been thought of before. You will see the result further down. In Formula 1, anything that gives you an additional advantage will be used in the desperation to be No. 1. We have had geniuses such as Colin Chapman, Gordon Murray, Rory Bryne and Adrian Newey all have produced cars that, due to their design, are some of the greatest driving... 

Formula 1 and Its Most Disgraceful Moment: When Lives Meant Virtually Nothing

Formula 1 is a dangerous sport. Many people have died in Formula 1 cars and despite the now 16-year gap since the fatality, it will happen again. Safety is one of the most paramount features in Formula 1 car and track design, and it has to be like that. Finding the line between safety and excitement is virtually impossible. I would love to see the old Nurburgring Nordschleife on the calendar, but there... 

Felipe Massa: What Went Wrong for the Ferrari Man in 2010

Felipe Massa was one of the success stories of 2008 season. He came within a whisker of winning the championship, he defeated Kimi Raikkonen by 22 points and all was looking good for his future. In 2009, he struggled with a poor car and then the horror moment in Hungary. In Hungary, an 800 gram spring falling off the rear suspension of Rubens Barrichello smashed Massa in the helmet when he was doing... 

Wolfgang Von Trips: The Original German Formula 1 Master

Wolfgang Von Trips was a German nobleman and Formula 1 racer. His career statistics don’t make overly impressive reading. He only scored 56 points and earned just two race victories. But what everyone agrees on is that he could of been a multi-time world drivers champion. This is a man whose statistics hide the ability he had.  His Formula 1 career technically started... 

Michael Schumacher: The Good, the Bad and the Ugly of His 2010 Season

Michael Schumacher is one of the greatest drivers of all time. Some would say he is the greatest of all time. Personally I have him third in my all time list but he is still a Formula 1 legend. His “retirement” in 2006 was met by huge plaudits when anyone talked about his legendary career. His 91 victories, his 68 pole position, his 76 fastest laps, seven world... 

Bruno Senna: The Blessing and Curse of His Surname

Many drivers in Formula 1 have certain things expected of them even before they turn the wheel. In 1994, Hideki Noda said, “People expect me to be rubbish.” Everyone did indeed expect that, but Noda did very respectably considering the car he was driving. This year, some people expected Schumacher to return and produce the same sort of results as we have seen from him before; as it turned... 

Sweden’s Greatest Driving Export: Ronnie Peterson, Legendary Talent

Monza is well known around the world and is one of the favourite tracks of many on the F1 circuit. It’s a track well known for high speed, slip streaming and overtaking. Over the years, there has been many good races including one of my personal favourites, the 1998 Italian Grand Prix. But there have been many other classics there, such as the 1971 race, the 1988 race and the 1999 race to name... 

The Loss of Cevert: The Prodigy That Never Got To Be the Master

The 1970s was a true golden decade of Formula One. The era of Lotus, Tyrrell, Brabham, Ferrari, March, and the decade we saw the emergence of the McLaren and Williams Formula One teams. It was not only the teams but the quality of the drivers was incredible with the likes of Rindt, Stewart, Lauda, Andretti, Fittipaldi, Hunt, Peterson (who I will write about in depth in a later article) to name just...
