F1 2016 Head-to-Head: Valtteri Bottas vs. Felipe Massa at Williams

Williams will field an unchanged lineup for the 2016 Formula One season, with veteran Felipe Massa once again partnered by rising star Valtteri Bottas. The ideal mix of experience and youth has seen the Grove-based team secure third place in the constructors’ championship for two years in a row, and Williams will be hoping that stability in their driver pairing will lead to further success in... 

Is Formula 1 Missing an Opportunity with Boring Car Launches in 2016?

The first Formula One pre-season test is less than a month away, and we’re entering “launch season”—the time when the teams show off their cars for the year ahead. In days gone by, these launches would often be extravagant parties featuring beautiful backdrops or world-famous celebrity guests. Fans who recall the 1990s will remember McLaren‘s glitzy 1997 launch of the... 

4 Things We Learned from Paul Ricard Wet-Weather Formula 1 Tyre Test

The first on-track Formula One action of 2016 took place at the Paul Ricard Circuit in southern France, as three of the teams tested Pirelli‘s new wet-weather tyres. Ferrari, McLaren and Red Bull put the rubber through its paces on January 25 and 26, completing a total of 2,326 kilometres. The weather was cool but fine, so Paul Ricard’s advanced sprinkler system was used to simulate a variety... 

Why the Return of Refuelling Would Be Bad for Formula 1

Refuelling appears to have once again fallen off the agenda for 2017. A return was proposed at a meeting of the Formula One Strategy Group last May, as part of a series of measures aimed at “improving the show.” Other suggestions included increased downforce, wider tyres, lighter cars and a more aggressive look—but it was the refuelling return that stood out, and it quickly became... 

Sebastian Vettel and Formula 1’s Great Career Moves

Sebastian Vettel is probably feeling pretty good about life as he prepares for the 2016 Formula One season. When he signed for Ferrari toward the end of 2014, the Scuderia were nowhere. The Italian team had got their new V6 turbo hybrid power unit horribly wrong and had yet again built a disappointing car. Thanks to Fernando Alonso‘s efforts, they finished fourth in the constructors’ championship;... 

F1 2016 Head-to-Head: Max Verstappen vs. Carlos Sainz at Toro Rosso

The Red Bull-owned Toro Rosso team is unique in Formula One in that it exists for the benefit of one of its rivals. The team’s goal is to take talented but raw youngsters from the Red Bull Junior Team and refine them into finished products who are ready to step up to the main Red Bull squad whenever a vacancy arises. Sebastian Vettel is the most well-known and successful product of this system,... 

Toro Rosso vs. Red Bull: Could the Support Act Outshine the Star in 2016?

Red Bull enter the 2016 Formula One season aiming to return to the top step of the podium after a disappointing and winless 2015 campaign. The Austrian team lost their place as best of the rest to Ferrari, frequently found themselves outpaced by Williams and managed just three podiums on their way to fourth in the constructors’ championship. Their total of 187 points was by far the lowest they... 

Why Greater Free-to-Air Coverage Is Essential to Secure Formula 1’s Future

Following Formula One can be an expensive business in many countries, and the United Kingdom is no exception. Live coverage of all the races is only available through a subscription to Sky Sports; according to the Guardian, the most basic version of this costs £564 per year. But UK viewers are fortunate in one respect—some races are shown on free-to-air TV. Channel 4 has taken over from... 

F1 2016 Head-to-Head: Sebastian Vettel vs. Kimi Raikkonen at Ferrari

Sebastian Vettel versus Kimi Raikkonen was supposed to have been one of the highlights of the 2015 Formula One season. A four-time world champion had arrived at Ferrari to partner a man with a single title—but who should really have had at least two. Both had seen their abilities questioned after being beaten by their team-mates the previous year, so both had massive points to prove. Was Vettel... 

Introducing Formula 1 Rookie Jolyon Palmer

Jolyon Palmer’s lifelong dream will finally come to fruition on March 20 when he makes his Formula One debut at the 2016 Australian Grand Prix. The 24-year-old Brit will partner Pastor Maldonado at the Renault team, having served as the reserve driver for their predecessors Lotus in 2015. Palmer will become the first GP2 champion since the man he is replacing, Romain Grosjean, to make the step...
