Formula 1’s Latest Rumours & Talk: Vettel Reaction, Maldonado’s Future & More

While the now four-time Formula One world champion Sebastian Vettel deservedly took centre stage throughout the Indian Grand Prix, plenty of other stories were bubbling away below the surface. Several drivers, past and present, paid tribute to the remarkable 26-year-old, but although Vettel’s future looks as promising as his present, there are still question marks surrounding others in F1, both... 

Could Formula 1 Have Done More for the Indian Grand Prix?

It is a shame that it has come to this. That the 2013 Indian Grand Prix was, even on a very remote scale, threatened by a Supreme Court case is a microcosm of the event’s brief time as part of the Formula One calendar. The party line is that India is not part of the 2014 calendar because championship organisers want to shift the race to an earlier berth, and it would not make sense, the argument... 

Should Formula 1 Be Concerned About the Future of Its Smaller Teams?

There was discourse as Formula One’s new Strategy Group met for the first time this week. Representatives of the four leading teams in F1—Red Bull, Ferrari, McLaren and Mercedes—plus the best of the rest (Lotus) and a team of great heritage (Williams) form the new organisation that will effectively decide upon the direction in which the sport heads in the future. The obvious immediate... 

Ranking the Top 10 Possible Indian Grand Prix Winners According to Their Odds

What a difference a race makes in Formula One. The outcome from the Japanese Grand Prix might have been par for the course at this stage of the season, with Sebastian Vettel claiming yet another win on his relentless march to a fourth world title. But it was a very different race to those that preceded it, because we had a genuine fight for the win. Romain Grosjean, long admired by B/R but long feared... 

Comparing the Sounds of New Formula 1 Engines from 2014

At the end of last week, Honda became the latest Formula One engine manufacturer to release a taster of what its V6 engine will sound like. The Japanese company will power McLaren (and possibly other teams) from 2015 onwards. It joins existing suppliers Renault and Mercedes in sampling the sounds that the new-for-2014, turbocharged powerplants will make. If you have not yet heard the sounds, look no... 

Analysing Daniil Kvyat’s Toro Rosso F1 Move: Is the Russian Too Young for 2014?

The announcement from Scuderia Toro Rosso that 19-year-old Daniil Kvyat will replace the Red Bull-bound Daniel Ricciardo next season raised the predictable eyebrows and drew the expected criticisms. Red Bull has long been driven by the appeal of the short-term facet of results, and this encapsulates a problem that is present through motorsport—especially the single-seater ladder. When ability... 

Formula 1’s Latest Rumours and Talk: Customer Cars, Alonso to Mclaren and More

Could Fernando Alonso be heading to McLaren in 2015? Is Formula One edging closer to becoming a customer car formula? Will “works” engine teams Mercedes and Ferrari dominate next season? These are just some of the questions and stories making their way around the internet at the moment. Of course, with the season rapidly coming to its conclusion, the whispers inevitably develop into roars,... 

Ayrton Senna: Breaking Down Icon’s Standing in F1 History

Numbers do not mean everything in Formula One, at least in the eyes of the fan. That is why Ayrton Senna, still a triple world champion, is often viewed by many as being the greatest of all time, despite the likes of Alain Prost, Juan Manuel Fangio and Michael Schumacher all having won more titles than the Brazilian. That’s not to say Senna is not among the greatest when it comes to statistics.... 

Jean Todt or David Ward: Assessing the Candidates for FIA’s Next President

Fans of Formula One rarely bat an eyelid at the goings on of the FIA. The exception to this is usually when the sport’s governing body gets involved in some sort of political debate or controversy within the teams—such as the McLaren Spygate scandal in 2007 or Mercedes’ Pirelli test earlier this year. But fans should care about the upcoming presidential election, in which there are... 

5 Drivers Who Would Benefit from a Change of Scenery for Formula 1 2014

Despite the name, the Formula One driver merry-go-round is rarely a fun place to be. Those who enjoy it are drivers moving up in the sport, but it is a poignant reminder of the state of F1 that deserving midfield drivers progressing are the exception, not the rule. There are not a lot of seats on offer for F1 2014, so looking at drivers who would benefit from a change of scenery becomes somewhat difficult. However,...
