Lance Stroll Is a Risk Williams Didn’t Need to Take for 2017 Formula 1 Season

When the inevitable question came, Formula One’s latest boy wonder dealt with it as well as he possibly could. As deputy team principal Claire Williams mused, per Sky Sports, the team were “really, really excited” as they announced their 2017 driver lineup on Thursday morning, confirming teenager Lance Stroll would replace the retiring Felipe Massa at the end of this season.

Formula 1’s Latest Rumours, Talk: Williams’ Lance Stroll, Valtteri Bottas, More

Lance Stroll will become the second-youngest driver in Formula One history when he makes his grand prix debut with Williams at the beginning of 2017. The 18-year-old Canadian has been chosen to replace the retiring Felipe Massa after dominating the FIA European Formula Three Championship in 2016.

Formula 1 Book Review: ‘What Doesn’t Kill You…’ by Johnny Herbert

I bet you didn’t know that Johnny Herbert once (jokingly) tried to climb into a bathtub with future Formula One world champion Mika Hakkinen while they were sharing a hotel room as Lotus team-mates. Maybe you didn’t want to know that, either, or it feels like too much information, but Herbert doesn’t hold much back in his new autobiography, What Doesn’t Kill You…, out November 3 from Transworld Publishers. The 52-year-old, Essex-born Herbert has been in the spotlight since his teenage years, and the broad strokes of his life are well-known among racing fans. His... 

Biggest Late-Season Comebacks in Formula 1 History

Lewis Hamilton is in the midst of what would be a historic comeback, should he be able to catch his Mercedes team-mate, Nico Rosberg, for the Formula One drivers’ title. Historic, but not altogether unprecedented. With four races remaining this season, Hamilton trailed Rosberg by 33 points, with 25 available for a victory. Two straight victories for the Brit, with his team-mate following him home in second each time, has reduced the gap to 19 points—but there are only two races left. It might sound like an impossible task—and with Rosberg‘s near-bulletproof reliability thus... 

5 of the Most Interesting Radio Messages from 2016 Mexican Grand Prix

Sebastian Vettel turned Formula One’s radio airwaves blue in Sunday’s Mexican Grand Prix at the Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez. Having been restricted to just one podium finish in 10 races, the four-time world champion had seemed set to make a welcome return to the top three in Mexico, where he pressurised Red Bull driver Max Verstappen into an error in the latter stages. That should have been enough to guarantee a podium finish, but Verstappen’s refusal to gift the position to him saw the Ferrari driver launch an astonishing outburst, with F1’s referee even coming in for...

So what would you do if you were Kevin Magnussen? Would you commit your Formula One future to Renault, a team who will have a more competitive car next season but have spent much of 2016 trying to get rid of you?  Or would you take a chance on Haas, who have offered you the security of a multi-year contract and an opportunity to grow and finally realise your true potential?

Formula 1 Must Put a Time Limit on Post-Race Investigations and Penalties

Imagine turning off the television after watching your favourite football club celebrate a victory only to see in the newspaper the next morning that they actually lost. Ridiculous, right? Well, that scenario is becoming an all-too-common occurrence in Formula One. At Sunday’s Mexican Grand Prix, Daniel Ricciardo crossed the line fifth and was disappointed to miss out on one of the best podium ceremonies of the year in front of a packed, enthusiastic crowd. “The outcome was a bit of a shame,” the Aussie lamented in a post-race interview on Sky Sports. “I really wanted...
