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. And Stroll has expressed his excitement ahead of his debut season, as well as dismissing the idea that...

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…,...

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...

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...

Where will Ferrari stand in Formula One’s competitive order in 2017? By definition, the most successful team in the sport’s history should be there or thereabouts, fighting for victories and regular podium finishes at the very least. But after a scruffy 2016 marred by changes behind the scenes, is there a risk the Prancing Horse could be caught out when the major regulation changes...

After completing the signing of Nico Hulkenberg from Force India, it seems Renault are close to finalising their driver lineup for the 2017 Formula One season. The team had reportedly intended to partner Hulkenberg with Valtteri Bottas, but the Finn’s failure to wriggle his way out of his Williams contract has left Renault with a straight choice between one of their current drivers and their...

Back in 2014, there was a worry that, assisted by the ridiculous double-points rule, Nico Rosberg could win the Formula One title despite being overshadowed for most of the season by his Mercedes team-mate, Lewis Hamilton. Indeed, for most of their Mercedes tenure—and even before that—Hamilton has been the better driver. As NBC’s Will Buxton pointed out during the broadcast of Sunday’s...

“We will win again,” Ron Dennis promised upon his return to power at McLaren almost three years ago, per the Guardian‘s Paul Weaver. After a dreadful 2013 season, when the team created in his image paid the price for being too clever for their own good, Dennis’ comeback seemed to be exactly what McLaren needed to finally climb back up to the summit of Formula One. But...

McLaren-Honda may be the most improved team of the 2016 Formula One season, but you won’t find Ron Dennis celebrating that achievement. As far as the chairman—synonymous with the team’s dominance with Ayrton Senna and Alain Prost in the late 1980s and early ’90s—is concerned, McLaren are still nowhere near good enough and have nothing to shout about just yet. But Dennis...

So who is responsible for Ferrari’s forgettable 2016 Formula One season? Those behind the SF16-H car, which has been left behind by the Red Bull RB12 and the Mercedes W07? The brains on the prat perch, who threw away potential victories in Australia and Canada with questionable strategy calls? Or maybe the drivers, Sebastian Vettel and Kimi Raikkonen, who have made too many errors for a couple...
