Ranking the Top 10 Italian Racing Drivers in Formula 1 History

France is the birthplace of grand prix racing and Britain is the heartland, but the sport’s spiritual home is in Italy. The country has produced two world champions—Alberto Ascari and Nino Farina—and is home to one of the most famous racing circuits in the world: the Autodromo Nazionale Monza. Despite that, Formula One is in the midst of its third-straight season without an Italian...

Ranking the Top 10 British Racing Drivers in Formula 1 History

This weekend is the 50th running of the British Grand Prix at its current home, Silverstone. It is a de facto home race for most Formula One teams and—along with Monaco, Monza and Spa—one of the only circuits remaining from the first F1 season, 1950.

Pirelli Formula 1 Tyres in 2014: Are They Finally Right for Grand Prix Racing?

This time last year, tyres were occupying a lot of column inches on Formula One news sites. The biggest story of the spring was tyre-related. Mercedes had used a 2013 car to help tyre supplier Pirelli with development work in a “secret” test at the Circuit de Catalunya in late May. Their rivals weren’t happy with the German team, and at an FIA hearing they were banned from the Young...

Can the New Gene Haas Racing Team Succeed in Formula 1?

Now that the new American entry is confirmed, the next questions that must be asked are: Can the team succeed in F1 and how quickly? In 2010, three new teams were added to the F1 grid: HRT, Lotus (now Caterham) and Virgin (now Marussia). HRT was out of... 

Breaking Down the Costs of Racing in Formula 1: Is Spending Out of Control?

The 2013 Formula One season was filled with reports of teams in financial trouble. It is no secret that many of the smaller teams (and even the race-winning Lotus team) are struggling. At the same time, F1 is bringing in record levels of revenue. So, how can we reconcile these two, apparently conflicting, realities? To do so, there are two areas that must be considered: the teams’ spending... 

Why a Good Start Is so Critical to Today’s F1 Racing

All Sebastian Vettel has to do at Sunday’s Indian Grand Prix to seal a remarkable fourth world drivers’ titles in as many years is finish fifth. Regardless of where closest rival Fernando Alonso finishes, fifth will seal the deal for Vettel once again. Even if Vettel fails to finish and Alonso wins, it’s almost impossible to see the Spaniard mounting the biggest comeback in F1 history...
