The five red lights went out and Valtteri Bottas leaped off the line, instantly nudging ahead of Daniel Ricciardo’s Red Bull and sidestepping Kimi Raikkonen’s slow-starting Ferrari. As he sped past the piece of track reserved for the sister Ferrari of Sebastian Vettel, whose engine failure on the formation lap left him unable to start a race for the first time in his Formula One career,...

After being scarred by bold promises and overambitious targets, McLaren-Honda are finally beginning to deliver in Formula One. Fernando Alonso‘s seventh-place finish in the Singapore Grand Prix means the team have now scored double the amount of points they managed to scratch together during their worst season in 35 years in 2015.
