Formula 1: Mark Webber’s Time at Red Bull Racing Coming to an End?

The writing is on the wall for Mark Webber. The Aussie journeyman’s time at Red Bull is coming to an end, despite him making it clear that he wants to drive next year and his preference is to stay at RBR until the end of his career. He may still get to finish his career at RBR, but it’s starting to look like he may not get the luxury of choosing his retirement date if he really wants stay. This... 

2011 Chinese Grand Prix: KERS, DRS and Pirelli Make Racing Fun Again

Okay, pay attention. This is going to be difficult to write, and once it’s out, it’ll never be repeated. The FIA got it right. It’s a phrase that doesn’t get uttered often, if at all, but by some quirk of fate they have managed to bring in a number of innovations to Formula 1 racing that have actually contrived to make the sport better. Yes, the key phrase in that previous sentence... 

Red Bull Racing: Do They Hate Mark Webber or Are They Just Incompetent?

Do Red Bull hate Mark Webber? Okay, that’s probably a bit harsh, but surely Webber must be asking himself why all of the team’s misfortune seems to be landing at his doorstep. To have it happen once is just a fact of racing, twice is unfortunate but three times smacks of carelessness. You get the impression that if Red Bull engineers were to give Webber a goldfish this year, it would probably... 

Lewis Hamilton and Fernando Alonso Penalized for Actually Racing in an F1 Race

Anyone who thinks that they can understand the mindset of the FIA and race stewards is either a psychic or schizophrenic, because it is beyond the intellect of we mortals to predict or understand how penalties are applied in Formula One. As the dust settled on an interesting and often exciting Malaysian Grand Prix, they saw fit to hand out 20-second penalties to McLaren’s Lewis Hamilton and Ferrari’s... 

Hispania Racing: Going the Way That so Many Have Gone Before

I am a Ferrari fan through and through. I have been for all my life, and I have no intention of changing anytime soon. But like many fans of Formula 1, I have something of a fascination with the teams at the very back of the grid. The teams that don’t have much money or resources but try so hard and try to compete with the corporate giants at the front. The first season I have a clear... 

Racing at the Australian Formula One Grand Prix with a Challenging 2011 Formula

The battle between the Formula One matadors has begun in earnest at last. In practice on Friday, times were not surprising for the most part.   As Ferrari driver and two-time world driving champion Fernando Alonso said, “We have new cars, new regulations and new drivers, but I doubt there will be anything new at the front of the grid.”   As it happened, that became painfully... 

Formula One: Narain Karthikeyan Returns for 2011, Joins Hispania Racing

Hispania have confirmed that Indian Narain Karthikeyan will return to Formula One this season. The Indian driver has not competed at this level of motorsport since 2005 with Jordan Grand Prix. He said that he was “extremely happy to be racing again in Formula 1” in a statement on the official website of the Spanish team. Karthikeyan also stated that he was confident that he still has “the... 

F1 2011 Grid Takes Shape As D’Ambrosio Signs for Virgin Racing

Virgin Racing announced today that Jerome D’Ambrosio would step up from GP2 to partner Timo Glock for 2011. The move means there are now only seven free spots left within the remaining teams, and leaves other drivers fighting to secure a spot on the grid in 2011. D’Ambrosio becomes the first Belgian to compete in a Formula One race since Phillipe Adams finished last in the 1994 Portuguese... 

Hispania Racing: Don’t Be Too Harsh; Remember the Life Team

There has been a lot of criticism this year of the three new teams in Formula 1. Hispania Racing in particular have been the victims of some fairly severe abuse from the media along with the other two new teams, Lotus and Virgin Racing. Some people have said they don’t deserve to be in Formula 1—that they add nothing to the sport and their cars are so far off the pace they are... 

Red Bull Racing: Best Constructor, But Do They Have the Best Driver?

If you’re a Red Bull Racing engineer, crew member or even the person charged with sweeping the shop floor, then you’re probably nursing a pretty big hangover as I write this—maybe even waking up next to a charming Red Bull beauty.  And rightfully so, because that is how the 2010 Formula 1 Constructors’ Champions should celebrate. If you’re Mark Webber or Sebastian...
