    Formula 1’s Key Talking Points in 2021

    F1 originally intended a major overhaul of its technical regulations in 2021, but instead got thrown a curveball which brings opportunities for some.

    McLaren takes a huge step towards the front

    The Breaking News in the F1 paddock on the morning of Qualifying for the Russian Grand Prix has not been about Ferrari’s dominance since the Summer or in fact anything else on track.

    The Marko Axe falls again – Red Bull and their drivers

    The Marko Axe falls again – Red Bull and their drivers

    After only a few of the races at the beginning of this season, judging by how fiercely ruthless Red Bull Racing have been before with drivers, I fully expected Pierre Gasly to be replaced sooner rather than later. Unfortunately for the Frenchman, the news has been confirmed today. “Alex Albon will replace Pierre Gasly for…

    How Vettel and Ferrari ruined their championship hopes

    How Vettel and Ferrari ruined their championship hopes

    Sebastian Vettel’s long-list of costly spins and mistakes in grands prix are the result of sheer “clumsiness.” That is the view of Sky Sports F1 pundit and commentator, Martin Brundle.

    F1’s Driver Market Unravelled

    F1’s Driver Market Unravelled

    Summer of 2018 has unquestionably been the wildest ‘silly season’ for the Formula One driver market in recent memory. All began by Daniel Ricciardo’s shocking move from the current race win contenders, Red Bull, to the languishing midfield team, Renault, and Fernando Alonso’s rather less shocking decision to retire. Here is the F1 2019 driver…

    F1- Are Red Bull ready for Honda?

    First of all, it has just emerged that Daniel Ricciardo, Red Bull’s star driver with seven wins in the team, has decided not to re-sign his contract with the team.

    Will 2019 F1 regulations improve overtaking?

    Will 2019 F1 regulations improve overtaking?

    There is very strong evidence to suggest that the new 2019 regulations, that were outlined back in May 2018, will help to equalise and remove unnecessary rules that ruin the spectacle of Formula One.
