From next season the Formula E support bill will feature a new championship for driver-less cars called Roborace.

The plan is for Roborace to form part of the support package of the FIA Formula E Championship, with the first race intended to take place during the 2016-2017 season. Roborace is aimed to take place prior to each Formula E race,…

Maldonado hasn’t shown signs of imporvement and has collected the most penalties so far this season. Thrashed by Grosjsan

20. Will Stevens

Stevens has impressed me and surpassed my expectations by outqualifying Rossi and Merhi. However he hasn’t been so quick in the…[Read more]

I came across this crazy video of a pre-NASCAR stock car racing crash at Langhorne in 1951. It’s a good example of why we should be grateful for pretty much every safety innovation which has been made in the past six decades, not least the Safety Car…

Astonishingly no one was killed although there were quite a few injuries.

Do you know anybody that is involved in the world of F1? If so, please tell us as I and I’m sure many others would be interested to hear about it. For me personally, my father is friends with Tony Ross (race engineer for Nico Rosberg in case you didn’t know).

I was thinking about how we have so many similar tracks now with a long straight and it made me wonder which grand prix has/had the least straights.

Has there ever been a track with no decent straights. Monacco is the obvious candidate but I wondered if anyone can think of a race with less straight sections, especially not on a street circuit?

So it’s a weekend without F1 and I’m a bit bored.

The acquisition of Lotus is only a matter of time (all sources point towards an announcement at Abu Dhabi) and we already know the team will be rebranded Renault as soon as possible after the takeover.

My question is: do you see Renault winning the championship in the next five years?

My take on…[Read more]

Formula E will use a shortened version of the Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez. It includes both ends of the one mile oval including the Peraltada, albeit interrupted by chicanes, and an extended section in the Foro Sol stadium:

Providing it is approved by the FIA World Motor Sport Council next month, the track will host round five of the 2015-16…[Read more]

Having dominated the World Touring Car Championship since arriving last year, Citroen has announced it will axe its programme at the end of next season.

It’s bad news for the WTCC, which has struggled to develop a solid base of manufacturer competitors, and is yet another reminder of how swiftly car makers can pull the plug on their racing…[Read more]

As so many of us, motorsport enthusiasts, may already know, the 2015 Race of Champions is taking place this weekend at the London Olympic Stadium.

For the the first time in the history of the ROC, a kart race was added to the…[Read more]

Here’s a driver line up based on the Driver Database ELO ratings. Obviously, in F1 this would be impacted by car strength, but in the junior levels (mostly spec series) this is less of a distortion.

Hamilton, Vettel, Rosberg, Alonso, Raikkonen, Massa, Vandoorne, Button, Bottas, Ricciardo, Rosenqvist, de Vries, Hulkenberg, Grosjean, Rowland,…[Read more]

The BBC says it needs to save £35 million and expects “the loss of some existing rights and events”. Will F1 be among them?

£35 million will be saved from the BBC’s TV sports rights budget. Meeting this savings target will be tough, particularly given the high levels of inflation in the market. We therefore anticipate this will lead to the los…

Those who are asking for Why couldn’t Lewis Hamilton pass Nico Rosberg and a Rookie Max Vestrappen could pass other cars in ‪#‎BrazilianGP‬ ?
Well here’s the answer by me
Obviously it’s easier to follow a slower car and then overtake the car ahead as after closing in turbulent air will affect but it will be small as you will follow for less laps…[Read more]

Hi,

My husband is an F1 fan whereas I do not know much about the sport (apologies). Long story short but due to a change in our circumstances this year (new baby) my husband wasn’t able to attend the Grand Prix where he usually purchases his team t-shirt from the official store at Silverstone.

I know the season is due to finish shortly but I was…[Read more]

Nico Rosberg may or may not become World Champion in the future, but let’s just say for a second that he doesn’t. Should he go down as the best, or at least one of the best drivers never to win the title? I thought it would be interesting to hear everyone else’s opinions. In his favour are some of his achievements:

– He has the most pole…[Read more]
