Race Recap: 2014 Singapore Grand Prix is back-to-front

Filed under: Motorsports , Infiniti , Mercedes-Benz , Ferrari , Racing , McLaren To paraphrase Guy Fawkes V for Vendetta , ‘Remember, remember the twenty-first of September.’ That’s the day the 2014 Formula One Championship took another big turn – and at one of the year’s least interesting races, traditionally – putting Lewis Hamilton back at the top of the standings. Not only that, it did so by borrowing the template from the British Grand Prix this year: put Hamilton in front, retire Nico Rosberg

Haas pens partnership with Ferrari

Filed under: Motorsports , Ferrari Gene Haas is undertaking quite the initiative by starting his own Formula One team instead of simply buying an existing one. And he’s making it even harder on himself by laudably insisting on quartering the operation at his home base in North Carolina. But to get onto the grid by 2016, he’s going to need some help.

Raikkonen likely to retire from F1 after 2015 [w/poll]

Filed under: Motorsports , Hirings/Firings/Layoffs , Ferrari Though his irreverent demeanor party-goer image might suggest otherwise, make no mistake about it: at 34 years old (and with 37-year-old Mark Webber out of the race), Kimi Raikkonen is the oldest driver in Formula One . He’s three months older than Jenson Button , a good year older than his former wingman Felipe Massa , three years ahead of Adrian Sutil and a good decade beyond the latest crop of up-and-comers on the grid. So it’s only natural that we should start wondering how much longer he’ll stick around, and now we may have our answer.

F1 teams to test titanium skid plates to reignite spark in series

Filed under: Motorsports , Mercedes-Benz , Ferrari , Racing The 2014 Formula One season opened with one overwhelming complaint – the cars didn’t sound right. It sapped the excitement, despite the fact that this season has seen a number of truly thrilling races ( Bahrain , Spain and Montreal all come to mind). Attempts have been made to restore some of the audible thrill of the cars, although efforts have remained unsuccessful.

James Glickenhaus teases sleek SCG 003 supercar

The P4/5 is what resulted, and Ferrari gave its blessing for it to wear the Prancing Horse emblem – something it hadn’t done for a coachbuilt custom in decades. A slew of rebodied Ferraris followed, prompting the factory to launch its own coachbuilding division

2014 Ferrari FF

Filed under: Performance , Hatchback , Ferrari , Luxury , Quick Spins Ferrari announced a panoramic roof option for its all-wheel drive FF at the 2012 Paris Motor Show , promising the new full-length glass panel would offer its well-heeled clientele “a genuine open-air driving feeling, while providing thermal and acoustic insulation.” That statement was intriguing, as my experience with glass roofs usually ends abruptly after I close the opaque shade – as a Southern Californian, I always find tinted glass panels too hot during the day and too cold at night. While the FF I reviewed in August was fitted with a solid aluminum roof, I was fortunate to catch up with a brand-new silver Ferrari FF (it only had about 160 miles on the odometer) with the optional panoramic roof (a $17,666 upgrade) at the Formula One race at Circuit of the Americas just last month. It was my lucky day, as I was about to spend about six hours with the four-place Italian, blissfully enjoying it during the warm day until long after the sun had set on the Texas horizon
