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

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.

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.

Filed under: Motorsports , Mercedes-Benz , Ferrari , Racing The 2014 Formula One season opened with one overwhelming complaint – the cars didn’t sound right.

Filed under: Motorsports , Ferrari , Racing Ferrari CEO Luca di Montezemolo said of the 2014 Formula One season, “It’s time to win.” This is the chassis that’s meant to do it, and it is also Exhibit C in this wild, function-over-form F1 pre-season: the Ferrari F14 T. The low, trunk-like snout is another imagining of the year’s regulations, after the probing proboscides found on the McLaren and in the image of the coming Williams . The public name of the chassis internally called 665 was chosen by Ferrari’s social media fans, F14 T referring to the brand, the year and the turbocharged powerplant, not the McDonnell-Douglas F14 Tomcat.

Filed under: Motorsports , Europe , Infiniti , Mercedes-Benz , Ferrari , Racing , McLaren Just like at Silverstone last weekend , the German Formula One Grand Prix started with Lewis Hamilton putting his Mercedes-AMG Petronas on pole. The only thing missing at the pointy end of the grid was his teammate Nico Rosberg , who lined up beside him in England but back in 11th in Germany because of a team error in qualifying.

Filed under: Motorsports , Europe , Infiniti , Lotus , Mercedes-Benz , Ferrari , McLaren This year’s Formula One season might qualify as being just as crazy as last year’s, only it’s a different kind of crazy. Instead of a new winner every Sunday, how the winner actually manages to take the victory is the mystery, and just when we thought the season might have settled into a groove regarding team performance, here comes the Spanish Grand Prix to remind us that we don’t know anything until the race has been run. There were many similarities to past weekends to being this one: Mercedes -AMG Petronas showed awesome one-lap pace, Fernando Alonso did well enough in qualifying to get fifth on the grid but talked up the race pace of the Ferrari , Kimi R
Filed under: Motorsports , Infiniti , Lotus , Ferrari , Australia , Racing A pre-season full of talking points was swapped for a brand-new set of talking points after the running of the opening grand prix of the 2013 Formula One season. The consistency of the regulations from last year to this year and the triplicate dominance of Infiniti Red Bull Racing meant that no one would have been that surprised if the relative order of things remained the same. But teams found so many ways to switch things up that, in typical pre-season fashion, no one was ready to make any bets on in-season performance, and a couple of surprising players suffered the ignominy of getting it really wrong: McLaren knew it was in trouble from the very first test, while Williams drivers applauded their car as the best in years, only to have Pastor Maldonado call it “undriveable” on the very first day of practice in Melbourne
