Much like every other facet of the company, mystery Haas Formula One energy-drink sponsor Rich Energy’s official Twitter account has a lot going on—most of it resulting in more wide-eyed head tilts than anything else. It can be a real trip.Read more… Continue Reading at https://jalopnik.com
The Canadian Grand Prix on Sunday began as a welcome break from the norm in Formula One, with a car finally giving Mercedes, which has won every race this year, a real challenge—a beatdown, even. But the race ended with Mercedes on top yet again, by virtue of a penalty dealt to the team that […]
Porsche stands as one of the winningest producers of Formula 1 engines in the history of the sport from its TAG-branded McLaren days, but also one of the most secretive. In the 1990s, a failed V10 program was stashed away, re-engineered for a Le Mans challenge that was also…Read more… Continue Reading at https://jalopnik.com
Milestones are often joyous occasions, for those able to suppress the existential dread about getting older and closer to death with each milestone they pass. But Formula One driver Kimi Raikkonen doesn’t want your arbitrary milestones, nor does he want any of the silly celebrations you’ve planned for him.

Silverstone has been home to the British Grand Prix for most of the race’s history, meaning there are over 30 year’s worth of games that let you drive around it. So Chris Rae had the brilliant idea of doing just that, driving one lap around the circuit in eight different games, the first released in […]
British racer Jamie Chadwick—a sports-car and single-seater driver who’s a race winner in British Formula 3, a champion in the British GT GT4 division, and, most recently, leads the points in the women-only W Series championship—just took on a new role: development driver for the Williams Formula One team.Read more… Continue Reading at https://jalopnik.com
Given that the two Mercedes Formula One teammates have finished first and second in all five races so far this year, the thought might have crossed your mind to sleep in—or take a daytime nap during, depending on where you live—a race or two. But cool it, because even Mercedes F1 boss Toto Wolff doesn’t […]
The Formula One Dutch Grand Prix is back next year for the first time in more than three decades, at the same track it last ran at in 1985—Circuit Zandvoort, along the Netherlands’ North Sea coast. But nice scenery and triumphant return to a historic track aside, some drivers think it’ll be rather uneventful to […]
Rich Energy, the mystery sponsor of the Haas Formula One Team that only gets more mysterious with further research, became the subject of a recent copyright claim when British company Whyte Bikes noticed their logos looked oddly similar. In a scathing judgement this month, Rich Energy lost the case.Read more… Continue Reading at https://jalopnik.com
For the first time in more than three decades, Formula One will host a Dutch Grand Prix next year. The race track that will get the honors is the one that last hosted the race all of those years ago, the Zandvoort in the Netherlands—after some upgrades to meet modern FIA track standards, that is.Read more… […]
Recently, Ferrari Formula One driver and four-time champion Sebastian Vettel made a bold claim, sending shockwaves through an unsuspecting community: That the Mercedes F1 team’s dominance is “boring.” Vettel also happens to be one of the few people who could do anything about that, yet here we are.Read more… Continue Reading at https://jalopnik.com

Formula One resorted to the Drag Reduction System in 2011 in order to facilitate more passes per race. Personally, I’m not a fan of the system, as it feels like an artificial advantage to the following car. While it has demonstrably increased passing, it allows racers to work up to within one second of the […]
When it comes to the racing, there are a lot of things one could say Formula One needs—more vehicles capable of winning a race without everyone else breaking down or vanishing into thin air, less predictability, closer racing, and, of course, more passing. The good news is, the folks at F1 think that last one […]
With the conclusion of IndyCar’s first trip to Circuit of The Americas in Austin, it’s only natural to wonder how the series compares to open-wheel racing’s international giant, Formula One, which also races there. It isn’t logical or scientific, but it’s hard not to have a strange curiosity.Read more… Continue Reading at https://jalopnik.com
Daniel Ricciardo didn’t make it to the finish of the Australian Grand Prix this year, but he did make it to the first corner, which is something of an achievement given that his front wing exploded.Read more… Continue Reading at https://jalopnik.com
If you truly enjoyed the 2018 season of Formula One, you’re in luck, because 2019 started with more of the same. Mercedes is fast, but even faster this time. Ferrari is still screwing up a decent race with pants calls from the pit wall. Red Bull is happy to salvage a podium with Honda engines.Read […]
This weekend heralds the kick-off of the 2019 Formula One season, and it’s time to get back in the swing of watching beautiful race cars at ungodly hours of the morning! Whether you’re a longtime fan who tunes out of the F1 circus during the off-season or a new fan interested in trying something new, […]
Formula One won’t just look different in team names and aerodynamic rules this year, although we’ve had time to accept those changes by now. It may also look different in terms of points, because reports are that for the first time in decades, F1 is set to reward the driver with the fastest lap in […]
When the new Formula One season begins in Australia next weekend, the cars will be a lot simpler, aerodynamically, than they were last year. But simpler aero doesn’t mean simpler everything, because it may force teams to double their already huge supply of replacement front wings each race weekend.Read more… Continue Reading at https://jalopnik.com
