The Australian pitted on Lap 8 for a new set of tyres and was released even if the right rear wheel was not correctly fitted. The wheel came off and struck an FOM cameraman from the pit lane. “Unfortunately, in Mark’s stop obviously we need to understand fully what happened, why the wheel hasn’t located. […]

Castles, forests, an abandoned rollercoaster and a fearsome circuit nearby. It must be the German Grand Prix

Red Bull's Adrian Newey has urged the FIA to take action after a series of tyre failures that blighted the British Grand Prix. Race leader Lewis Hamilton suffered a failure early on, while Felipe Massa, Sergio Perez, Esteban Gutierrez and Jean-Eric Vergne were all hindered by Pirelli failures.

Looking back at some of the most memorable F1 moments at Silverstone

McLaren young driver Stoffel Vandoorne dominated proceedings as he stormed to two victories in Formula Renault 3.5's visit to Moscow.

Championship leader Kevin Magnussen could manage only eleventh and thus saw his advantage over Vandoorne slashed to just four points. The race was marred by a heavy accident for Lucas Foresti, who […]

Kimi Raikkonen and Daniel Ricciardo have been handed two place grid penalties for the Canadian Grand Prix. The stewards deemed that they did not line up correctly at the pit exit when Q2 restarted following its suspension due to Felipe Massa's accident. Other drivers were investigated for the transgression, but the stewards deemed that only Raikkonen and Ricciardo did not start from the 'fast lane'.

Hulkenberg says the red flag, brought out […]

Mark Webber set the fastest time during final practice for the Canadian Grand Prix. The 60 minute session was shortened to 30 minutes following barrier repairs due to a heavy accident in a support race. The session eventually got under way in damp conditions, with Williams's Valtteri Bottas leading the way. Sauber's Esteban Gutierrez stole top spot but the circuit dried sufficiently for drivers to use slick tyres for the final five minutes of the session. The rapid rate of the drying circuit meant that […]

Mark Webber and Valtteri Bottas have been reprimanded for failing to 'make a significant reduction in speed while double waved yellow flags were displayed in Turn 3' during practice for the Canadian Grand Prix.

Several drivers improved their times due to drying track conditions, although only Webber and Bottas were deemed to have transgressed as the recovery of the Williams took place. Once a driver receives […]
