Here’s the points chart for the recently concluded Formula One season, total points plotted against Grands Prix. If you’ll ignore the uncanny performance of a certain blond German kid, it was a pretty close fight…for second place. More »

The homecoming for Germany’s new world champion, joined by five other Germans in the splendid freezing German summer at the Nürburgring, against a depressed and disillusioned McLaren. What could possibly have gone wrong for Red Bull at the season’s halfway point? Then again, motor racing has a way of being about as capricious as the weather in the Eifel Mountains. Warning: spoilers. More »

Under rule changes as capricious as the British weather, Formula One returned to its first-ever venue. Silverstone may be new in layout, but it is also very old, and you still need only three words to describe it: fast, fast, fast. Warning: spoilers. More »

After a winter off-season extended by the cancellation of the Bahrain Grand Prix, Formula One finally returned on a windy autumn afternoon in Melbourne. Four months without a Grand Prix, it would have been a fun race even if it weren’t fun. But it was fun. Warning: spoilers. More »

Ferrari's F1 ace Felipe Massa's got more than quick reactions and steely resolve. He has "special underwear." And according to CNN, his superstitious ways keep him from washing them as regularly as a normal human person. More »

There are two lessons here: One, looking through the corner is important. Two, there's nothing like a helmet cam to make in-car footage more interesting. It's bumpy. It's choppy. It's wet. His head gets knocked around. Manly! More »

We got to catch a bit a of tonight's this morning's Friday practice for the Singapore Grand Prix, and we've got to say that the track looks absolutely fantastic. Check out the gallery below for yourself, but from what we could see it feels like some fantasy street circuit straight out of a video game. The track's lighting system is working well too, with nobody resorting to headlights. Everyone was pushing pretty hard, but Fernando Alonso, Lewis Hamilton, and Felipe Massa have been the fastest so far. Of course, you can't assume too much from the practice sessions, as everyone is fiddling with their car's settings. Nonetheless, things are shaping up for a spectacular night race on Sunday. More »

We watched the first part of the Turkish Grand Prix this morning and after the first corner featured some serious car over car accident action and the Ferrari/Mercedes slap fest, we got a little bored and sought out better things to do with our Sunday. Our mistake. We missed the Bruno Senna stray dog destruction derby. Yep, Fido (do wild dogs have names?) and a friend wandered onto the track. Fido's friend escaped but Fido wasn't so lucky, and ended up being struck by Senna's right suspension. Both the suspension and the dog found their end. Yeah, Felipe Massa may have won the race, but we definitely know who lost. Poor, poor Fido. This video is not safe for members of the ASPCA, small children or anyone else with a strong dislike for seeing dogs accidentally run over on a track. [Eurosport and Youtube] More »

A wise man once said, celebrity endorsements are the life's blood of useless crap. Of course, whoever that man is, he's looking somewhat less wise today. Despite Ferrari driver Felipe Massa's recent acceptance of a celeb-tuned Fiat 500 in Monte Carlo, all signs indicate it's a pretty damn nice car that'll likely help sustain Fiat's march toward corporate health. Massa's personal swag gets a special 1.4-liter four tweaked by tuned by Fiat Powertrain Racing to produce 120 hp (instead of the base 100), and comes with his signature embossed in the sill scuff plate. No word on limited-edition model based on this, though Fiat's massive accessorization program means Eurowide buyers can go nuts with the add-ons. Still, those looking for more horsepower will likely opt for Abarth-tuned models. More »
