He wouldn’t be able to drink that champagne had he won at the United States Grand Prix. Yes, it’s happened—Max Verstappen, the 18-year old who made his controversial Formula 1 debut last year and who was racing karts just three years ago, has won the 2016 Spanish Grand Prix in Barcelona, becoming the youngest Grand…
Boring or not, there’s no prettier race than the Monaco Grand Prix Photo: /u/radiomath I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: Monaco races are almost always boring. Yes, it’s the most prestigious Grand Prix on the calendar, but that’s the only reason people go to Monaco at all; for the glamour, the heritage,…
Mercedes teammates Lewis Hamilton and Nico Rosberg at the 2015 Monaco Grand Prix The Monaco Grand Prix is the most prestigious race in the Formula 1 calendar and indeed one of the most renowned racing events in the world. Yet for all its glamour, heritage, and money, the Monaco Grand Prix is persistently one of…
Photo: Joseph Petrassi Last week, I mentioned that Lewis Hamilton might explode if he lost the 2016 British Grand Prix to Nico Rosberg. I should add that I never really believed he would finish anywhere but at the top of the podium short of a mechanical issue preventing it from happening, as the Brit is…
Nothing like champagne to mix with the sweat after a race. There will be no easy way to summarize this Grand Prix. The weekend was not punctuated but rather flooded by episodes of heavy rain, marked by important safety car periods, and highlighted by excellent driving all around. The race itself was as chaotic as…

The Italian and Singapore Grand Prix were both good events from a racing perspective, but if you care about narrative, they were even better. There was relatively little of the wheel-to-wheel action that we hope to see between the top drivers, though it wasn’t nonexistent either; however, the results were titillating, especially given how quickly…
The F1 track at the Spanish Grand Prix We’ll start with a disclaimer: Formula 1 has a long and rich history, full of heritage and drama and danger and cutting-edge technology and men with enormous legacies. So when we titled this article “A Brief Look into the History of Formula 1,” we really meant a…
The upcoming Formula 1 season is almost upon us. Here’s what you should know about the 2024 F1 calendar, teams, drivers, and regulation changes. F1 car development can take a long time. Many teams began working on their 2024 designs just about as soon as the 2023 season kicked off. After a relatively brief winter,…
Max Verstappen racing at the 2015 Malaysian Grand Prix Photo: Morio If you’ve read a few of my F1 Series Recap blogs, you’ll probably have noticed that I tend to mention a Max Verstappen overtake in nearly every single one of them. That’s because the rookie is possibly the most exciting driver on the grid….
Attending the Indy 500 was an exciting but exhausting experience. My fiancée and I knew traffic would be unlike anything we’d seen before, so we resolved to get to the Indianapolis Motor Speedway early—ideally, not much longer after the gates opened at 6 AM. Because we live in Ohio, that meant staying at a hotel…
