The weather forecast for this weekend’s 2012 Formula One Indian Grand Prix is for sunny skies and an ideal peak temperature of 82 degrees F (28 degrees C). The only issue is that pollution from nearby New Delhi can reach the Buddh International Circuit, but not to the extent that it can...

Today, Formula One cars are powered by naturally-aspirated, 2.4-liter V-8 engines, made by either Renault, Mercedes-Benz, Ferrari or Cosworth. That changes for 2014, as the new regulations call for turbocharged V-6 engines, not to exceed 1.6-liters in displacement. Although the 2014 Formula One...

For months there have been rumblings that the 2013 Grand Prix of America, set to run on June 16 in Weehawken, NJ, would be postponed until 2014. While a specific reason wasn’t cited, F1 czar Bernie Ecclestone repeatedly referred to “contractual issues” for the delay. Now it looks...

In recent weeks, it seems like the Cosworth name seems to be everywhere. For SEMA 2012 alone, the storied British tuner is collaborating on variants of the Ford Focus ST, the Hyundai Veloster Turbo and the Hyundai Genesis. It’s involved in Formula One, too, providing engines to also-ran teams...

Porsche has taken overall victory at the 24 Hours of Le Mans some 16 times, including a winning streak with the 936, 956 and 962C that lasted from 1981 through 1987. The last time the Stuttgart automaker stood atop the podium was in 1998, and since 2007 only Audi and Peugeot have sponsored...

Felipe Massa could well paraphrase the words of Mark Twain with the statement, “the rumors of my departure from Scuderia Ferrari have been greatly exaggerated.” Ending what seems like months of speculation, Ferrari’s F1 team has just announced the re-signing of Felipe Massa for...

Honda’s involvement in the sport of Formula One racing began back in 1964, when the fledgling automaker constructed its first Formula One car. In 1965, the Japanese automaker won its first F1 race, a feat it would repeat just once before the death of driver Jo Schlesser caused the company to...

Last July, Marussia F1 test driver Maria De Villota was seriously injured during straight-line testing of the team’s current formula one car. Upon returning to the pit area, De Villota’s car seemed to suddenly accelerate, impacting the rear of the team’s support truck. The...

After last week’s announcement that Lewis Hamilton was moving to the Mercedes AMG Petronas team to partner with Nico Rosberg, it was clear that Michael Schumacher’s future plans didn’t involve racing F1 cars for Mercedes. Today, Schumacher has made it official, announcing his...

In an event that could make sense only in the world of an F1 anti-drunk-driving event sponsored by Johnnie Walker, McLaren F1 driver Lewis Hamilton has piloted an MP4-12C in an effort to create the "most powerful signature" ever on the tarmac in Singapore. While we'd argue for John Hancock's...
