Whether it’s Ferrari’s return to form or the recent controversy at Baku, this year’s F1 season has proven itself unpredictable. The surprises continue heading into this weekend’s British Grand Prix, albeit with an unfortunate one.

After the unpredictability of Azerbaijan a fortnight ago, Austria put on a more mainstream affair as the likely suspects came out on top. The Red Bull Ring was not without its own surprises during the race, however.

As if the events at Baku two weeks ago weren’t enough, this weekend’s qualifying starts off on a similar note. Lewis Hamilton starts eighth, while Sebastian Vettel sits behind Mercedes’ Valterri Bottas.

The saga between Ron Dennis and McLaren seems to finally be coming to an end. In what can be seen as the final nail in the coffin, the former chief executive has sold his shares in McLaren Technology Group and McLaren Automotive.

The 2017 Azerbaijan Grand Prix was arguably Formula One’s most exciting race so far this year. Safety Cars, a red flag, some bad manners and some bad luck all gave way to an unlikely winner. But the story of the race still continues.

Heading into this Formula One weekend, the main narrative was tire trouble, with a continuous lack of grip around the streets of Baku. For today’s Grand Prix, that narrative took a nosedive in exchange for chaos.

The main talking point of this weekend has been the continuous lack of grip around the streets of Baku. Almost all the drivers had an off-track excursion, either in the practice sessions or in qualifying. To put it simply — all one has to do is get round the track as quickly as possible without crashing. Easier said than done.

Formula One’s new owner Liberty Media Group has continued to make its presence felt as the calendar for the 2018 F1 season has been announced months earlier than usual.

Canada once again threw up an enthralling F1 race, with the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve proving a worthy home.

The 2017 season is quickly establishing a reputation for breaking prior track records. This weekend proved no different, following an exciting qualifying session at Circuit Gilles-Villeneuve in Canada.

The most prestigious race of the Formula One calendar was won by Sebastian Vettel, as his team mate and pole sitter Kimi Raikkonen lost out on strategy. But were there some secret team orders at play from Ferrari?

If you took notice of the Practice sessions on Thursday and Saturday, the results of the Monaco F1 qualifying session were almost a foregone conclusion. Almost because most would’ve predicted Sebastian Vettel to take the spoils. However, it was his team mate Kimi Raikkonen who stole the precious pole in the principality.

In a race we’ll remember for a long time, Lewis Hamilton capped off a stellar weekend with a thunderous win in the Pirelli Spanish Grand Prix. The fisticuffs were out as the battle raged on in a spectacular Spanish showdown.

Lewis Hamilton starts on pole for the 64th time in his Formula One career tomorrow as he edged out championship leader Sebastian Vettel in qualifying earlier today.

If you were to suggest that the regulation changes for Formula One this year have been a step backwards for the prospect of wheel-to-wheel action, it’s not likely you’ll hear too many dissenting voices — and the chances are that’ll be because everyone’s still asleep after today’s race.

As it marks its 25th anniversary in Formula One, the Sauber F1 team has announced an unexpected switch to Honda power units for the 2018 season.

An unwanted record stretching back for nine years has fallen following an enthralling qualifying session for the Russian Grand Prix in Sochi.

A meeting of the top teams in Formula 1, known as the F1 Strategy Group, has agreed on a proposal to ban the controversial shark fin and T-wing elements for the 2018 season.

Many moons ago, a headline like that would’ve come as no surprise. Back in the sixties, racing drivers competing across multiple categories was a rather common occurrence. For example, recently deceased motor racing legend John Surtees is the only person in history to have won major championships on both two and four wheels.

Lewis Hamilton controlled from the front as he took the checkered flag at the 2017 Formula 1 Heineken Chinese Grand Prix on an afternoon of mixed conditions and mixed fortunes. Hamilton and his Mercedes team are back to winning ways after converting yesterday’s pole position into a convincing win to set up what looks to be a titanic battle between themselves and Ferrari for the 2017 titles.
