Badger’s driver preview continues with a number of familiar faces alongside Petrov and Hulkenberg…
Toro Rosso
Sebastien Buemi (Toro Rosso, 16th): Buemi is still only 21. This means he’s got youth on his side, as you’d expect from a Toro Rosso driver. Last season was his first in F1, picking up six points in total through four [...]
Before the season kicks off, here at F1 Badger we thought the time was right to have a look at this year’s driver line ups. Part one contains the new boys and some old favourites…
Hispania Racing (HRT F1)
Bruno Senna (Newcomer): Coming with such a famous surname, expectations of Bruno will be high. He stopped racing [...]
The final piece of F1 2010’s driver jigsaw has finally slotted in to place, with HRT F1 (the team formerly known as Campos Meta) confirming the identity of Bruno Senna’s new teammate. Ladies and gentlemen, may we present to you Mr. Karun Chandhok. Not yet heard of him? Well then why not read on…
Chandhok will be [...]
It’s a little known fact that the Virgin Racing number one, Timo Glock is referred to as “Glockdog” – he even has it on his helmet, which for Bahrain is going to be a special golden one.
Here at Badger we were thrilled last season when, during the disappointing Malaysian GP when it rained loads and [...]
Today is Saint David’s day, Wales’ celebration of their patron saint, so Badger is casting an eye back in to motor racing’s days of yore and taking a look at the greatest Welshman to grace the world of Formula One.
Unlike the other British nations Wales has never had a Grand Prix success story. England can [...]
Happy Birthday to Mario Andretti, 1978 F1 World Champion, who’s 70 today! Mario was born in Montana, Italy on 28th February 1940. He later emigrated to America with his family in 1955, and raced pretty much everything -dirt track cars, stock cars, midgets, dragsters, sprint cars, sports cars, IndyCars, and eventually Formula 1 cars in [...]
Following yesterday’s look at McLaren, Ferrari, Mercedes and the Red Bull teams, today we complete our rundown of F1’s test drivers by checking out the second half of the grid. As we move down the pitlane the test drivers credentials get noticeably less impressive, while the money they’re bringing to their team increases. Funny that.
That’s [...]
You’ll see them on the pit-wall at the grands prix, at the launch of the new car and occasionally doing a bit of straight-line testing on a damp afternoon at Silverstone. These are Formula One’s test drivers.
The thing is, they don’t really do all that much testing any more. With the testing ban in place [...]
For quite some time now, Badger has suspected that Fernando Alonso is literally obsessed with chicken. Whilst commentating on one of his laps, he just randomly started talking about chickens over and over. If you don’t believe us, chick-out this video…
So when he was interviewed for Ferrari.com this week, he simply couldn’t resist talking about [...]
It has been announced today that Mr Reliable Nick Heidfeld will take up the position as Mercedes Reserve Driver for 2010.
