McLaren, one of the most famous names in Formula 1, have history coming out from their side pods. Indeed, more recent times haven’t disappointed either. In a tumultuous last few years we’ve had: Hamilton, Alonso, spying, lying, a final corner championship win, Ron Dennis’ exit, Hamilton’s Dad dressing in the same way all the time, [...]
Ferrari – a team that’s bigger than Formula One itself… or so they’d have you believe. The team has been around since ever and is largely loved by everyone for their relentless passion, style and heritage. It would be impossible to sum up their history in a single preview, so instead here’s a list of [...]
Tyrrell – now that’s a name synonymous with Grand Prix – a name that was around for 30years until during a low point in the team’s otherwise impressive history where BAR came in with some financial muscle and massive promise. BAR did well, at one point Jenson Button finished the championship 3rd behind the all [...]
Another team preview, another tale of ownership changes. Can you lot all just calm down please?
Peter Sauber is back in business. After selling an 80% stake in his eponymous team to BMW in 2005, the Swiss melded seamlessly into the background in an advisory role. However, after BMW’s relatively brief flirtation with running their own [...]
September 2004, Ford could no longer justify its brand involvement in Formula One. With budgets reaching the insane limits of £300m throughout the paddock, its star marque Jaguar was removed immediately and without apology from the glittering world of international motor sport. Enter the Bull.
Yet it wasn’t the Austrian energy drink giant’s first [...]
Williams, they’ve been around forever haven’t they? Well, since 1978 anyway. For some of us, that’s longer than we’ve been alive, so it feels a bit like forever. From the team’s heyday during the eighties and nineties, the last decade really hasn’t been as kind (Ralf Schumacher pitched up, for a start). That said, the [...]
With the Toro Rosso and Force India previews now done, F1 Badger turns its quite considerable attention to the Renault team. Allons-y!
Much has changed in the Renault team over the last season. A quick rundown includes the departure of Nelson Piquet and his replacement by the possibly even more disappointing Roman Grosjean, the subsequent ‘crashgate’ [...]
Badger was fortunate enough to be invited by Tony Fernandes to the launch of the new Lotus F1 car and it was probably the grandest of the launches so far with not only the usual media, but also racing drivers past and present and other famous faces turning up for the event. London’s Royal Horticultural [...]
It’s a name that’s full of history and is as prestigious as Ferrari (in a sense at least) – and more importantly, it’s back in Formula One, albeit the badge on a team funded by Malaysia, we’re not complaining, it looks pretty and it’s great to have the name back in Grand Prix.
Let’s hope team [...]
What makes this particular circumstance so incredulous is not just that BMW left, but that they had completed advanced works on their 2010 challenger. Ridiculous, and all in the name of cost cutting!
