Daniel Ricciardo had one hell of a tough time at Formula One’s season opener in Melbourne, Australia this past weekend. On his new team debut with Renault and in his home country, he qualified 12th, only to completely destroy his front wing mere seconds after the race had started. This led to an early retirement,…

Believe it or not, Formula One drivers are real people, too. They have heroes and they can get awkward when faced with those heroes, just like the rest of us. Sometimes, it can be comforting to know you’re not the only person out there who brings up absurd subjects at the wrong time—sort of like Lewis Hamilton asking…

Congratulations to everyone who has survived the Formula One off-season! I know what you’re thinking: “Man, I really wish someone told me all the best things to drink during every race this year.” Well, never fear. I, a master mixologist and motorsport expert, have compiled a list of what to drink during every Grand…

This weekend heralds the kick-off of the 2019 Formula One season, and it’s time to get back in the swing of watching beautiful race cars at ungodly hours of the morning! Whether you’re a longtime fan who tunes out of the F1 circus during the off-season or a new fan interested in trying something new, we have you…

Disaster struck nascent international electric motorcycle series MotoE on Wednesday night during the series’ pre-season testing event in Jerez, Spain. Every single Energica Ego Corsa bike was burned in a currently unexplained paddock fire, spelling tragedy for the entire sport.

If you’ve ever caught sight of a Formula One car’s steering wheel, chances are you took one look and went, “what the hell?” There are, approximately, one million buttons and dials that each have a different function and each look intimidating as hell. Mercedes AMG Petronas F1 understands that confusion—and they’ve…

Fisker Automotive, once a luxury plug-in hybrid startup whose sedan had a distinctive face and a little problem with fires, was reborn several years ago under new ownership as Karma Automotive. It has big plans to do what Fisker could not, and now at next month’s Shanghai Motor Show, we’ll see its next move.

If female drivers are uncommon in racing, female team principals are rarer still. Former F1 test driver Susie Wolff—now heading the Venturi team in Formula E—is one of those few team principals. And she’s just secured her first win as team principal, making history in the series.

It seems like Red Bull Racing threatens to leave Formula One at least once a season. When things might not go its way, the team releases a lot of vague threats that they’ll ditch the series. So far, those threats haven’t culminated in anything serious—but Red Bull is back at it again before the 2019 season has even…

When it comes to comparison tools on car purchasing websites, it generally helps to compare your desired car to, well, its competitors. If you’re looking at buying a Toyota Corolla, for example, there’s a better chance that you’d want to see how it compares to a Honda Accord than a Bentley. But on Toyota’s website,…

After experiencing my first winter in a state that actually drops below freezing, I’ve come to appreciate anyone who has the immense skill that it takes to control a car at high speeds on ice. And I’m just sitting here with my jaw-dropped watching this BMW E30 M3 become the fastest car on ice like it was no problem at…

IndyCar tends to get a bad rap in the racing world. Not as elite or as large-scale as F1, not as rooted in American motorsport NASCAR, not as ground-breaking as Formula E, IndyCar is often pegged as something to shrug off—with the exception of the Indy 500. But, friends, IndyCar is an untapped reservoir of incredible…

The car industry is consolidating in the name of technology, EPA standards might prove to be unsustainable, and self-driving cars are falling into chaos as a result of one autonomous technology being utilized across the board. All this and more in The Morning Shift for Thursday, March 7, 2019.

I gotta say, there are some good looking open wheel cars hitting the track around the world this season. Formula One is as classy as ever with its 2019 regulations. IndyCar keeps refining their road course and oval packages. But they’re nothing compared to what Super Formula is racing this year.

It’s been two years since Formula E lost their London ePrix at Battersea Park, the series’ season finale. The rumor mill has been active ever since with speculation of a UK return—now, we’ve finally got confirmation that the series will be back in London. And the circuit—partially indoor with 23 turns—is going to be…

Don’t get confused—the Audi E-Tron and the Audi Q4 E-Tron are two different things. While they’re both electric SUVs, the Q4 is the updated, futuristic version making its appearance today at the Geneva Motor Show. The crossover coupe is just a concept for now, but just wait—two years from now, you’ll be able to get…

Rally is one of the last forms of motorsport left where fans get close to the cars—out past small, regulated spectator areas, there’s usually not much more separating you from a race car than some foliage and maybe a fence. Now the World Rally Championship has had enough. The series thinks image recognition can catch…

Tesla’s short term plans don’t involve making money, Subaru is planning to recall millions of cars, and GM hasn’t paid income taxes in years. All this and more in The Morning Shift for Friday, March 1, 2019.
