Almost 68 years have passed since the inception of Formula 1, and we have witnessed only 32 champions. Some drivers were frequently seen on the podium but never got to win a title. These are the deserving drivers who missed out on being crowned the champion of the Formula 1 Driver’s World Championship. These drivers didn’t lack any skill or talent, but were unlucky. Some of them had fatal crashes, some missed out by a few points, and others were not good enough when it required the most....

The great Ayrton has won here on two occasions, Hakkinen has defeated Schumacher on consecutive drives, and the likes of Vettel and Hamilton, among the modern greats of the grid, have enjoyed famous track tussles here. For a track that first held a race back in 1972, one wonders what might the forty-seventh run at the Autodromo Jose Carlos Pace bring? So what does the 2018 Brazilian Grand Prix have in store for us, especially with the fight to the championship having come to an end, and with the season heading toward the end?...

The two Sauber cars of Marcus Ericsson and Charles Leclerc, along with Romain Grosjean and Pierre Gasly reached Q3 and qualified behind drivers of the top three teams. Lewis Hamilton, meanwhile, snatched his tenth pole of the year and Sebastian Vettel would be filling out the front row with him. A late shower during the second part of qualifying threatened to ruin the laps of everyone trying to improve their position on the time sheets....

Vettel and Ferrari have essentially let this championship slip so far away from them, and unless the Scuderia find a miracle, starting in Japan, it seems unlikely that they will catch the Silver Arrows. With Mercedes also showing that they are not opposed to pulling team orders to allow Hamilton to creep even further ahead in the title race, the sprint to the championship just had another blockade put in for Ferrari....

#5 Sergey Sirotkin (Russia) If I had to explain this like Kimi, Sergey Sirotkin isn’t ready for F1. Sirotkin broke many hearts at the start of the 2018 season when he proved quicker than Robert Kubica in a Williams and postponed his comeback for at least 1 year and after that, he hasn’t done anything significant to prove that he belongs at the grandest stage of Motorsport Racing. He has had a difficult year in the slowest car on the grid this year and to make things worse, he has been comfortably beaten by his teammate Lance Stroll in both Qualifying and the race....

While he may not be among the top three in the current driver standings, it must be noted that Sebastian Vettel, with 82 points, is only 4 ahead of the Red Bull driver. Heading into the 2019 Canadian Grand Prix, Max Verstappen made a candid confession about his journey as an F1 driver. This, it must be reminded, isn’t any ordinary talent. Verstappen, whose personal best at Canada happens to the P3 he garnered last year, touched on the emotional subject of his relationship with his father, Joe Verstappen....

The Australian is no stranger to the topic, having used his platform to increase awareness during his time at Renault as well. Here’s what Daniel Ricciardo had to say about speaking up and how it can be a powerful instrument for someone struggling with mental health issues: The 32-year-old also touched on how mental health issues are often stigmatized and misconstrued by those not in the eye of the storm....

The seven-time world champion posted a photo of himself on Instagram on February 5. It was the Briton’s first post on any social media outlet in 56 days. The caption simply reads: Hamilton had not made a public statement apart from his post-race interview following the controversial end to the 2021 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix. The Mercedes driver did not attend the post-race press conference either. He had stopped following all the handles on his Instagram list in its aftermath....

Speaking during an interview, Grosjean was asked about the test drive that has been rescheduled more than once already. He said: Grosjean then went on to add: The Frenchman had a standing agreement with the team to test the Mercedes W10 at the end of the 2020 season. However, a massive fireball crash at the 2020 Bahrain Grand Prix saw Grosjean leave the sport after a near-death experience. The test drive was penciled in for sometime prior to the 2021 French Grand Prix at Paul Ricard....

World champion Hamilton will be aiming to end a victorious 2017 campaign on a high at Yas Marina Circuit on Sunday, the Mercedes driver having already secured his fourth title, as well as helping the dominant German team to another constructors’ crown. Hamilton’s chief rival, Ferrari’s Sebastian Vettel, remains optimistic of mounting an improved challenge in 2018, when Fernando Alonso will be hoping McLaren’s new partnership with Renault proves to be more productive than its underwhelming Honda relationship....

The FIA said in a statement that it had tested a large number devices over the past five years and it had “become clear that the halo presents the best overall safety performance”. The decision to implement the ‘halo’ comes less than a week after a transparent cockpit ‘shield’ was tested for the first time on track at Silverstone last Friday in British Grand Prix practice. Ferrari’s Sebastian Vettel said the transparent open canopy made him feel dizzy....

The Belgian striker continued his run of good goal-scoring form with a headed goal in the first half from Nemanja Matic’s cross. The latter then turned scorer himself, being the first to land a head onto Ashley Young’s sumptuous free-kick late in the game to seal progress for Jose Mourinho’s side. Here’s a look at the player ratings from the match. Brighton & Hove Albion Tim Krul - 6...

The day before the two teams’ Championship encounter at Elland Road on Friday, police were called to Derby’s training centre after growing concerned with the behaviour of a man outside the premises. Police confirmed a man was found and questioned at the perimeter fence of the complex, before being sent on his way with no arrest made. Media reports claimed the man involved was a “spy” sent by Leeds, also alleging he had damaged a fence, though police insisted the latter was untrue....

German publication Der Spiegel claims to have seen documents from whistleblowers Football Leaks that show City paid Emeka Obasi £200,000 as part of the scouting contract to find players in south and central America. Der Spiegel alleged this payment was actually in relation to Sancho’s move from Watford as a 14-year-old, with the process arranged to circumvent FIFA rules that prevent agent fees being made in transfers involving minors....

The Gunners will fancy their chances of making an impact in the Europa League in the coming months and Arteta is already looking to reinforce his squad. With the prospect of another top-four challenge and the demands of a gruelling, World Cup-interrupted campaign, Arteta has already brought in United States international Matt Turner as back-up in goal, plus highly-rated Brazilian winger Marquinhos. However, the Arsenal boss has now switched his attention to Porto’s Fabio Vieira, as he looks to add a new dimension to Arsenal’s midfield....

Lionhead Studios’ brilliant use of metaphor demonstrates a hero’s rise to glory, and fall to failure, in the world of Albion. We see that heroes can be found in unlike likely places. Fable 3 is the highly anticipated sequel that will have you choosing between rebel, tyrant, or gracious ruler. The cinematic puts us in the kingdom of Albion five years after Fable 2, in the industrial age. Things have changed quite a bit in Albion - for everyone, and the kingdom is still in peril - the kingdom needs a ruler… You....

The warning was received yesterday by “Will they suspend me”—a profile conducting an experiment sharing Trump’s updates verbatim to see how the platform responds. It uses the handle @suspendthepres on Twitter, where the test is also ongoing. The notice forced the deletion of a post that remained untouched on the president’s own page, containing the phrase “when the looting starts, the shooting starts.” It warned that the account would face a 24-hour suspension if it broke the policies again....

In a blog post, Facebook wrote that the proposed law “misunderstands the relationship between our platform and publishers,” and said that it has decided to stop sharing news content in Down Under because of it. The social media company explained that because of this change in policy, Australian publishers won’t be able to share content on Facebook pages. They will, however, retain access to tools such as “Page Insights” and “Creator Studio” and other standard Facebook services, such as CrowdTangle....
