The drivers left standing in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Chase will leave it all on the track in the desert Sunday.

Haas’ Esteban Gutierrez Is Talking His Way out of Formula 1 at End of 2016

More power to Haas for doing things differently upon their entry to Formula One in 2016. On course to finish eighth in the constructors' championship with 29 points, the team have proved their unique approach to motor racing can succeed—purchasing as many parts as possible from Ferrari and fitting them to a chassis designed by Dallara. Sure, teething troubles have developed and their competitiveness has inevitably waned as their debut season has progressed, but the newcomers have generally achieved their aim of looking like seasoned professionals. And what's more, Haas appear to have taken the sport to a wider audience and, in their own way, helped tackle two of the most feared words in the F1 dictionary: "fan" and "eng...

Brazilian F1 Grand Prix 2016 Qualifying: Results, Times from Friday’s Practice

Lewis Hamilton geared up for Sunday's Formula One Brazilian Grand Prix precisely as hoped after storming into an early lead during Friday's first practice session, where he finished fastest with a lap time of one minute, 11.895 seconds. Mercedes team-mate Nico Rosberg will secure the 2016 Formula One world championship this weekend as long as he wins at the Autodromo Jose Carlos Pace in Sao Paulo on Sunday, but Hamilton is still putting up a fight. Rosberg finished a little more than two-tenths of a second behind Hamilton, good enough for the third-fastest time in Friday's opening session, while Red Bull's Max Verstappen took second with a time of 1:11.991.

MotoGP Grand Prix of Valencia 2016: Key Battles, Predictions and Track Breakdown

The Valencia Grand Prix on November 13 marks the final race of the 2016 MotoGP season, and although Marc Marquez has already wrapped up the championship, this should be an exciting finale to an unpredictable year. Andrea Dovizioso of the Ducati team became the ninth winner of 2016 at the Malaysian MotoGP, setting a new all-time record. Given that Jorge Lorenzo, Marquez and Valentino Rossi shared the first seven victories of 2016 before this incredible sequence of outsider winners, a 10th victor is not off the cards. A number of drivers will be hoping to put on a good performance before switching teams for the 2017 season, and after Dovizioso’s shock win, it appears that anything is possible.   Key Battles Marquez vs. Lorenzo Mar...

Formula 1’s Latest Rumours, Talk: Jolyon Palmer, Kevin Magnussen to Haas, More

Behind the wheel of a slow, unpredictable and at times evil car, Jolyon Palmer has endured a difficult debut season in Formula One in 2016. Renault's understandable focus on the future has almost made the team forget the present, with Palmer and team-mate Kevin Magnussen effectively weaponless, making up the numbers toward the rear of the field. But the British driver will have the opportunity to prove his true worth in 2017, having been awarded a contract extension. After recovering well from a shaky start to the season, Palmer will argue he is fully deserving of a new deal, but it would be slightly more accurate to suggest he secured Renault's second seat by default. After missing out on their main targets, it was thought the race to part...
