McLaren might not be all the way back to the top of Formula One, but last week’s 1-2 finish in the Italian Grand Prix at Monza showed that the Zak Brown-led program is working its way there. Daniel Ricciardo and Lando Norris took the top two positions on the podium, giving the Woking organization its first grand prix victory since the Jenson Button-Lewis Hamilton pairing in 2012. Now two-thirds of the way through the 2021 season, McLaren is a solid third...
A Formula One legend will step aside at the end of this season, and Hall of Fame Collection is taking this opportunity to honor Kimi Raikkonen, the 2007 World Champion. From scoring his maiden victory in the Malaysian Grand Prix in 2003, Raikkonen has been an interesting figure in grand prix racing as he has moved from team to team in two different stints in the sport. Raikkonen won the first of his 21 races in the West McLaren Mercedes, netting seven...
Very quickly, this Formula One season is shaping up to be a changing of the championship guard, with Red Bull inching closer to dethroning Mercedes, which has won the past seven constructors titles. Sunday’s Red Bull domination of the Austrian Grand Prix came from Max Verstappen, who for the first time in his career won the pole, led start to finish and secured the fastest lap of the grand prix at the Red Bull Ring. He has now led 142 consecutive...
The Caesars Palace Grand Prix was short-lived both in Formula One and CART, but the popular Las Vegas event left a lasting impression not only on those who attended but the 1981 World Championship in particular. Williams’ Carlos Reutemann entered the season-ending event with a single-point lead over Brabham’s Nelson Piquet, and Reutemann won the pole for the 75-lap race. It seemed he was poised to win what would be his first and only series championship. But Reutemann got a bad start...

Collectors know his helmets are highly sought after and are usually snapped up immediately. Raikkonen has had some of the coolest helmet designs, and these three helmets are consistent with that. The Bell HP7 used by Raikkonen in two events in the...
As Fernando Alonso recently made his third attempt to complete the Triple Crown of motorsports — victories in the Indianapolis 500, Monaco Grand Prix and 24 Hours of Le Mans — he realized it might be his last for quite a while now that he has signed with Renault for the next two Formula One seasons. That’s because conflicting series schedules will keep him from making another oval run at Indianapolis Motor Speedway at least until 2023, and it’s anyone’s guess...
