/formula17hMcLaren strike major deal to rival F1One thing about Zak Brown is that he knows how to sell. As for everything else, I don't particularly care for anything else he does. Whether as CEO of the team, or his stupid "Papaya Rules". If anything, I will be rooting for Oscar even harder this year.
/formula18hApple Maps adds detailed F1 experience ahead of 2026 seasonPretty cool if you're in the Apple ecosystem, and you're able to get out to Melbourne. I still think F1 could be great content for the Apple Vision Pro (I chucked mine after 1 week of using the first version and finding no use case for it) But if Apple finds a way to make the
/formula19hBernie Ecclestone: F1 is in danger of losing its fansNew regulations aren't going to be the reason F1 loses fans. F1 and the teams will make sure competitive racing is at the forefront. And I could care less what Bernie thinks. He was someone who refused to have F1 on social media because he "didn't believe in it". Nevermind al
/formula11dJolyon Palmer says not a ‘single aspect’ of Adrian Newey’s 2026 Aston Martin is workingThe narrative that Aston Martin are in deep, deep trouble even before the season starts continues to grow louder with this latest article from Jolyon Palmer going so far as to say there's not a "single aspect" of the 2026 Aston Martin car that is working. Can imagine the team
/formula11dStefano Domenicali: F1 can absorb Lewis Hamilton or Fernando Alonso retirementI generally agree that any sport can handle a superstar leaving. For F1, there are so many more avenues to promote every driver on the grid now. From Netflix's DTS to social media - I think there's more awareness around each of the drivers now. It'll of course hit the driver f
/formula11dVerstappen camp was not behind my Red Bull exit, says Christian HornerThis reads like a whole bunch of "PR speak" right before he tries to make a comeback into the sport. Jos Verstappen was VERY loud about his dissatisfaction with Horner toward the end. And it was clear any relationship he had with Helmut Marko was also gone toward the end of h
/formula12dDrive to Survive Season 8 review: A major missed opportunity with glaring errorsI stopped watching DTS ever since Season 3, when they somehow MADE UP the story of Lando and Carlos "feuding" when nothing could be farther from the truth. While it is great that the series has brought on a lot of new F1 fans (especially in the US)...I don't believe in creatin
/formula12d"F1" movie wins Best Sound at 2026 BAFTAsNot surprised at all as the cinematography and audio were excellent. My issue with the movie was...well...with the storyline itself. Just like Netflix's DTS, if it gets new fans into the sport...great, but I think it was telling when the REAL F1 drivers were asked their op
/formula12dCarlos Sainz FINALLY meets the creator of Sparkles!This is awesome from Williams to bring Carlos' good luck charm from last year to their HQ. The sticker stays...and hoping Williams has a car that can challenge for podiums again.
/formula16dStill one of my favorite Marketing executions for an F1 team (Sound of Honda)This is now over 12 years old, but Honda decided to actually produce a creative "campaign" to celebrate Ayrton Senna. Instead of using stock footage to create a video, the team decided to construct Ayrton's drive at Suzuka from 1989 - using his actual racing telemetry AND sound c
/formula18dOnly Shell, BP fuel homologated ahead of F1 seasonSo...Ferrari & Audi looking good with passing the new fuel testing. Fingers crossed Petronas can get their act together 🤞🏻
/formula18dF1 set to add fan favourite track to 2027 calendarTurkey back on for 2027 👀 Don't mind this at all...as long as long as we never have a track resurfacing & rain like we did in 2020. And then of course, there are other tracks that I want "added back" and others ditched from the schedule. But let's see how the new cars & regs p
/formula19dRed Bull undergoes major staff revamp ahead of 2026 F1 seasonA bit of older from earlier this month, but seems like Mekies has purged the RB organization of more senior marketing & communications executives. Makes sense when Oliver Hughes and Paul Smith were let go last year when they ditched Horner. Both were loyal to Christian, and e
/formula19dIf Mercedes and McLaren fought for the title... 👀I hope Mercedes can come out on top of a customer team this year. McLaren have been incredible, and they deserve all the success - but it is a shot to Mercedes and Toto himself that the team was never able to get on top of the ground effect regulations. Getting excited for th
/formula19dLiam Lawson on the hardest job in Formula 1...Being Max Verstappens team mate!Speaks volumes when Liam is adamant how nice Max was to him while they were teammates. And it is TOUGH to be be racing alongside Max, a generational talent. But for all the talk about Max's personality, I think so much of it is taken from his "younger" years where he would la
/formula19dRed Bull chief designer steps down on eve of F1 seasonInteresting Craig Skinner decided to step down right before the start of the season, but I can imagine how challenging it is to run through an entire F1 season year after year. There's no downtime anymore...even with the Summer Break, 24 races globally is taxing and the team at t
/formula111dRival F1 teams 'pissed off' over Mercedes engine, but it's fully legalSo yes, Williams is a Mercedes engine customer - but I agree F1 should continue to be a sport where clever engineering & design is still allowed. Every team had the specs & regulations for this new era, and Mercedes was able to take advantage of this when designing the engine.
/formula112dF1 testing: Red Bull's advantage 'pretty scary', says George Russell - BBC SportLet's see if this is some pre-season mind games...or if Red Bull really did find a way to come out swinging again this reg cycle. And if Mercedes are able to deliver a strong car, have no doubt Russell can challenge for WDC.
/formula112dMcLaren proposes F1 rule changes over safety concernsHave no doubt these issues will be solved over time, but Melbourne might be quite interesting to watch 👀 The potential issues over the Race Start are a huge concern tho...at least McLaren believe it can be an easy solve as long as teams band together to get the best outcome for
/formula112dF1 2026 car launches: All pictures of new cars as full grid completedWhat are we thinking about the new liveries? I think it's very cool Red Bull switched it from their traditional "matte" finish to a shiny blue now. I think the Cadillac car is going to be VERY hard to see if it's cloudy or raining on track. As for Aston Martin...I have NO idea
/formula113dBin Sulayem, DP World chairman named in Epstein files, has been replacedSultan Ahmed bin Sulayem removed as head of logistics giant DP World. He is the brother of the FIA President Mohammed Ben Sulayem. Guaranteed the PR agencies are working overtime to make sure no F1 journalists are able to ask MBS about his brother and any ties to Jeffrey Epst
/formula113dExcited to see Valterri and Checo back on the F1 gridWe'll see how Cadillac does. I'm sure the team will have its share of challenges in Year 1, but just good to see those 2 back racing. And with the 11th team on the grid...what does the paddock look like at Monaco this year?
/formula113dLance Stroll: Aston Martin is "four seconds off" after tough start to F1 2026 pre-season - Yahoo SportsI really hope this isn't the case as you never can tell what's really happening just from pre-season testing. Have always been an Alonso fan...even more so now now that this year might really be his last. And if it's the Honda engine...I don't know what to say. Alonso x Honda
/formula113dNew F1 rules 'ridiculously complex'Quite something when Sir Lewis is saying the new rules are "complex". At least they were smart enough to change the name for Manual Override Mode (MOM). Hope Sky Sports & F1TV spend some time creating videos that will make it easier for fans to understand the new rules.
