These are all the ...Keep reading

Former Haas Formula 1 team principal Guenther Steiner says 2025 champion Lando Norris's crash with his McLaren team-mate during the Singapore Grand Prix sprint race was "not a world champion move".

Chris Lulham Is a ...Keep reading

Max Verstappen's Mercedes-AMG and Valentino Rossi's BMW is very different cars with a different number of turbos and a totally different soundtrack.

Toto Wolff has revealed that a conversation with Alain Prost early in his own Formula 1 career inspired the Mercedes Team Principal in how to deal with fractious relationships between his drivers.

George Russell’s 2026 Singapore Grand Prix was already a certified nightmare on paper. We already knew he had to swallow a massive 60-place engine penalty, fought a brake pedal that decided to go squishy, and spent two hours baking in the cockpit while a ruptured drink bottle leaked mystery fluid all over him.
But thanks to some fresh intel from the German paddock insiders, it turns out his ...Keep reading

If there's one thing we know about modern Formula 1 drivers, it's that they hate losing. It doesn't matter if it's the Monaco Grand Prix, a round of F1 on their sim rigs, or a dirt buggy race against a MotoGP rider - they are going to absolutely send it.
That competitive streak was on full display when Quad Lock decided to reunite McLaren's Oscar Piastri and MotoGP sensation Pedro Acosta for ...Keep reading

Pedro Acosta has responded to comments made by KTM CEO Gottfried Neumeister, who claimed that the Spaniard was joining Ducati due to his desire to beat Marc Marquez on the same machinery.

"It ...Keep reading

At this point in the 2026 season, George Russell is practically on a first-name basis with the FIA stewards. After eating a staggering 60-place grid drop at the Singapore Grand Prix to replace an entire pharmacy of power unit components, you would think the British driver would want to stay as far away from the back of the grid as humanly possible.
Think again.
Mercedes is preparing to bolt ...Keep reading

Christian Horner has accepted that his long-standing rivalry with Formula 1 counterpart Toto Wolff became ‘more like theatre’ - but still assured it was “authentic”.

This was often captured on Netflix hit Drive ...Keep reading

Specifically, JGR is asking the court to allow the trial jury in February to consider an ‘adverse ...Keep reading
