Stepping up to drive in a Formula 1 session for the first time is a nerve-wracking experience and occasionally the talent that’s clear to see in junior series goes out the window when racing on the same track as some of the greatest drivers in the history of motorsport. The lack of rookies on the grid this season has added further emphasis to the Free Practice 1 sessions that take place at each Grand Prix. It’s one of the only opportunities each team has to run their reserve and test drivers in this year’s cars with a ban on testing any 2023 and 2024 F1 cars away from race weekends. Liam Lawso...

Adrian Newey might be leaving Red Bull in 2025, but that doesn’t mean he’s stopped working hard behind the scenes. The genius designer has stepped away from Red Bull’s Formula 1 program but at the Goodwood Festival of Speed, Adrian Newey unveiled his latest project. The RB17 hypercar looks mightily impressive and is another example of what Newey can do. However, he’s also going to be thinking about his next steps in F1 with his time at the Austrian manufacturer quickly ticking down. Many of Red Bull’s rivals have made attempts to try and sign Newey. His importance will only be exaggerated goin...

Aston Martin has failed to deliver on the promise it showed in 2023 after Fernando Alonso achieved eight podiums. The team looked like it had turned a corner following a tough 2022 season with Alonso achieving the most podiums of any non-Red Bull driver. The AMR24 was supposed to build on that momentum, but so far Alonso and teammate Lance Stroll have only scored 68 points between them. Technical director Tom McCullough admitted the team has taken away performance with its latest upgrades and now the team has been left playing catch up to Mercedes, McLaren, and Ferrari as they win races and co...

Like so many drivers who reach the pinnacle of Formula 1, Max Verstappen’s rise hasn’t been short of controversy. Max Verstappen is now a triple-world champion but needed one of the most controversial moments in the sport’s history to grapple away an eighth title from Lewis Hamilton in Abu Dhabi in 2021. Since that victory, Verstappen has had a much more comfortable time at the front of the grid and after securing titles number two and three in 2022 and 2023, he’s well on his way to earning a fourth championship this year. Verstappen’s path to Formula 1 was rapid and the sport introduced a rul...

Red Bull started the season where it left off in 2023 by winning the first four races by healthy margins, but at the last few Grands Prix that has been slashed significantly. Max Verstappen has been under threat twice from Lando Norris and McLaren at both the Spanish and Austrian Grands Prix, with the pair colliding at the latter causing Verstappen to lose a race win at Red Bull’s home circuit. At the recent weekend at Silverstone, Red Bull suffered another defeat when it failed to get on top of the wet conditions leading to mistakes by both Verstappen and teammate Sergio Perez during qualifyi...

Zhou Guanyu is one of a handful of Formula 1 drivers who are in danger of losing their place on the grid next season. Sauber have already signed Nico Hulkenberg making it less likely that Zhou Guanyu or teammate Valtteri Bottas retain their seats for 2025. Unsurprisingly, that means that both drivers are exploring their options with time running out to secure their Formula 1 future. Bottas appears to be the favourite to sign for Williams with Logan Sargeant’s chances of staying on the grid dwindling. Sauber have ended talks with two drivers for 2025 which might give Zhou a glimmer of hope that...

The Hungaroring has gone through a couple of changes since Formula 1 last visited the track 12 months ago. The circuit located just outside of Budapest has a contract to host F1 races until 2027 and recently outlined plans to update its facilities as part of its agreement that could see it extend its contract until 2032. Organisers plan to improve the size of the garages and width of the paddock, alongside building a new main entrance, race control tower, and a 10,000-seater grandstand. The track has the second longest continuous and unbroken streak of any venue on the F1 calendar after Monza ...

Ferrari driver Charles Leclerc will be delighted to have seen the back of the first Formula 1 triple header of the season. Charles Leclerc went into the three European races still enjoying the confidence gained from winning his home race in Monaco although questioning how Ferrari got things so wrong in Canada. The 26-year-old would have hoped to emulate the heroics he performed in the principality in Spain, Austria and Great Britain but instead endured another three rounds of disappointment. Leclerc fell behind Lando Norris in the Drivers’ Championship and the gap to leader Max Verstappen is n...

Charles Leclerc has endured a tough spell of races since his victory at the Monaco Grand Prix, having recently failed to score points at Silverstone. The British GP was another race affected by wet weather. Leclerc was left trundling at the back of the grid following a strategic mistake in switching to the Intermediate tyres too early, while teammate Carlos Sainz got the call spot on enabling him to finish fifth while Leclerc was a lap down in 14th place. It was the latest in a series of costly errors for Leclerc, following his mistake during the Canadian GP which left him out on track as the ...

Aston Martin star Fernando Alonso is not having the season he would have expected after a brilliant debut campaign with the British manufacturer. Fernando Alonso proved why he was a double world champion in 2023, securing eight podium finishes and more than 200 points for Aston Martin while his teammate Lance Stroll failed to reach triple figures in the Drivers’ Championship. However, the 2024 season hasn’t gone to plan for Alonso or Aston Martin. The British manufacturer have ambitions to be challenging for race wins and even championships in the future. Aston Martin are desperate to hire Adr...
