On February 1st 2024, the cataclysmic news that Lewis Hamilton was moving to Ferrari graced our screens like the news that Donald Trump had won the election or that Russia had waged war on Ukraine. Shockwaves were sent through the F1 community. Martin Brundle was on air immediately, Toto Wolff was crying in his basementContinueContinue reading “Why I Think Lewis Hamilton Went To Ferrari”

The Greatest Alliances and Rivalries in F1 History
Throughout the history of Formula 1, we’ve seen many insane driver duos, clashes and coincidences. After all, F1 isn’t just about the cars or the overtakes or the racing, well it is, but you wouldn’t be able to appreciate those things without the driver drama or at least some context. So, this week I willContinueContinue reading “The Greatest Alliances and Rivalries in F1 History”
My Top (Made Up) Driver Pairings
We all love a good teammate friendship, seeing how they laugh together in interviews and create funny moments that later become memes. However, not all driver pairings can end up that way; there are some which can end in fights on and off track, create divides within teams and even cause one to leave theContinueContinue reading “My Top (Made Up) Driver Pairings”

What Makes Max Verstappen So Unlikeable?
Let’s talk about the elephant in the (pretty large) room of Formula 1 right now: Max Verstappen. The four-time world champion from the Netherlands who somehow manages to make every F1 fan either worship him or curse his name. His controversial nature has become even more prominent over the past few seasons (which, let’s beContinueContinue reading “What Makes Max Verstappen So Unlikeable?”

What Each Team Would Be as a High School Clique
In most group situations in life, whether it be families, workplaces, parties or sport, there are always the specific groups, most commonly referred to as ‘cliques’. These cliques are most prominent in high schools with movies like ‘Mean Girls’ or ‘High School Musical’ being centred around the troubles of these. Of course, F1 is noContinueContinue reading “What Each Team Would Be as a High School Clique”

Alpine’s Nightmare Pt.2
Welcome back to Part 2 of Alpine’s Nightmare. It’s been a week, and… not much has changed. No major statements. No real answers. Just more questions, and more of the same confusion that’s come to define this team. Last week, I covered Oliver Oakes’ sudden resignation and the quick-fire promotion of Franco Colapinto over JackContinueContinue reading “Alpine’s Nightmare Pt.2”
Alpine’s Nightmare (Pt.1)
Alpine, the team that’s always been solidly midfield. Never really winning, never truly losing. They’re the team nobody loves, but nobody really hates either. Because of that, they’ve managed to fly under the radar of the F1 gossip mill despite the instability and drama that’s plagued them in recent years. But now, with Alpine sittingContinueContinue reading “Alpine’s Nightmare (Pt.1)”

ranking F1 team merch
Every year, what comes with a new livery is a new set of team merch. Of course, thousands of people rush to buy this new merch to support their favourite teams and drivers; but if we look at these new pieces of team merchandise objectively, are they actually nice? Today, I will be ranking eachContinueContinue reading “ranking F1 team merch”
The Soundtrack to My F1 Obsession
We all have that one playlist that we never really listen to. That one playlist where you kept hearing songs and thought “wow, this song really reminds me of…” and it finally reaches a point where you finally make the stupid playlist. For me, it’s songs, or lyrics in songs, that remind me of theContinueContinue reading “The Soundtrack to My F1 Obsession”

The FIA needs a reset, starting with the president
Mohammed Ben Sulayem. FIA President since 2021. And, as you might’ve gathered from last week’s article, we do NOT have a lot of love for the FIA right now. MBS, as he’s often (not-so-lovingly) called, is an Emirati former rally driver and motorsports executive who’s been around the FIA since 2005. In his time asContinueContinue reading “The FIA needs a reset, starting with the president”
Verstappen vs The World
Max Verstappen, four-time world champion, Red Bull’s golden boy, and easily one of the most entertainingly confrontational people to ever sit in an F1 car. He’s fiery, he’s fierce, and if you’re lining up next to him on the grid, you better hope you packed your ego in a fireproof box. But Max’s intensity doesn’tContinueContinue reading “Verstappen vs The World”
Why We Hate the FIA: F1 Fans vs. the Ruling Body
“BOOOOO!!!” That deafening sound echoed through the O2 Arena during the F1-75 event as soon as the FIA was mentioned. Teams exchanged awkward glances, drivers tried to keep a straight face, and poor Laura Winter did her best to stay composed on stage. But honestly? No one was surprised. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1pqLA6gJh1s F1 fans have had itContinueContinue reading “Why We Hate the FIA: F1 Fans vs. the Ruling Body”

Why is Ferrari THE team to drive at?
Winning in F1 makes you a champion. Winning with Ferrari makes you a legend. When Formula 1 kicked off its very first season in 1950, it looked wildly different from what we know today. Back then, there were 30 teams, 81 drivers, and just 7 races. Fast forward to 2024, and F1 has evolved intoContinueContinue reading “Why is Ferrari THE team to drive at?”

This season has brought one of the biggest shake-ups in Formula 1 history, with six rookies making their debut, the most we’ve ever seen in a single year. That means 30% of the grid is made up of fresh talent, new names, and exciting stories just waiting to unfold. To help you get to knowContinueContinue reading “meet the rookies.”

Stars, Stripes, and the Starting Grid: What America’s Love Affair with F1 Means for the Sport
It’s Saturday night in Las Vegas. The Strip, usually a neon blur of Elvis impersonators, roulette wheels, and stag parties, is humming with a different kind of energy. Instead of slot machines, it’s the roar of engines bouncing off casino walls. Martin Brundle is trying (and failing) to corral A-list celebrities for grid walk interviews,ContinueContinue reading “Stars, Stripes, and the Starting Grid: What America’s Love Affair with F1 Means for the Sport”
10 Most Iconic Team Radio Moments in F1

And they risk their lives every time they get behind the wheel.” That’s the now iconic logline that introduced Formula 1: Drive to Survive to the world, a Netflix series that redefined how we see the sport. If you’re reading this, chances are, you’re one of the millions who got hookedContinueContinue reading ““Drive to Survive”: The Saviour of F1 or Just a Well-Timed Boost?”
McLaren’s Problem.
Michael Schumacher and Rubens Barrichello. Sebastian Vettel and Mark Webber. Lewis Hamilton and Valtteri Bottas. Max Verstappen and Sergio Pérez. These driver pairings will be remembered for decades as some of the most successful in the sport, all because they led their teams through eras of dominance. But what do they all have in common?ContinueContinue reading “McLaren’s Problem.”
