For the first time in 11 years, Daniel Ricciardo will not be a regular fixture in a Formula One season when the 2023 campaign kicks off on March 5 in Bahrain. The 33-year-old's downfall in 2022 is a story well told. In truth, it started badly and failed to improve, forcing McLaren Racing to axe the popular Australian despite having a year remaining…

Formula 1, the pinnacle of international motorsport, is riding high again with increased popularity on any meaningful metric; last season's finale in Abu Dhabi created a storm of controversy but attracted 108.7 million viewers, That's the highest viewing figures for a race all season and significantly increased from the previous year.

With the 2022 season done and dusted, Red Bull employees have been understandably enjoying themselves, following a season of complete domination. As they approached this season, the Austrian side probably couldn't have imagined winning 17 out of 22 races in a season, with 15 of those having been claimed by Max Verstappen. It was truly a season like…

Formula 1's 2022'silly season' certainly lived up to its name - much of it unwittingly sparked by Sebastian Vettel. The 35-year-old German was something of a firebrand at one time, but has mellowed considerably now he is a father of three and an activist for social and environmental causes. All he did was decide the end of 2022 was the time for him…

The race is scheduled for Sunday, May 22, with F1 legend Lewis Hamilton entering the event as the five-time defending champion. In what has become the norm during the 2022 Formula 1 season, Red Bull's Max Verstappen and…

When Haas announced they had signed Nico Hulkenberg to race for the team in 2023 alongside Kevin Magnussen, plenty of F1 fans wondered how the two drivers would get on, after they famously clashed on track and off it back in 2017. The two drivers drew headlines in Hungary that season after tangling towards the end of the race, leading Magnussen to…

The first four seasons of the smash-hit doc, created by Box-To-Box Films, have proven so successful, Netflix signed off on orders for season 5 and season 6 in the early stages of 2022.

We're one week away from embarking on the last double-header and final two races of the 2022 Formula 1 season. There is no chase for championships or championship odds, as Red Bull has already had multiple opportunities to celebrate its dominance in 2022. Most teams are deep in preparing for the 2023 season, so there are no real upgrades to speak…

We know it is risky business to try and predict an F1 pecking order in normal seasons, let alone in 2022 with the major technical overhaul the sport is going through, which makes every team a potential contender, as no one can actually confirm who has found the silver bullet and who has not. But, where's the fun in playing it safe? So the team at…

Max Verstappen has his second opportunity to seal the Formula 1 title this weekend. If he were to be successful, he'd write himself into the history books alongside several of the sport's most famous names to have won the championship at the renowned Suzuka Circuit. No fewer than 11 drivers have claimed a championship in Japan, enhancing the…

This could be one of Formula 1's most dramatic weeks in years. The Singapore Grand Prix paddock was febrile at the weekend, but it had nothing to do with tropical climate. Long-held suspicions that some teams were operating at the outer limits of the cost cap had finally erupted, and the sport is roiling with the implications. Two teams are at the…

Another piece in Formula 1's wild 2023 silly season has been confirmed with Yuki Tsunoda receiving a third season with Red Bull's AlphaTauri outfit. But has Tsunoda done enough to deserve a third year in F1? Our writers give their verdict: Tsunoda hasn't made an irrefutable case to remain at AlphaTauri and it would be naïve to suggest the decision…

Red Bull and Porsche were supposed to set up a 10-year F1 partnership. The Stuttgart carmaker would take up the Austro-British team's new engine programme and buy a 50% stake in the race team. It should've been confirmed at the Austrian Grand Prix in July. But the FIA delayed its wording of the 2026 power unit regulations that Porsche demanded…
