Last year we had new and upgraded cars taking stage in SUPER GT; this year it's Super Formula's turn as it introduces the long-anticipated upgrade to what will now be known as the Dallara SF23. The new package of aerodynamic parts and revised Yokohama tyres was put through its paces in tests at Suzuka and Motegi late last year, and the series is…

MICK SCHUMACHER has joined Mercedes as Lewis Hamilton's backup driver. Mercedes revealed the news in a tweet that said: "Willkommen, Mick. �� Say hello to our 2023 Reserve Driver, @SchumacherMick." The deal is a lifeline for Schumacher, who will also serve as back-up to George Russell for the 2023 season. It could be an emotional move, with father…

The new regulations did not quite fully deliver in 2022, but no matter, F12023 gives new hope as the teams put that learning to use. Working in tandem with the budget cap, the fresh Technical Regulations that were rolled out for 2022 are designed to make the cars easier for another driver to follow, thus boosting overtaking opportunities. And with…

After a successful 2022 race that brought record crowds to Albert Park, the Formula 1 Australian Grand Prix will return next year. Fan favourite Daniel Ricciardo won't be on track in Melbourne this time around, but spectators will have another Aussie to cheer on, with Oscar Piastri to drive for McLaren. The Sporting News takes you through all the…

It's that time of year again which all F1 writers dread…looking back at those silly predictions they had forgotten about. You can read (laugh) at all of our predictions we made back in March here, or just go right ahead and follow the thrilling battle for P1, the podium spots and the haunted wooden spoon. Who will be Drivers' World Champion? (1…

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…

Alexander Rossi's about to lose his status as the last American driver to start a Formula 1 grand prix. Williams's new Formula 2 graduate signing Logan Sargeant will pick up where Rossi left off when the 2023 F1 season starts next March. But a couple of months ago, it looked like Rossi's long-time IndyCar team-mate Colton Herta would be the man who…

Nico Hulkenberg will return to Formula 1 next season with the Haas team, ousting Mick Schumacher from the sport. The 35-year-old German last raced in F1 in 2019 for Renault, and despite not racing in any category since then, he said he felt like he'd "never really left". "I'm very happy to move into a full-time race seat with Haas F1 Team in 2023,"…

It's just four races into the 2021 Formula 1 season, but is there a sense of here we go again? As F1 heads to the familiar streets of Monte Carlo for the Monaco Grand Prix, some familiar trends are developing. Lewis Hamilton won his second straight race, third of the season, two weeks ago in Spain and Mercedes looks to have the fastest car again.…

Zhou Guanyu become the 17th driver confirmed as part of the 2023 Formula 1 lineup when Alfa Romeo confirmed that they had extended his contract through next year amid a solid rookie season. With the confirmation, the 23-year-old Chinese driver is the 16th driver locked into his seat for next year, as one of the 17 confirmed drivers, AlphaTauri's…

Formula 2 driver Logan Sargeant is currently in the running for a seat at the Williams' F1 team for 2023. Despite looking like the team's most likely choice, the American driver doesn't have a super licence yet, which he would need in order to secure a Formula 1 seat. Currently, Sargeant has thirty super licence points, but only a driver's highest…

Zhou Guanyu's contract renewal at Alfa Romeo has closed another door in Formula 1's 2023 driver market - and made the remaining seats all the more appealing for the established, and emerging, stars in the running. As a competitive market continues to take shape deep into the 2022 season, we've rounded up the runners and riders for each of the seats…

Former Formula E champion Lucas di Grassi has said that he is helping fellow Formula 2 champion Felipe Drugovich to try and find a seat in the series next year. It would appear that the Brazilian - who is now Formula E's most experienced driver, having started all 100 races - would like another countryman on the grid for 2023. Asked by FormulaNerds…

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…

Most F1 drivers achieve their place at the forefront of motorsport after many years of competition in junior series, slowly progressing their way through each stage from regional karting to Formula 2. But Max Verstappen took a much shorter path to Formula 1, becoming its youngest competitor in history at just 17 years of age. F1 Feeder Series looks…

With Nyck de Vries making an unexpected debut appearance at last weekend's Italian Grand Prix in Monza stepping in for the unwell Alexander Albon, the 2019 Formula 2 champion became only the second rookie to race in Formula 1 this year after Zhou Guanyu. Places in F1 remain very limited with only 20 seats up to be filled each season. Competition…

Colton Herta is making waves in the motorsports circuits. The young American, born in 2000, currently races for Andretti Autosport in the IndyCar series. With recent developments, it seems that Red Bull has eyes on the young talent. AlphaTauri, Red Bull Racing's sister team, in the F1 system has started making moves to acquire the American talent…

Ex-Formula 1 driver Jolyon Palmer believes that multiple Formula 1 teams will be chasing Nyck de Vries following his impressive debut last weekend at Monza. De Vries was a late call-up by Williams at the Italian Grand Prix after Alexander Albon fell ill. The Dutchman had an admirable outing in qualifying, while in the race, he crossed the line in…

Max Verstappen and the Red Bull RB-18 paid homage to the temple of speed, presenting the fastest car of the 2022 Formula 1 season in tribute to the Autodromo Nazionale di Monza and won Sunday's Italian Grand Prix from seventh on the grid. In the other RB-18, Sergio Perez had his in-race issues recovering from a 10-place grid penalty and an early…

Lando Norris is one of the most promising prospects in Formula One, but how did he get to this point? Lando Norris won his first major series this year, being crowned as the CIK-FIA KF world champion. The youngest driver to ever do so - aged 14.
