Even if the governing FIA sounded welcoming, the reaction from Formula One's commercial rights holder to Thursday's announcement was lukewarm and big hurdles remain to any potential 11th entry. Andretti, son of 1978 F1 world champion Mario and with an outstanding record as team owner and businessman across various motorsport series, has been…

The backing was officially announced at a coffee shop in downtown Austin on Thursday ahead of this weekend's U.S. Grand Prix at the Circuit of the Americas. Haas entered F1 in 2016 and have spent much of that time without a title sponsor other than Haas Automation, the company of machine-tools industrialist and team owner Gene Haas. The…

Formula 1 predictions are hard to make, which makes it reassuring to see that even the drivers themselves are not all that accurate. Ahead of the campaign, all 20 drivers were asked by the Formula 1 YouTube channel to make some predictions, which in Kevin Magnussen's case is all the more impressive considering he had just been parachuted back into…

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…

It's the Dutchman who gets the nod as the slight favourite this time out, with Betfair offering 6/5 on Verstappen to become the first Red Bull driver to win the Australian Grand Prix since Sebastian Vettel cruised to victory in 2011. Vettel also triumphed twice in Melbourne with Ferrari in 2017 and 2018, and it's no surprise that the bookies think…

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…

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,"…

They say if you want excitement on track, just add water. But sometimes just the threat of wet weather is enough. Rain has been on the forecast all weekend, and having dampened the track before the start of qualifying, it was looming large on the radar again as the top-10 shootout got underway. It forced teams and drivers to do their best to…

It's the news no Australian Formula 1 fan wanted to hear: Daniel Ricciardo is resigned to sitting out next season's campaign after a torrid two years at McLaren. It's been on the cards ever since he was dumped by Woking during the mid-season break to make way for compatriot Oscar Piastri. He may have been able to force the team to buy him out of…

Mick Schumacher showed on the first day of the Japanese Grand Prix why Haas F1 is still keeping him uncertain about 2023. The driver made an embarrassing mistake after test starts and got an irate team boss Guenther Steiner on his roof, pointing the finger. After his painful debut year in Formula 1, in which Schumacher finished without any points…

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…

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…

We just might have our three-way fight for victory at along last at the Dutch Grand Prix. We've been teased a three-team battle all season, and at some races we even saw glimpses of one, most recently in Hungary. But after qualifying in the Netherlands, where Red Bull Racing, Ferrari and Mercedes all had legitimate claims to pole position, it might…

Guenther Steiner has revealed Mick Schumacher must'score more points' if he wants to receive a new Formula 1 contract from Haas. Schumacher has enjoyed a season of ups and downs in 2022 and there is speculation he could be without a drive for 2023. Schumacher is enjoying his second campaign in the pinnacle of motor racing after a scoreless rookie…
