The British Grand Prix at Silverstone is set to capture the attention of millions of F1 fans this Sunday. After mixed practice sessions in rain and wind, Carlos Sainz capitalised on the ever-changing conditions of Saturday’s exciting qualifying session to put his Ferrari on pole for the first time ever. A number of teams have revealed new upgrade packages for this weekend, so hopes will be high of pushing forward in the pecking order, but not everyone can come out as beneficiaries. The track itself may lack stunning scenery as it’s built on a flat former airfield, but it more than makes up for ..read more

F1 is back in Baku this weekend for the Azerbaijan Grand Prix. A relatively recent addition to the calendar, the track sees the cars race down the Baku Boulevard past grand and historical buildings on a classic street circuit configuration, full of 90 degree turns, dead-end run-off areas and lengthy straights. The final start/finish stretch of the 6.03km track (the 3rd longest of the season) is a gently meandering section which leads down toward the pit entry, and provides a frightening challenge as everyone’s throttle is fully open, meaning top speed can be held for an impressively long time ..read more

The Austrian Grand Prix is taking place in the form of one of F1’s unusual “sprint” weekends. The flying Dutchman Max Verstappen narrowly led the two Ferraris in the top three of Friday’s regular qualifying session, but both Mercedes’ struggled with rear grip and ended up with rare trips into the barriers. In the sprint race Verstappen had the pace to hold off the two battling Ferraris again, whilst team mate Sergio Perez came through the field to finish fifth. The track at Spielberg is another one adored by both fans and drivers alike. In the stunning Austrian mountains, spectators get a fant ..read more

Formula 1 and Miami seem made for each other. Both conjure images of glamorous people, big parties and—most importantly—fast cars. With that in mind, it might seem surprising that it took 73 Formula 1 seasons before the series touched down a bit north of South Beach, but it almost happened much earlier. The first United States Grand Prix that was part of the F1 world championship was actually held in Florida way back in 1959, about three hours up the road from Miami at Sebring. After drawing a sparse crowd, it moved to Riverside, California the following year, which wasn’t much of an improveme ..read more

Formula 1 comes back to Canada this weekend for the first Grand Prix at the Circuit Gilles-Villeneuve since the controversial 2019 race, in which Sebastian Vettel crossed the line first only for Lewis Hamilton to be awarded the win after a time penalty was handed to the then Ferrari driver. The on-form Vettel looks to be very comfortable at the track again in 2022, but Hamilton continues to be plagued by Mercedes’ bouncing problems and a lack of outright top speed. Ferrari fans would dearly love a win in memory of Gilles himself, but their best hopeful Charles Leclerc has been hit with a 10-pl ..read more

The Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya is one of the most technical on the calendar, and given that it plays host to one of Formula 1’s most thorough pre-season testing opportunities, the teams and drivers know the track inside out, possessing more data for this race than any other. In a year with so many new regulations, the knowledge gathered from pre-season will be closely compared to any findings from Friday and Saturday, and will go a long way towards deciding crucial development directions for the teams.  There’s a reason that Barcelona is F1’s go-to test track; the 1.3km pit straight i ..read more
