Video: Has Mercedes outsmarted McLaren for Antonelli’s win – what’s behind Leclerc’s huge penalty?

Andrea Kimi Antonelli has won his third Formula 1 Grand Prix in a row and now holds a remarkable record. Toto Wolff described it as Antonelli’s best F1 race so far, but at the same time said that the handbrake needs to be applied to stop the hype in Italy. Lando Norris, meanwhile, believed that McLaren lost the race due to Mercedes’ undercut, but is that really the case? Ronald Vording discusses…

Video: Franco Colapinto's showrun in Argentina

Franco Colapinto thrilled a huge home crowd, in Buenos Aires, in the F1 roadshow, he took to the streets in the 2012 Lotus E20 powered by a Renault V8 engine – the same package with which Kimi Raikkonen won in Abu Dhabi that year.

Video: F175 - The Greatest Grand Prix

What makes a race truly legendary? Is it a wet-weather masterclass, a relentless wheel-to-wheel duel, or an underdog story that defies the odds? As Formula 1 celebrates its 75th year, we move beyond the championship permutations to rank the sheer quality of the racing itself. In this episode, we dive into the definitive list of the Greatest Grand Prix ever held. From the high-speed slipstreaming…

2021 F1 Bahrain test de-brief with Scarbs

Only one pre-season F1 test in 2021, so there was lots to be learned and tried in Bahrain. I talked to Craig Scarborough after the test about new developments on the cars, the outstanding pace of Red Bull-Honda…and what appeared to be a disappointing test for Mercedes.

Best Pics – Charles Coates, F1 photographer

Highly-acclaimed F1 photographer, Charles Coates, selects his personal favourite images in this exclusive series. Charles (otherwise known as “Tootall”) has been working professionally in F1 since 1989, mainly for LAT (London Art Tech) but also as a freelance. A familiar, unmissable figure at F1 races, Toots has forged close friendships with many of the great […]

From inside the Mercedes garage

Steve Etherington – official photographer of the AMG Mercedes F1 team – shares some favourite images from his year with the World Champions

Sir Stirling Moss by Nigel Roebuck

Nigel Roebuck, F1’s premiere journalist/ historian, became a Moss fan from the moment he saw him race at Oulton Park in the early 1950s. In this new four-part video series he recounts personal memories of Stirl – the driver he grew to know well and whom he considers to be the best that ever lived.

Brilliant racing drivers

Chatting with Hitech’s Oli Oakes Oliver ‘Oli’ Oakes today owns and runs one of the most successful race teams in Europe – and must be on any logical short-list of F1 team owners of the future. More than that, though, Oli is a former World Kart Champion and Red Bull Junior F3 driver, which means […]

Vettel splits with Ferrari

Here are a few thoughts on Sebastian Vettel’s end-of-season departure from Ferrari. I think this is a good thing for Ferrari in one sense – it’ll allow them to focus 100 per cent on Charles Leclerc, who is quite capable of winning a championship if the car is good enough – but in another it’s […]

One of the greatest of F1 drives – Monaco, 1965

This race had it all. A titanic win for Graham Hill (father of Damon). In-fighting between the two very quick Ferrari drivers. A fast drive by a young rookie named Jackie Stewart. The debut of a future World Champion – Denis Hulme. Plus an F1 Lotus plunge into the Monte-Carlo harbour. In conjunction with APArchive, […]

Chatting with Gordon Murray

It was, of course, a lot of fun to chat to the brazenly-creative Gordon Murray, the South African who came to Europe to design and build racing cars – and who went on to dominate the world. Gordon was working in a small office at Brabham, under Ron Tauranac, when Bernie Ecclestone bought that team […]

F1 braking systems with Mercedes’ Mike Elliott

Mike Elliott, Technology Director of AMG-Mercedes Petronas F1, talks us through the braking systems of the Championship-winning Mercedes F1 car. The temperatures and the g-forces involved are mind-blowing; and, until the new F1 regs arrive (probably now in 2022), the brake suppliers in F1 will remain in fierce competition. Mercedes generally use Brembo calipers with […]

F1’s unlikeliest winner

All bets were off by the time they arrived at The Glen in ’66. Jack Brabham and his fabulous Brabham-Repcos had secured the world championship; John Surtees had switched mid-season from Ferrari to Cooper-Maserati, thus ending Maranello’s realistic title challenge (despite producing a car that could have won it). Dan Gurney had debuted his gorgeous […]

F1’s craziest starter

Let’s recall the antics of Raymond “Toto” Roche, who for many years was the Race Director and Official Starter/Finisher of the French GP. He once started a race with a red flag – and on many occasions narrowly missed death as he sprinted from the grid. Either way, he inevitably played a major role in […]

Designing a new F1 car with James Allison

I’m a huge James Allison fan, I have to confess. He’s literate, lucid, intelligent, very knowledgable about a lot of subjects – and he’s creative, too, as we’ve seen over the years in F1. At “Lotus” he gave us the forward-facing exhausts; and in recent months we’ve seen the intriguing steering/camber system on the 2020 […]

2019 Merc steering wheel analysis

A big thanks to AMG Petronas Motorsport for this short video about the 2019 F1 Mercedes steering wheel. It’s introduced by Valtteri Bottas and explained by Evan Short, Mercedes’ Team Leader, Trackside Electronic Communications.

The new cars arrive…

New regulations for 2017 mean new F1 cars from all the teams. At first glance, thanks to tighter restrictions dictating front- and rear-wing shape, they’re looking ever-more similar; delve deeper, as Craig Scarborough does in the adjoining videos, and significant differences between the cars are still apparent. With their wider Pirelli tyres and increased downforce, […]

F1 charity auction

I’m very pleased to announce that we are auctioning a number of unique F1-related items in aid of charity. The catalyst for the fund-raising is a little girl I know who is battling cerebral palsy. She plays in the school band, she laughs and screams with the others…but most of the time she’s either in […]

F1 tech update with Scarbs

Time for another F1 tech update with the excellent Craig Scarborough. Although many of the mid-field teams are now concentrating on their 2017 cars, development continues unabated at the sharp end of the grid. Here are some separate thoughts on Mercedes, Red Bull-Renault, Ferrari and McLaren-Honda, with the final video focussing on the remaining teams. […]

Monza’s always fun…

…and you invariably leave on Mondays with some regret. Here are some of my thoughts as I drove across Northern Italy after another weekend at the autodromo: Nico Rosberg won impeccably; Lewis Hamilton, F1 global ambassador extraordinaire, is still massively under-used by the F1 world, particularly as the USGP approaches; Ferrari, re-structured, are looking good; Daniel […]

Caspian Collations

Lovely city; not sure about the circuit. Mind you, as compromises go, this one isn’t bad:street races are complicated to organise and expensive to sustain but at least when they’re over you still have the ancient castle and the elegant boulevards. It’s the dormant, Eu500m supercircuits – Turkey, India, Korea (with probably a few more to come) […]

Hey Bruce! What happened to the livery…?

Wonderful to see Michael Turner (right) in Monaco (above with Paul-Henri Cahier) – particularly on the occasion of McLaren’s 50th birthday. I may be wrong, but I don’t think too many of the people closely associated with the original McLaren F1 team are in town – apart from Michael, of course, and I think Howden […]

Enter the 2016 F1 cars

No big new F1 car launches these days. No pre-paid tickets to Paris or Bologna. No Marlboro watches, BMW duck-down jackets or Ferrari leather folders. Just Barcelona in mid-February. Misty mornings. Dodgy wifi. And closed garage doors. They eventually broke cover, though, the new 2016 cars. And when they did so we were watching with […]

They built racing cars….

Pure and simple. For F1. And, in order to finance those F1 projects, every other type of racing car too – from Formula Junior to big-banger sports cars. Cooper and Brabham. Two titans of the sport. Cooper gave us rear engines, Jack Brabham the sight of a brilliant driver winning races and championships in a […]
