    Why Norris and Leclerc have been summoned to the FIA stewards before hitting the track in Monaco

    It's unusual for Formula 1 drivers to be summoned by the FIA stewards to explain themselves before even turning a wheel on track, but this is the fate which has befallen Lando Norris and Charles Leclerc in Monaco. Both drivers must report to the stewards on Friday after arriving late for the official FIA press conference on Thursday. This may seem trivial but it still constitutes a breach of ... Keep reading

    F1 teams fit unique rear wings for Monaco GP

    The removal of straight mode for Formula 1's Monaco Grand Prix has led to an interesting approach from a handful of teams - which have used the opportunity to replace their rear wing actuators with a cluster of tiny winglets. All bodywork must fit into the defined legality boxes defined by the FIA's technical regulations. There is a small rectangular box on top of the rear wing for the wing ... Keep reading

    Newey set to return to F1 paddock in Monaco

    Adrian Newey's authorial hand has steered the design of cars which have won 14 Formula 1 drivers' championships, and many more which came tantalisingly close to doing so. Last year he added the role of team principal to his portfolio at Aston Martin, just a handful of months after joining the team as ‘managing technical partner' – a position which gave him equity in ...

    Is Leclerc's leap of faith with Ferrari the right choice? Our writers have their say

    On Wednesday morning, Ferrari announced it had agreed a "multi-year" contract extension with long-time Scuderia driver Charles Leclerc, extending his Ferrari tenure for what is thought to be at least three more seasons in Formula 1 beyond 2026. With Leclerc's previous deal not running out until the end of 2027, has the Monegasque taken a risk or is his pledge of loyalty to Maranello something ... Keep reading

    Leclerc extends Ferrari F1 contract with multi-year deal

    Charles Leclerc has agreed a contract extension to stay at Ferrari, taking himself off Formula 1's market for the foreseeable future.

The deal was announced ahead of his home grand prix in Monaco ... Keep reading

    Was Alonso correct with F1 hybrid engine criticism?

    Since the start of the season, Fernando Alonso has never hidden his views on the 2026 regulations. As early as pre-season testing in Bahrain, he pointed out that a Formula 1 car so heavily dependent on energy recovery ends up reducing risk through corners – the area where a driver should still be able to make the difference. Alonso reiterated that position ahead of the Canadian Grand Prix ... Keep reading

    Why the differences between the Mercedes and McLaren F1 gearboxes matter

    Times change quickly. In recent years, there had been extensive discussion about making the gearbox a standard component for all teams to reduce costs, as it was increasingly viewed as no longer being a decisive performance factor in Formula 1. Yet, with the 2026 regulation overhaul, the gearbox once again became a central aspect of car design. The clearest example is the contrast between ... Keep reading

    Mercedes pulls out of Alpine F1 share talks over asking price

    Mercedes is no longer pursuing a minority stake in the Alpine F1 team after disagreeing with Otro Capital's asking price. Mercedes, which is already supplying power units and gearboxes to Alpine, had been interested in acquiring Otro Capital's 24% stake, and the manufacturer had agreed in principle with majority owner Renault to buy them.

    How the FIA is limiting F1 cars’ top speed at Monaco GP with new engine maps

    The jewel in the crown of the Formula 1 calendar, Monaco has represented a challenge for the past century – challenge which will be transformed this year, as the new technical regulations introduce key elements that will significantly impact safety and car set-up. As revealed on Friday, active aerodynamics will be disabled throughout the lap in order to minimise risks, for the first time this ... Keep reading

    FIA scraps F1 straight mode in Monaco GP – here's what that means for the pecking order

    The news is official: active aerodynamics will not be used at the Monaco Grand Prix. The FIA made the decision with safety in mind. There was a risk of seeing cars become too fast at the exit of the Tunnel, given the limited run-off areas, and it was considered prudent to forgo one of the key features of the 2026 Formula 1 cars. The race in the principality will therefore be run with fixed ... Keep reading

    Why any 12th team project would face an uphill battle amid BYD rumours

    Record team valuations and the sheer complexity involved mean any potential path for Chinese giant BYD to join Formula 1 as a 12th team will be an uphill battle. The Chinese electric automotive giant has set its sights on Formula 1; Stella Li, BYD’s Executive Vice President and CEO for the Americas, Europe, and the Middle East, has never hidden that she views the world championship as the ...

    Inside Le Mans' groundbreaking new Motorsport Museum

    The Motorsport Museum has opened its doors in Le Mans following a colossal construction project completed within an astonishingly short time frame. For just under a year, the former Le Mans 24 Hours Museum was closed. During this time, walls were moved, 45,000m³ of earth was displaced, exhibits were reimagined and a rare collection was brought together. On 28 May, the M24 – Motorsport ... Keep reading

    Why McLaren will try rejected front wing again in Monaco

    At Formula 1’s Canadian Grand Prix, McLaren introduced the second stage of a major update package to its MCL40 car, with a new front wing alongside a revised engine cover, rear suspension fairings and floor edges. But introducing performance upgrades at sprint weekends is fraught with peril because there is only one practice session. Ultimately both Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri opted to ... Keep reading

    Ben Sulayem proposes removal of FIA presidential term limits

    When Haas will decide on its F1 2027 driver line-up

    An interesting pattern has emerged amid the constant ebb-and-flow of the Formula 1 driver market, where the busyness of it changes every other year. So for 2023, for example, six teams had altered their line-up - most notably caused by the Oscar Piastri fiasco - before an unchanged grid the following season which marked a first in F1 history. Vast change was on the cards again for 2025 ... Keep reading

    Do penalty points still serve any purpose in F1?

    It is fair to say that the 2026 Formula 1 season has so far generated more controversy off the track than on it, with the usual endless debates surrounding the regulations – and before that, Mercedes’ engine compression ratio. On track, however, matters have remained relatively calm. There have been a handful of incidents and collisions here and there, but nothing sufficiently contentious ... Keep reading

    Why Hamilton now has everything in the right place at Ferrari

    After he took his best-ever grand prix result with Ferrari, it felt like a weight had fallen off Lewis Hamilton's shoulders. Hamilton took second at Montreal's Circuit Gilles Villeneuve after an entertaining, race-long battle with Red Bull's Max Verstappen, hounding the Dutchman for laps before making the pass into Turn 1 on lap 62. But beyond the headline result, what was even more ... Keep reading

    Eighth place in Canada continues a welcome trend for Pierre Gasly and the Alpine Formula 1 team, which took a huge step forward in 2026. But, in a race marked by high attrition, the Frenchman's latest points finish did mask that the underlying issues that have hampered him over the past two weekends are still present.

Starting from the second row of the grid, McLaren appeared to be in a strong position to challenge Mercedes again, but everything went wrong for the ... Keep reading

    Red Bull reacts to Verstappen’s criticism – why ‘I told you’ moments are needed

    Red Bull secured its first podium finish of the year in Montreal, although Saturday did not suggest that outcome was on the cards. Max Verstappen qualified only sixth and was critical afterwards, particularly when speaking to the Dutch media in the paddock. A day later, the picture turned out to be more positive than expected, although Verstappen stressed that the result in Canada was not a ... Keep reading

    Why Russell doesn’t want to see the 2026 F1 rules changed

    George Russell might have endured a heartbreakingly premature end to his fight for the Canadian Grand Prix win with Mercedes team-mate and championship rival Kimi Antonelli, but he remained very much on-message in praising the impact of Formula 1’s controversial new technical regulations. Russell got off to a sluggish start from pole position but passed Antonelli for the lead at the final ... Keep reading

    Why "awesome" Canadian GP has convinced Hamilton he's "probably better without" Ferrari simulator

    Lewis Hamilton returned to the scene of his maiden Formula 1 victory and made another breakthrough of sorts – his best grand prix result for Ferrari after a turbulent 17 months at the Scuderia. Hamilton had the better of team-mate Charles Leclerc for most of the weekend in Montreal, though he fell behind him in the sprint race. Starting fifth on the grid for the grand prix, he passed ...
