The Formula 1 record books are dominated by drivers that rack up the big numbers, such as Lewis Hamilton and Michael Schumacher, but there is a small group of racers who have just one victory on their CVs

Monaco is known as being a nigh-on impossible place for anyone to overtake. While that characteristic has turned many of its grands prix over the years into dull affairs, in 1992 it made the race one of the most exciting in F1 history as Senna pulled off a brilliant victory. Heading in to the weekend, Senna had known that his chances were pretty slim, with the Williams of championship leader ... Keep reading

For those who believe in parallel universes, there's an alternate reality where Lucas di Grassi might well have won a handful of grands prix and helped the Brawn team to claim the 2009 Formula 1 constructors' championship. In another version of events, he could just as likely have paired up alongside two-time world champion Fernando Alonso at Renault. The Brazilian was waiting in the wings ... Keep reading

Austria's Health Minister has given the green light for the Red Bull Ring to host the opening round(s) of the 2020 Formula One season in July.

There is a habit for memories in Formula 1 to be very, very short, often prompting more current events to be overhyped. That much is true of last year's Brazilian Grand Prix. It offered one of the most dramatic finishes to a race in recent F1 history, and a shock result with two total outsiders standing on the podium. But until the first safety car period, triggered with 18 laps to go ... Keep reading

The Formula 1 season-openers in Austria have been approved by the country's government, according to reports.

In the most recent Formula 1 classic race, a grand prix which only sparked to life late on, the 2019 Brazilian Grand Prix gave Carlos Sainz Jr his moment in the sun which he celebrated in the darkness of a post-race podium and led Ferrari to come knocking

Mark Webber enjoyed a long, largely-successful Formula 1 career that came to an end in 2013, but one in which he just fell short of becoming world champion. Despite playing a key role in Red Bull's run of four constructors' championship wins from 2010 to 2013, Webber was left very much in the shadow of teammate Sebastian Vettel - a feeling that only grew with each season that went by. While ... Keep reading

The now-delayed 2022 technical overhaul, originally slated for 2021 before the coronavirus pandemic prompted F1 to defer the changes by a year, only features very minor changes to the powertrain regulations.

McLaren boss Zak Brown is expecting 2021 signing Daniel Ricciardo to provide a benchmark that will help Lando Norris develop as a Formula 1 driver

The Formula 1 team has taken a big hit over the past few years as it has tried to balance its income against ever increasing expenditure. The former has inevitably been impacted by the poor performance on track, one that has seen it tumble from third place in the World Championship as recently as 2015, to last position finishes in both 2018 and 2019. It’s a hard reality of F1 that results ... Keep reading

Daimler has reacted to claims that Toto Wolff is to "step down" as boss of the Mercedes F1 team as "unfounded and irresponsible", insisting that the Austrian will continue as a "managing partner".

The boss of Renault says the French car company will stay in Formula 1 beyond the end of this season.

The world champion outfit is contracted to race in F1 until the end of the 2020 season, but reports in Germany this week suggested that the car manufacturer was about to wind down its official involvement and sell shares to Aston Martin. The stories also suggested that Wolff had decided to step down from his role as team principal after 2020 and take a non-executive role, similar to that ... Keep reading

Mercedes has made it clear that it fully plans to remain in Formula 1 as a works team and will continue with current team principal Toto Wolff beyond 2020

You might think that a red flag within the last 10 laps of the Monaco GP would be a recipe for an exciting conclusion, by closing up the whole field and allowing for a spectacular sprint to the flag at the resumption. However, in 2011 it had the opposite effect. We already had a finely-balanced thriller, with Sebastian Vettel, Fernando Alonso and Jenson Button running nose-to-tail. Having ... Keep reading

Williams plans to reveal a new livery before the start of the Formula 1 season, in the wake of it terminating its title sponsorship deal with ROKiT

Race: 1990 Mexican Grand Prix, Mexico City Car: Ferrari 641 There were several races that I could choose from, but if I had to pick one it would be the 1990 Mexican Grand Prix and 1986 Australian.

Within a system of what are now called "homologated components" there is still some scope for development via a token system. In other words, teams can decide which elements they wish to upgrade, but they can only do it with the full knowledge and agreement of the FIA. Much of the car remains completely free, including most aerodynamic elements, so teams can still develop in those areas. As ... Keep reading

Overall group revenue fell from £284m in the same period last year to £109m, while the company made a loss of £81m, compared to a profit of £22m in 2019.

Racing Point will not turn into a "monster" Formula 1 team when it becomes the Aston Martin works operation in 2021, according to technical chief Andrew Green

As McLaren Group's revenue crashes by 61.5%, filings reveal that last year saw the company pay the final instalment of Ron Dennis' £275m pay off.

With engine development costs having been kept outside the scope of F1's budget cap that is coming into force from 2021, there had been concern that investment in that area of performance could ramp up. In fact, Renault F1 team principal Cyril Abiteboul had already suggested earlier this week that the levels of expenditure now needed to stay competitive had become a burden. "We've been able ...

Local media reports that Vietnamese GP could be held in November with only local fans allowed access to watch the event.

The 2020 Dutch Grand Prix is cancelled because of the coronavirus pandemic.

So in a bid to ensure F1 is not left in a situation where Pirelli’s only option to manage the tyres is to force teams to use ever higher pressures – something they don’t ... Keep reading

The 2020 Dutch Grand Prix is cancelled because of the coronavirus pandemic.

The return of the Formula 1 Dutch Grand Prix has been officially cancelled for 2020, with the first race at the revived Zandvoort circuit postponed until 2021

The move comes at a time when the 2019 tyres have been carried over for a second year after teams voted not to use the spec that Pirelli had originally developed for 2020. In addition, the same tyres are currently intended to be used next year, and there is no testing programme outside race weekends that would allow for any development. That has led to some concerns about how well the same ... Keep reading

McLaren believes the 'massive and painful task' of cutting spending and reducing its staff numbers to get under Formula 1's budget cap level is the price to be paid for new rules that it believes will secure the future of the sport

The news comes as no surprise as the race had not featured on any recent version of a revised calendar that F1 has been working on. The Netherlands remains subject to tight restrictions on events, and the promoters had made it clear that they were not keen to hold their first race behind closed doors, having sold out some months ago.

Few races in the last 25 years of Formula 1 can attest to providing the same kind of drama the 1998 Belgian Grand Prix offered.

But it was also the day the Schumacher brothers would both go to war, left aggrieved after feeling they had each been denied a potential ... Keep reading

Silverstone cancels its "flagship three-day festival", which leaves date free for a rescheduled Grand Prix.

And yet most of the machines that win in F1 are perfectly decent in the looks department. A few can even be described as beautiful.  Partly that’s because some of the odd ‘bitsa specials’ that have turned up over the years were always going to get beaten by properly honed, refined and neat designs. There’s probably also some truth in the maxim, ‘if it looks right it is ... Keep reading

Throughout the history of Formula 1 there have been some stunning race-winning cars, but there have also been some which are not quite as aesthetically pleasing. Autosport has picked out its 10 worst

On the odd occasion too, it also helps if you're familiar with the sport's history, as something that was thought lost to the annals of time, might suddenly be en vogue again. A great example of this is the blown diffuser. These had a huge impact in F1 as the V8 era came to an end, having been used during the 80's and 90's before falling out of favour as the regulations changed. The original ... Keep reading
