McLaren kicked off the 2022 motorsport build-up with a bang, unveiling all of its contenders, across different formats. While F1 is the headliner, it had good opening pair with Extreme E and IndyCar. The one we’re focused on is the 2022 F1 car, of course, the MCL36. The MCL36 has a predominantly orange livery as […]
Formula 1 returned to Italy to race at Monza, the Temple of Speed, this past weekend with a hotly contested world title in the balance. Even though it is a high-speed circuit much like Zandvoort from the round before, Monza has not favoured the Red Bulls for the entirety of the turbo-hybrid era of F1. […]
The Silverstone Circuit is often referred to as the ‘Home of Formula 1’ which is also why it hosted the sport’s 70th anniversary celebration as part of the double-header in the 2020 season. It’s also been a track that has been dominated by Lewis Hamilton, and there’s even a straight named after the 7-time world […]
The story of McLaren’s comeback in Formula 1 over the last couple of years is worthy of a mini-documentary itself. The British outfit will enter the 2021 season with the most exciting driver lineup and an exciting new engine in the same bright orange package. The ‘M’ at the end of the MCL35 stands for […]

The Bahrain GP this year turned out to be more dramatic than I could have ever expected and not for a good reason. Events of the weekend are overshadowed by Sunday night’s massive crash on the first lap. You can see the incident in the clip below: Romain Grosjean’s Haas collided with a metal barrier […]
The penultimate retro circuit in the 2020 Formula 1 calendar takes us to Italy for the third time this year. The Imola circuit is a challenging one, especially in the much larger racecars of today, and is also remembered as the venue for one of F1’s most tragic moments: the death of Ayrton Senna in […]
After the snooze-fest at Sochi, Formula 1 headed to another iconic track for this special 2020 season. While the calendar rarely skips Germany, the sport was returning to Nürburgring after a 7-year gap. Technically this would be the first time that the turbo-hybrid F1 cars would be racing at this circuit and it would also […]
Within 48 hours of Ferrari announcing the departure of Sebastian Vettel post-2020, the Maranello outfit has confirmed the German’s replacement for 2021 – Carlos Sainz Jr. The Spaniard was already a front runner for the seat after his strong performance for McLaren in 2019. Sainz has been on the F1 grid since 2015 and started […]
