The Sakhir GP was the second round at the Bahrain International Circuit, but unlike the double-headers at Silverstone and Red Bull Ring, we had a different track layout for the repeat venue. F1 used the outer layout of the circuit which is only 3.543km in length. Comprising of three straights and only 10 turns, it […]
The last throwback circuit of the 2020 F1 calendar saw the teams set up at the Istanbul Park circuit in Turkey. Ending the 9-year hiatus from the track, three of the current grid of drivers have experience racing here.

It was shocking and at the same time, it wasn’t. Racing Point has announced that they’ll be dropping Sergio Perez at the end of the 2020 season. Soon after, Sebastian Vettel confirmed he’ll be filling that seat in 2021 when Racing Point will become an Aston Martin work’s team. Once Ferrari confirmed Vettel’s departure before […]
A normal F1 season only has one Italian GP and Monza has been on the calendar since the beginning of F1.

That’s also why we appreciate the next-generation drivers so […]

The F1 circus arrived in Central America for the Mexican Grand Prix with the 2019 Constructor’s Championship already decided.

It’s official, the Force India name will not come up in Formula One this year. Instead, we now have a ‘new’ team with new owners but still a very pink livery – it’s SportPesa Racing Point. Racing Point is what the F1 team is called with SportPesa as their title sponsor along with BWT as […]
