Lando Norris's business portfolio now includes a gaming brand born in lockdown, a junior racing team and a stake in a ticketing platform. Each venture puts confidence in a very different industry.

These are all the ...

Max Verstappen is embedding himself in his GT3 side hustle this weekend. He's not a regular in the Verstappen Racing team, but he'll be taking over this weekend as a rather well-experienced reserve.

Max Verstappen's Mercedes-AMG and Valentino Rossi's BMW is very different cars with a different number of turbos and a totally different soundtrack.

George Russell’s 2026 Singapore Grand Prix was already a certified nightmare on paper.

If there's one thing we know about modern Formula 1 drivers, it's that they hate losing. It doesn't matter if it's the Monaco Grand Prix, a round of F1 on their sim rigs, or a dirt buggy race against a MotoGP rider - they are going to absolutely send it.
That competitive streak was on full display when Quad Lock decided to reunite McLaren's Oscar Piastri and MotoGP sensation Pedro Acosta for ...

At this point in the 2026 season, George Russell is practically on a first-name basis with the FIA stewards. After eating a staggering 60-place grid drop at the Singapore Grand Prix to replace an entire pharmacy of power unit components, you would think the British driver would want to stay as far away from the back of the grid as humanly possible.
Think again.
Mercedes is preparing to bolt ...

Christian Horner has accepted that his long-standing rivalry with Formula 1 counterpart Toto Wolff became ‘more like theatre’ - but still assured it was “authentic”.

Lewis Hamilton's sixth place finish at the 2026 Singapore Grand Prix was disappointing for the Ferrari team.

Ask most engineers to grade their own work at four or five out of 10 and you'd brace for bad news. Pierre Wache, Red Bull Racing's technical director, offered that score for the team's first homemade Formula 1 power unit, and it feels like a threat to the rest of the grid. Put simply, Red Bull thinks its in-house engine is somewhere between 40 and 50% of the way to where it can be, and it ...

Formula 1's watch game at Marina Bay in 2026 stretched from a $400 Swatch to a Richard Mille that, by rough estimate, costs about $430,000 and can't be bought at just any shop.

Managing the immense pressure of a Formula 1 championship battle requires finding ways to disconnect between race weekends.

Climbing from 19th to ninth on a street circuit sounds like a decent Sunday's work, and for George Russell it was. It also fell short of what Mercedes had pencilled in, and Toto Wolff has now laid out why.
Wolff's argument is that Marina Bay punishes anyone who gets close to the car ahead.
