Gary is editor and writer for ReadMotorsport. He has many years experience of sports writing behind him after deciding (belatedly) that the world of accountancy wasn't for him. His work has been featured on (among many others) BBC Sport and The Metro, where he specialised in all things Norwich City. He has written on many sports, including F1 for GPfans, the subject in which he now considers himself an expert. When not writing and editing he likes to go to the cinema and sip a lovely cold pint of Guinness (not always at the same time).
Wednesday already. Time to stop looking back and, instead, look ahead at what lies in wait this weekend. And what we see are the Children’s of Alabama circuit, the rolling hills of Imola, and legendary curves of Jerez. Here is Wednesday’s update on anything and everything that’s moving in the world of motorsport. Formula 1: […]
The 2026 F1 season was seen as a clean slate for the whole grid. It was also the start of a new dawn of super-complicated technical regs. And what it also did was to lure two of the world’s automotive giants to the F1 grid, although not entirely under their own steam. Audi and Ford […]
As expected, the F1 bigwigs made changes to the new regs to appease some of the sport’s loudest voices. Meanwhile, the world of IndyCar is still abuzz after crowning a dominant winner in Long Beach. And elsewhere, MotoGP is prepping for a historic return to Jerez. Here’s the latest from across the various grids. Formula […]
F1: London calling for the 2026 ‘carrot’ As you read this, the FIA are gathering in London for what some are deeming ‘decision day.’ Following Max Verstappen’s “Mario Kart” comments, their goal today is to vote on software tweaks to the cars’ energy deployment. This is not about changing the engine spec – that ship […]
Not a happy chappy, is Max Verstappen. Right now, those four consecutive world drivers’ championships mean very little. The Dutchman is not alone among F1’s 22 drivers to feel unease with the 2026 regulation changes, but has been the most vocal. First, there was the “Formula E on steroids” jibe, and then, in Suzuka, his […]

FP1, Russell quickest as three-wide Turn 1 sets the tone George Russell was quickest in FP1 as drivers pushed early at Suzuka, leading his teammate Kimi Antonelli to a Mercedes 1-2. The W17 again looked imperious. The session’s big flashpoint came at Turn 1, where Charles Leclerc, Pierre Gasly and Oscar Piastri went three-wide into Turn […]
Thursday’s drivers’ press conference brought together Franco Colapinto, Lance Stroll, Charles Leclerc, Lando Norris, Oliver Bearman and Liam Lawson. Alongside comments made by the team principals, three main themes emerged: outright pace, reliability and energy management. The FIA also confirmed a qualifying regulation adjustment. The maximum permitted energy recharge has been reduced from 9.0 MJ to 8.0 […]
The footage was first highlighted by the social-media account @DRSunlocked, which noted that the W17’s front wing appeared to close at different speeds depending on the corners. MotorBiscuit reported that at its slowest, the transition was roughly 800ms. That figure has not been confirmed by the FIA, and Mercedes has not commented publicly. But if accurate, […]
Red Bull simulator driver Sebastien Buemi has warned critics not to rush to judgment on the team’s new power-unit programme, arguing that a first-year engine manufacturer cannot be expected to match established rivals straight away, even after what he admits was “very bad” Chinese Grand Prix. Speaking to RacingNews365 on March 20 ahead of the Madrid E-Prix, […]
Rumours are still abound that Adrian Newey will step down as team principal, despite Aston Martin issuing a denial. The suggestion was that he will now focus on technical duties, with Jonathan Wheatley set to leave Audi and replace him once contractual timing allows. The rumoured change would end a team principal’s tenure that lasted […]
Ferrari are already running a revised 2026 power unit on their test bench in Maranello as they work to close the large engine deficit to Mercedes, according to Sky Sport Italia commentator Matteo Bobbi. Bobbi said in a YouTube video (on March 18) that the new unit features “conceptual and structural differences” from the engine Ferrari […]
