Every rookie to drive in FP1 in F1 2026

All 11 Formula 1 teams are obliged to run a 'rookie' driver in each of their cars twice during the 2026 season - meaning four outings are required in total. Rookies are defined by the regulation as any driver who has completed no more than one grand prix.Arvid Lindblad's rookie status means Racing Bulls had already satisfied the requirement on his side of the garage by round two in China.Below you...

Is Alonso's harsh F1 driver claim justified?

A third of Formula 1's grid is "very low" in quality. That was the charge Fernando Alonso levelled at some of his rivals after one of them wrecked his United States Grand Prix. Alonso repeated similar claims to the broadcast and written media to make his message clear. He was calm and deliberate in his delivery rather than emotional. And Alonso is rarely one to waste his words, so this wasn't a th...

What the US GP really exposed about where Ferrari is lacking

Charles Leclerc's comments after finishing runner-up in the United States Grand Prix perfectly sum up much of Ferrari's 2026 Formula 1 campaign.He said it was a "shame" that "we came short of winning".Austin typified a bit of a running theme for Ferrari this year. Strong throughout practice, in contention early on in qualifying, underwhelming in Q3, recovering in the race but often leaving it too ...

The brutal Mercedes contrasts behind Russell's 'rubbish' pace

A confused George Russell lacked answers for his “rubbish” pace at the United States Grand Prix, which contrasted brutally with his championship-bound Formula 1 team-mate Kimi Antonelli. Russell finished eighth and 54 seconds behind race winner Antonelli, who is now all but guaranteed to become F1 world champion in next Sunday’s Mexican Grand Prix. It was unlikely that Antonelli would seal the dea...

But it was the bevy of announcements pre-Austin that underlined why the US GP and F1 are in the rudest health they’ve ever been, even amidst ongoing threats of global marke...
