The Australian Grand Prix marks a return to its traditional season-opening slot, the first time since 2019, after Bahrain held that position for the past four years. This shift, driven by Ramadan occurring in March, has brought a fresh feel to the start of the 75th anniversary season of Formula 1. Pre-season testing in Bahrain (February 26-28) suggested McLaren might carry forward their 2024 Constructors’ Championship momentum, with their car showing consistency despite some rear-end challenges in hotter conditions. Ferrari, Mercedes, and Red Bull also appeared competitive, setting the stage for a tight battle at the front, while the midfield looked unpredictable with teams like Williams and Haas potentially punching above their weight.

Early chatter from fans on social media platforms, reflecting sentiment before FP1 fully kicks off, highlights a few key points. McLaren is seen as a frontrunner but not untouchable, with Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc expected to challenge strongly from the outset. Lewis Hamilton, now with Ferrari after his high-profile move from Mercedes, might need time to settle in, while rookies like Kimi Antonelli (Mercedes) and Liam Lawson (Red Bull) could face a learning curve. Williams has sparked intrigue as a possible midfield surprise, and Haas might also be in the mix, though it’s too soon to confirm these trends without full practice data.

Red Bull, Ferrari, Mercedes and Aston Martin all introduced a significant number of upgrades at Imola and even McLaren, which brought a major package to the previous race in Miami, had some circuit-specific changes here. Red Bull has just about kept itself on top through all that, but there are real signs of it starting to look more vulnerable - with McLaren so nearly making it two wins in a row.

Forget all of the talk of engine modes, race runs, tire testing and sandbagging that we’ve heard and seen for the past 10 days since the testing. Now is the time for 10 teams and 20 drivers to go for broke and show us all exactly what they’ve really got in their 2023 cars.

After a slow start to the 2022 Formula 1 season, we need to ask, what is going on with Aston Martin F1 Team? I'm on the hype train, but i didn't really expect such a bad start to the season. Porpoising has been an issue for almost every team this year but Aston Martin seem to be struggling big time. Having to alter their setup has cost them lap time and had big consequences on aero. If they can iron out those issues, will Aston Martin make a comeback this season?

The Jeddah Corniche Circuit is a temporary street circuit (albeit adorned with some permanent sections), located on the Corniche – a 30km coastal resort area of the ancient Saudi Arabian city of Jeddah. Designed by the German Tilke company, in conjunction with Formula 1’s own Motorsports team – who used Google Earth for their initial investigations into potential layouts – F1’s Ross Brawn said of the track: “What we want to see is a race circuit. We don’t want Mickey Mouse circuits. We don’t want those old classic street circuits with 90 degree turns. We want fast sweeping circuits, circuits which are going to challenge the drivers – and they are going to love it.” The inaugural Saudi Arabian Grand Prix takes place in 2021, the race joining its Middle Eastern counterparts in Bahrain and Abu Dhabi – while like those races, the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix will also take place under floodlights. The track is fast, real fast. Very fast. Average speeds around the Jeddah Corniche Circuit are set to be 252km/h – quicker than those at Silverstone, and second on the 2021 calendar only to Monza – aka ‘The Temple of Speed’.

Verstappen wins the Mexico City Grand Prix. Race win number 19 and number nine of the season for Max Verstappen. First lap bravery saw him jump from third to first and then perfection from then on. Lewis Hamilton does hold off Sergio Perez for a damage-limiting second. Hamilton started and finished second. Perez gets onto the podium at his home race for the first time ever. What a day for him. Valtteri Bottas steals the fastest lap bonus point away from Max Verstappen right at the end, but it will not add anything to Bottas' total as you need to be in the top 10 to get the point. The biggest smile of the day is on the face of Sergio Perez. He's set some history today. The first Mexican to lead an F1 race in Mexico and the first Mexican to finish on the podium here. It's third for him, but this will be one of the greatest days in his life.

Resulys Mexico F1 GP - Finishing in the points 1) Verstappen 2) Hamilton +16.5 3) Perez +17.7 4) Gasly +63.8 5) Leclerc +81

Verstappen doubled his advantage over Lewis Hamilton two weeks ago in Austin and now leads the seven-time champion by 12 points with five races to go in the season. It’s a great spot to be in heading into Mexico City, a track where Verstappen has been very good in recent years. Verstappen won the 2017 and 2018 races at the Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez. Hamilton won two years ago and also won in 2016, though Mercedes team principal Toto Wolff hinted that Red Bull has the upper hand entering the weekend.

F1 will stick to its regular weekend schedule for the Mexican GP, with two practice sessions on Friday each lasting 60 minutes (rather than the previous 90-minute sessions), before an additional practice session also running for one hour on Saturday.

Leclerc will take a fresh set of power unit components in Sochi amid fears over his battery after the first-lap crash in Hungary, resigning him to a back-of-grid start. Ferrari will not provide Leclerc’s team-mate, Carlos Sainz Jr, with the updated parts this weekend as it wants to avoid having both cars start at the rear of the grid at the same race.The new hybrid system is understood to provide Ferrari a small power boost, thought to be less than 10hp.

Fully supported by Michael Schumacher’s family, SCHUMACHER features rare interviews and previously undisclosed archival footage and draws a very sensitive yet critical portrait of the seven-time World Champion. The documentary explores the many facets that made and define this complex athlete and accompanies him on his meteoric rise in this challenging and dangerous sport, which is followed by millions worldwide. His strong will and triumphant fight to win against all odds put Michael Schumacher at the centre of global attention. Michael Schumacher’s journey has captured the imagination of millions, but there is a lot more than motor racing to the success of this very private man. However, it is not only his fighting spirit and striving for perfection that define Michael Schumacher as a person; his self-doubt and insecurities complete the picture of a sensitive and reflected man.

Although Max Verstappen and Red Bull-Honda made it three pole positions in a row in Austria, the championship leader's lap time was all-but-matched by McLaren-Mercedes' Lando Norris. And with Sergio Perez making a 1-3 for Red Bull, the two factory Mercedes drivers, Lewis Hamilton and Valtteri Bottas, will be starting only P4-P5. George Russell brilliantly qualified his Williams P9 (now P8, following Sebastian Vettel's penalty); Yuki Tsunoda is right up there in P7, behind team-mate Pierre Gasly with the Alpha Tauri-Honda, but neither Ferrari driver, nor Fernando Alonso,

2021 Monaco Grand Prix F1 race debrief - This is probably the most questions ever received for one of our F1 Race Debrief videos! So, we picked out the key topics you asked about the Monaco Grand Prix for James to answer!

#Mercedes #Petronas #F1 #Monaco

Hamilton and Mercedes have been such a strong and formidable partnership for years now, and it has been the case in 2021 so far as well, but in Monaco it was rare to see Lewis so obviously pointing the finger at the strategists. We can fully understand his frustration though. As a driver you have to obey what you are told over the radio, because you trust that your team on the pit wall and back at base have more information available to them and can make the correct decision. In Monaco it was far from the case. It’s mistakes outside of a driver’s control that can be the hardest to take and both Lewis and the Mercedes team were understandably beaten up on Sunday evening.
