It’s probably crossed your mind as well hasn’t it?
You know the one we mean – the one with the teams, FIA, FOM, FOTA and anything else that starts with an “F”, having already signed everything that needs to be signed for next year (and the next year after that probably) and that the only meetings taking place right now are .. read more

The jewel in the crown of the Formula One season?
Monaco certainly used to be but with the arrival of new circuits, on an almost annual basis, you have to wonder exactly how long it’ll be before another circuit steals the crown – certainly Abu Dhabi is mooted to be a strong contender and will again lift the bar of Grand .. read more
