While Lewis Hamilton’s F1 future has been a talking point as of late, the speculation has now ended. Mercedes has confirmed the Brit will continue to drive for the team through the 2020 season.

In the midst of football mania, the F1 circus descended upon the home of British motor racing this weekend. While the future of Silverstone’s F1 hosting duties remains unclear, this year’s British GP surely showed it can put on an entertaining race.

Thus far, F1 in 2018 has proven itself to mirror many of the previous season’s results and today was no different. It should come as no surprise then that the top three looks as it did last year.

From the moment Toyota revealed the new Supra, it was inevitable it’d end up as a race car.

McLaren has confirmed Eric Boullier has resigned from the role of Racing Director for the F1 team. This news comes mere days before this weekend’s homeland race at Silverstone.

The final round of the F1 triple header is set for this weekend. While the Austrian GP was chaotic in its own right, Haas walked away with its best performance to date. As such, Kevin Magnussen is here to take us along for a lap around Silverstone.

After qualifying, you’d be forgiven for thinking that results were all but confirmed for this past weekend’s Austrian GP. Mercedes dominated the field with a front-row lockout and was well ahead with its raw pace.

If you were expecting a shakeup of the establishment for this weekend’s Austrian Grand Prix, well, that’s too bad. Qualifying for tomorrow’s race mirrors that of last year’s results, almost to a tee.

The second round of the first F1 triple header kicks off this weekend. With the sport heading to the Red Bull Ring, who better to show off the venue than Red Bull’s own Max Verstappen?

German (DTM) and Japanese (Super GT) touring cars have, at long last, finalized the new, common “Class 1” regulations, and will have two joint races in 2019.

Volkswagen and Romain Dumas made history at Pikes Peak this weekend. Not only did they beat the previous electric-only record by almost exactly a minute, but the VW I.D. R‘s 7:57.148 time is now the fastest ever at the event.

Heading into today’s race was a gamble for all parties involved. Would the returning Circuit Paul Ricard make for an interesting race or would it flop? Good news then that the venue was eventful and thensome.

This weekend marks the return of Circuit Paul Ricard to the F1 calendar. Qualifying for tomorrow’s returning French Grand Prix went off without a hitch. Moreover, the returning race is the beginning of F1’s first-ever triple header.

When the cover came off the Volkswagen I.D. R in April, we knew the Peoples’ Car maker had a contender on its hands. Now that the car is on the track though, we’re seeing just how quick it really is.

Spa-Francorchamps, home of the Belgian GP, will remain on the F1 calendar until at least 2021. The current deal for the track saw its contract expire after this year’s race.

It’s official: Red Bull and Honda will join forces in Formula One beginning in 2019. The engine deal covers the 2019 and 2020 seasons, right up to the end of the current regulations. With F1 returning to Circuit Paul Ricard this weekend, the news is sure to set the mood.

After the mayhem of recent years, endurance racing fans may have been crying out for a normal race. It’s not good for the heart to run at 130bpm for a full day, after all.

It’s time again for one of the greatest spectacles in racing, the 24 Hours of Le Mans.

This weekend marks the 86th running of the 24 Hours of Le Mans. It coincides with a pivotal time for the world’s greatest race. Rising costs for the top-level LMP1 prototypes have left Toyota as the only factory-backed entrant in the class. Meanwhile, organizers are busy developing a cheaper and more marketable formula to replace it that would ideally encourage manufacturers to invest again. 

While chaos has certainly been the flavor of the 2018 season thus far, the Canadian Grand Prix was a somber affair. Following the results of qualifying, it set the stage for a return to form. Much like the Monaco Grand Prix, things played out exactly as you’d expect for the top three.
