After around two decades at the helm as CEO and Team Principal, Red Bull Racing have sacked Christian Horner.

With investors like Nadal, Brady, and Drogba, a gender-equal grid, and sustainability at its core, E1 is trying to build cultural capital from day one.

With real circuits, real teams, and a real racing icon like Lewis Hamilton involved behind the scenes, it presents itself as a film deeply rooted in the sport. But with all that behind it, the question remains: is this really for F1 fans or just made to look the part?

The effect of Netflix’s Drive To Survive on Formula 1 was seismic. The sport had stagnated, stuck in its ways, catering to the select few. Then the streaming giant ripped the curtain back on motorsport’s elite world and exploded its global popularity, driven as much by character arcs as championship points. Now, the hope is that F1: The Academy, produced by Reese Witherspoon’s Hello Sunshine for Netflix, can do the same for its all-female junior series

At first glance, a cybersecurity company and a Formula racing series seem worlds apart. One protects data, the other burns rubber. Then, you look closer, through the lens of progress and everything clicks into place: high stakes, high speed, and a desperate mission to break down barriers that were never meant to be permanent.

Formula 1 heads to Barcelona for the final leg of the European triple-header from May 30 to June 1.

Last weekend, under the glinting Riviera sun, McLaren delivered a masterclass in Monaco. Lando Norris stormed to his second win of the season, while Oscar Piastri clinched third place, enough to keep him at the top of the drivers’ standings. It marked McLaren’s sixth victory of the eight races so far this season.

It’s easy to pin Max Verstappen’s victory on his first lap heroics. That sweeping move around championship leader Oscar Piastri into Tamburello was textbook Verstappen. Opportunistic and clinical. But the win wasn’t sealed there. It simply was a starting point. The rest was about managing everything McLaren threw at him. His RB21 seemed to have just a sliver more in hand, just enough to keep the papaya cars at arm’s length. He didn’t disappear up the road; he didn’t need to.

Six races in, and yet another driver swap could be looming. Alpine is reportedly preparing to replace Jack Doohan with Franco Colapinto ahead of the Emilia-Romagna Grand Prix at Imola later this month. Driver changes mid-season often point to unmet expectations — but in Doohan’s case, whispers of his replacement began long before now. The moment Colapinto inked a deal with Alpine, the writing began to etch itself across the garage walls.

Twenty-four grand prix. Twenty-four cities. Ten months. One relentless race. Behind Formula 1’s glitz and glamour, an unseen army works in overdrive–pit crews dismantling garages, engineers poring over data, logistics teams orchestrating the next cross-continental move. For the mechanics, engineers, and staff keeping the sport running, exhaustion isn’t just a byproduct of the job–it is the job.

Formula 1’s Spanish heartbeat has pulsed through the asphalt of Barcelona-Catalunya for decades. But in 2026, the rhythm will shift. Engines will tear through the streets of Madrid for a brand-new event: the Madrid Grand Prix, set to light up the calendar for the next ten years.

F1's crackdown on swearing sparks debate, with drivers like Sainz arguing that passion-filled radio outbursts are essential to the sport’s raw emotion and authenticity.

The blue and yellow of the Barbados flag was displayed high as Zane Maloney stood victorious on the top step of the podium in Bahrain. Less than a year later, those colors adorned his gear once more—not in celebration of a win, but as he began a new chapter in Formula E. For young drivers, Formula 1 is the ultimate goal. Yet the “Boy from Barbados” made the bold decision to leave Formula 2 for an electric challenge.
