Formula 1 has expanded rapidly over the last few years, and is now on every continent but one. There is no Formula 1 race in Africa. The last time Formula 1 raced in Africa was in South Africa in 1993. Following the end of Apartheid in 1991, the circuit returned to the calendar for two more years, but was not renewed, and the race has not re-entered the calendar since.

With the 2025 season in the rearview mirror, Formula 1 is preparing for one of its biggest regulation changes in years. From 2026, the Drag Reduction System (DRS) will be replaced by Overtake Mode—a new hybrid-based system designed to change how overtaking works in F1. This new system uses power from the cars’ hybrid engines, not aerodynamics. Here’s all you need to know about the two systems, and what it means for us watching at home.

One of the biggest modern scandals in Formula 1 took place in 2008. A tough year at Renault saw the team take a risky gamble- asking one driver to crash to cause a safety car to be deployed, leading to their other driver finishing in pole. At the time, nobody batted an eye, but a disgruntled driver reported the move to the FIA, leading to a monumental collapse for Renault.

Unlike most sports, Formula 1 is more than just a day- it's a full weekend that culminates in the race day. For many fans, the race is the part that they pay attention to, and fair enough, but what happens over the course of the weekend is incredibly important in shaping the race outcomes. Let's break down how the Formula 1 race weekend works.

The 2025 season has officially ended, with the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix proving the deciding race for the 2025 Drivers' Championship. And while a three-horse race was an intriguing finish, the most exciting and controversial finish was the one at the 2021 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix. This was a year when the title challenge came down to the final race of the year, with Lewis Hamilton and Max Verstappen battling for the title.

We have reached the end of the 2025 season, and while Max Verstappen may have won the final race, it was Lando Norris taking home the championship. Now it's time for the 2025 Formula One Driver Rankings. We have assigned each driver a score from A+ to F- based on performance, taking into account not only individual performance, but also their car's performance.

After seven seasons and over 150 races, Lando Norris won his first-ever World Drivers' Championship title, marking McLaren's first win since Lewis Hamilton in 2008. In the 3-way title fight that emerged in the final races of the season, Norris held on to his lead in the standings to secure his win. Norris had to finish in P3 or better at the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix to secure a win, and did exactly that.

After months of speculation, sister teams Red Bull Racing and Racing Bulls have finally confirmed their driver lineups for the 2026 Formula 1 season. Both teams opted for major changes, with Isack Hadjar replacing Yuki Tsonoda at Red Bull, and newcomer Arvid Lindblad slated to fill Racing Bull's vacant seat. After entering the year as a rookie, Hadjar had an incredible debut season with Racing Bulls, and is capping off his success with a promotion to the organization's number one team.

It's here. The final race weekend of the season. Known for its long DRS zones and immense speed, the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix is a fantastic way to end the Formula 1 season. And what a finale it is going to be. Three drivers have the chance to take home the 2025 Drivers' Championship, with Max Verstappen trying to knock out the two McLaren drivers, Oscar Piastri and Lando Norris.

This has been a nightmare year for Lewis Hamilton. Not a single podium finish, fighting with the team and engineers, constant complaints about the car, Ferrari and Lewis Hamilton are off to a very inauspicious start. Hamilton may have one more race left in the season, but mentally, he's checked out. In every interview and press conference, you can just see he's finished with the year and is ready to go on vacation.

After a tense 57 laps during the Qatar Grand Prix, Max Verstappen emerged as the winner. A frustrated Oscar Piastri finished in P2 with Lando Norris finishing in P4 after an early safety car shook up the order. Following a crash from Nico Hulkenberg, the McLaren F1 team chose not to pit either of their drivers under an early safety car, despite the…

Heading into Qatar, there were some big F1 storylines to watch in every leg of the weekend. Here's where things stand heading into the penultimate race. Qatar sprint recap Heading into the second-to-last race of the season, the Qatar Grand Prix looks to be an exciting race with the top three separated by the slimiest of margins. Piastri's full eight points from the Sprint, combined with Norris and Verstappen taking six and five points respectively, has tightened the title fight further.
