F1 V8 engines return 2030-2031 - FIA confirmed at Miami GP. Ben Sulayem explains the vote mechanics and why minimal electrification is coming back.

F1 2026 brought 50/50 hybrid engines, but drivers call them 'Formula E on steroids.' Viewership fell 43% in France while CEO Domenicali says F1 has no problem.

Albon's Miami sprint track limits breach in 2026 wasn't flagged until SQ2 had begun. Lawson lost the session, the FIA reform doesn't fix this gap.

F1 2025 attendance records: 6.7 million fans across 24 races, 19 events sold out. What the headline number misses — and what really happened at Silverstone.

Six years away. A five-year contract. F1 is officially heading back to Istanbul Park in 2027 — and this time it's not a pandemic stopgap. Here's how Turkey landed the deal, why Hermann Tilke's masterpiece could clash with the new 2027 regulations, and what the calendar shake-up means for fans waiting on Korea, Thailand, and Argentina.

The FIA just rewrote the rulebook before Miami — and the changes hit qualifying, the race, and the start procedure all at once. Super clipping is out. Dual-zone MGU-K is in. Honda's in trouble, McLaren rolls in as the championship leader, and Verstappen still wants more. Here's what to watch before lights out at Hard Rock Stadium.

After 13 years off the F1 grid, South Korea is pushing one of the most ambitious calendar comebacks in recent memory. Incheon has green-lit plans for a 4.96-kilometer street circuit through Songdo — 15 corners, speeds up to 337 km/h, and Hermann Tilke's fingerprints on the layout. Here's why Korean GP 2028 could finally stick where Yeongam didn't, and what still has to happen before lights out near Seoul.

What are the new 2026 F1 Sprint weekend rules? The updated format introduces flexible parc fermé rules, letting teams tweak car setups between Saturday’s short race and Sunday's Grand Prix qualifying. This means more aggressive driving, deeper strategy, and higher stakes for the six chosen race weekends.

Formula 1’s 2026 rules bring the biggest technical shake-up the sport has ever seen. They change how drivers overtake and plan races by replacing the old Drag Reduction System (DRS) with a new “Active Aero” approach. Instead of a simple “open or closed” rear wing like DRS, Active Aero lets drivers keep adjusting both front and rear wings to balance grip and straight-line speed.

As the 2026 Formula 1 season begins, the sport is stepping into its biggest change so far. The main question is how the new power units keep F1 fast and exciting while making a serious move toward lower emissions.

The 2026 Formula 1 rules are a full restart for the sport. They bring in a radical mix of smaller, lighter “nimble cars,” a 50/50 split between electric power and engine power, and movable wings known as active aerodynamics.

Formula 1, the high-speed global motorsport series that mixes advanced technology with driver skill and bravery, is owned on the commercial side by Liberty Media Corporation. This American media company bought the commercial rights to F1 in 2017, marking a big change in how the sport is run as a business.

The F1 Sprint is a shorter, high-speed version of a Formula 1 race. It is a 100-kilometer run, about 30 minutes long, where drivers push hard from start to finish. There are no mandatory pit stops like in the main Grand Prix. This format adds more meaningful racing to the weekend and gives extra points to drivers and teams.

F1 race length isn’t based on a simple time. Instead, it comes down to covering a set distance-measured in kilometers or miles-with strict time rules as backup.
