Earlier this week, Aston Martin announced a partnership with British record label and house music specialists Defected. The pairing of motorsport and music is nothing new, but with a huge growth of fans in both F1 and house, the collaboration feels like it’s coming at just the right time.

Lando Norris is beaming. This isn’t uncommon as it’s pretty much his baseline, but the Briton’s smile and chirpiness is noticeably even brighter when we meet on the uber-cool boulevard of the McLaren Technology Centre for a chat.

Come the end of that term, he’ll have been with the team for 12 years, equaling the record stint countryman Lewis Hamilton had with Mercedes....

James Vowles believes that Carlos Sainz’s “unique” approach to racing has made him a valuable asset at Williams, with the team principal identifying his enduring competitive spirit as one of his strengths. The Spaniard took Williams back to the podium last season, but the team suffered a significant downturn in 2026, transforming from ‘best of the rest’ to scrapping towards the back of the field. While Sainz has been vocal about their issues, which included delayed development and an overweight car, he nevertheless committed to Williams with a multi-year deal to demonstrate his confidence in the team’s potential....

Last weekend’s Dutch Grand Prix had an air of finality to it, as the world of Formula 1 arrived knowing that, at least for the foreseeable future, Grand Prix cars will not return to the seaside circuit.

For Formula 1 drivers, retirement does not necessarily mean leaving the sport behind. Plenty swap the cockpit for the commentary box, while others become team bosses, ambassadors or driver managers - keeping one foot firmly planted in the paddock. But for some, life away from F1 has taken a rather different turn. Across the decades, former drivers have traded racing cars for everything from fishing trawlers and farms to DJ decks and even political office....

There were plenty of talking points to emerge from the final Dutch Grand Prix, but a key one involved the return of Yuki Tsunoda and his determined drive at the wheel of the Racing Bulls machine. Having lost his seat at Red Bull following a tricky 2025 season, Tsunoda had been on the sidelines as a test and reserve driver - but the Japanese racer took the opportunity to show what he could do when standing in for Liam Lawson, who in turn had been called up to substitute for an injured Isack Hadjar at the main team....

Ayao Komatsu has declared that Haas aren’t “in any rush” to settle on their future driver line-up, with the Team Principal eager to concentrate more on supporting Ollie Bearman and Esteban Ocon in performing at their best.

The Argentine arrived at Alpine as reserve in 2025 off the back of a strong debut with Williams, where he had completed the final nine races of 2024 as a replacement for American Logan Sargeant.
