We were initially acting out to be huge sceptics for such an ostentatious event pulling the essence of motorsport out of racing and pushing it forcefully into such entertainment gigs but boy oh boy were we blown out of our seats.

Jack Whitehall killed it all the way through with his spicy takes on even spicier agenda and topics currently in motion in the racing circuit. He went out big by going behind Max and Russel’s beef right at the start to going for the much heated swearing ban debate. He won the audience over immediately and his fascination over ‘Mike Krack’ will now never allow us to hear the mention of his name without having a chuckle.

The teams, too, brought their own unique flavour to the showcase of their 2025 "New" liveries. Aston Martin and BWT Alpine went all-in, with a James Bond-inspired video reel and a DJ set. Meanwhile Red Bull opted for a more subdued approach (not that they had much choice, given the relentless booing). In the end, the event exceeded expectations, leaving the crowd with a feeling that they wouldn’t mind seeing one or two more of these in the future.

Do tell us your feelings about the liveries by rating them out of 5!!!

This week has found the revitalisation of Max to Aston Martin rumours after he hinted at potential talks with the team brought to grid by Lawrence Stroll with the sole mission of bringing it head and shoulders above any other team on the grid. After bringing in Honda to power their cars from 2026 onwards and then getting Adrian Newey on board last year, Aston Martin seems to have put the action plan of their performance and aero design in place and the only thing that remains is a driver that can bring it home.

It must be the blind belief in Lance Stroll that he would bottle it even after have been given a rocket ship that Aston Martin grows desperate and ready to go to any measure to confirm Max Verstappen. Even going as far as 1 Billion dollars doesn’t seem to be beyond Lawrence Stroll. Christian Horner too have stated the open-ness between him and Max over any such conversation and trusting Liam with 2025 drive seems a piece in the puzzle called ‘RedBull without Max’. It will be interesting to see how things unfold between these two teams and will it prove to be the rise to the top for either of the teams.

In a shocking turn of events, our beloved Smooth Operator, Carlos Sainz, has been appointed as the new director of the Grand Prix Drivers’ Association (GPDA), stepping into the role previously held by Sebastian Vettel.

The GPDA made headlines last year for openly voicing drivers' frustration over increasing restrictions and harsh penalties. This issue isn’t going away anytime soon, especially with the FIA doubling down on one of its most controversial new enforcements—cracking down on swearing. With threats of huge fines and even point deductions, tensions are running high, not just among the drivers but also within the fanbase, who see the FIA’s overreach as a threat to the sport’s essence (making it clearly known by receiving the loudest boos at the mention of them).

Under Sainz’s leadership, it will be fascinating to watch how the GPDA pushes back against the FIA’s ever-growing rulebook. Just hoping that we get enough drama for this season- both on and off track!

A new season of the pinnacle of motor racing is upon us, but before we go lights out in Albert Park to kick off this spectacular season, we first witness pre-season testing—where all the challengers roll out their redesigned, refined, and perfected cars to mount the strongest possible competition on track.

The Bahrain International Circuit will host the three days of pre-season testing, offering drivers and teams fairly dry and consistent weather conditions, allowing for a proper evaluation of their run plans across different timings. Each team is permitted to run only one car throughout the three days of testing, meaning drivers must share the machinery.

While we don’t anticipate any radical redesigns this year, we do expect bold and daring risks from several teams as they push the limits to maximize performance and extract every last bit of time from their cars in this ever-closer competition on the grid.

Yes, the most exciting sport on Earth is finally unleashed again this weekend in Thailand. In a temple of pure passion and just over two weeks on from a memorable Season Launch in the capital Bangkok, it’s the start of a 22-Grand Prix season that promises more twists and turns than ever before.

A huge story throughout the second half of 2024 after it was announced, and then into the off-season, the pre-season tests and now the race weekend is the one that fans haven’t stopped talking about, and for good reason. Francesco Bagnaia (Ducati Lenovo Team) has a new teammate in Marc Marquez, forming Ducati’s very own dream team. This rivalry might just be the cover story of this year and following it will be a guaranteed thrill. With the debut of Pedro Acosta’s factory KTM debut and rookies like Ai Ogura, Fermin Aldeguer and Somkiat Chantra it will be fascinating to see how they carry on their job to deliver after an impressive testing season. Unknown potential of KTM and Yamaha will prove to be major talking points for the season and to make it even more exciting…

Today we dive in the history of British racing green that shines brightly on the Aston Martin car making it one of the most iconic liveries of the grid. British racing green emerged in the early 1900s. At the time Gordon Bennet cup, one of the first international motor races, required the cars to adopt national colours. As a nod to Ireland, where the 1903 race was held, British cars adopted the this dark green colour.
