James Hunt and a Hesketh in Holland. It all aligned 50 years ago when the future world champion pulled off one of F1’s most unlikely wins at Zandvoort, as Matt Bishop recounts
“An old man with white hair, in a suit, wearing dark glasses, in a dark office, with bodyguards all around.”
A third of the way through the 2025 F1 season, McLaren’s title fight is shaping into a psychological duel as much as a physical one — with one key element giving Oscar Piastri’s the edge over Lando Norris, says Mark Hughes
Prost, Fittipaldi, Stewart, Andretti, Mansell, Häkkinen and Villeneuve will be driving their championship-winning machinery
Over the next three years, Kyalami will be upgraded to Grade 1 standards, making it eligible to host a Formula 1 race
When Norris’s bold attempt to pass Piastri ended with a crash into the Montreal pitwall, it stirred memories of McLaren’s infamous 2011 clash between Button and Hamilton at the very same circuit, says Mark Hughes
Twenty years on from the infamous 2005 United States Grand Prix, Matt Bishop revisits how a catastrophic tyre failure, leadership deadlock, and political infighting turned an F1 race into a global embarrassment
Lando Norris’s wrecked McLaren was some metaphor for his racing aptitude over the last 12 months
