Serguei Beloussov • Chief executive officer, Acronis

HOW NOT TO LOSE A RACE IN TWO SECONDS • Pitstops can shape the outcome of races but, equally, teams barely within sight of each other on track are fighting to be fastest in the pits. The attention to detail and potential for things to go wrong is just astounding

FORMULA 1’S PITLANE POLICE • How the FIA keeps F1 teams on the straight and narrow…

THE LIFE OF A FORMULA 1 SIM DRIVER • As the last rays of sun bathe Yas Marina on Friday at the Abu Dhabi GP, it’s a chilly winter midday in Brackley as F1 Racing enters the Mercedes F1 facility. For Stoffel Vandoorne it’s another shift in the simulator that will play an essential role in Mercedes’ race effort

FORGET ME NOT • It was sad to see Fernando Alonso leave Formula 1 with his McLaren-Honda ambitions frustrated; sad too for F1 to wave farewell to a double champion still operating at the peak of his powers. Fernando is gone, but he is not forgotten, and is working on plans to make a sensational return. It’s time to put the word out, and he wants F1 Racing to do it…

A TALE OF SEVEN TEAMS • Behind Mercedes, Ferrari and Red Bull there was an epic fight in 2019, featuring drastic swings in performance between teams which gives a strong indication of form heading into 2020 – and shows how tough it will be for F1 to eliminate its unofficial ‘Class B’

FERRARI 312B • A return to form that fell short of greatness

It’s my first day! say HI • After a year spent waiting in the wings at Mercedes, Esteban Ocon will back on the grid in 2020 with the team that gave him his break in F1. He started his new job in Abu Dhabi in December, and F1 Racing was there to watch…

FROM TIN-TOPS TO START-UPS • When the Haas F1 team was founded, Peter Crolla was one of the first people through the door. An eclectic career in motor racing had set him up for the task…

UNUSUAL F1 LIVERIES • Variety in Formula 1 liveries is rare, but occasionally some buck this trend, as these unusual ‘uniforms’ show

NIGEL ROEBUCK’S FORMULA ONE HEROES

THIS IS ZAK BROWN • As a teenager Zak Brown went to Indycar’s 1987 Long Beach Grand Prix and met one of his heroes. He asked race winner Mario Andretti how to get a job in motorsport. Andretti gave him some advice and thirty years later Brown has gone on to become chief executive officer of one of the most successful teams in Formula 1. This is the story of how he got there…
