Editors Letter: Goodwood takes centre stage

2 weeks ago | motorsportmagazine.com | Joe Dunn

While the Formula 1 circus sweated it out in the desert heat of Bahrain, more eclectic grids lined up in West Sussex for the 82nd Goodwood Members’ Meeting. The fact that the gathering took place during a period of balmy sunshine before the British weather closed in again only added to the feeling that the event was a bright spot of the year so far.
The Editor: F1 merits a royal celebration after 75 years

2 months ago | motorsportmagazine.com | Joe Dunn

It’s going to be hard to miss Formula 1’s celebrations this year. Twenty twenty-five marks the 75th anniversary of the World Drivers’ Championship (as distinct from Formula 1 itself which was created four years earlier, as readers regularly remind us) and it will be doing so with all the glitz and hyperbole you would expect.
Berger: Lewis and Leclerc can win F1 title for Ferrari

2 months ago | motorsportmagazine.com | Joe Dunn

Ferrari legend Gerhard Berger has tipped Lewis Hamilton to help the team lift the F1 world championship in 2025. The Austrian star who became a fan favourite during his two stints at Maranello was speaking for the first time about his old team’s prospects for the new F1 season and his comments are likely to embolden an increasingly confident tifosi as the dream team partnership of Charles Leclerc and Hamilton becomes a reality ahead of the first grand prix in March.
The Editor: Ferrari’s statement of intent

Jan 27, 2025 | motorsportmagazine.com | Joe Dunn

Visitors to Ferrari’s famous HQ in Maranello have in recent weeks noticed an addition to the famous campus. It is a huge 42,500 square metre glass and steel factory building on the northern edge of the existing site which was unveiled over the summer. Ferrari refers to it as the E-building and it represents the biggest expansion of the marque’s factory for decades.
The Editor: Importance of saving old motor racing footage

Nov 25, 2024 | motorsportmagazine.com | Joe Dunn

How important is it to preserve evidence of past racing glories? On this, readers of Motor Sport and I will agree. One of the biggest and best investments we have made in recent years is digitising our entire back catalogue of magazines right back to 1924 and allowing subscribers to search for material via the archive section of our website. However, old film footage of racing’s past is in danger of being overlooked when it comes to preservation.
The Editor: Aston Martin’s F1 chances with Adrian Newey on the payroll

Sep 29, 2024 | motorsportmagazine.com | Joe Dunn

Jeremy Clarkson, strangely, called it early, when he said at the British GP that his fellow old Reptonian was house hunting in Oxfordshire, not Maranello. At the time the speculation about where Adrian Newey would end up going after he announced his departure from troubled was reaching fever pitch: a dream-team partnership with Lewis Hamilton at Ferrari? A romantic return to rescue struggling Williams? Sailing off into the sunset on his new Oyster 885 yacht… ?
Digesting the Fed: Rates Start to Fall Before the Leaves

Sep 23, 2024 | advisorperspectives.com | Joe Dunn

The Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) met this week and voted to cut rates by a half-percent, bringing its policy range to 4.75 percent to 5 percent. This decision comes after committee members had elected to hold rates steady at the preceding eight meetings after their hiking cycle concluded in July 2023. This vote also marks the first time in recent periods that a voting committee member dissented from the popular vote.
Ten-year F1 deal keeps British Grand Prix at Silverstone until 2034

Feb 8, 2024 | motorsportmagazine.com | Joe Dunn |James Elson |Dominic Tobin

The British Grand Prix will stay on the F1 calendar for at least another ten years, and Silverstone will remain its home after striking a ten-year extension to its current contract. With its current deal expiring this year, the new agreement gives the British Racing Drivers’ Club, which owns the circuit, more certainty than at any time in Silverstone’s history.
The Editor: Jackie Stewart’s surprising admission

Jan 29, 2024 | motorsportmagazine.com | Joe Dunn

It’s not often you can get excited about some scaffolding going up around a shed and workmen stripping out an asbestos roof. But last month the team here at Motor Sport managed to. The shed in question was the old premises of the Tyrrell Formula 1 team in rural Surrey.
'Time to sell Haas: Andretti F1 deal is obvious option now Steiner is gone'

Jan 10, 2024 | motorsportmagazine.com | James Elson |Joe Dunn |Damien Smith

So perhaps Komatsu can ‘do a Stella’ and turn things around to lift Haas from its unhappy current status. But he’ll know he has a hell of a job on his hands to get anywhere close to a McLaren-style revival. Haas is unique on the F1 grid in the way it operates and relies so heavily on Ferrari. That was Steiner’s doing of course, but recently and increasingly frustrations at the limitations the structure has imposed have bubbled over – to what was clearly an untenable point.
