Gary is editor and writer for ReadMotorsport. He has many years experience of sports writing behind him after deciding (belatedly) that the world of accountancy wasn't for him. His work has been featured on (among many others) BBC Sport and The Metro, where he specialised in all things Norwich City. He has written on many sports, including F1 for GPfans, the subject in which he now considers himself an expert. When not writing and editing he likes to go to the cinema and sip a lovely cold pint of Guinness (not always at the same time).
Formula 1 has never had more rules. That is probably unavoidable. The cars are faster, the teams are larger, and the margins are smaller than ever before. Yet weekends like Monaco inevitably raise an uncomfortable question. At what point does regulation begin to overshadow racing? Pierre Gasly’s frustration after the Monaco Grand Prix was entirely […]
Formula 1 remains motorsport’s biggest show. That much is obvious. The money is bigger, the audiences are larger and the drivers are household names in a way most racing series can only dream about. But if we’re talking about genuine uncertainty, genuine competition and genuine jeopardy, there is a growing argument that Le Mans now […]
Formula 1 practice sessions rarely generate major headlines. That is precisely why Williams’ latest decision deserves attention. The Grove-based team have confirmed that Luke Browning will take part in Free Practice 1 at both the Barcelona and Austrian Grands Prix, with the Williams Racing Driver Academy member stepping into Alex Albon’s FW48 as the team […]
With Barcelona on the horizon and racing continuing across two wheels and four, it has been another busy few days in the world of motorsport. Here is where everything stands heading into the week. Formula 1: What Monaco left behind The Monaco dust has settled, and the conversations that matter now are about what comes […]
Carlos Sainz’s frustration was understandable. After retiring from the Monaco Grand Prix following contact from Nico Hulkenberg and Franco Colapinto, the Williams driver described the incident as “borderline unacceptable”. Importantly, those comments were aimed at the on-track collision that ended his race, rather than the wider Williams project. That distinction matters. Sainz had been on […]
Charles Leclerc has endured enough difficult weekends recently to know that Formula 1 does not wait for anyone. That is why Ferrari’s planned Barcelona upgrade may prove significant not just for the team, but for a driver who needs momentum as much as lap time. Reports from Italy suggest Ferrari will introduce a revised aerodynamic […]
Denny Hamlin turned a chaotic NASCAR Cup Series race at Michigan into one of the most important victories of his season. The Joe Gibbs Racing driver won Sunday’s FireKeepers Casino 400 at Michigan International Speedway after starting from the rear of the field following unapproved adjustments after qualifying. It was Hamlin’s third win of 2026, […]
George Russell is entitled to feel hard done by. Over the last three race weekends alone, the Mercedes driver has seen a likely victory disappear in Canada, watched a strong result unravel in Japan and endured a chaotic Monaco Grand Prix that ended with him outside the points. Few title contenders would emerge from that […]
Monaco has never been a circuit that forgives mistakes. But for Max Verstappen, Charles Leclerc and Lando Norris, Sunday’s Grand Prix felt particularly cruel because all three arrived knowing they needed a big result. Instead, they left empty-handed. In a race where opportunities are already scarce, failing to finish is damaging enough. Watching key rivals […]
Monaco was supposed to be one of the weekends where somebody finally stopped Kimi Antonelli. If there was a circuit capable of disrupting his momentum, exposing a weakness or introducing a little uncertainty into the championship fight, surely it would be the streets of Monte Carlo. Instead, the Monaco Grand Prix delivered another uncomfortable reality […]
Ferrari team principal Fred Vasseur has returned to the Monaco paddock after missing qualifying on Saturday, allowing Lewis Hamilton and Charles Leclerc’s team to refocus on one of the most important races of the Formula 1 season. For a few hours on Saturday, Ferrari’s Monaco Grand Prix weekend became about something more important than lap […]
Alex Palou has spent much of 2026 making the extraordinary look routine. Four wins, four consecutive pole positions and a growing championship lead have left the rest of the NTT INDYCAR SERIES field searching for answers. Weekend after weekend, the Spaniard has found a way to stay one step ahead. Yet as the series heads […]
