All kinds of news about F1.

Can't say I agree with this at all. I'm a fan of the Monaco Grand Prix, I think it's a race that highlights the consistency of the drivers. To be able to complete a race weekend at Monaco without any mishaps in itself is a win. We get equally dull races at brand new Tilke-domes, will this become a new rule for the remainder of the season in 2027 if we get two thrilling Monaco GPs now?

I fear if this produces exciting Monaco GPs then it'll be deemed a success and the powers that be will begin thinking of other daft gimmicks to "spice up the action". That's the problem with modern sports and today's viewership. We can't have dull sporting events now and then. Everything has to be clippable for TikTok and turned into a Hollywood blockbuster production documentary.

I don’t mind this change, I doubt it’ll make much difference, but it does add an extra element to the strategy.

Not sure where to put this, but here's sim run on the finalised layout for Madrid. Seems they got Lance Stroll to do the driving for some reason...

It doesn’t look like there are any overtaking spots.

Has anyone heard the abomination that is the new opening credits song for Sky F1?



Anyone else feel the entire broadcast has just been diluted down to mass American market in the last decade?

I miss the old F1.

It's just another bit of music that doesn't really relate to the sport. The thing about the old intro using The Chain is that it built up like the start of a race. There was a connection to the idea of a building of tension and then the burst of energy at the start of the race. This song above is just a piece of pop that doesn't bring any of that tension/excitement.

I think that crap is only on sky f1.

Exclusive: F1's Bahrain and Saudi GPs are set to be cancelled this weekend due to the war in Iran

Adam Cooper
Updated: 13 Mar 2026

Confirmation of the cancellations of the Bahrain and Saudi Arabian Grands Prix is expected to come this weekend, according to sources in the Shanghai Formula 1 paddock.

The races have been in doubt since hostilities began in the Gulf region on 28 February, following joint US-Israel strikes on Iran.

Since then, the FIA and F1 have continued to monitor the situation in close co-operation with the Bahrain and Jeddah race promoters and authorities.

There are no plans to replace either event, leaving the 2026 world championship calendar at 22 events, with a gap of four free weekends between Japan and Miami.

While the safety of all concerned was obviously the priority, there are also always complex commercial considerations to be addressed around any F1 race cancellation.

It’s believed that the Saudi promoters were particularly keen to save their event, if at all possible.

With no signs of an improvement in the situation in the region and air travel still compromised, a decision had to be made in order to give teams and other stakeholders the opportunity to address logistical issues around freight and personnel travel, with thousands of flights and hotel rooms set to be cancelled.

An example of the consequences of the Battery Charging World Championship:

In Spain, 124,000 people watched the Japanese GP in 2025.
In 2026, that number was 63,000.

In France , 705,000 people watched the Japanese GP in 2025.
And in 2026, only 404,000 watched.

This and people getting out of F1 tv subscriptions is what can make things change.
