F1 Correspondent Lawrence Barretto was at the Classic Car Club in Manhattan for the announcement and now delves into the details…

Red Bull Team Principal Christian Horner has explained why his team chose to enter into a technical partnership with Ford for the 2026 season and beyond, as opposed to continuing their relationship with Honda.

This season Max Verstappen aims to become only the fifth driver in Formula 1 history to win three drivers’ championship on the bounce, while Red Bull look to become the sixth team to claim six constructors’ title – but can they do it? The Dutchman weighed up his team’s chances at the launch of the Red Bull RB19 in New York.

Red Bull have kicked off their 2023 season by unveiling a launch version of the RB19, the car the Milton Keynes outfit hope will enable them to defend both F1 world titles.

Red Bull became the second team to show off their look for the 2023 campaign on Friday, as F1’s reigning double world champions held a special ‘season launch’ live from New York.

When Logan Sargeant pulls his visor down, engages first gear and drops the clutch on his Grand Prix debut for Williams in Bahrain next month, he will become the first American in eight years to have that honour.

PREMA Racing have announced that Filipino racer Bianca Bustamante will the first driver in their three-car line-up for the inaugural F1 Academy season.

The matter pertained to a loan that the current AlphaTauri Formula 1 driver took in 2018 from Schothorst’s investment fund Investrand to help fund an F2 campaign with Prema Racing.
The Dutchman had needed to raise half a million Euros for that season and with help from sponsors like Jumbo, he managed to get half of that amount. For the other half, he borrowed from Investrand.
