Aston Martin thankful Alonso and Stroll didn’t “slam us down”
Aston Martin team principal Mike Krack has expressed his gratitude towards his drivers after they mostly refrained from hitting out at their car’s lack of performance in the media. 2024 was a noticeably poorer season for the Silverstone-based squad after a 2023 campaign when Fernando Alonso was a regular podium contender.

How Red Bull’s previous dominance masked issues that it faced in 2024
Red Bull team principal Christian Horner has conceded the squad’s previous dominance under Formula 1’s ground-effect regulatory era masked «a lot of the issues» with its cars.

How summer downgrade saved Racing Bulls from complacency
A lot of attention has gone to Ferrari and the cursed Barcelona floor upgrade that sent it back to the drawing board over the summer, but behind the Scuderia in F1’s midfield RB suffered a similar fate.

The F1 record we’re unlikely to ever see again
Now that Valtteri Bottas is dropping off the Formula 1 grid in 2025, the unique record he shares with Lewis Hamilton and Max Verstappen is unlikely to be extended.

The «self-fulfilling injury» in Williams’s 2024 F1 crash-fest
Alex Albon says Williams suffered a “self-fulfilling injury” with the early season timesaving but weight-adding measures on its 2024 Formula 1 car, which led to additional crash damage. The British team’s 2024 season was blighted by crashes from start to finish, with its FW46 car also starting the year over the weight limit of 798kg […]
