For long-time Audi stalwart and Le Mans winner Allan McNish, becoming Audi's first racing director in Formula 1 feels like the natural progression of his storied career on both sides of the pitwall.

More than a week before the Dutch Grand Prix at Zandvoort, the Formula 1 world was abruptly awakened from its summer break.

The Cadillac Formula 1 outfit has confirmed that Graeme Lowdon’s dismissal as its team principal “wasn’t a mutual decision” - adding he was only told on the morning.

The Cadillac Formula 1 outfit has hired a new team principal, appointing Marcin Budkowski to the position instead of Graeme Lowdon.

The complaints have been rumbling since before the start of the Formula 1 season. Periodically they intensify, especially at so-called ‘energy-starved’ circuits where the ratio of corners to straights, and the type of corners, mitigate against the new-generation cars being able to recharge their batteries through the lap.

Few topics in the Formula 1 paddock have generated as much political debate during the first half of the season as ADUO, the Additional Development and Upgrade Opportunities.

While Aston Martin introduced its first major upgrade package for the AMR26 in Hungary, Honda will bring its first update of the 2026 Formula 1 season to Zandvoort.

Having started the 2026 season on the back foot, McLaren is showing signs of what made this iteration of the storied team so successful in the first place over the past two years.

Although Formula 1 models itself as the pinnacle of technology in motorsport, the governing body polices the guardrails carefully to prevent car performance from getting out of hand. That’s why many of the innovative solutions to the latest set of technical regulations are being legislated out of existence next season or have already been banned.

When the 2026 Formula 1 rules were introduced, the FIA frequently spoke about the so-called "nimble car concept".

Juan Manuel Fangio – 38y, 10m, 27d

Autosport: Let’s talk about your current role at Williams. Can you explain what impact you have on the car?

While Formula 1 insists - based on its own Formula 1 Fan Voice programme - that fans are enjoying the racing, drivers have been far more critical of the 2026 regulations so far.

Toto Wolff revealed that Mercedes is set to bring more upgrades in the second half of the 2026 Formula 1 season - but is "closely monitoring" when to introduce them.

Heading into Formula 1's major technical overhaul, expectations at Aston Martin were high. With a state-of-the-art factory in Silverstone, legendary designer Adrian Newey and a works partnership with Honda, all the ingredients for success appeared to be in place.

McLaren will race its version of the so-called 'Macarena' rear-wing concept – but not until an unspecified point in the future, according to team principal Andrea Stella.

With the first Formula 1 season under the new technical regulations approaching its halfway point, the summer break provides a good opportunity to take stock. The 2026 rules, with their much greater emphasis on electric power, have sparked considerable debate both in and outside the paddock.

Max Verstappen says he is "feeling good" about his place in Formula 1 as he detailed his mindset about Red Bull and the regulations heading into the summer break.

The 2026 Formula 1 season is shaping up how it was expected to be, with the development race deciding the pecking order as the campaign progresses.

Malaysia will end its nine-year absence from the Formula 1 calendar by making a long-awaited return in 2026, replacing Bahrain due to the ongoing Middle Eastern conflict.

Do Formula 1 fans care about battery status when watching wheel-to-wheel action? Not according to Stefano Domenicali, the championship’s president and CEO.

Halfway through the 2026 Formula 1 season, the new technical regulations – with a much greater emphasis on electric power and energy management – continue to divide opinion among fans and drivers.

Lando Norris claims he was “just better in every sense” relative to McLaren team-mate Oscar Piastri on his way to a resounding victory in Formula 1’s Hungarian Grand Prix.

Rivals claim Ferrari has the most agile chassis in Formula 1, if not the best engine or aerodynamics, so its SF-26 is generally expected to shine at circuits where straightline speed is less valuable than an ability to carry high speeds into slow corners.

McLaren team principal Andrea Stella has explained the Formula 1 squad's thinking behind its second pitstop sequence in the Hungarian Grand Prix amid frustration from Oscar Piastri over his run-in with backmarker Carlos Sainz.

Honda has announced it will debut its new Formula 1 power unit at an Aston Martin filming day this Wednesday at the Hungaroring.

McLaren driver Oscar Piastri was hugely frustrated by being hit by a lapped Carlos Sainz in Formula 1's Hungarian Grand Prix, but saw no bones in McLaren's strategy.

A sudden, unexpected wave of Formula 1 drivers ignoring blue flags in the Hungarian Grand Prix was caused by a system failure.

The Formula 1 Hungarian Grand Prix stewards have explained why they were more lenient with Carlos Sainz, issuing only a five-second penalty for his collision with Oscar Piastri.

Lando Norris has won his first grand prix of 2026 at Formula 1's Hungarian Grand Prix as early leader Oscar Piastri lost the lead due to lapped traffic, and then retired with a gearbox failure.

Sepang will host the Bahrain Grand Prix from 2-4 October, as Formula 1 returns to Malaysia for the first time since 2017.

Andrea Stella has never been one to be tempted down the path of hyperbole and hubris, so it came as little surprise that his response to Lando Norris securing pole position for the Hungarian GP came freighted with caveats.
