Hi friends,
The sun is out for the first time in months! That means Formula 1 season is nearly here!
Top Story of the Week: I’ve Been Busy
It’s been a fairly quiet week in Formula 1 news land, and I’ve been pretty busy with some upcoming projects, that I can’t really tell you about yet. But I can give you a hint: Prototype sportscars are pretty damn cool.
As a result I haven’t been able to find the time to really dig into any one topic before deadline today, so instead I’ll link to some of the other stories I’ve done in the past few months, that may be of interest to you – and then I’ll be back full speed in a week, when we should start getting the first teasers and leaks of teams’ 2025 cars.
