They are the first to achieve this since the championship's full integration with Formula E. Porsche has also secured five out of ten World Championship titles in the Gen 3 era.
- [How Lucas di Grassi pulled off his miracle win in Shanghai](https://motorwatts.co.uk/how-lucas-di-grassi-pulled-off-his-miracle-win-in-shanghai/): Lucas di Grassi, starting eighteenth, clinched victory in Round 13 of the 2026 Formula E season, marking his final weeks in the sport.

- [Where Has Red Bull Got These Regulations So Wrong?](https://motorwatts.co.uk/where-has-red-bull-got-these-regulations-so-wrong/): Red Bull's F1 season began poorly, sitting fifth in the Constructors' Championship with significant issues both in their new power unit and chassis performance. Max Verstappen's struggles, coupled with a critical lack of grip and failed starts, highlight their challenges. While some problems may be resolved quickly, others require a long-term solution.
- [Qatar 1812km Postponed: 2026 Season to Start at Imola Amid Middle East Conflict](https://motorwatts.co.uk/qatar-1812km-postponed-2026-season-to-start-at-imola-amid-middle-east-conflict/): The 2026 FIA World Endurance Championship season has been thrown into disarray after the Qatar 1812km, the planned season opener, was officially postponed due to escalating military conflict across the Middle East. The 6 Hours of Imola in Italy will now host the championship’s opening round. What Happened? The FIA World Endurance Championship has confirmed that the Qatar 1812km, originally scheduled to take place at the Lusail International Circuit from 26 to 28 March 2026, has been officially postponed until later in the year. The pre-season Prologue test, which had been planned for 22 to 23 March at the same venue,…
- [Where do all the teams stand heading in the new season?](https://motorwatts.co.uk/where-do-all-the-teams-stand-heading-in-the-new-season/): After six days of official testing across two three-day windows at the Bahrain International Circuit, the paddock has spoken, the data has been gathered, and we have enough of a picture to start building a genuine pre-season power ranking. Here is where every team stands, from the front of the grid to the very back, ahead of the Australian Grand Prix on March 8. Testing is a notoriously unreliable oracle. Fuel loads, tyre compounds, engine modes and deliberate sand-bagging make lap time comparisons between teams nearly meaningless in isolation. What pre-season testing does offer, however, is something arguably more valuable: a…
- [Everything that happened on Day 2 of the final pre-season test](https://motorwatts.co.uk/everything-that-happened-on-day-2-of-the-final-pre-season-test/): The penultimate day of Formula 1’s final 2026 pre-season test delivered one of the most technically fascinating and narratively rich days of testing in recent memory. Mercedes driver Kimi Antonelli topped the combined timesheets with the fastest lap anyone has managed in a 2026-spec car at the Sakhir circuit, setting a 1:32.803s that edged out Oscar Piastri by just 0.058 seconds. But the headline number almost played second fiddle to the story that had the entire paddock buzzing from first light, which was Ferrari’s sensational, regulations-exploiting, 180-degree flipping rear wing, revealed to the world in the opening laps of Lewis Hamilton’s…
- [Everything that happened on Day 1 of the final pre-season test](https://motorwatts.co.uk/everything-that-happened-on-day-1-of-the-final-pre-season-test/): There is a specific kind of tension that hangs over the final bit of free testing in any sport. It is the tension of running out of sanctioned preparation time, of knowing that the next time these cars roll out of the garage, the points will be real and the errors will be permanent. In Formula 1 in 2026, that tension arrived early, because the regulations are so new and the competitive picture so genuinely opaque that nobody, not even the people closest to the data, seems fully willing to claim they know who will win the first race in Melbourne…
- [What changes could be made to the Formula 1 rules before the start of the season?](https://motorwatts.co.uk/what-changes-could-be-made-to-the-formula-1-rules-before-the-start-of-the-season/): Two statements published by the FIA this week, one from the Formula 1 Commission, one from the Power Unit Advisory Committee, have set the paddock on fire before a single competitive lap of the new season has been run. Here is everything you need to know about what they mean and why they matter. The most complicated start to a season? Formula 1 has reinvented itself many times. The turbo wars of the 1980s, the ground-effect era, the V10 screaming years, the hybrid revolution of 2014, each upheaval reshaped the sport in its own way. But what is happening right now,…
- [2026 F1 regulations explained: Everything you need to know about the new era](https://motorwatts.co.uk/2026-f1-regulations-explained-everything-you-need-to-know-about-the-new-era/): Formula 1 has entered what it is calling, with no small amount of justification, the biggest regulatory overhaul in its history. New cars. New engines. New aerodynamics. New teams. New manufacturers. New rules for overtaking. Even a new fuel. If you’re feeling slightly overwhelmed by the scale of it all, you’re not alone. As Ferrari team principal Frédéric Vasseur put it: “The biggest challenge is probably that we are starting from scratch on everything, new tyres, new fuel, new engine, new chassis, new sporting regulations, new everything. The second Bahrain pre-season test begins this week, so there’s no better time to…
- [Formula E Jeddah 2026 round-up](https://motorwatts.co.uk/formula-e-jeddah-2026-round-up/): Pascal Wehrlein seized the Formula E championship lead with a dominant Race 1 win, before Antonio Felix da Costa answered with a strategic masterpiece in Race 2. The Jeddah Corniche Circuit hosted one of Season 12’s most compelling weekends, delivering two races of entirely different characters under the Saudi Arabian night sky. From a championship perspective, Porsche arrived flying and left with a bruise on one side of the garage. Jaguar, meanwhile, looked well and truly back in contention after a miserable opening pair of races. And somewhere in the middle of it all, a rookie apologised to the world, and…
- [TheBurntChip triumphs at Formula E EVO Sessions in Jeddah as Izzy Hammond walks away from high-speed crash.](https://motorwatts.co.uk/theburntchip-triumphs-at-formula-e-evo-sessions-in-jeddah-as-izzy-hammond-walks-away-from-high-speed-crash/): The line between digital content creation and professional motorsport temporarily blurred this afternoon in Jeddah, as Formula E’s EVO Sessions returned for a dramatic second season. In the event, TheBurntChip (Josh Larkin) claimed the crown, narrowly edging out Sidemen star Behzinga (Ethan Payne). However, the day was marked by high drama as Izzy Hammond, the daughter of The Grand Tour and Top Gear star Richard Hammond, walked away from a heavy collision with the barriers. Following a successful debut in Miami last year, Formula E returned with a bigger, faster iteration of EVO Sessions. The event saw two creator-led teams, Team…
- [Isack Hadjar to replace Tsunoda at Red Bull in 2026](https://motorwatts.co.uk/isack-hadjar-to-replace-tsunoda-at-red-bull-in-2026/): Recent developments in the paddock suggest that Red Bull Racing (and its junior outfit Racing Bulls) are preparing for a major overhaul of their driver lineup for the 2026 season. The principal change: Isack Hadjar is expected to be confirmed as the teammate of Max Verstappen, while Yuki Tsunoda appears likely to be dropped. Hadjar, 21, has impressed throughout his rookie F1 season with Racing Bulls. His standout moment came at the Dutch Grand Prix in Zandvoort, where he secured a podium finish, his first in Formula 1. That result, among others, significantly strengthened his case. In comparison to Tsunoda’s season,…
- [Mahindra commit to GEN 4 regulations](https://motorwatts.co.uk/mahindra-commit-to-gen-4-regulations/): One of the founding pillars of the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship has confirmed it is here to stay, as Mahindra Racing announced today a long-term commitment that will keep the Indian manufacturer on the grid until at least 2030. The deal secures Mahindra’s participation in the upcoming GEN4 era, set to begin in Season 13 (2026/27). The announcement marks a significant vote of confidence in the electric racing series from the only Indian Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) to have been present since the championship’s inaugural season in 2013. By committing to the next four years of regulations, Mahindra becomes…
- [McLaren disqualified as Verstappen reigns supreme in Las Vegas](https://motorwatts.co.uk/mclaren-disqualified-as-verstappen-reigns-supreme-in-las-vegas/): The neon glow of the Las Vegas Strip has always promised fortunes won and lost on the turn of a card, yet few could have predicted the seismic shift in the Formula One World Championship that occurred in the early hours of Sunday morning. On a night that began with a Max Verstappen masterclass on the asphalt, the narrative was violently rewritten in the scrutineering bay. A double disqualification for McLaren, stripping Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri of their hard-earned points, has reignited a title battle that many believed was reaching its conclusion. While the Dutch champion celebrated a controlled victory…
- [Andy Cowell set to be sacked by Aston Martin](https://motorwatts.co.uk/andy-cowell-set-to-be-sacked-by-aston-martin/): The glitz of the Las Vegas Strip has done little to illuminate the darkening mood at Aston Martin, where a season of disappointment has reportedly culminated in a boardroom execution. Just over a year after his celebrated arrival at Silverstone, Group CEO and Team Principal Andy Cowell is set to leave the team, a casualty of Lawrence Stroll’s ruthless pursuit of championship glory. Sources in the paddock confirmed to RacingNews365 and The Express on Sunday night that Cowell’s position has become “untenable” following a disastrous weekend in Nevada. The AMR25’s failure to score a single point under the lights of the Las Vegas Grand Prix…
- [Felipe Drugovich joins Andretti for 25/26 Formula E season.](https://motorwatts.co.uk/felipe-drugovich-joins-andretti-for-25-26-formula-e-season/): Felipe Drugovich, the 2022 Formula 2 champion, will end a three-year wait for a full-time race seat by joining the Andretti Formula E team for the upcoming 2025/26 season. The Brazilian will partner with former series champion Jake Dennis, completing a formidable lineup for the American outfit. The move marks a significant career shift for Drugovich, who has spent the last three seasons as the test and reserve driver for the Aston Martin Formula 1 team. Despite a dominant F2 title run and impressive performances in limited F1 practice sessions, a path to a Grand Prix seat never materialised. Now, the…
- [Is Max Verstappen really on a title charge?](https://motorwatts.co.uk/is-max-verstappen-really-on-a-title-charge/): Just a few short weeks ago, the idea of Max Verstappen securing a fifth consecutive Formula 1 Drivers’ Championship seemed more like a nostalgic dream than a genuine possibility. After a rocky start to the 2025 season, the Red Bull ace was adrift, watching McLaren’s Oscar Piastri and Lando Norris build what looked like an insurmountable lead. But following two imperious, back-to-back victories at Monza and Baku, the conversation has dramatically shifted. The question is no longer if Verstappen can win races, but whether this powerful surge can legitimately bring him back into the title fight. With McLaren and Piastri still holding a…
- [Christian Horner Free for 2026 F1 Return After Reported $100 Million Red Bull Exit](https://motorwatts.co.uk/christian-horner-free-for-2026-f1-return-after-reported-100-million-red-bull-exit/): The Formula 1 paddock is officially on notice: Christian Horner is a free agent. After months of negotiation following his dismissal from Red Bull Racing, Horner has finalised a settlement that not only concludes his two-decade tenure but also clears the path for a return with a rival team in 2026. The long-serving team principal, who was sacked in the days following this year’s British Grand Prix, has parted ways with the energy drink giant in a deal sources suggest could be worth as much as $100 million. The figure is understood to be a pay-off for the remainder of his…
- [Verstappen Capitalises on McLaren’s Baku Nightmare](https://motorwatts.co.uk/verstappen-capitalises-on-mclarens-baku-nightmare/): Max Verstappen took a commanding victory at the 2025 Azerbaijan Grand Prix, a race where his calm dominance stood in stark contrast to the chaotic weekend that unfolded for the championship-leading McLaren team. The title fight between teammates Oscar Piastri and Lando Norris took a dramatic turn, with Piastri crashing out on the opening lap and Norris struggling to a frustrating seventh-place finish. Held on Baku’s notoriously unforgiving street circuit, the 17th round of the championship was marked by high winds, a wild qualifying session, and costly driver errors. Verstappen’s flawless performance has reignited his title hopes, while McLaren was left…
- [Da Costa and Porsche to Part Ways After Successful but Strained Partnership](https://motorwatts.co.uk/da-costa-and-porsche-to-part-ways-after-successful-but-strained-partnership/): Porsche and Antonio Felix da Costa will end their three-season partnership ahead of the 2025/26 Formula E season, the team confirmed today. The split concludes a collaboration that yielded five victories and a coveted Teams’ World Championship, but which was frequently marked by internal friction behind the scenes. On the surface, the departure is an amicable one. In an official statement, both parties praised their shared achievements, which culminated in Porsche securing both the Teams’ and Manufacturers’ titles last season in London. Da Costa, a Formula E veteran and the Season 6 champion, was instrumental in that success, notably with his…
- [Formula E Set to Simplify Attack Mode Rules to Reduce Race Confusion](https://motorwatts.co.uk/formula-e-set-to-simplify-attack-mode-rules-to-reduce-race-confusion/): Formula E is poised to adjust its sporting regulations for the upcoming 2025/26 season, with key changes aimed at making its complex race formats easier for fans to follow. The most significant proposal involves reducing the number of Attack Mode activations during races that feature the new fast-charging pitstops. Last season saw the introduction of “Pit Boost,” a mandatory fast-charging stop that adds 10% of usable energy back into the car. However, when combined with the existing two mandatory Attack Mode activations—which require drivers to go off-line to gain a temporary 50kW power boost—many within the paddock felt the strategic elements…
- [Preview: 2025 Azerbaijan Grand Prix](https://motorwatts.co.uk/preview-2025-azerbaijan-grand-prix/): As the 2025 Formula One World Championship charges into its 17th round, the F1 circus descends upon one of the most unpredictable and electrifying venues on the calendar: the Baku City Circuit for the Azerbaijan Grand Prix.

With McLaren on the cusp of sealing a historic Constructors’ title and an intense intra-team battle for the Drivers’ crown, Baku is poised to deliver a weekend of…

Just a day after Nissan’s Oliver Rowland was crowned the new world champion, a new generation of hopefuls staked their claim in the 2025 Berlin Rookie Test, turning the event into a high-stakes audition that has left team principals with a tantalizing, yet complex, dilemma: stick with seasoned experience or gamble on raw, prodigious youth?

Mitch Evans was in a class of his own at the Tempelhof Airport Circuit, converting his pole position into a commanding victory. The Jaguar driver expertly navigated the treacherous wet conditions, leading for significant periods and managing his race to finish just under half a second clear of his nearest challenger. It was a deserved second victory of the…
- [Last chance to avoid the axe for these Formula E drivers?](https://motorwatts.co.uk/last-chance-to-avoid-the-axe-for-these-formula-e-drivers/): With Nissan and Cupra Kiro fighting at the sharp end of the Formula E grid, the underperformance of Norman Nato and David Beckmann has put their futures in jeopardy ahead of a decisive Berlin E-Prix. In the high-stakes world of Formula E, a team is only as strong as its weakest link. For championship contenders Nissan and the ascendant Cupra Kiro team, this axiom has become a painful reality. While Nissan’s Oliver Rowland is dominating the 2025 drivers’ standings and Cupra’s Dan Ticktum consistently punches above his weight, a glaring disparity in performance from their teammates is costing them invaluable points…

- [FIA Imposes Stricter Rear Wing Tests Ahead of Chinese GP](https://motorwatts.co.uk/fia-imposes-stricter-rear-wing-tests-ahead-of-chinese-gp/): In a swift response to footage captured in Melbourne, the FIA has announced an immediate clampdown on rear wing flexibility. The new technical directive will come into effect this weekend at the Chinese Grand Prix in Shanghai, as the governing body seeks to close a loophole that teams have been exploiting for an aerodynamic advantage.

These cameras, along with reference markers on the cars, allowed officials to closely monitor how much the rear wings flexed under on-track conditions. Based on the analysis of both the on-track…

The petition, which met all the required criteria and was filed within the 96-hour deadline, prompted a thorough review of the original decision by the Stewards. A key factor in the decision was the presentation of new video footage from the roll hoop camera that was previously unavailable. The video, which was downloaded from the Formula One cameras post-race, provided crucial evidence that wasn’t accessible at the time of the original penalty decision.…
