Sixty years ago, the Canadian-American Challenge Cup kicked off for big banger sportscars that could outpace Formula 1 racers. The first Can-Am era only lasted from 1966 until 1974, but it produced some of the most dramatic machines to hit a race track.

Kimi Antonelli has pulled off a sensational victory at the Italian Grand Prix, charging all the way from 19th on the grid to lead a Mercedes 1-2 at Monza. But right behind that historic drive, the fallout at Ferrari is dominating the headlines after a nightmare home race for the Scuderia. Kevin Turner and Jake Boxall-Legge get straight into Ferrari's torment in front of the Tifosi, unpacking Charles Leclerc’s race-ending crash at Parabolica and another baffling tyre strategy that left Lewis Hamilton helpless. They also dive into the Mercedes garage to analyse the tyre calls under the Virtual Safety Car, debating whether splitting strategies cost George Russell a win against his flying team-mate.

Former broadcast colleague and now Motorsport Network president JAMES ALLEN explains what made Murray so special. Murray Walker’s was a life extremely well-lived. He brought joy to tens of millions from Southend to Sydney and popularised the sport of motor racing for many generations. But what made Murray Walker the person and the broadcasting legend that he was? Fittingly for a man who was unique it was an exceptional combination of factors. First his heritage in the sport and passion for it. Like me, he was drawn in by a father who raced, in his case on motorbikes, and worked in the sport. He is known as the voice of F1, but Murray had a boundless enthusiasm for many racing categories and was equally at home providing the soundtrack to all of them. You have to be committed to travel the world and put yourself out there, race after race, year after year and Murray was still properly into his late 70s, when the relentless travelling inevitably began to catch up with him. Next was his ability to know what the…

In the last of our series selecting the best Formula 1 drivers of each decade, we’re looking at the 2010s. The decade started with Red Bull domination during the 2.4-litre V8 era before Mercedes took control with the arrival of turbo-hybrid power. With an increasing number of races, the tallies chalked up by the top runners were impressive. Current F1 journalist Jake Boxall-Legge is the guest assessing the ranking put together by host Kevin Turner. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

At the centre of the championship narrative is Andrea Kimi Antonelli, whose title charge suffered another setback amid growing pressure and a difficult weekend that raises serious questions about momentum in the 2026 season. Meanwhile, Ferrari emerged as the surprise standout performers, capitalising on a strong strategy execution and race pace to take a significant step forward in the Constructors’ battle.

The 1990s were a monumental, transitional decade for Formula 1.

Autosport's Kevin Turner and Stuart Codling break down a dramatic Monaco Grand Prix, analysing the biggest winners and losers, the latest FIA ADUO updates, and a race packed with controversy. The weekend belonged to Andrea Kimi Antonelli, who secured his fifth consecutive victory after Max Verstappen's race was compromised by engine issues at the start. The young Italian controlled proceedings from the front and held his nerve through a standing restart following Charles Leclerc's heavy crash and the resulting red flag. Monaco also delivered plenty of post-race drama, with investigations and penalties creating uncertainty right up to the chequered flag. One of the biggest casualties was Pierre Gasly, who lost a podium finish after receiving penalties, promoting Isack Hadjar to another impressive podium result despite driving an underperforming Red Bull. From Antonelli's title charge and Verstappen's setback to the FIA's latest technical developments and all the key talking points from Monaco, Kevin and…

It feels like our series on the top Formula 1 drivers of each keeps decade gets harder. More races and drivers make the selection tougher and the 1970s is no exception. As usual, we’ve considered many factors, including level of success, machinery at their disposal, longevity and how highly the drivers were rated by their contemporaries. Success outside the relevant decade is not considered. Perhaps the greatest absentee in this list is four-time 1970s GP winner Gilles Villeneuve. He was undoubtedly one of the best drivers by the end of the decade but was only just getting into his stride as the 1970s came to an end – be sure to check out our upcoming 1980s list if you’re a fan of the great French-Canadian… Learn more about your ad choices.

Autosport Editor-in-Chief Kevin Turner sits down with renowned motorsport writer Maurice Hamilton to revisit one of Formula 1’s most extraordinary flashpoints – the drivers’ strike at the 1982 South African Grand Prix. As tensions simmered between the drivers and the FIA, the introduction of controversial superlicence terms by president Jean-Marie Balestre prompted a united response from the grid. Led by Niki Lauda, the drivers took a stand that would see them barricade themselves in protest, exposing deep fractures in the sport’s governance and a breakdown in communication that defined the standoff. Hamilton and Turner explore how the dispute unfolded, the hastily brokered agreement that followed, and why confusion lingered over what had actually been resolved. The episode also reflects on the wider context of a tumultuous 1982 season, one overshadowed by tragedy. The deaths of Gilles Villeneuve and Riccardo Paletti, along with the career-ending injuries sustained by Didier Pironi, underscored the dangers…

The 2007 season was one of the most contentious in Formula 1 history, and the ‘Spygate’ scandal was its biggest story. In the latest of our new From the Archive series, experienced F1 journalist Maurice Hamilton – who witnessed the events in the paddock as they unfolded – and host Kevin Turner look back at the time when a Ferrari employee handed sensitive documents to McLaren’s chief designer, triggering a series of events that would also involve Fernando Alonso and result in the biggest fine in F1 history.

By definition, winning a Formula 1 championship requires excellence and a consistently high level of performance. But which are the best of the best from the 76 drivers’ title successes so far? When it comes to the crunch, we’ve favoured crowns won with cars that weren’t the best over dominant seasons. While pumping in win after win in the best car is harder than the greats make it look and some campaigns have been near perfection, there is something special about a fight against the odds, which pushes the drivers to dig deep, particularly when that effort is rewarded. Putting in a great season is about optimising the car and circumstances every time out – or close to it. If done with the best car, the result is win after win. But if done in a lesser machine, a bit of luck is sometimes required to get the job done – or some intra-team rivalry with your chief opposition… Kevin Turner is joined by Stuart Codling and journalist Damien Smith to try to put these epic campaigns into a top ten order.

In this episode of the Autosport F1 show, Kevin Turner and Stuart Codling break down a wild third round that saw Kimi Antonelli claim his second win of the season for Mercedes, officially becoming the youngest driver ever to lead the World Championship standings. But while Antonelli celebrates, the "new era" regulations are facing their biggest safety test yet. We dive deep into the massive 50G shunt between Oli Bearman and Franco Colapinto that has the paddock—and Andrea Stella—sounding the alarm. In this episode: The Silver Arrows Scuffle: How the safety car spared Mercedes from a very "public" conversation between Antonelli and George Russell. The "Autocorrect" Problem: Why drivers are frustrated with "mechanical algorithms" taking control of their power deployment. Max Verstappen’s Future: Red Bull is struggling, and Max is hinting at "life decisions" outside of F1. Is he actually ready to walk away? Best of the Rest: Praise for Pierre Gasly’s "under the radar" brilliance and Oscar Piastri’s near-miss at…

Motorsport fans know that the best performers aren’t always rewarded with a title at season’s end. Unreliability, misfortune, bizarre scoring systems and inferior equipment can combine to deny drivers even when they are at the top of their game. For this list, we have picked out Formula 1’s greatest all-season performances by drivers who didn’t win the championship. It doesn’t necessarily mean that the champions from those years were unworthy; it’s more about highlighting star campaigns that went unrewarded. We’ve taken into account the machinery at their disposal, standout drives, the amount of bad luck they had and the points they gave away.

For our latest Autosport Top 10, we’ve prioritised those performances in which the driver was denied through no fault of their own.

Making an immediate impact in Formula 1 can be extremely tough. As Cadillac and Audi – one a new entity, the other having taken over Sauber – prepare for their debuts, we highlight the best performances by new teams in the history of the championship. In the latest of Autosport’s Top 10s, host Kevin Turner selects the 10 best world championship debuts by teams, while renowned F1 journalist and author Maurice Hamilton decides whether or not he agrees with the ranking. For this list, we have focused on the very first grand prix for each team, rather than the whole season. We have excluded constructors that were well established when the world championship began in 1950, so no Alfa Romeo (1-2-3 on its debut) or Ferrari (second at Monaco).

Championship winners and cars with multiple victories on their CVs usually grab the limelight when it comes to the greatest cars in Formula 1 history. But there have been some fantastic machines that have narrowly missed out on ultimate glory. We reckon they deserve recognition, too. So, in the latest of Autosport’s Top 10s, leading F1 journalist Maurice Hamilton joins host Kevin Turner to debate and discuss the 10 best F1 cars that never took a title. We’ve excluded the Lotus 78 because it played a part in Lotus’s title double in 1978, prior to the arrival of the 79 (much more so than the 312B3-74 did in 1975), as well as the 1991 Williams FW14 due to its similarity to the gizmo-laden B version that dominated in 1992.
