The British Grand Prix weekend was a big one for Mark Webber, made even bigger a few day afterwards as Red Bull confirmed him for yet another year in the team.
The Silverstone weekend started off very wet - then all was forgiven as the sun shone brightly for the race itself, which turned out to be an intriguing affair as Webber turned the tables on Alonso. 
There were a interesting sideshows including: the Maldonado vs Perez, Massa’s renaissance, Kobayashi’s ten pin bowling pitstop and no show by McLaren; plus all the bits & pieces that make up a grand prix weekend. We have all of it covered.

The Abu Dhabi Grand Prix was an amazing race, Undoubtedly the best of the year and right up there among the classics in the seven star setting of the Yas Marina Circuit.
Kimi Raikkonen took one of the most popular victories in recent memory. Sebastian Vettel drove the race of his life from the back of the field to third place and Fernando Alonso reduced the points gap at the top of the table to ten points with two rounds to go.
We have all the news, views and interviews from Yas Marina plus some of the best images seen this year, from one of the most photogenic venues on the calendar.

At the start of the season we had an unprecedented seven different winners in the first seven races. Now as the season rushes to a climax we have one young man looking to win the final seven races. 
Sebastian Vettel looks to be cruising to his third title in as many years as Red Bull. Kudos to Fernando Alonso for making all the right noises about never giving up, but in truth Ferrari is playing catch up.
In this issue we have: the Indian GP covered from top to bottom, news from the Raikkonen camp, Schumacher’s Indian sunset, Abu Dhabi preview and a pictorial tribute to Francois Cevert

Sebastian Vettel versus Fernando Alonso with four to go – and all the rest a sideshow. As it stands Vettel and Red Bull have the momentum and will be hard to stop. But, if anyone can stop Vettel it is the bull fighter from Oviedo, throughout the season he has defied the odds time and again.
We have all this plus a preview of the Indian Grand Prix, Schumi reflecting on his failed comeback, a chat with Ms Kaltenborn, McLaren musing about Lewis their favourite son, Vergne’s greatest race, Damon Hill back in the cockpit of an F1 car and other bits and pieces.

Sebastian Vettel tops the F1 world championship standings and looks to be heading for his third title. Fernando Alonso and Ferrari, are the only ones capable of preventing the German’s treble. Ironically Alonso is also hunting a treble. We have a bull fight on our hands. Alonso versus Vettel. In this issue we have the Korean Grand Prix covered from A to Z, including McLaren’s woeful weekend, all the drivers' views from Yeongam and a Big Picture tribute to Renault’s 200th grand prix pole position. Also making the headlines was Ferrari extending Felipe Massa’s contract.

The tide has turned and although Sebastian Vettel is still four points adrift of Fernando Alonso, he and Red Bull have the momentum with five races left to run while Ferrari is floundering. It’s Alonso versus Vettel, and it is war!
There are also some with an outside chance: Kimi Raikkonen, Mark Webber and the McLaren boys are out of it. 
This edition previews Korea while Japan covering from top to toe including: the first lap nutcase, a “bittersweet day” for Ferrari, Hamilton versus Perez, a big day for Kobayashi amid all the other great stuff.

The meat of this edition is the huge news regarding Lewis Hamilton, Michael Schumacher and Sergio Perez. Lewis is off to Mercedes, Sergio to McLaren and Schumie (hopefully) to the 

beach! 
We give you the blow by blow account of the sensational off-track news of the season, which is set to usher in a new F1 era as of March 2013.
We also preview the next round of the 2012 world championship title contest which resumes this weekend with the Japanese Grand Prix at Suzuka where another chapter of an incredible 

season will be written.

In its brief history on the F1 calendar, Singapore has always delivered drama and incident packed races and the 2012 edition was no different. It is always great to see Sebastian Vettel on the top step of a podium where he is genuinely at his happiest and most noble. Michael Schumacher grabbed headlines but for all the wrong reasons, Lewis Hamilton was the unluckiest guy on race day when he was forced to park with a gearbox failure, Fernando Alonso again popped up on the podium against the odds, Jenson Button picked up the pieces for McLaren. We have the weekend at Marina Bay well covered!

We mourn the passing of Professor Sid Watkins, but at the same time we salute the massive role he played in making F1 and (by implication) motor racing in general a much safer sport. 
We also salute the return of Robert Kubica to competition, after over a year of silence the former Lotus driver is back on the winning track.
Also in this edition we analyse the ‘Playstation generation’ of race drivers, report on three days of testing at Magny Cours, while keeping tabs on Alonso, Hamilton, Button, Domenicali, Kaltenborn, Heidfeld and of course we preview the forthcoming Singapore Grand Prix.

Italian Grand Prix came and went as if in fast forward mode, and thus ended the European leg of the 2012 season.
Lewis Hamilton left his personal sagas in his motorhome to deliver the kind of performance that has made him one of the most popular drivers of this generation. 
We have the entire Monza weekend all well covered and of course all the fringe acts, including: Vettel vs Alonso;  Perez or Massa; Hamilton plus Button; Raikkonen, team orders, slip-streaming, dark days, the crazy tifosi, podium jeers, apologies - another episode of the world’s fastest and most popular soap opera.

Formula 1 safety is again a hot topic after the dramatic Turn 1 incident at the start of the Belgian Grand Prix. F1 safety measures did the job at Spa-Francorchamps, so \"if it ain\'t broke don\'t fix it\" rather let\'s have a pat on the back for all concerned who made the most dangerous sport in the world safer than playing soccer.
In this issue we have every angle of the crash covered: the good, the bad and the ugly. 
Jenson Button\'s dominant victory is central to this action packed issue with bits and pieces on Grosjean, Maldonado, Schumacher\'s 300th and our regular race weekend reports.

33 days can go by very, very slowly. Formula 1 has enjoyed a month long break with fans, drivers and teams - itching for the action to get started again!
We look at Kimi Raikkonen’s chances of scoring his fifth win at Spa-Francorchamps. If it is anywhere he is going to score that elusive comeback win, it should be in Belgium.
Many are rivals keen to reel in Fernando Alonso’s points lead in the title race. We have pre-Spa quotes from most of the drivers.
F1 legend Niki Lauda has predicted: We can expect a spectacular weekend at Spa.
This issue explains why Lauda is spot on!

World championship points do not always give a true picture, thus with a little help from the experts at Auto Motor und Sport we have compiled our own report card for all 24 drivers on the grid. 
Fernando Alonso is easily top gun so far this season, but there are some surprises along the way as we rate each driver, comment on his performance and offer some advice to each of them.
We also have news on: Narain Karthikeyan, Pastor Maldonado, Nelson Piquet Junior and Mercedes.
We have a pictorial on the glory years of Juan Manuel Fangio and the Silver Arrows - 1954 and 1955.

Not the biggest edition of Grand Prix International, but with the world of Formula 1 in an enforced mid-season break, news has not been thick on the ground.
We have done our best to ascertain who is holidaying where, managed an interview with Ferrari\'s Pat Fry, have a revealing chat with Rubens Barrichello, Pedro de la Rosa talks about life at the back and interviews with Kamui Kobayashi and Sergio Perez.
News from Mercedes, Red Bull, HRT and to crown it all we have some top notch images from Red Bull’s showcar run in Copenhagen.
Not bad for a holiday edition we figure...

It’s been an incredible season so far, and paying tribute to it we have this 300 page special review of the first 11 races, coinciding with the (mandatory) mid-season break for the Formula 1 world.
The common denominator in all the races is Fernando Alonso, the Spaniard having scored points in every round and also tallying up three race wins and thus goes on vacation with a healthy - albeit fragile - 40 points lead. 
So kick back relax and enjoy our bumper holiday issue (#31) which  pays homage to a great season, and only half of it at that!

Lewis Hamilton and McLaren bounced back to win the Hungarian Grand Prix, McLaren reaching a major milestone on the weekend..
Lotus were close but not close enough, while rumour has it Kimi Raikkonen\'s in line for a drive at Ferrari in 2013.
On track the Iceman and teammate Romain Grosjean rubbed wheels as they battled for second place..
Fernando Alonso goes on holiday leading the championship but feeling uneasy.
We have all this well and truly covered, plus good reads on: Red Bull, Jenson Button, Bruno Senna, post-Budapest all drivers quotes, Big Picture on McLaren’s pole position milestone.

Every now and then in sport, a player or competitor grabs the headlines for all the right reasons and this season, in the Formula 1 world championship, a certain Fernando Alonso is doing everything right in a manner that is enhancing his legacy and delighting his fans.
The Spaniard, fresh from a superb victory at the German Grand Prix, leads the world championship title race.
We have all the drama of the German Grand Prix covered, plus: Vettel’s penalty, Hamilton’s 100th F1 race, Button’s renaissance, Schumi’s crash, Red Bull engine maps and also a look ahead to the Hungarian Grand Prix, inclu

Call it intuition or inside info, we know Michael Schumacher will be racing in F1 next year. He must stay! We dedicate this edition to the subject. Also for Schumi fans there is a visual feast of the 20 F1 cars he has raced so far in his career.
We have some interesting musings vis-à-vis Red Bull boys and the supposed Ferrari connection.
Lotus duo, Kimi Raikkonen and Romain Grosjean, chat about that win that keeps eluding them.
Top crashers so far this year, revealed in the Crash Test Dummies report.
And we have the German Grand Prix previewed from just about all angles.

It has been a news packed past seven days in the world of F1 starting off with our cover story: the London Grand Prix. Fact or fiction? Why is Bernie involved? Too many questions to ignore!
The silly season got going as contracts need signing and the top drivers lie through their teeth...
Our Big Picture feature is on Goodwood and some legendary F1 machinery in action.
Sadly we also have to cover the horrible news of Maria de Villota’s bizarre accident during a Marussia test. Credible sources claim she was able to call her father from hospital.... Maria get well fast!

Fernando Alonso is no stranger to momentous wins - one need only look back on his career at Ferrari for wins that defied predictions, starting with his first race for the Maranello squad...
He did it in Malaysia and now against all odds, from 11th on the grid. Maximum points and another remarkable tale for his legend.
On the other hand, Lewis Hamilton’s new found ‘maturity’ went AWOL after clashing with known brawler Pastor Maldonado. There’s a very fine line between hero and zero in F1.
We have it all covered in this visual feast of an edition.

We have had \'seven from seven\' and now F11 is gunning for an incredible \'eight from eight\' with a trio of very capable candidates vying for the honour of becoming the eighth grand prix winner this year- step up messrs. Michael Schumacher , Kimi Raikkonen and/or Romain Grosjean. 
The rest of the gang also give their predictions and previews ahead of the European Grand Prix weekend in Valencia.
Big boys Bernie Ecclestone, Jean Todt and Peter Sauber have their say on the state of play in F1 at the moment.
Ferrari give insight into the evolution of their once troublesome F2012. And so much more...

Incredibly, Montreal delivered the seventh winner out of seven races. Lewis Hamilton - love him or not - thrived on the script that fate dished out to him, dealing with the circumstances with a new found maturity.
It was also great to see the ‘new’ faces of Romain Grosjean and Sergio Perez back on the podium - the pair rapidly establishing themselves as part of the new force in the sport.
We take an in-depth look at the weekend in Canada with interviews with the top three, dissecting what went wrong with Red Bull and Ferrari, while reporting on all the Formula 1 news during the past week.

Felipe Massa is under huge pressure, as the destiny of his career in Formula 1 hinges on how he performs in the remaining races of the 2012 season. After a good race in Monaco the question now is whether Massa can sustain the momentum. In this issue we highlight the subject and let readers make up their own mind.
We preview the weekend ahead in Montreal, at a race track that tends to deliver contests of high attrition - hence our bent metal Big Picture feature.
We tackle the headline making stories, such as: the Red Bull floor and have a chat with Eric Boullier and plenty other good stuff...

Six from six or six out of six - call it whatever you wish - Formula 1 is rocking big time at the moment. Most recent winner Mark Webber barged his way into title contention with a supremely controlled victory on the mean streets of Monte Carlo.
On another note… It was very cool for Kimi Raikkonen to pay tribute to James Hunt with a replica helmet in Monaco. We do so to with a dozen pictures that hopefully capture the essence of that great character of a bygone era.
Plus Monaco reports and great photography from first practice to the podium ceremony and everything in between.

Our Monaco Grand Prix preview edition is akin to Sports Illustrated\'s fabled Swimsuit Edition - lots of flesh...
But then that’s what the Monte Carlo weekend is all about. The reason Formula 1 exists is epitomised by the glamour and excesses of the weekend on the Cote D’Azur.
The decision makers that affect and influence F1 all converge for the four days of handshakes, deals and hedonism.
Four days - yes four days - as Monaco is the only place where first practice day is on Thursday. No F1 on Fridays as the Monegasques do need a day to do their pre-weekend shopping. You got to love it, we do a

We have five different winners out of five grand prix races, and, of those, two who had never won before. First Nico Rosberg in China taking his maiden win after hundreds of attempts, and now Pastor Maldonado - 24 races into his F1 career - becomes Formula 1\'s latest winner thanks to his heroics in Barcelona - and what feel good story!
The guy who got the big bucks and bought himself into a team (like a certain Michael Schumacher did all those years ago) everyone has a go at the Venezuelan chap with the braces, until he showed he had the right stuff in Spain so much so that the sport’s top gun

Early May is always a bittersweet month, no matter what year, as we are confronted with memories of two fatal accidents which stole from us two of the sport’s most loved stars – Ayrton Senna (1 May 1994) and Gilles Villeneuve 8 May 1982) – we did our Ayrton homage in the last issue and this week we pay tribute to Gilles.

Two very different drivers, from different generations and totally opposite backgrounds, yet united by the fact that racing was in their blood.

We also have a most interesting Fernando Alonso ‘very unplugged’ piece as the Spaniard comes up with some talking point quotes when

This past May 2012 was 18 years since Ayrton Senna died at Imola. His legend continues to grow, aided by the recent release of the documentary on his life which has given a  new generation of F1 fans - perhaps unborn back in 1994 - insight into one of the greatest and most ruthless drivers in the history of the sport. 
Those of us who were around during his career will remember that he was not always the most popular guy among fans - his was a time when there was a huge British following of Nigel Mansell, a big French following of Alain Prost and Nelson Piquet split the Brazilian fans down the

Prior to the Bahrain Grand Prix world champions Red Bull and Sebastian Vettel were being written off. They simply were not the dominant force of a year earlier. In Bahrain the downfall theories went to shreds as Vettel bounced back to secure a hard fought and deserved victory. He also took command of the points standings, while his main rivals: McLaren, Ferrari and Mercedes faltered. The F1 circus heads to Europe with four different winners out of four races, and the closest contest in ages to enthrall fans. In this issue we take a look back on a controversial, but intriguing Bahrain weekend.

It’s is always great for F1 when a driver wins his first grand prix, a coming of age no matter how young or old the driver is - in this instance, after another action packed race, Nico Rosberg finally did the business. Rosberg’s victory in China for Mercedes on Sunday made him only the third son of a winning Formula One driver to triumph in the sport since the championship started in 1950. Graham Hill and Damon Hill, Gilles Villeneuve and Jacques Villeneuve - now Nico and Keke Rosberg. Both Villeneuve and Hill (of junior variety) went on to become world champions.... Enjoy our China edition.
