Formula 1 Deep Dives & Analysis
Get past the headlines. We break down the technical regulations, race strategies, and paddock drama that define modern Formula 1.
From understanding how DRS zones change overtaking dynamics to analyzing the latest aerodynamic upgrades, our comprehensive guides explain the sport’s most complex engineering concepts in plain English.r.
What You’ll Find in Our Formula 1 Coverage
The Pit Speed’s Formula 1 section is built around one idea: explain the sport the way engineers and strategists actually think about it, not the way headlines summarize it. That means breaking down the FIA’s technical regulations in plain language, walking through why a team called an undercut instead of an overcut, and putting driver contracts and team budgets in the context of the sport’s wider economics.
Coverage here spans three areas: race-by-race analysis of strategy and results, technical explainers on power units, aerodynamics and car design, and longer pieces on the business side of the grid, from cost caps to sponsorship deals. New articles are added as the season develops, with older explainers kept up to date as the rules change year to year.
