This British magazine is a little (well, more than a little)pricey but it's an excellent, high quality review of F1 events, people, and races. It arrives in the US about one race late -so it's not the best place to get the "news," but the editorial staff does a great job staying on top of current F1 developments, rule changes, driver changes, and other controversies, so it still feels very current.
Overall it has the look, feel and content of a big budget production. Very good editorial content and great photos.The magazine is great! It hits the news stands in the U.S. a FULL MONTH before the subscription arrives so don't bother. I have a year (maybe 2 subscription) and I don't bother waiting for it anymore. The previews are then 2 weeks after the races are run. It's really appaling and it seems there's noone accountable. Typical really..... Great magazine. Windsor and The Bish know their stuff! Just get it at the newsstand
KS Malibu, CAGood writing, excellent photography, and a sense of humor characterize this stylish magazine. It is a must for any hardcore F1 enthusiast; and you have to be hardcore to pay $72 for a subscription in the US! This is not really a magazine one goes to for all the current F1 news (there's a bajillion websites where you can find that stuff); instead it provides in-depth coverage of political and technical issues as well as interviews with star drivers, team bosses, etc. I generally receive my copy a week or two after it is released in Britain; this is rather slow, but considering that the mag reaches most US newstands a month late, it's not so bad. The only criticisms I have of the magazine are that the editor-in-chief, Matt Bishop, seems to be a bit of an egomaniac who spends a bit too much time writing about himself in his pieces and interviews. This rather annoying approach is emulated by some of the magazine's writers as well. Overall, though, this magazine is a prize and worth its steep price.I bought this and I've got the July issue but the September issue is already on the newstand. You are always 2 issues behind the newstand. What a ripoff! They must buy the bulk leftover unsold newstand magazines and ship them third class to have them arrive so late. Go to the newstand if you want it. There is absolutely no customer service to complain to either. They won't give you an email or a phone number.Formula 1 is the pinacle of Motor Sport and this magazine is the pinacle of motor sport journalism. It includes indepth reports on everyone and everything related to F1. It will give you a much deeper and wider understanding of the sport. This is a great magazine that I have read cover to cover each month for about 2 years now. My only complaint is that it arrives about 2 weeks after it's publication in England, but it is worth the wait.
