About us

Behind the Paddock is an independent Formula 1 publication. We cover the news and every race, and the part of the sport most outlets skip: how people actually get to work in it.

What we cover

• News: driver moves, team news, rules and rumours, with every source named.
• Race reports: previews, reports and analysis from every round.
• Behind the scenes: the jobs in motorsport, and the people doing them.

Who we are

Behind the Paddock started in 2026, made by F1 fans for fans and anyone who wants to understand the sport better.

How we work

• We are independent, and not affiliated with Formula 1, the FIA or any team.
• We name our sources. When a story is a rumour, we say so and say where it came from.
• We fix mistakes in the open. Read our corrections policy.
• Anyone we write about can respond. Read our right of reply policy.
• Sponsored content is always labelled as sponsored.
