Until January 2001, the motor racing magazine section included the classic yet old Autosport, and the expensive and a waste of space on the shelf F1 Racing. Then the arrival of F! magazine, a monthly Formula One magazine costing a very competitive £3.50.

I am a F1 nut, and always want to find out the latest news about the World of F1 and the people involved in the sport. Unlike many other motorsport related publications, this magazine doesn't just look at the races and testing programmes. This magazine looks into the lives of people involved in the sport and enable the public to view this sport from another perspective.

Each issue contains many different articles and images. firstly, there are several pages oh pictures and comments from the latest GP, testing or social event. Then there are several pages of comments from many people involved with the sport, including Nigel Mansell and Eddie Irvine. Tere views and opinions are always related to current issues and never cease to provide the odd one or two light hearted joke on major figures in the current sport.

After this you have many interviews with drivers, merchanics and organisers about how they lead their lives and how F1 is such a major part of it. My personal favorite is the section looking at the technical specifications of these wonderful cars. After each event, the are evaluations taken about different bodyparts and how effective they were in enabling teams to score points at each race.

After the usual reviews of the race as a whole, there is a team by team evaluation - looking at how the weekend of racing was for both the front runners and the backmarkers. this allows many interesting facts come to light which the TV can't do justice too.

John Watson often does some high performance road car tests in each issue, allowing the readers to see what the car of their dreams can do on the road and on the track.

F1 Magazine is a great magazine, and can
be understood by both f1 nuts likemyself, and those who don't really follow the sport. For £3.50 a month you can't really go wrong and if you have the opportunity to read a copy, take it up because you will learn a lot about this very fast and exciting sport.
