FIA launches pioneering medical guidelines to support driver health and wellbeing (FIA)
‘Developed in collaboration with leading medical experts, the guidelines are freely available and provide detailed guidance on the treatment and management of a wide range of health conditions. They are intended to assist drivers and National Sporting Authorities (ASNs) in making informed healthcare decisions, while also ensuring full compliance with FIA medical and anti-doping regulations. By publishing this extensive document, the FIA reaffirms its commitment to protecting and supporting the health, performance and development of drivers across all motor sport disciplines. The inclusion of condition management advice and guidance is also intended to ensure that, wherever possible, health conditions do not restrict participation in motor sport events, enabling widespread participation.’
Medical Guidelines for Drivers – PDF (FIA)
‘This material is a guide as to how medical conditions affect the ability to achieve medical fitness to compete and drive in competitions. Guidance is given for common conditions. Where a medical condition exists that may be incompatible with fitness to compete, always follow the advice of the treating doctor. Drivers should not undergo treatment purely in order to seek motorsport medical fitness certification.’
From viral to VIP: The TikTok that took a father and daughter into the F1 paddock (Aston Martin)
‘When Sadhbh took to TikTok to share her idea of getting her father, Kevin, a huge Aston Martin Aramco fan, into the Hungarian Grand Prix paddock with the team, even she admits to having slim hopes of the idea becoming a reality. But we see you, our fans, and all the incredible ways you support our team, so it was our pleasure to welcome both Sadhbh and Kevin into the paddock for a VIP behind-the-scenes experience at the Hungaroring on Friday of the Hungarian Grand Prix.’
75 years of innovation: How F1 has evolved since 1950 and where it’s headed (ESPN)
‘A lot has changed in Formula 1 since 1950. Today’s cars, full of advanced aerodynamic and safety tech, are unrecognizable from the originals. So, too, are the speeds, which now approach 230 mph. The 2025 season, F1’s 75th anniversary, presents an opportunity to look back on the sport’s evolution, progress charted in some of the most iconic cars in racing history – before the rulebook changes again in the months to come.’
D’Ambrosio on Camara’s F3 title win, growth with the team and what’s next for the Brazilian (F1)
”Honestly, I don’t think we could have hoped for better. This season started strong, he managed really well in the moments where things were more tense, and I think that the race that we saw today sums it up: fighting for a championship in the wet on a track that’s very slippery.”
This Honda F1 model costs more than a real car (The Drive)
‘Honda is collaborating with Amalgam to make a small run of hand-built RA272 Formula 1 car miniature models. The run will include 30 units at 1:8 scale for $28,995, and 300 in 1:18 scale for $1,735. So, not the kind of thing you should let your little nephew bash against your baseboard. But they sure do look gorgeous. The Japanese automaker is commemorating the 60th anniversary of its first F1 win at the 1965 Mexico Grand Prix with these art pieces. Each uses 1,600 ”precision-engineered parts” and comes with a signed certificate of authenticity and commemorative booklet from HRC President Koji Watanabe.’
Lewis Hamilton debuts a non-alcoholic mezcal under his Almave brand (Forbes)
”I stopped drinking for a year and felt great. But I remember being in these environments with friends, at restaurants with friends and everyone’s drinking, and I’m sitting there with a ginger ale.”
