F1 Racing
F1 Racing is a monthly magazine focused on Formula One racing which launched in March,
1996.
The previous Editor, Matt Bishop, also used to write a fortnightly column for the website
of the weekly magazine Autosport (sister publication of F1 Racing). Matt Bishop left both
Autosport and F1 Racing in late 2007 to join McLaren and was replaced as editor of F1
Racing by the then executive editor Tim Scott, and later by Hans Seeberg, who is the
magazine's editor still.
In July 2005, F1 Racing celebrated its one hundredth issue; it continues to publish in over
twenty countries, and claims the title "The World's Best-Selling Grand Prix Magazine." In
the one hundred issues, Michael Schumacher had been cover feature over forty times — more
than any other driver — including the first issue in March, 1996. In February 2001, a
"Michael Schumacher Special Edition" was published.
Many well respected journalists and photographers contribute to the magazine. Such regulars
have included journalists Peter Windsor and Alan Henry, and renowned photographers Darren
Heath, Steven Tee, Rip (Ripley & Ripley) and Lorenzo Bellanca. Damon Hill was 'Guest
Editor' in January, 2000, which featured an interview between him and Michael Schumacher.
From the March 2006 issue to the February 2007 of F1 Racing, Max Mosley, then president of
the FIA, had a monthly column in the magazine.
At the 1997 Austrian Grand Prix, Darren Heath, an F1 Racing photographer, noticed that the
rear brakes of the McLarens were glowing red in an acceleration zone of the track. The
magazine discovered through investigation that McLaren had installed a second brake pedal,
selectable by the driver to act on any one of the rear wheels at the driver's control. This
allowed the driver to eliminate understeer and reduce wheelspin when exiting slow corners.
This system was entirely legal, but was an innovation, and hence gave McLaren an advantage.
While F1 Racing suspected what McLaren were doing, they required proof to publish the
story. At the 1997 Luxembourg Grand Prix the two McLarens retired from the race while in
first and second positions. This allowed Heath to take a picture of the footwell of
Häkkinen's car and the second brake pedal. The story was run in the November issue of F1
Racing and led to the system being dubbed "brake steer". Ferrari's protestations to the FIA
led to the system being banned at the 1998 Brazilian Grand Prix.[1]
