    Advantages Advantages Good for F1 obsessives; glossy; good photographs

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Expensive; news not current

    F1 Racing is 'the world's best selling Formula One magazine'. As much as they like to portray themselves as this, it's hardly a great claim because as far as I am aware it's the only one that's sold in various countries throughout the world! The magazine has been going since 1996. I started buying it in mid-1998, and have done so on and off since then. I have about 130 issues or so, including the latest issue (April 2012) which popped through my letterbox today (I have had a subscription for the past 2 years). COVER AND CONTENTS I will base this review on the current issue. The cover star is ... more

    Advantages Advantages Great photography

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Not so great content

    F1 Racing Magazine is, you guessed it, a magazine devoted to Formula 1. It’s a monthly magazine priced at £3.50 an issue, which is a little expensive compared to some of the more general motor sport magazines, but to me isn’t too bad. That said, other than this magazine, the only other mags I buy are computer related ones, which often come in at around £5 each. For your £3.50 you get a reasonable read - Jenson Button and James Allen are both columnists, Murray Walker does the odd interview and preview style feature, and there’s plenty of ‘showdown’ things - comparing team mates / rival teams ... more

    Advantages Advantages Cheap at 3-50 a month, avaliable all over the world

    Disadvantages Disadvantages the last few months have been a Michael Scumacher whitewash of the front page

    The middle of every month, I hear the thud of paper on doormat and i know instantly that my Monthly F1 racing magazine has arrived. 160 pages of colourful news, expert interviews and global speculation, all wrapped up in a glosy and colourful package. Top photographers from around the world bring fantastic pictures, and an expert panel of editors and reporters, including Murray Walker, James Allen, Damon Hill,Matt Bishop, and driver reviews from Jenson Button, Rubens Barrichello, and Alex Wurz to name but a few. Each month a comprehensive news roundup is presented in a clear and humourous at ... more

    Advantages Advantages Amazing photography and plenty of content

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Only once a month

    This magazine does exactly what it says on the tin. It is by far in my opinion the best magazine for all you need to know about Formula one. I do wish that maybe it would be fortnightly as sometimes it does feel like there has been so much going on between issues. Each magazine has all the latest news and gossip, there is plenty of technical information, all new upgrades to the cars are explained and photographed allowing the readers to understand ups or slumps in performance a little better. F1 Racing does some great interviews not only with the Drivers but also with Key staff from within ... more

    Advantages Advantages A detailed insight from the people that know it best.

    Disadvantages Disadvantages A little expensive and lacking in ideas.

    When you first pick up the magazine, you know you're in for a treat. The glossy cover is so inviting, with catchy article titles and the promise of some interesting gossip. The first few pages are some amazing photography capturing the essence of Formula 1 - the beauty of the machines and the quality of the speed. But once you get past that, there is very little to actually keep you reading. There are plenty of expert columns which are very interesting. There are a few detailed articles that go in-depth into the psyche of one of the latest drivers, mechanics, team principals. And there's ... more
