Just bought F1 Magazine published in the UK

A little expensive, but so far the best mag covering F1. It seems most mags on autoracing are from the UK. I suppose it's only fitting that the best mag for F1 is from the UK since F1 a UK product. Anyway, just thought I would pass along the info for those who follow F1.

BlackM5: What magazines do you read to keep up on F1?

I go through a couple websites everyday when i log on ! I first go to www.formula1.com then www.f1i.com, www.autosport.com, www.itv-f1.com, and lastly www.schumacher-fanclub.com to get some inside info on Ferrari.

I normally buy F1 racing and autosport... Since these are the only 2 F1 magazines you can buy in the US. But there is a new magazine out in the UK i think its called formula one or something. It is the best and has some serious technical stuff of team's developming their car and what they used over a GP weekend. They indicate to you small small things that this or that team is using and what advantage they are getting from it. It could be a real tiny flap near the front suspension and they say it is for better handling or cooling

Where do you pick up F1 magazine? The one I get (which I like) is F1 racing (who's website is, as Black mentioned, www.itv-f1.com).

Hmm, I should probably just subscribe to everything rather than trying to go on a magazine hunt at the beginning of every month.
