From leading an F1 team to becoming a brilliant pundit, let’s take a look back at his incredible career…

Welcome to ‘This Week in Motorsport’, the news column that covers all things racing from the past week. So, without further ado, let’s dive right into the action…

Welcome back to the series where I’m showing off where I went last year! Next up after Monaco was the incredible Spa-Francorchamps circuit for the World Endurance Championship.

For those of you who don’t know what WEC is, it is endurance racing over either 6, 8, 12 or even 24 hours in prototype cars like this:

What is it? Why do you need it? And why do I think it needs to change?

Yamaha’s fall from grace in MotoGP shouldn’t be surprising to those monitoring their progress, but why has it happened?

This is hopefully going to be the start of a ‘mini-series’ where I talk about all the different places I travelled to in 2024 to watch motorsport. I’m undecided whether this is going to be a review of the place I went to, or more just me trying to show off a little bit!

Motorsport relies on sponsors and commercial opportunities to not only thrive, but survive. So why does it feel like that is now the priority, rather than the racing? And why is it happening?

This whole idea was inspired by a podcast I watched the other night, where former Formula One presenter Will Buxton talked about his move over from Formula One to IndyCar. His decision to switch series caught many by surprise, including myself. He said one of the main reasons for the change was the opportunity to step into the commentary box, a role he used to do many years ago for F2 and F3.
