The 1990s were a monumental, transitional decade for Formula 1. The stars at the beginning of the decade were virtually all gone by its end, and the tragic weekend at Imola in 1994 led to significant rule changes that forever altered the sport. In this episode, Kevin Turner is joined by Autosport journalist Stuart Codling and ex-F1 driver and Sky F1 pundit Karun Chandhok to debate, select, and rank the definitive top 10 F1 drivers of the 1990s. To build the list, the panel evaluates each driver strictly on their performance within the decade. The criteria? Their level of success, the machinery at their disposal, their longevity, and how highly they were rated by their contemporaries. Who takes the ultimate crown? Does the top spot go to Senna, Schumacher, Prost, or Hakkinen? Hit play to find out where the legends landed, and let us know your personal Top 10 in the comments!

In the latest episode of our From the Archive series, host Kevin Turner is joined by Maurice Hamilton and Damien Smith – both were there on that day in July 1987 but had very different viewpoints.

Formula 1 gathered more momentum during the 1980s, its leading runners becoming superstars and manufacturer involvement pushing technology forward. There were many great races and top performers, but we’re continuing our challenge of selecting and ranking the leading drivers of each F1 decade. As usual, we’ve considered many factors, including level of success, machinery at their disposal, longevity and how highly the drivers were rated by their contemporaries. Success outside the relevant decade is not considered.

Autosport's Kevin Turner and Stuart Codling break down a dramatic Monaco Grand Prix, analysing the biggest winners and losers, the latest FIA ADUO updates, and a race packed with controversy.
The weekend belonged to Andrea Kimi Antonelli, who secured his fifth consecutive victory after Max Verstappen's race was compromised by engine issues at the start. The young Italian controlled proceedings from the front and held his nerve through a standing restart following Charles Leclerc's heavy crash and the resulting red flag.
Monaco also delivered plenty of post-race drama, with investigations and penalties creating uncertainty right up to the chequered flag. One of the biggest casualties was Pierre Gasly, who lost a podium finish after receiving penalties, promoting Isack Hadjar to another impressive podium result despite driving an underperforming Red Bull.
From Antonelli's title charge and Verstappen's setback to the FIA's latest technical developments and all the key talking points from Monaco, Kevin and Stuart bring you all the latest F1 news.

It feels like our series on the top Formula 1 drivers of each keeps decade gets harder. More races and drivers make the selection tougher and the 1970s is no exception.
As usual, we’ve considered many factors, including level of success, machinery at their disposal, longevity and how highly the drivers were rated by their contemporaries. Success outside the relevant decade is not considered.
Perhaps the greatest absentee in this list is four-time 1970s GP winner Gilles Villeneuve. He was undoubtedly one of the best drivers by the end of the decade but was only just getting into his stride as the 1970s came to an end – be sure to check out our upcoming 1980s list if you’re a fan of the great French-Canadian…

The 2026 Canadian Grand Prix will be remembered for its chaos, freneticism and a dominant fourth win in a row for Kimi Antonelli. Kevin Turner is joined by jake-Boxall Legge to analyse and dissect the action.
From the early race battle between George Russell and Kimi Antonelli, to the disaster that was McLaren. Midfield heroes who shone, and a certain Ferrari that didn't, and of course, another that did, with Lewis Hamilton's epic charge on Max Verstappen.
We also look to the next race, the jewel in the crown of F1, the Monaco Grand Prix and who should stand to gain!

Autosport Editor-in-Chief Kevin Turner sits down with renowned motorsport writer Maurice Hamilton to revisit one of Formula 1’s most extraordinary flashpoints – the drivers’ strike at the 1982 South African Grand Prix. As tensions simmered between the drivers and the FIA, the introduction of controversial superlicence terms by president Jean-Marie Balestre prompted a united response from the grid. Led by Niki Lauda, the drivers took a stand that would see them barricade themselves in protest, exposing deep fractures in the sport’s governance and a breakdown in communication that defined the standoff. Hamilton and Turner explore how the dispute unfolded, the hastily brokered agreement that followed, and why confusion lingered over what had actually been resolved. The episode also reflects on the wider context of a tumultuous 1982 season, one overshadowed by tragedy. The deaths of Gilles Villeneuve and Riccardo Paletti, along with the career-ending injuries sustained by Didier Pironi, underscored the dangers of the era and left an indelible mark on Formula 1 history.

The 2007 season was one of the most contentious in Formula 1 history, and the ‘Spygate’ scandal was its biggest story.
In the latest of our new From the Archive series, experienced F1 journalist Maurice Hamilton – who witnessed the events in the paddock as they unfolded – and host Kevin Turner look back at the time when a Ferrari employee handed sensitive documents to McLaren’s chief designer, triggering a series of events that would also involve Fernando Alonso and result in the biggest fine in F1 history.

By definition, winning a Formula 1 championship requires excellence and a consistently high level of performance. But which are the best of the best from the 76 drivers’ title successes so far?
When it comes to the crunch, we’ve favoured crowns won with cars that weren’t the best over dominant seasons. While pumping in win after win in the best car is harder than the greats make it look and some campaigns have been near perfection, there is something special about a fight against the odds, which pushes the drivers to dig deep, particularly when that effort is rewarded.
Putting in a great season is about optimising the car and circumstances every time out – or close to it. If done with the best car, the result is win after win. But if done in a lesser machine, a bit of luck is sometimes required to get the job done – or some intra-team rivalry with your chief opposition…
Kevin Turner is joined by Stuart Codling and journalist Damien Smith to try to put these epic campaigns into a top ten order.

In this episode of the Autosport F1 show, Kevin Turner and Stuart Codling break down a wild third round that saw Kimi Antonelli claim his second win of the season for Mercedes, officially becoming the youngest driver ever to lead the World Championship standings.
But while Antonelli celebrates, the "new era" regulations are facing their biggest safety test yet. We dive deep into the massive 50G shunt between Oli Bearman and Franco Colapinto that has the paddock—and Andrea Stella—sounding the alarm.
In this episode:
The Silver Arrows Scuffle: How the safety car spared Mercedes from a very "public" conversation between Antonelli and George Russell.
The "Autocorrect" Problem: Why drivers are frustrated with "mechanical algorithms" taking control of their power deployment.
Max Verstappen’s Future: Red Bull is struggling, and Max is hinting at "life decisions" outside of F1. Is he actually ready to walk away?
Best of the Rest: Praise for Pierre Gasly’s "under the radar" brilliance and Oscar Piastri’s near-miss at a win.
Technical Deep Dive: Why Ferrari is killing it off the line but struggling on the straights.
With a five-week break before Miami, the FIA and teams are headed to the boardroom to "fix" the rules. Will we see a different F1 in May?

Motorsport fans know that the best performers aren’t always rewarded with a title at season’s end. Unreliability, misfortune, bizarre scoring systems and inferior equipment can combine to deny drivers even when they are at the top of their game.
For this list, we have picked out Formula 1’s greatest all-season performances by drivers who didn’t win the championship. It doesn’t necessarily mean that the champions from those years were unworthy; it’s more about highlighting star campaigns that went unrewarded.
We’ve taken into account the machinery at their disposal, standout drives, the amount of bad luck they had and the points they gave away.
F1 pundit Karun Chandhok joins Autosport’s Stuart Codling to assess host Kevin Turner’s selection.

Formula 1 cars are very reliable now – even when new rules arrive – but there have been plenty of drivers robbed of victory over the 75 years of the world championship, and we’ve decided to pick out the best unrewarded efforts.
For our latest Autosport Top 10, we’ve prioritised those performances in which the driver was denied through no fault of their own. The circumstances of the defeat and the timing of the drama have also been considered, as have the overall quality of the drive itself and the significance of the failure.
Autosport’s F1 reporter, Stuart Codling, and author and journalist Damien Smith join forces to assess host Kevin Turner’s ranking. What did he get right and wrong?

Making an immediate impact in Formula 1 can be extremely tough. As Cadillac and Audi – one a new entity, the other having taken over Sauber – prepare for their debuts, we highlight the best performances by new teams in the history of the championship.
In the latest of Autosport’s Top 10s, host Kevin Turner selects the 10 best world championship debuts by teams, while renowned F1 journalist and author Maurice Hamilton decides whether or not he agrees with the ranking.
For this list, we have focused on the very first grand prix for each team, rather than the whole season. We have excluded constructors that were well established when the world championship began in 1950, so no Alfa Romeo (1-2-3 on its debut) or Ferrari (second at Monaco).

Championship winners and cars with multiple victories on their CVs usually grab the limelight when it comes to the greatest cars in Formula 1 history. But there have been some fantastic machines that have narrowly missed out on ultimate glory.
We reckon they deserve recognition, too. So, in the latest of Autosport’s Top 10s, leading F1 journalist Maurice Hamilton joins host Kevin Turner to debate and discuss the 10 best F1 cars that never took a title.
We’ve excluded the Lotus 78 because it played a part in Lotus’s title double in 1978, prior to the arrival of the 79 (much more so than the 312B3-74 did in 1975), as well as the 1991 Williams FW14 due to its similarity to the gizmo-laden B version that dominated in 1992.
