Formula 1: News, Race Reports & Weekend Guides

Want fast, clear updates on Formula 1? This tag brings you race reports, team news, and short guides to help you follow every weekend without getting lost. We focus on the facts that matter: results, standings, driver moves, technical updates and what to watch next.

How we cover races

We publish quick race recaps right after the chequered flag, plus a short explainer on key moments — pit strategy, safety cars, penalties and game-changing overtakes. Expect a headline score, a brief recap of the standout lap or move, and what the result means for the championship.

Race weekend quick guide

If you’re new to F1, here’s an easy plan: follow practice sessions to spot pace, watch qualifying to see starting order, and tune in for the race for strategy and drama. Keep an eye on tyre choices and pit stops; they often decide winners. Use official live timing apps and team radio clips for real-time insight.

Points go to the top 10 finishers: 25 for first, 18 for second, 15 for third, then 12, 10, 8, 6, 4, 2 and 1. Fastest lap can add one extra point if set by someone in the top 10. Drivers' and constructors' standings update after each race and shape team strategies for the season.

We explain the big technical ideas in plain language: new aero parts, engine upgrades, and tyre rules. You’ll read why a wing change matters or how a suspension tweak can improve lap time. Team news covers driver swaps, contract signals and rookie debuts.

Races often run in different time zones. Check local broadcast listings and streaming windows so you don’t miss qualifying or the race. For live results, follow official F1 social accounts or trusted sports feeds. We also highlight African stories connected to F1 — talent, fans, and regional viewing events.

Prefer fast takeaways? Find quick previews, five-point recaps and what-to-watch lists that take under two minutes to read. These give you a clear sense of the big story and the next race without fluff.

When a race or rule change matters, we publish longer explainers and expert quotes to help you think about strategy and season implications. These pieces dig into data, but we keep language simple so anyone can follow.

Bookmark this tag for fast updates before, during and after race weekends. Send tips or questions — we read fan messages and sometimes use them in follow-up stories. If you love F1 or just want to understand it better, this tag is built for you.

Expect live timings, starting grids, tyre updates, interviews, and short video highlights. We also track rule changes and calendar updates so you're not surprised. Join our newsletter or follow CottonCandi News on social to get headlines pushed to your phone.

Have a question about a rule, driver or tech detail? Send it in and we’ll try to cover it in our next quick explainer or weekend preview. Stay fast, stay curious, enjoy racing.
