F1 in Print: Autosport and F1 Racing this week
With F1 still enjoying a Lewis Hamilton-inspired boost in popularity following the season’s climax, the UK’s two biggest F1 magazines, Autosport and F1 Racing, are both leading with ‘isn’t Hamilton great?’ stories before the surge in interest dies away. Autosport’s front page shouts about ‘The Genius of Hamilton’, while F1 Racing proclaims that ‘Next year they won’t see Lewis for dust - our experts explain why’.
Autosport wins on the Hamilton front, with a four page feature on the British star and an interesting comparison of the debut years of a number of F1 greats. On the other hand, if you’re buying F1 Racing just for the Hamilton front page story, you’ll feel short changed as the ‘expert explanation’ is a mere 300-word sidebar within a wider feature about Kimi Raikkonen.
But for the definite end-of-season review and analysis of Kimi’s stealthy rise to the top of the pile, F1 Racing delivers as usual. And with the infamous Matt Bishop bowing out as Editor-in-Chief, you could even call this a ‘collectors’ issue’!
