In Canada and the U.S., F1 has gone from niche motorsport to mainstream obsession in just a few years. It’s a shift driven by a new wave of fans who are remaking the sport's social media landscape and driving the call for representation.

Former Haas driver Romain Grosjean has spoken about whether he would consider a return to F1 after reflecting on the future of his career in motorsport. The 39-year-old last competed in F1 five years ago, moving away from the championship following the 2020 season where he endured one of the most horrific crashes in the modern history of the sport.

Formula 1 is set to head back to Portugal in 2027 after a two-year agreement was struck, marking another big step forward for the sport’s rotation plan. The country has deep ties with the sport, having hosted its first race in Porto back in 1958.
