Why Subscribe to Front of the Grid

Formula 1 generates noise at an industrial scale. Results, rumours, reactions, all of it arrives instantly and disappears just as fast.

Front of the Grid exists for something different.

We look at Formula 1 as a business: how it is owned, governed, financed and monetised and why those decisions shape what happens on track long before the lights go out.

A subscription gives you:

  • Thoughtful analysis of ownership structures, valuations and new entrants.

  • Clear explanations of cost caps, regulation and competitive trade-offs.

  • Context on sponsorship, media rights and why certain deals matter.

  • Insight into calendar decisions and the economics of hosting races.

  • End-of-season and mid-cycle reflections that connect the dots.

This isn’t race-by-race commentary or driver market speculation. It’s writing for readers who want to understand how Formula 1 actually works.

Subscribers receive:

  • Long-form pieces published around key moments in the season.

  • Essays that step back from the weekly churn.

  • A consistent, considered point of view.

No hype. No clickbait. No obligation to keep up every weekend.

Just clarity.

If you’re interested in Formula 1 beyond lap times, in incentives, structures and long-term strategy — Front of the Grid is for you.
