Formula 1 is once again widening it’s spectrum of influence – we are in for a treat to see the new race in Baku next year, and Germany is back on the map. This issue of Paddock magazine seems to be quite geographical in a sense that our writers take on various challenges in very different locations. A few examples: we’re organising an exceptional evening in Monaco, catching up with champion BMW female riders in South Africa, Australia and France, exploring the Indian giant Mahindra, opening the workrooms of a new Formula 1 team in the US, yachting around in Croatia, partying in Singapore and Abu Dhabi, spotting key people in Mexico, plunging into the digital world to see if a crowd-funded Formula 1 team is realistic and so on and on. Also, check out our bigger-than-usual columns & features section, with relevant insights from motorsport experts about what’s hot or not in the business of racing.
