Reporting
Flag & Clock's reporting starts from the primary document, be it a stewards' decision, a regulation, a result sheet or a company filing, and says what it changes.
The Weekend
Race-weekend coverage across F1, MotoGP, WEC, IMSA, WRC, Formula E and F2. Friday previews, qualifying recaps, race-day analysis, Monday tech reviews. What the on-track product told us, written within hours of the chequered flag.
- Cadillac led 181 of 191 laps at Monza, and a Toyota crew a lap down took the WEC title with one point
- Mercedes took the constructors' title at Interlagos on a day both its cars spun
- Marc Marquez won at Sepang by 4.172 seconds and goes to Qatar 44 clear of the absent Martin, needing 30 more than him at a round Yamaha will skip
Business reporting
Ownership, manufacturer programmes, budgets, strategy. The cost cap, the Concorde Agreement, factory-team economics, sponsor structures, the billion-dollar business of motorsport written in plain figures.
- F1 had booked 15/23rds of its season by the end of September, and its primary revenue still came within 2 percent of 2025
- Yamaha's Qatar absence turns on 'force majeure', a phrase MotoGP's 2026 rule book never defines for a team's withdrawal
- Perez's new Cadillac deal runs to 2029, the season the FIA cleared GM to start supplying its own engine
Tech
Regulations, engineering, and what they enable. Powertrain architectures, aerodynamic envelopes, energy-deployment systems, balance-of-performance, the rulebook as a competitive surface. What changed, why it changed, what it actually does.
Race to Road
How engineering moves from the paddock to the road. Hybrid systems, fast-charging architecture, materials science, suspension geometry, software calibration: the path from a regulated racing series to the car you actually drive.
Culture
Drivers, principals, fanbase, and the workplace of motorsport. The paddock as a culture unto itself. The radio dialect engineers speak. The longer arcs that don't fit a single race weekend but define the era.
