Drivers: News, Stories and Tips for Motorsport Fans

If you love the sound of engines and the thrill of overtaking, you’re in the right place. This page pulls together everything we have on drivers – the people who push cars to the limit, the engineers behind the scenes, and the stories that keep the sport exciting.

What makes a driver stand out?

Great drivers blend raw speed with smart thinking. They train on‑track, run simulations, and spend hours analyzing data. A typical professional schedule includes on‑track laps, fitness work and video reviews. For example, our article on "How often do professional racecar drivers practice?" breaks down a typical weekly routine: a mix of real‑world laps, simulator sessions and physical training to keep reflexes sharp.

Another key factor is adaptability. Whether you’re racing a Formula 1 car, an IndyCar, or a rally bike, the driver must adjust to different grips, brakes and aerodynamics. That’s why many drivers start in karting or lower formulas – it builds a feel for the car that transfers up the ladder.
