We’d like to the take the opportunity to not only wish all our readers and partners a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year, but we’d also like to thank you for your continued support.
This year has been a great one on track, but also for The F1 Times. Our readership has grown substantially, as has our following on Twitter and Facebook, allowing us to engage with our readers like never before.
We couldn’t have done this without the hard work of our writers and partners including Craig and Leanne Boon at Octane Photographic, Graham Keilloh, Lukáš Redl, Ernie Black and Marc Priestley.
Which brings us to 2015. Hopefully we’ll enjoy greater on-track action – with more than just two fighting it out at the top – and we hope more of you can join us for the ride.
We have some exciting plans for next year, which not only includes an updated and improved website, but a new name. The F1 Times has served us well, it’s become a name known up and down the paddock, but it has limited us to covering just Formula 1.
That’s not necessarily a bad thing – it is our passion after all – and for the short-term we’ll continue to cover just F1, but changing our name gives us the freedom to expand should we need to.
It will also provide us greater freedom. As many will know, the F1 name is trademarked and highly protected by Formula One Management. Whilst they’ve never had a problem with us using it, it has limited us somewhat.
So in January, alongside the new car launches, we’ll also be launching our new website and our new name, so keep an eye out!
Wishing you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year,
Ryan Wood
