Welcome to Formula Flash, where your local sports column meets Cosmo wrapped up in a newsletter delivered to your inbox via the cool girl next door. It’s like “Drive to Survive” without the sensationalism!

Why subscribe?

In an era of TikToks and Instagram reels, the golden age of sports journalism is over. But, as a motorsport and environmental journalist with a sentimental side for the scoop-chasing ways of yesterday, I can’t quite shake investigative stories in favor of 30-second clips.

With original storytelling, Formula Flash dives into Formula 1's ties with everything from cryptocurrency to celebrity culture. Stay up to speed with motorsport news, race breakdowns, and features by subscribing.

Become a paid subscriber for long-form pieces or stick around free of charge for weekly race and news debriefs courtesy of The Undercut.
