Formula 1 news, results and opinion — made for India.
Pitlane Press India exists because the global F1 media covers the sport from a UK and European vantage point. We cover it from here: race starts in IST, where to watch from India, the Indian Grand Prix story, and the drivers India is rallying behind — from Arvid Lindblad on the grid to Kush Maini knocking on the door.
India's F1 fanbase has grown into one of the sport's largest. (Exactly how large is genuinely debated — F1's own 2025 review puts it at 78.8 million, while other estimates land lower; we'll always tell you where a number comes from.) What's not in doubt is the appetite. This is for that audience.
Our promise
- India-first: timings, context and stories framed for fans here.
- Honest: we flag what's confirmed versus what's speculation.
- Independent: a fan-made publication, finding its feet.
