ANDREW VAN LEEUWEN<br />
EDITOR<br />
Welcome to the first issue of <strong>GP</strong> <strong>Gazette</strong>.<br />
It’s been a hectic last few months.<br />
Building a magazine from the ground<br />
up is no mean feat, particularly in<br />
the middle of a busy season. But, in<br />
typical Motorsport.com fashion, we<br />
did it, and we did it brilliantly (if I<br />
may say so myself ).<br />
Our goal is pretty simple; we want<br />
<strong>GP</strong> <strong>Gazette</strong> to become your brand<br />
new source of in-depth Formula 1 race<br />
analysis and exclusive feature content.<br />
Between the unrivalled editorial talent<br />
at our disposal, and our jam-packed<br />
Motorsport.com photo database, we<br />
have all the ingredients there to make<br />
something special.<br />
Which is exactly what I reckon<br />
we’ve done.<br />
We’ll be publishing every post-<strong>GP</strong><br />
Monday from now on, with a fresh issue<br />
of <strong>GP</strong> <strong>Gazette</strong> ready to by first thing<br />
Monday morning (European time).<br />
And, for the rest of the <strong>2016</strong> season,<br />
it’s even free; we’re offering a threeissue<br />
trial period starting right here<br />
with the Mexican <strong>GP</strong> edition.<br />
So enjoy the first issue of <strong>GP</strong><br />
<strong>Gazette</strong>. I’m immensely proud of what<br />
we’ve created, and sincerely hope<br />
our enthusiasm and passion for the<br />
project shows up on the pages.<br />

While Formula 1’s <strong>2016</strong> title battle<br />
remains wide open, many within<br />
the sport are already focusing on<br />
the great change that is coming in<br />
the future.<br />
New rules, new cars and new<br />
owners are all set to transform<br />
the sport we all love over the next<br />
months and years.<br />
Great change is taking place too<br />
in how fans consume the sport <strong>–</strong> as<br />
where once televisions, newspapers<br />
and magazines were the only way<br />
to get your F1 fix, now there are<br />
a multitude of websites and social<br />
media options.<br />
Motorsport.com continues to<br />
work hard to keep improving what<br />
it brings, and in <strong>GP</strong> <strong>Gazette</strong> we hope<br />
to add another dimension to the<br />
coverage of each F1 race.<br />
We hope you enjoy the free<br />
taster for the remainder of the<br />
season, as <strong>–</strong> like F1 <strong>–</strong> we plan bigger<br />
and better things for 2017.<br />
