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 />

JONATHAN NOBLE<br />

EDITOR-AT-LARGE<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 />
