Thanks to those who posted. I subscribed to F1 Racing as a result of the comments made. I too like the technical side of F1. I wish I could just go to the bookstore, but I am about an hour and a half from one. Thanks again. |

I have to agree with Anthony, F1 Magazine is much more involved in the Jet Set aspects of F1. I prefer F1 racing as it tends to concentrate much more on the racing and the technical side. I have to admit though that I'm growing weary of everything being "mega." |

Do what I do, read both magazines for free at the newsstands! Seriously, I find that F1 Racing so far has the better articles.
Autosport is good, and it has all round coverage, from the famous to the obscure. I've yet to read Motorsport, as it's not carried by many bookstores yet, but yeah, I kinda like their classic racing focus.

I used to subscribe to F1 Racing a few years ago and I have read a few issues of F1 Magazine. It depends what you are interested in. You have to bear in mind that F1 Magazine is owned by Bernie Ecclestone and seems to have been created with the intention of squeezing F1 Racing out of the market. I know that F1 Racing journalists now have more difficulty getting paddock passes and access to the drivers/teams. F1 Magazine is great if you want to know where your favourite driver buys his shoes or has his hair cut. F1 Racing is great if you're interested in the more technical aspects of F1.
I subscribe now to Autosport as it is weekly. I occasionaly buy Motorsport magazine as I love the articles about older F1 cars and drivers. The best place for up to date news and opinions is www.pitpass.com.

I can't really tell much difference between the two. They have great photography, but otherwise the information is normally at least 1 race old by the time you get the mag. I prefer websites. |

I am wanting to subscribe to either "F1 Magazine" or "F1 Racing" but having only read one issue of each am unsure which is best. Do any of you have an opinion? Thank you in advance for your responses. |
