Review Formula 1 2028

Seventy-nine seasons at the heart of Formula 1 history

The Formula 1 World Championship officially began in 1950, with the British Grand Prix held at Silverstone. Giuseppe “Nino” Farina, driving an Alfa Romeo, became the winner of the first World Championship race and the first Formula 1 World Champion at the end of that inaugural season. The calendar consisted of only seven events, and the championship was still at the beginning of its international development.

Review Formula 1 2028 covers this history across seventy-nine seasons, from 1950 to 2028. The book combines detailed coverage of the 2028 season, session by session, with a historical archive bringing together Grand Prix results, drivers, teams, manufacturers, circuits and essential statistics from every season.

This historical depth makes it possible to follow the major periods that shaped Formula 1: the early years dominated by Alfa Romeo and Ferrari, the championships of Juan Manuel Fangio, the emergence of major British constructors, the decades defined by Lotus, McLaren, Williams, Renault, Ferrari and Benetton, and the technological and sporting evolution that accompanied the arrival of the twenty-first century. The careers of champions such as Jack Brabham, Jackie Stewart, Niki Lauda, Alain Prost, Ayrton Senna, Michael Schumacher, Fernando Alonso and Lewis Hamilton provide key reference points throughout this history.

The circuits tell another part of the championship’s story. Silverstone, Monaco, Spa-Francorchamps and Monza have been among Formula 1’s iconic venues since its early decades. Over time, the championship expanded well beyond its European core to become a truly global competition, with Grands Prix across North America, South America, Asia, Australia and the Middle East.

The 2028 season continues the major regulatory transformation introduced in 2026. Changes to the cars and power units created a new technical generation, with further regulatory adjustments adopted for 2027 and 2028. The FIA has confirmed a progressive rebalancing between the internal combustion engine and energy-recovery system during these seasons. In 2028, the maximum output of the internal combustion engine is set at 450 kW, while the MGU-K can deliver up to 300 kW and recover up to 400 kW.

This period therefore represents a new chapter in Formula 1’s technical history. The 2027 regulations have been approved by the FIA World Motor Sport Council, while the adjustments concerning 2028 were ratified in June 2026.

Review Formula 1 2028 places this new generation within a timeline that begins with the first World Championship in 1950. The book goes beyond the champions, preserving the record of Grands Prix, results, participating drivers, teams and manufacturers, circuits and the developments that define the continuity of the sport.

The 2028 season is presented session by session, while the historical archive makes it possible to retrieve results and compare different eras. Readers can look up a Grand Prix, follow a driver’s career, find a team or manufacturer, compare seasons or trace the evolution of Formula 1 across several generations.

The calendar itself continues to evolve. The Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya is scheduled to host a Grand Prix in 2028 as part of an agreement providing for an alternation with Spa-Francorchamps from this period onwards.

Like the other Reviews in the Red Books collection, this book is not intended as a simple journalistic account of the season. It is designed as a physical, structured and lasting archive. In a discipline whose history now spans almost eight decades, the value of the book lies not only in the data it brings together, but also in the ability to preserve, consult and pass that information on.

With Review Formula 1 2028, the collection covers seventy-nine seasons of the Formula 1 World Championship, from 1950 to 2028, combining detailed coverage of the 2028 season with a historical archive spanning the complete history of the championship.

Seventy-nine seasons. Thousands of Grands Prix and results. Generations of champions, drivers, teams and manufacturers. An archive of Formula 1, from 1950 to 2028.
