Not sure what happens from here.

It will be interesting what happens. I have noticed that there are a lot of ex Autosport staff now with Motorsport.com. I can see synergies between the two operations with some staff loosing their jobs. At the moment Autosport and Motorsport.com are two go to sites for factual information as opposed to stuff that has been fed to them or copy & pasted from elsewhere.

In recent times Autosport has become too F1 focused where as Motorsport.com has a broader coverage.

I hope it leads to even better content and more features, as it's a good source

Because, sadly, that's what sells. Whenever a non-F1 story was on the front cover, the circulation dropped.

Hopefully, they'll realise that F1 isn't the be all & end all of Motorsport.
