I can feel autumn arriving soon. The nights are gradually drawing in, and the daylight is slowly fading. Everywhere I look, the signs are there. TikTok creators are sharing their autumn décor inspiration, and shops are swapping out summer styles for warmer clothes in classic autumn colours like browns, oranges and deep greens. It is becoming impossible to ignore that summer is winding down.

Of course, I absolutely love Formula 1 and some might even call me a fanatic, but I also have a real passion for the British Touring Car Championship.

Summer Holidays.

Guenther Steiner: The Man, The Myth, The Door. This legend is known throughout the world for his no-nonsense, straight-talking comic wit. From his early days working with rally cars, Günther has grown into a respected and iconic figure within the world of motorsport.

The Wild West, dusty boots, wide-brimmed hats, and a little ol’ liquor sneakin’ ain’t exactly what folks picture when they think of Liverpool. But sure as shootin’, tucked down a quiet side street behind a plain-lookin’ buildin’ sits an experience that'll pull you headfirst into a rootin’ tootin’ tale like nothin’ you’ve ever known.

So, on the back of an exciting weekend at Silverstone, I decided I wanted to try out one of the watch parties at the Hilton on their rooftop. I thought this would be a really cool experience and a chance to see how the other half relax and stay on race day.

As an F1 fan, one of the most thrilling experiences is watching a race live, and for me, Silverstone has always been the go-to track. Being relatively local, it’s the one I’ve visited most often — and it’s an absolute must-see for any Formula One enthusiast. This year was especially exciting, as Silverstone celebrated 75 years of Formula One, a milestone proudly showcased in a new exhibit at the Silverstone Museum.

What I saw, what I learnt, and why I’d go back in a heartbeat

As you’ve probably figured out by now, I’m completely in love with guinea pigs. From their tiny squeaky voices to their quirky personalities, what’s not to adore? Call me biased, but I genuinely couldn’t imagine life without them. So of course, National Guinea Pig Day is the perfect excuse to celebrate these little bundles of joy.

As a McLaren fan, this weekend’s race at Silverstone was intense. Supporting both Lando and Oscar is a rollercoaster of emotions, and trying to pick who you want to cross the finish line first is like asking a parent to choose their favourite child. But at the British Grand Prix, it was only logical who would get the loudest support — and it’s important they learn to share. You can’t win every time.

As a millennial who’s officially graduated from the wild party phase (don’t worry, I still enjoy nights out that don’t involve a strict 9 pm bedtime), I find myself drawn to new hobbies that help keep me somewhat sane. Spoiler alert: “somewhat sane” is the key phrase here.

Like many other Formula 1 fanatics, I’ll be making my annual pilgrimage to the British Grand Prix at the end of June. This year marks my fourth visit to Silverstone — and yes, while the ticket prices made my eyes water (I definitely didn’t rush to buy them this time!), the undeniable pull of our local track was just too hard to resist.
