There is a certain prestige that comes with the British racing green of the Aston Martin Aramco Formula One™ Team. The team exudes a level of sophistication that most of us can only admire from the safety of our living rooms. However, thanks to a newly extended partnership between the team and the memorabilia maestros at Memento Exclusives, that gap between the grandstand and the cockpit is getting significantly smaller. The two organisations have officially signed a multi-year extension, ensuring that the world’s leading motorsport memorabilia specialist will continue to produce industry-leading simulators, show cars, and authentic hardware for the masses. If you have ever looked at a modern F1 car and thought, “I’d love that in my lounge room,” this is the news you’ve been waiting for. The Ultimate Home Setup: The 2026 Motion Simulator Undoubtedly the stand out is the 2026 Official Team Motion Simulator. Not just a standard gaming peripheral; it is a piece of elite engineering built just 15 minutes away from the AMR Technology Campus. Using the team’s actual CAD (Computer-Aided Design) drawings, Memento Exclusives has recreated the chassis to ensure the ergonomics are identical to what the drivers experience on race day. The 2026 range has also been thoughtfully expanded. For those focused purely on the driving feel, there is the “X range,” while a new static wheelchair-accessible variation ensures that the thrill of a laps-per-second rush is available to more fans than ever before. More Than Just a Game For the collectors who prefer their memorabilia on a grander scale, the partnership also covers the Official 2026 AMR26 Replica Car. These are strictly limited-edition pieces, often seen at high-end partner events or in the posh confines of VIP hospitality. They are, for all intents and purposes, the closest a civilian can get to

EXCLUSIVE: F1 ACADEMY champion Doriane Pin on ‘learning a lot’ in new Mercedes role and working towards her F1 goal Reigning F1 ACADEMY champion Doriane Pin tells F1.com about how she is finding her new role as a Mercedes Development Driver and what the year ahead holds as she continues to work towards her dream of reaching Formula 1.

Now, in 2026, Pin is taking the next steps in her career – with one key milestone being her new position as a Development Driver with the Mercedes F1 team, a role that she will dovetail with a racing programme in the European Le Mans Series. It is clearly going to be a busy year ahead for the 22-year-old, meaning there is plenty to discuss as F1.com sits down with Pin during the Chinese Grand Prix weekend – with topics on the agenda including how she is finding her new role so far, what it has been like to work alongside the team’s drivers and the plans for her to get behind the wheel of an F1 car… ‘Fully taking’ the opportunity of new Mercedes role “I think it’s one of the first times I’ve come to the racetrack and I’m not driving, so it’s a kind of different feeling,” Pin admits as we chat on a sunny day in the Shanghai International Circuit paddock, with the weekend marking the first time that she will be observing an F1 ACADEMY race rather

Season prep, karting chaos and Monte-Carlo Masters meet-ups – what F1 drivers have been up to during early April Without any races this month, how have the drivers been spending their extra free time? Take a sneak peek into the life of the drivers off grid... With three race weekends complete under the brand-new regulations, and no racing on the calendar until May, the drivers have had the rare opportunity to review the opening chapter of the 2026 season – and to prepare themselves for what promises to be a thrilling return in Miami in three weeks' time. Despite the lack of on-track action, so far April has been anything but quiet for the drivers. From whizzing round local karting tracks, spending precious time at home with their loved ones, bumping into one another at sporting events, or even hopping behind the wheel to compete again – it’s not in the driver's nature to slow down! Staying ready Of course, the hard work never stops. Whilst racing has paused, the drivers are still clocking plenty of hours in the gym and the simulator as they concentrate on fine-tuning themselves ahead of May’s return to action in Miami. But for Franco Colapinto, April comes with an extra special item on the agenda. The Alpine man took to social media to announce a roadshow exhibition – a one-of-a-kind event set to take place on the streets of Buenos Aires. At the end of April, Colapinto will get behind the wheel of a 2012 E20 Formula 1 Car, an old Lotus with an Alpine livery, in his home city, in front of his home crowd – it's set to be something special!

Tucson's first sim racing lounge opens on Broadway Ignition Sim Racing, Tucson's first full-motion simulated racing experience, offers beginner-friendly sessions, memberships and monthly race nights for all ages. Tucson has its first simulated racing experience, and the family behind it is betting the city has been waiting for something like it. Located at 5460 E. Broadway Blvd., Ignition Sim Racing features ten purpose-built full-motion bays, each equipped with pedals, wheels and three display monitors to put drivers in the cockpit of a virtual race car. Sim racing uses high-fidelity software and hardware to replicate the experience of driving a real race car, from the resistance of the steering wheel to the feedback of the road beneath it. The family-owned business opened in February. It is operated by Isaiah Yonas, his brother and father, who have been planning the racing lounge for close to a year. They originally started with one rig they brought to car shows and recreational events, eventually expanding to a full storefront for anyone to enjoy. Simulated racing has been a longtime passion of Yonas and his brother. "We've always been into gaming, always been into cars and just kind of seeing the appreciation for the sim when we would take it out, we thought it would be a good idea to open one of these in Tucson," he said. Their goal was to create something everyone in the community can enjoy. "We think that Tucson definitely needs more stuff to do overall and that's what's great about sim racing is it covers such a broad spectrum of people," Yonas said. "It's one of those things where no matter what background you have, competition is most likely in you. This is just something new and exciting that everybody can get into, at all experience levels of driving

Max Verstappen delivers message to F1 fans that don't like him Change your timezone: Max Verstappen delivers message to F1 fans that don't like him Max Verstappen is a four-time world champion Four-time F1 world champion Max Verstappen has sent a message to fans about what he's really like off-track. Verstappen has cut a rather frustrated figure in the paddock so far in 2026, with his Red Bull team sat down in sixth in the constructors' championship and challenging in the midfield following the regulations overhaul. The new regulations have also been a cause of frustration for Verstappen, who has constantly claimed that the new cars are 'not fun' to drive in 2026. It has even been reported that the Dutchman is 'seriously considering' quitting the sport because of the new rules, and he has lots of other racing hobbies, including GT3 team ownership and sim racing. Now, Verstappen has claimed that he is misunderstood, telling fans that he does not mind if people don't like his 'straightforward' approach. In a video on F1's YouTube channel, Verstappen and the other drivers were asked: "What's one thing that people get wrong about you?" "I'm straightforward," Verstappen replied. "Maybe that's not always appreciated, but yeah, that's the way I am. And I mean it's very simple like, you can like me or not. I mean I don't force anyone to like me. That's life, you know." READ MORE: Shock F1 star at centre of Max Verstappen replacement talks Verstappen frustrations threaten to boil over While the fact that he's not enjoying racing in F1 doesn't help, Verstappen and Red Bull's struggles are really piling the pressure on the Dutchman.

The Logitech G920 Driving Force Racing Wheel and Floor Pedals is a full sim racing setup for anyone who wants to stop playing Forza or F1 with a gamepad and actually feel what the car is doing through their hands and feet. The G920 is built for Xbox Series X and S, Xbox One, PC, and Mac, and pairs a hand-stitched leather steering wheel with a separate pedal unit featuring throttle, brake, and clutch. Mounting clamps on the bottom of the wheel let you bolt it onto a desk or a dedicated racing rig without sliding around mid-race. Check out Amazon to buy the Logitech G920 Driving Force Racing Wheel and Floor Pedals for just $190, down from $330. That’s a $140 discount and 42% off. The best way to experience your favorite racing games with stunning authenticity The wheel has a full 900 degrees of rotation between locks. This is the same amount of travel most actual vehicle steering wheels have. So, when you make a very tight hairpin turn with this wheel, you will have to use hand-over-hand instead of just twisting your thumb to achieve it. While this takes some getting used to at first if youâve exclusively used a gamepad to race in the past, it adds a feeling of realism that canât be beat. Helical gearing inside the wheel base is modeled after the gearing used in actual car transmissions, which means the force feedback stays smooth and relatively quiet, rather than rattling and grinding as cheaper wheels do. A hall-effect steering sensor uses magnetic fields to track the wheel’s position, which holds up over time better than the optical sensors found in budget wheels. A lot of the realistic feel comes from the pedal unit. The non-linear, pressure-sensitive brake pedal will offer more resistance

Three grand for a handheld gaming PC. Let that sink in for a second. For context, that’s RTX 4070 laptop territory, or a solid desktop build with a 4060 Ti and plenty left over for peripherals. But here’s Lenovo with the Legion Go 2, asking premium laptop money for something that fits in your backpack. The PC gaming community isn’t taking this news quietly. The discussion started heating up when the pricing details surfaced, and the reactions have been… intense. “Lenovo hikes Legion Go 2 handheld gaming PC to almost $3,000 for 2 TB model” — u/PaiDuck on r/pcgaming That Reddit thread pretty much sums up the community sentiment. When your handheld costs more than most people’s entire gaming setup, you’re going to catch some heat. The original Legion Go launched around $700-800, so we’re looking at nearly a 4x price jump for the premium model. That’s not an incremental upgrade – that’s a completely different product category. The specs better be absolutely bonkers to justify this pricing. We’re talking about a device that needs to outperform not just the Steam Deck OLED ($649) and ROG Ally ($700), but also compete with actual gaming laptops in the same price range. A $3,000 gaming laptop gets you serious horsepower – RTX 4070/4080 class GPUs, high-refresh displays, and desktop-class cooling solutions. For handhelds, the value proposition has always been about compromise. You sacrifice some performance for portability. You get decent 1080p gaming instead of 1440p ultra settings. That’s the trade-off that made the Steam Deck successful – solid performance at a reasonable price point. But at $3K, Lenovo is betting on a different market entirely. This isn’t competing with budget handhelds anymore. They’re going after the premium segment – people who want desktop-class gaming in a portable form factor and don’t mind

A new week brings a new set of Gran Turismo 7 Daily Races, with three fresh events now live and running through next Monday. It’s a fairly standard week, with a one-make sprint, a Gr.3 middle distance, and a Gr.4 strategic finale, but the difficulty curve ramps up for Race C. Race A drops you into the Mercedes-AMG GT S around Tokyo Expressway East, and if that combination sounds like a recipe for chaos, that’s because it is. Four laps of the clockwise layout with twelve cars, unforgiving concrete on both sides, and precisely nowhere to go when someone ahead of you misjudges a braking zone. This one is almost entirely about slipstream management and staying out of trouble. Race B is the palate cleanser: Gr.3 around Deep Forest for six laps on Racing Mediums, a classic combo. The Porsche 992 GT3 R is a safe pick to be competitive, though Deep Forest’s elevation changes and blind crests tend to reward whatever you’re most comfortable with. Race C is where the week actually gets interesting. Eleven laps of Catalunya’s no-chicane GP layout in Gr.4, with 2x fuel, 4x tire wear, and mandatory use of both Racing Hard and Racing Medium compounds. There’s no minimum pit stop listed in the regulations, but with the compound rule in force you’ll be stopping at least once whether you like it or not. Fail to use both sets and you’re eating a penalty. The strategic question is when. Stopping early on the Mediums gets you onto fresher rubber ahead of the pack and into clean air, which can be worth a lot at a circuit where traffic in the final sector is punishing. Stopping late lets you attack on softer tires at the end, but risks losing time behind anyone who pitted before you.
