Welcome to the F1 News Zone, the show where we take you through the biggest stories in Formula 1 right now. It’s a new year and we’re already looking forward to the start of the 2025 F1 season in March. For now though, here’s the stories keeping us entertained in the off-season.

This week, we react to the news that former F1 driver and current Sky F1 commentator Martin Brundle has been honoured in the King’s New Year’s Honours and we also celebrate the great Michael Schumacher’s birthday and ask if he’s F1’s GOAT. All that, and a whole lot more is coming up in today’s show!
