Formula 1 has today launched F1 Unlocked, a new free-to-use fan platform designed to bring fans closer to the drama and excitement of F1.

As Formula 1 continues to attract fans from around the world, F1 Unlocked marks the latest step to connect and engage with its rapidly growing fan base. The free platform offers fans the opportunity to get the inside track on the sport, with access to exclusive interviews and articles with drivers past and present, famous fans and F1 experts, and rare behind-the-scenes content from race weekends.

Fans who sign up to F1 Unlocked will be able to access in-depth analysis from pre-season testing ahead of the season opener in Bahrain, along with driver columns and the inside scoop of all the goings on inside the paddock.

Fans can also read an exclusive article from legendary sprinter and 8-time Olympic champion Usain Bolt, where he discusses his admiration for Sir Lewis Hamilton, the importance of being a positive influence off-track and his surreal hot lap experience around Circuit of The Americas with the Mercedes driver.
