In the magazine: The secrets of the F1 cockpit

In this week's AUTOSPORT magazine, Mark Hughes looks inside the cockpit to find out what makes a Formula 1 champion, while Tony Dodgins wonders if Felipe Massa can return to his old form

Autosport Magazine

Autosport is the UK's must-read motorsport magazine! It is revered by fans and industry personnel alike as the ultimate source of motorsport news and analysis.

Our Grand Prix Editor Mark Hughes is renowned for looking beyond the basic headlines. This week he delves into the cockpit in a six-page feature to find just what makes a Formula 1 driver tick - and how those personality or driving traits can affect performance in any given set of circumstances or even era.

It also presents interesting challenges for the teams as they strive to find the characteristics in their driver line-up to cover all bases: McLaren looks to be strong in riches in this regard, with the polar opposites of Jenson Button and Lewis Hamilton on board.
