What you can contribute
Contributions are incorporated into the existing archive rather than published as separate guest posts. Depending on your interests, this may include:
- Season stories — the genuine narratives and different lenses through which a season can be understood.
- Race flashpoints — the Grands Prix that changed, advanced or defined a particular story.
- Race context — short explanations of why a race mattered to that specific storyline.
- Other historical features — significant drivers, teams, technical changes or moments that deserve a place in the archive.
Your work will be credited
Every published contribution is credited to its author on the website. Your name will appear alongside the season stories and editorial work you help create.
A dedicated authors section is also planned for the future. This will bring your contributions together in one place and may allow you to link to relevant articles, websites or other work published outside F1 Archive.
Editorial requirements
The archive is built around historical accuracy. Stories must represent genuine narratives from the season, supported by the events that unfolded at the time. If a storyline was not a meaningful part of the season, it should not appear in the archive.
Contributors should be knowledgeable about the seasons and races they choose to document, and willing to research or verify details where necessary. Strong opinions and an emotive writing style are welcome, but the underlying narrative must remain grounded in fact.
Stories can, and often should, benefit from hindsight. A retrospective of 2007 can naturally discuss Lewis Hamilton in the context of the career he later built, even though that legacy was unknown during his rookie season. Hindsight should add context and perspective; it must not be used to invent narratives that did not exist.
