About HotLapHub
Built by fans who read the timing screens.
HotLapHub started in 2019 as a shared spreadsheet between four friends who wanted to know why a pit stop lost a race, not just that it did. It became a magazine because the answers were longer than a spreadsheet cell.
Today we publish race reports, technical explainers and race weekend guides across Formula 1, MotoGP, the WEC and the WRC. Every number is checked against timing data. Every opinion belongs to the person who wrote it.

Editorial principles
Three rules we do not bend.
We take no payment for coverage. If a team pays for anything, it is a clearly labelled advertisement and it never appears inside a race report.
Data before drama
Timing screens, stint averages and team radio are checked before a claim goes in print.
Explain the car, not the feud
We would rather teach you what a floor edge does than tell you who shouted at whom.
Useful if you are going
Gates, timings and quiet viewing spots, verified by someone who actually stood there.
