Dear readers, as of today, you may begin to notice some changes on GrandPrix247 as we completed the transition of our content management system from WordPress to Newsifier.
During the coming days, our site will undergo several background changes which may have a temporary impact on the reader experience.
These changes are entirely for the good, and we ask that our readers remain patient as we begin this new chapter with a clear eye on the future and a more effective, user-friendly experience.
Over the next couple of days, there will be a limited number of stories and reports published.
We will catch up fully once we are back in full flow on Newsifier. We have also timed this change in the off season when Formula 1 activity is at its lowest.
Our comment system has been imported from Disqus. However, it is no longer Disqus-based.
Readers will now be prompted to sign in to our bespoke comment system, where privacy and security are held to the highest standard.
The end goal of this new-year project is simple: to make our site faster, better, and more effective in delivering the latest Formula 1 news as we head into 2026.
Under the superb guidance of Jad Mallak as our Editor, GrandPrix247 will continue to grow. We aim to build a bigger team to help support coverage that became almost overwhelming in 2025.
As the sport continues to boom, we intend to ride that wave with our unique, opinion-driven reporting of the Formula 1 narrative we all love.
In closing, we ask once again for your patience. Please sign up to our new comment system to ensure a seamless transition from Disqus.
Before long, we will be fully established on our new platform as we wave goodbye to WordPress, which has served the site well since its beginnings as YallaF1.com in 2009, before it evolved into GrandPrix247 shortly thereafter.
To our readers, we wish you all a great New Year. Hopefully, this time next year, we will be welcoming a much larger audience and fully realising the potential that our new platform offers.
May you all have a fantastic 2026 and help our site continue to grow as we embark on this new chapter.
Thank you.
