We have also timed this change in the off season when <a href=\"https:\/\/www.formula1.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Formula 1<\/a> activity is at its lowest.<\/p>\n<p>Our comment system has been imported from Disqus. However, it is no longer Disqus-based.<\/p>\n<p>Readers will now be prompted to sign in to our bespoke comment system, where privacy and security are held to the highest standard.<\/p>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<p>In closing, we ask once again for your patience. Please sign up to our new comment system to ensure a seamless transition from Disqus.<\/p>\n<p>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 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.grandprix247.com\/\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">YallaF1.com<\/a> in 2009, before it evolved into GrandPrix247 shortly thereafter.<\/p>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<p>May you all have a fantastic 2026 and help our site continue to grow as we embark on this new chapter.<\/p>\n<p>Thank you.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Dear readers,\u00a0as of today, you may begin to notice some changes on GrandPrix247 as we completed the transition&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":394911,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[572],"tags":[64,63,817,210359,35119,210912,806,805,803,804,85],"class_list":{"0":"post-394910","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-motosport","8":"tag-au","9":"tag-australia","10":"tag-f1","11":"tag-f1-2026","12":"tag-f1-news","13":"tag-grandprix247","14":"tag-motor","15":"tag-motor-sports","16":"tag-motosport","17":"tag-motosports","18":"tag-sports"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/394910","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=394910"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/394910\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/394911"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=394910"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=394910"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=394910"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
