RukiF1 is committed to publishing accurate, well-sourced Formula 1 coverage. This page explains how we work, where our information comes from, and how we handle the editorial process.
Who writes here
Every article on RukiF1 is written or edited by one of two people: Ruki (the site’s founder and editor) or Adam, a copywriter who contributes on select feature pieces. There is a consistent editorial voice across the publication. When AI tools are used to draft, structure, or refine copy, a human editor reviews and approves the final version before publication. See our About page for editor background.
Sources
Race results, timing data, standings, telemetry, and historical statistics come from primary sources:
- Ergast and Jolpica F1 APIs for race results, championship standings, driver and constructor history.
- openF1 API for lap-by-lap telemetry, race control messages, tyre and stint data.
- Official Formula 1 timing screens during live sessions.
- Team and driver press releases for announcements, quotes, and personnel changes.
We link back to source material whenever it is publicly available.
How we use AI
We are transparent about our workflow. RukiF1 uses AI tools (currently OpenAI and Anthropic Claude) to assist with:
- Editing and structural improvements on draft articles.
- SEO metadata and headline optimisation.
- Feature image generation.
- Internal linking suggestions.
AI is never the final voice. Every published piece is reviewed and approved by a human editor before it goes live. Factual claims, statistics, and quotes are verified against the primary sources listed above.
Corrections
If you spot a factual error in one of our articles, please get in touch with the article URL and the correction. We aim to review corrections within 48 hours. When a correction is made, the article is updated and, where the change is material (a statistic, a quote, a result), we add a note at the bottom of the article indicating what was corrected and when.
Independence
RukiF1 is an independent publication. We are not owned, sponsored, or endorsed by Formula 1, the FIA, any F1 team, driver, sponsor, or related brand. We participate in affiliate programmes for products and merchandise we genuinely think readers might find useful, and we mark those links as affiliate links where they appear. Affiliate revenue does not influence editorial coverage.
Original content
We publish original analysis, opinion, and reporting. Where we quote or reference another publication’s reporting, we credit and link to the source. We do not republish other outlets’ articles.
