We follow strict standards across all visual content:

– Full respect for copyright and licensing terms

2. Image Sources We Use

2.1 Team Media Libraries

We may publish images provided directly by Formula 1 teams through their official media libraries or press sites, in accordance with each team’s usage terms.

2.2 FIA, FOM, and Race Organizers

Where permitted, we use images distributed through official FIA / FOM channels, accredited media pools, or Grand Prix organizers.

2.3 Licensed Photography Agencies

We may publish editorially licensed images from reputable motorsport agencies, including but not limited to:

2.5 Original Photography

If present at events, our editorial team may publish original photographs taken on-site in compliance with accreditation rules established by FIA / FOM.

2.6 Use of Third-Party Images for Events We Do Not Attend

When The Prix Report is not physically present at a Grand Prix or FIA-sanctioned event, we rely on licensed third-party editorial photography, including team media libraries, FIA/FOM-distributed assets, and accredited motorsport agencies.

This is standard practice across professional motorsport media.

All visual assets published during off-site coverage comply fully with:

– The licensing terms set by the image provider

As The Prix Report expands on-site coverage and receives accreditation for selected events, original photography from our editorial team will be incorporated where permitted.
