My blog partners are very important to me and I'm so appreciative of their help in spreading the word about my work and my goals.
So I thought, with Formula 1 on a summer break, it would be a good opportunity to write a little article about them, about who they are, what they do and how they help me in reaching my aims and objectives. To take a look at my blog partners and all the relevant links, check out my partners page.
The first is my merchandise partner Grand Prix Merchandise, a fantastic online retailer of motorsport and team merchandise. They currently have a good range of 2013 F1 team collections and have great customer service and very competitive prices.
James, head of business development and social media at GPM, has been a big help and despite being a very busy guy, he finds time to help out the company's wide range of partners. GPM has also provided some fantastic competition prizes for my blog which has been fantastic; giving fans the chance to win merchandise from their favourite teams.
I love hosting competitions and find it so rewarding, so without their help competitions on the blog would be very rare. They also help to promote my work on social network channels and I do the same, helping spread the word about their great products.
Take a look at their website for more information and check them out on Twitter, Facebook and Google+.
Next up is Octane Photographic, its all in the name - they are my photography partners. Craig and Leanne run the business and are very talented photographers. They were so kind in giving me access to their extensive archives jam-packed full off mouth-watering F1 photography.
Combining their passions of motorsport and photography in 2010, they are a UK based and independent motorsport photography agency covering a broad range of series including junior formula in single-seaters, rallying and of course the pinnacle: Formula 1.
They travel to most of the European F1 rounds including winter testing and last year followed the F1 fraternity to Austin as well, producing some stunning photos at the new Circuit of the Americas. Both lovely people, they are always happy to help and are really passionate motorsport fans. Plus, they get some of the best seats in the house.
To see what I'm on about head over to the Octane Photographic website and get following on Twitter and Facebook.
Jordan from @Formula1_Com is a massive help in promoting my work, whether that be news pieces, features, reports and interviews. He is always happy to help spread the word about my work and with a fantastic following on his Twitter account; it has a big impact on my blog.
An Aeronautical Engineering Student, Jordan is very smart and has a bright future ahead of him. I first met him at the Sky Sports F1 media day in 2012 and since then the partnership between my blog and his numerous projects - including F1 videos on his 5LightsF1 YouTube channel - have strengthened.
@Formula1_Com is a must-follow account on Twitter, providing all the latest news, views and opinion from the world of F1. It is also a great community account to get involved in and a good way to promote your work if you are a fellow blogger like me. Give it a follow here and check out the Facebook page alongside 5LightsF1.
DieHardF1Fans is a massive Facebook community with over 40,000 likes. It is a great place to share your opinion, see the latest news and see my work. The team are always happy to help share my work, particularly on their very popular Google+ account.
It really is a must 'like' for any F1 fan. Check them out on Facebook here alongside their Twitter and Google+ accounts.
Then there is Sarah from @F1_Fans_Updates and PitStopRadio. She is such a lovely person - I met her at this year's Sky Sports F1 media day - and is very passionate about not only F1 but also bringing together the sports community on social networks.
Her twitter account has really lifted off in recent months with over 6,500 followers. It provides fans with a place to share their opinions, get their views heard and create debate. Sarah is also always happy to help share and promote my pieces which is a big help in getting my work out there to the fans. I really appreciate all of her support and help, long may it continue!
Sarah also runs a up and coming F1 radio station called PitStopRadio. In the past she has had the chance to chat to some fantastic guests including Natalie Pinkham and David Croft. Live, free and online, PSR is the station for every F1 fan. The chat room also gives fans the chance to get involved alongside being able to appear on the show as a panellist.
With the drive, talent and support behind her, Sarah is definitely going far in her career. Follow @F1_Fans_Updates and like the Facebook page alongside PitStopRadio.
Next up is the lovely Chandni Patel. She does exactly what I do, but in video form on her very popular YouTube channel ChandiVlogs. She is also an avid social networker and is popular on Twitter and Facebook.
Her videos are informative and interesting with regular posting on the latest news and debate from the world of F1 alongside session reports. It is great to hear her thoughts and see her knowledge and enthusiasm for the sport build with each clip.
Chandni is a fantastic help with promoting my work and I can't thank her enough - as with all my partners. I'm a big fan of her work and actually watched her videos for a little while before finding her on Twitter and creating our current promotional partnership. She is always happy to get involved with the F1 community and her videos are really great.
She also recently did a sky dive in Dubai which looks incredibly but extremely scary. So props to her for doing that! Give her a follow on Twitter, 'like' her Facebook page, add her to your Google+ circle and, of course, check out her YouTube channel.

My last partner is Vital F1, a newer addition to my partners page but one that is very interesting. The website has its own Forum which is a great place to share your views and opinions on F1. Check that out and keep an eye out for my posts on their site too.
Without the projects and people behind them mentioned above, my blog would not be where it is today and neither would I. I can't thank them enough for their support and help, long may it continue!
