Strategists in Formula 1 are responsible for creating the perfect plan for a race, and are often pivotal in making or breaking a good result. This complex role is tough to find, so how do you find one and how do you make sure you’ve got the right skills and experience to get it? We

Following a very late change of plan, the Porsche Supercup race has been lost to COVID-19 travel restrictions as many of the teams are based in Germany. Instead, Masters Historic Racing has reacted quickly to organise a pair of races for its Gentlemen Drivers Pre-66 GT series on the Grand Prix circuit over the 16-18

Earlier this April, the Vancouver City Council voted in favour of partnering with Montreal-based One Stop Strategy Group for an FE race in the third biggest metropolitan area of Canada, with a venue proposed in the False Creek region. The sport’s regulatory body has now confirmed that FE will return to Canada for the first time

The so-called Goodyear tyre test was hit throughout by variable weather conditions, but there were windows of dry running on both afternoons that allowed competitors to get quick dry-track times in, before a downpour truncated the final session. Proctor, who only joined the BTC Racing Honda squad prior to last month’s second round at Snetterton,

In 1974, Argentina’s Reutemann scored his first grand prix win, at Kyalami in South Africa. It was significant not only as the first Formula 1 World Championship triumph for a Brabham since 1970, but also the first victory for a Gordon Murray-designed F1 car – by happy coincidence, in Murray’s original home country. The fact that

Reutemann’s condition had deteriorated in the last couple of days after he suffered further issues with haemorrhaging while in the intensive care unit of a health centre in the city of Santa Fe, Argentina. The former F1 driver and current Senator in Argentina had been hospitalised on 30 May and was moved to the ICU

In the wake of the penalty handed out to Lando Norris at last weekend’s Austrian Grand Prix, Brown fears that it has opened up a world where hard racing is no longer allowed. And he especially fears that if Norris had to give way to Perez simply because the Mexican had got alongside him on

Dixon, a six-time winner at Mid-Ohio, finished fourth in last weekend’s race behind race winner Josef Newgarden (Team Penske), and fellow Ganassi drivers Marcus Ericsson and Palou. Having been jumped in the final round of stops by Palou, Dixon finished 10 seconds behind the Spaniard and was left to defend from the pack of Alexander

Angela Lucas suffered fatal injuries in the incident at the fast Riches right-hander of the Norfolk circuit, around three hours into Sunday’s second C1 contest of the British Automobile Racing Club event. Lucas had made a handful of appearances with the C1 Racing Club, and was sharing the RaceDriver.me car with the scholarship’s winner Alexander

The governing body announced today that it is already working on wooing the WRC back to Australia, which last formed part of the world championship in 2018. The Coffs Harbour-based event was also set to see out the 2019 season, only to be called off at the last minute due to bushfires in the area.

The 26-year-old scored his maiden Cup win on the Daytona road course earlier this year, but had endured a disappointing run of form with just five further top-10 finishes in the following 17 points-paying races prior to Road America. Bell had a gradual rise up the order in Sunday’s race, earning a penalty for driving

The seven-time WRC champion indicated earlier this that he intended to only contest a part campaign next year and dovetail that with possible circuit racing outings. After winning four of the opening six rallies of the season, Ogier’s performances coupled with uncertainty as to how many rallies he will do next season has sparked suggestions

In an era when the championship has tried to encourage a ‘let them race’ mentality, the sanction given to Norris in particular prompted the biggest debate of all. With the McLaren driver having not made any contact with Perez, and the duel being not much different to similar incidents that escaped sanction in the past,

Elliott took command of the race on lap 46 of the 62-lap race, as Kyle Busch passed Aric Almirola on a restart and Elliott then cleared Busch in Turn 12 to grab the lead for the final time. On lap 59, Christopher Bell got around Busch to move into second but couldn’t mount a serious

Norris was given a five-second time penalty and two penalty points on his licence for being deemed to have pushed Sergio Perez off the track in the early stages of the Red Bull Ring race. Those two points take his total up to 10, just two removed from the 12-point threshold which comes with an

While the general vibe in recent months suggested that Hamilton was keen to race on into the era of the new regulations, there was always some lingering doubt about his longer-term plans. What if he won his eighth title this year and decided that was it? Or would the fight with Red Bull and Max

The reigning BRDC British F3 champion was transferred to Universitatsklinikum Graz Hospital following an incident during Saturday’s second race at the Austrian venue. FIA F3 Championship organisers have since confirmed the American has suffered a fracture and dislocation of his left thumb, which has forced him out of the remaining race of the weekend. It

The Swiss driver was already forced to skip the inaugural Puebla E-Prix last month due to a clash with the season-opening round of the revamped DTM series at Monza. There are two further overlaps between the two championships, with the returning London E-Prix falling on the same weekend as the DTM’s Lausitzring event and FE’s

On occasion groups of cars were almost at a stop at the last two corners to try and find a gap, while other drivers were passing them on flying laps. Matters were further complicated by the adjacent pit entry, with drivers potentially having to thread their way through slow moving traffic in order to get

The two-time IndyCar champion was a quarter second ahead of Arrow McLaren SP’s Pato O’Ward with an average speed of 120.870mph around the 2.258-mile course. Eight-hundredths slower than O’Ward was Jack Harvey for Meyer Shank Racing, the hometown team, with Alexander Rossi leading the Andretti Autosport contingent. Local hero Graham Rahal was fifth fastest for

Mazepin moved up from Formula 2 to make his F1 debut with Haas at the start of the year, but has managed to beat team-mate Mick Schumacher just once in both qualifying and races at the eight events so far this season. The Russian driver revealed last week that he was driving a slightly heavier

Gunther Steiner has led Haas F1 Team since it entered the championship in 2016, and has worked in motorsport for over 35 years. But what does it take to become a team boss? We spoke to Steiner to find out what qualifications you need, what skills you should have, and everything else you need to
