Reports emerged last week in the Italian press that Rossi would be selling his VR46 organisation, including its grand prix race teams, for 150 million euros to Tanal Entertainment and Saudi Prince Abdulaziz bin Abdullah bin Saud bin Abdulaziz Al-Saud.

Friday’s running for the Styrian GP was affected by rain in the afternoon session, though most riders felt the grip on offer was surprisingly high. But for a number of years riders have expressed concerns over the safety of the Red Bull Ring in wet conditions, particularly at Turns 1 and Turns 3 where a

The Australian has gone up against both Verstappen and Norris in the same cars, having previously raced at Red Bull alongside the Dutch driver between 2016 and 2018. And although he thinks it is too early in Norris’ career to judge how he stacks up against Verstappen, Ricciardo says that on track at least there

Rossi made his grand prix motorcycle racing debut back in 1996 in the 125cc class, and since then has written himself into the history books as arguably the greatest of all time – both on two wheels and perhaps across all of motorsport. Winning 115 grands prix across the 125cc, 250cc and MotoGP classes, Rossi

In addition the team has requested a separate process, a right of review, and says that it has “discovered significant new evidence” that was not available on Sunday night. The right of review is likely to take place ahead of any appeal hearing as it is possible that the original decision could be changed. It

Highest of the MX-5 battlers is Ben Short, who scooped another double victory in the 750 Motor Club’s Mk1 MX-5 Cup category at Cadwell Park to rise up from 22nd place to sixth on the winners’ table. Jack Brewer also claimed a brace of wins in the British Racing and Sports Car Club’s Mk1 championship

The 34-year-old Scot moved to the Speedworks Motorsport-run Toyota team to replace the team’s long-time favourite Tom Ingram for 2021.

Marshal Rob Foote was killed following an incident in the Pre-93 and Pre-03 Touring Car race at a British Automobile Racing Club event on Saturday.

Formula 2 racer Ticktum first linked up with Williams’ academy in December 2019 as development driver, having exited Red Bull’s junior team midway through that year. But it emerged on Tuesday that the 22-year-old was released from Williams’ young driver academy last week, with Ticktum claiming it was because there was “no option for an

The Monegasque driver was collected by his out-of-control Aston Martin rival at the apex of the first corner, when Stroll braked too late and took to the grass in the damp conditions. The collision badly damaged Leclerc’s car and was enough to pitch him out of the grand prix at the second turn. However, as

On the rapidly drying Hungaroring track, world champion and pole position man Lewis Hamilton was the only driver who elected not to dive into the pits to change from intermediates to slicks.

Post-race inspections had found that Vettel’s Aston Martin car did not have the minimum one-litre of fuel that the FIA mandates for its analysis checks.

As we revel in what is continuing to shape up as a classic year for Formula 1, Sunday’s Hungarian Grand Prix marked a new peak for the season so far. Complete with a wet start, a red flag, tyre gambles, fights through the field and a tense battle for victory, we couldn’t have asked for

In scrutineering checks after the race the FIA could only retrieve 0.3 litres of fuel from the car, when the rules mandate that one litre should be left in the tank for sampling. The team believes that 1.74 litres of fuel should have been in the car, and thus there are still 1.44 litres in

Vettel finished second at the Hungaroring behind first-time winner Esteban Ocon after not being able to find a way past the Alpine driver, scoring his second podium of 2021 for his new team. After crossing the finish line, Vettel parked his car at the side of the track at Turn 12 after being ordered to

After being soundly beaten by Red Bull at the two events in Austria, Mercedes looked to cut the pace deficit to its title rival by introducing its final updates for the W12 car at the British Grand Prix.
