Aside from a disrupted one-day test on the Indianapolis Motor Speedway’s road course, the Grand Prix of Portland was Ilott’s first experience of IndyCar. It was also the first race at the top of US open-wheel racing for Ricardo Juncos’ ace junior formula team since the 2019 Indianapolis 500. It was expected that the 2020
Marquez fought to the final lap with Ducati’s Francesco Bagnaia in last Sunday’s Aragon GP, but ultimately came up second-best to the Italian in a thrilling scrap. The anticlockwise nature of Aragon negated the limitations Marquez still currently has with the right side of his body, while also allowing him to ride around the 2021
Harvey started second and finished fourth in the season’s second round at St. Petersburg, but then suffered a largely miserable run of nine races that emulated much of his ill fortune in 2020. The Portland race looked like it might be another missed opportunity; despite being third fastest in first practice and fifth fastest in

The factory Ducati rider has come close to victory in MotoGP before, but has been cruelly denied by misfortune and error.

Rossi started the Grand Prix of Portland from the front row, and although he and Chip Ganassi Racing drivers Palou and Scott Dixon were among those sent to the back of the pack for missing the Turn 1/2 chicane on the opening lap, he kept pace with them and pressurised Palou during the final two
Verstappen’s Red Bull was launched into the air by the array of sausage kerbs, precipitating contact between the underside of his car and Hamilton’s halo. Had the halo not been introduced to F1’s regulations in 2018, there is a very real chance that Hamilton would not have walked out of the incident unscathed. However, the
At the start of the race, polesitter Palou beat fellow front-row starter Alexander Rossi of Andretti Autosport, the latter also being jumped by the Chip Ganassi Racing-Honda of Scott Dixon, who had started third.

Russell became the first driver to
Truex, who was penalised by NASCAR for jumping the start of the race and ended up last in the running order, grabbed control of the race in the final stage and never looked back. Truex emerged as the leader following a round of green flag pitstops on Lap 350 of 400 at Richmond Raceway and
Cameron set the early pace in his Meyer Shank Acura DPi at 1m14.957s, repeatedly swapping the top spot early on with Albuquerque, who eventually took over with a lap of 1m14.441s that won the pole position, compared to Cameron’s 1m14.464s. Kevin Magnussen (Chip Ganassi Racing Cadillac) was third quickest, over half a second off the
Alex Palou beat Alexander Rossi to score his first-ever IndyCar pole position in a qualifying when all four Penske drivers failed to progress out of Q1.

The Brazilian veteran, making only his fourth appearance of the season for Meyer Shank Racing ahead

For many sportscar drivers, the imminent manufacturer influx into the top classes at Le Mans poses a potential career-making opportunity. Factory BMW GT driver Nick Yelloly makes no bones about his desire to race the Munich marque’s LMDh car that will debut in 2023, not least because his only taste of prototypes to date was
