2020 F2 champion Schumacher graduated to F1 this year with Haas, and has so far led its efforts at the rear of the field, beating teammate Nikita Mazepin in all but two races both drivers have finished. Schumacher has regularly been heard exchanging feedback with race engineer Gary Gannon on team radio, and has also

“You’re kidding!” That was Norfolk hotshoe David Sears’s reaction when his late father, ex-touring car hero Jack Sears, told him that family friend Colin Chapman, boss of the Lotus team from just up the road in Hethel, had been on the phone to invite Sears Jr to an upcoming December Formula 1 test at Paul

The FIA announced on Tuesday that Red Bull have protested the penalty that Lewis Hamilton received at the Formula 1 British Grand Prix, believing it wasn’t harsh enough. This isn’t the first time an F1 team has protested a penalty, but have the FIA ever changed a penalty after a protest, and have they ever

This season the F1 feeder categories debuted a radical format featuring fewer events but the same amount of races held per weekend in a bid to reduce the costs to teams. F2 and F3 were split from F1 support bills at grand prix events with both championships adopting a new three-race format, featuring a divisive

It’s a call that is hugely important to the two drivers involved, as it will define the nature of their F1 career – and the success they can achieve – over the next few years. But it’s also a decision whose ramifications are not just limited to the men in the cockpit, because it will

The Belgian, who Mercedes motorsport boss Toto Wolff reckons “deserves to be in Formula 1″ amid links to a Williams seat in 2022, snared pole at the ExCeL on Sunday and had earned an early control over the race.  But Vandoorne lost the lead after Lucas di Grassi controversially drove through the pitlane during a

Nissan driver Buemi was battling with Rast for 11th position when he made a lunge into the tricky Turn 10 hairpin, bumping into the right-rear side of the Audi. A second touch followed as they took the apex nearly side-by-side, forcing Rast into the barriers located on the outside. The Audi driver tried to weave

Lawson had moved into the lead on the opening lap with a bold pass on polesitter Philip Ellis through the Turn 2-3 sequence and was several seconds up the road when he hit pit road on lap 8 of 36. Pitstops have so far been the forte for the AF Corse team that runs the

Lotterer was handed a drivethrough penalty for his role in the shunt on the approach to Turn 1, which triggered the safety car that allowed Lucas di Grassi to controversially nick the lead. Da Costa had closed the gap to the Porsche driver with the 35kW attack mode and lined him up on the main

Audi driver di Grassi climbed from eighth into the lead when he travelled through the 50km/h limited short London ExCeL pitlane during a particularly slow safety car period. While allowed under the rules, di Grassi did not come to a complete stop in the pitbox and so was dealt a drivethrough penalty, which was not

Russell was given a three-place grid drop for the British GP after tangling with Carlos Sainz on the first lap of the Saturday sprint event. Although the FIA stewards have often taken a “let them race approach” to first-lap incidents, both the Russell/Sainz tangle and the following day’s lap one clash between Max Verstappen and

The Team Hansen driver, who had claimed a debut win at the 2019 Abu Dhabi round in the stewards room post-race, crossed the finished line first at the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya after a close battle in the final with the highest qualifier, his brother Timmy Hansen, and triple World RX title-winner Johan Kristoffersson. The Hansen

Alongside heavy speculation that George Russell will graduate from Williams to partner Lewis Hamilton at Mercedes next season, 2019 FIA Formula 2 champion de Vries has been tipped as a potential replacement for Russell. Fellow Mercedes F1 reserve driver Vandoorne has also entered the frame for the seat in a move that would see him

Mahindra Racing driver Lynn, who is widely acknowledged to have been dropped by the team for 2022, leapfrogged from his group three run into superpole. He then beat the benchmark time set by BMW Andretti rival Dennis by 0.299s to snare pole with his 1m23.245s effort, marking his second first-place start after his debut pole

Abril finished second and 11th across the two races in Italy last month, making him the top Mercedes driver in the points standings in fourth position ahead of this weekend’s second round at the Lausitzring. However, the Monegasque has now lost all 21 points he scored during the season opener due to a fuel irregularity,

A tweak to the usual weekend format moved the longer opening practice run to Friday evening, after a morning shakedown, as the world’s first indoor-outdoor circuit made its official debut.  The tight 22-turn course is expected to produce processional racing with limited space for overtaking, while even a 4kWh race energy deduction made by the

The Brackley-based team had arrived at Silverstone off the back of a run of five consecutive Red Bull victories that had allowed its main rival to extend leads in both world championships. So it knew it was under pressure, at a track that should better suit its package, to turn the tables on Red Bull

Castroneves lost his full-time Team Penske IndyCar ride in 2017, as he switched across to the Acura Team Penske program in IMSA, culminating in the 2020 drivers’ championship.

F1 staged its inaugural 100km Saturday sprint race at the British Grand Prix last week at Silverstone as part of a shake-up of the race weekend format.

F1 staged its inaugural 100km sprint race last Saturday at the British Grand Prix as part of a weekend format shake-up that will take place at two further events this year. Fans at the track were given three days of competitive action as qualifying moved to Friday, with the sprint race then taking place on

That’s a point not lost on 2012 Cup champion Keselowski, who at an official presentation announcing his long-anticipated team switch for 2022 on Tuesday went out of his way to compare his new driver/owner role at Roush to Tony Stewart’s move into a similar position at Haas CNC Racing in 2009. As Keselowski noted, Stewart

Raikkonen made the comment via team radio after finishing the British Grand Prix out of the points in 15th place. The Finn had gained places at the start in both the Saturday sprint and in the grand prix itself. He spent the latter part of the main event battling with Red Bull’s Sergio Perez, but

Julian Thomas came within a couple of corners of a double win in the Masters Historic GT support races at the British Grand Prix, his Shelby Daytona Cobra Coupe triumphing easily in race one but having a much tougher time in race two. In both, he was bettered off the line by 2013 British Touring
