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
Newgarden had led the most laps in the previous two IndyCar encounters at Detroit and Road America, but flagging tyres and mechanical issues contrived to deny him victories in either event. But with pole, Newgarden was able to keep ahead of fellow front-row starter Colton Herta in the early stages, eventually building a three-second lead
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
Newgarden made it through to the Fast Six final stage of qualifying and lapped the 2.238-mile Mid-Ohio course in 66.673 seconds at an average speed of 121.919mph, to shade Herta by just 0.031s. These two appeared to be in a league of their own, as Will Power slipped up on what should have been his
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
Calderon, who also remains on the Alfa Romeo Formula 1 team’s books as a test and development driver, will pilot Sebastien Bourdais’ #14 Dallara-Chevrolet on Tuesday July 6 following this weekend’s Mid-Ohio IndyCar race. The chance comes thanks to ROKiT, the primary sponsor of the #14 car that also backs the 28-year-old Colombian racer in
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
Jean-Karl Vernay is a man in demand. He recently combined his winning WTCR debut as a Hyundai factory driver with a class runner-up finish in the Nurburgring 24 Hours and is the only member of the manufacturer’s WTCR roster pulling double duty in the new Pure ETCR electric tin-top series. But the 33-year-old’s career might
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
Ganassi entered NASCAR in 2001 and (currently winless in 2021) will likely leave it with a fairly meagre total of 14 wins at Cup level and 20 in the second-tier Xfinity Series. Compare those stats to its IndyCar and IMSA/Grand-Am sportscar numbers – 117 and 59 race wins respectively. Granted, two of those 14 Cup
The Italian is continuing to undergo treatment for the serious head and facial injuries he suffered after colliding with a truck last June. Daniela Zanardi, in an interview for BMW, said that her husband was undergoing a rehabilitation programme which included multimodal and pharmacological stimulations. “I would like to tell all those people who are
Max Verstappen’s burnout as he took the chequered flag after his victory in the Styrian Grand Prix last weekend did not go down well with F1 race director Michael Masi, who warned Red Bull that repeat behaviour would not be tolerated in the future. While Masi’s concerns on safety grounds are understandable, two-time F1 world
Ganassi made the surprise announcement on Wednesday at the NASCAR Hall of Fame, ending his 20-year run as a NASCAR team owner. His entire operation has been bought by Trackhouse Entertainment Group and Trackhouse Racing, which will field two cars in the premier stock car series from 2022 using CGR’s two NASCAR charters that guarantee
The German car manufacturer has seen Red Bull win the last four F1 races, with one of its rival’s key advantages being the edge it has on the straights. Red Bull’s supremacy there has been helped most recently by it opting for a lower downforce, low-drag rear wing solution, in contrast to Mercedes preferring to
The Nashville-based company will acquire all assets of CGR immediately following the 2021 season, after discussions began between Trackhouse team owner Justin Marks and Ganassi roughly two months ago. Marks founded Trackhouse Racing last year and entered Cup Series competition with a one-car operation for the 2021 season in which Daniel Suarez has impressed and
The NASCAR Hall of Fame driver has long held an equity stake in Hendrick Motorsports and, when free of broadcasting duties with Fox Sports after the first half of each NASCAR season since retiring, Gordon would turn his attention to working with HMS. Gordon will formalise his role at Hendrick on 1 January, becoming its
Last week it was announced the Russian Grand Prix would switch in 2023 from Sochi to the Igora Drive venue near St. Petersburg, on a Hermann Tilke-designed circuit. The newly built track is part of the Igora ski resort some 50km north of St Petersburg towards the Finnish border, nestled in between the Gulf of
Rosenqvist had to miss the second race in the Detroit Grand Prix weekend as well as the Road America round held the following week, due to a huge wall-moving shunt in the opening round in Motown. Although the Swede, in his third year of IndyCar racing, did not break any bones, he did stay in
Top Performer – Thierry Neuville Reaching the finish of the Safari Rally was an achievement in its own right, such was the challenge Kenya threw at the crews brave enough to tackle it. In the end only five WRC drivers completed the full distance such was the difficulty of the new shortened but just as
Some of the drivers involved were sceptical of the size of the Andretti/Meyer Shank team force at the Indianapolis 500, comprising five full-timers – Ryan Hunter-Reay, Alexander Rossi, Colton Herta, James Hinchcliffe and Harvey – along with part-timer Helio Castroneves and Indy 500 one-offs Marco Andretti and Stefan Wilson. Harvey admits that was a cumbersome situation
Pierre Gasly has been one of the standout performers of the 2021 F1 season, qualifying in the top six on six occasions and only missing the Q3 shootout once. The pace of the AlphaTauri AT21 has helped the Frenchman hold eighth in the drivers’ championship after the Styrian Grand Prix, partly thanks to a shock
The Australian was running eighth in a tight group battling for the final two podium slots when he crashed on lap 15 of 26 at the Strubben hairpin. Miller says he was braking harder at that point in anticipation of Suzuki’s Joan Mir and LCR Honda’s Takaaki Nakagami coming to blows and tucked the front
Porsche’s new recruit Wehrlein was the first to cross the line at the Mexican venue after a controlled display from pole position, leading the Audi of 2016-17 champion Lucas di Grassi. But shortly after the chequered flag was waved, both Porsches along with the Nissans of Sebastien Buemi and Oliver Rowland were excluded from the
But with Red Bull having been spotted unloading from the back of vans a bunch of new parts at the Red Bull Ring, Mercedes says it has already stopped work on developing its 2021 F1 challenger. While Mercedes is convinced that its approach is best for the long term with a view to next year’s
Russell produced a stunning display in qualifying on Saturday to finish 11th, coming within eight-thousandths of a second of a Q3 berth, but he moved into the top 10 anyway thanks to Yuki Tsunoda’s grid penalty. Early contact between Pierre Gasly and Charles Leclerc promoted Russell into eighth early on, and he held onto the
