In the era of COVID-19, teams need easy access to drivers who can jump in with little preparation, and you never know when an unexpected opportunity might crop up. Like Nico Hulkenberg and Alex Albon, Kvyat is near the top of the list of drivers with recent F1 race experience, hence the interest from Alpine
O’Ward’s Arrow McLarens SP surged forward on the last two restarts, passing Scott Dixon, Rahal, Palou, Herta and eventually Josef Newgarden to claim an impressive victory. Herta, who lost third to Palou after trying to retaliate on O’Ward and made a slight error at Turn 3, said after the race that he was disappointed as
The Team Penske driver set a scintillating pole position in the Sunday morning qualifying session and starting on primary tyres, he had to charge forward while he could, in order to shorten the stint on which he’d run the fragile alternate compound tyres. A late restart while he was on his final stint on the
After finishing third in Race 1 yesterday, O’Ward’s Arrow McLaren SP struck the wall this morning in qualifying, which left him down in 16th on the grid. However, he avoided trouble at the start of the race to move into the top 10, and was sixth with 11 laps to go. He passed Scott Dixon
The Arrow McLaren SP driver took the initiative after a caution period emerged with 12 laps remaining, as Romain Grosjean spun and stopped on track following a brake fire. O’Ward had just nipped past Scott Dixon following the end of a caution period one lap prior, brought out for Jimmie Johnson who slid out of
With no success ballast on his Laser Tools Racing Infiniti Q50, Sutton opted for the soft option tyre, and was already up to seventh by the end of the opening lap. Just before half-distance, Sutton passed Ollie Jackson for second into the Wilson hairpin, and on the ninth lap of 12 he managed to get
With no Fast Six pole position shootout at the Detroit double-header, the all-important top 12 session got underway with some drivers on used red-walled tyres to do their sighting laps and some on primaries. Ferrucci put his Rahal Letterman Lanigan on top early on with a 1m15.5s lap on primaries, but Alex Palou snipped a
Rosenqvist will be held overnight at DMC Detroit Receiving Hospital for further assessment following his heavy impact with the wall during the opening Detroit race. He slammed into the barriers on the outside Turn 6 on lap 24 of the race due to a stuck throttle, and needed to be extricated from the car. Track clean-up
The #12 Team Penske driver appeared set for victory after leading 37 laps, when the race was red-flagged five laps from the finish following a crash by Romain Grosjean. The Dale Coyne Racing with RWR driver crashed against the outside wall at Turn 9 after a hard hit, and required salvaging. However, rather than put
Romain Grosjean’s late crash at Turn 9 produced the second red flag with five laps remaining, with Power seemingly set to beat Ericsson and claim his first victory of the season – two weeks after a disappointing Indianapolis 500. But as the engines were started back up again ahead of the restart, Power’s was unable
Rosenqvist’s Arrow McLaren SP went head-on into the tyre wall on the exit of the corner, after his throttle appeared to jam open as he downshifted. During the huge impact, the concrete barrier behind the tyre wall was pushed over by the severity of the hit, while the tyres were scattered over the catch fencing.
The Detroit Grand Prix traditionally has a different qualifying system than the other road and street courses, but this year it has been brought much closer in line with the regular system, with the 25 cars divided into groups of 12 and 13 in qualifying, with the top six from each going into a top
Williams entered the 2021 season looking to continue the progress it showed last year with the updated FW43 car, while also pushing more resources to the new car designs planned for 2022. The team said last month that it was in the “final throes” of developing its car for this year as it battles with Haas
Magnussen, embroiled in a battle for pole with Tristan Vautier of JDC Miller Motorsports and Pipo Derani of Action Express Racing suddenly had a new target after Vautier hurtled sideways into the Turn 4 tire wall, but Race Control delayed hanging the red flag. This allowed Tincknell’s RT24-P and Magnussen’s DPi-V.R to complete their current
Coverage of every qualifying session and every race over the two weeks of the TT will be broadcast online on a dedicated digital channel, accessible via a live pass. Previously, only highlights of the iconic event had been broadcast. Launching next spring, the digital channel will be the exclusive home of live race coverage, and
O’Ward, who finished fourth in last year’s points race and this year lies third having achieved his first victory, was asked if he’d learned from watching Dixon rack up his sixth championship in 2020. He replied: “Yeah, what I learned was that you have to beat the master of consistency at his own game in
Pascal Vasselon, technical director of Toyota Gazoo Racing Europe, described the Balance of Performance changes that have increased the minimum weight and reduced the power of the marque’s GR010 HYBRIDs for Sunday’s Portimao 8 Hours as “fully acceptable and part of the process that we cannot contest”. Vasselon explained that the increase in minimum weight
Rowe’s #98 machine finished a close second in what was the shortest-ever running of the German endurance classic last weekend, less than nine seconds behind the winning Manthey Racing Porsche in a three-and-a-half hour sprint to the flag. The sister #1 M6 that had started on pole and led when the race was resumed after
The annual competition among many of the Cup Series’ top drivers is getting a dramatic reboot this year, only the second iteration of the event to be held away from its traditional base at Charlotte Motor Speedway since 1986 after the COVID-19 pandemic forced the event to be moved to Bristol Motor Speedway last year.
The winner of the 1999 Le Mans 24 Hours with the V12 LMR prototype has revealed its intent to join the new category after confirming last week that it was one of the options under review as it plotted its post-Formula E future. Now, it has firmed up its intent to join a class that
An exclusive interview with Perez is the centrepiece of this month’s GP Racing magazine. In the latest edition of the Flat Chat podcast, GP Racing editor Ben Anderson and columnist Mark Gallagher join host Stuart Codling to discuss the scale of Perez’s achievement. Before winning last weekend’s Azerbaijan Grand Prix, he admitted that there was
The former IndyCar driver joined the Vasser Sullivan team full-time this year, partnering Frankie Montecalvo in the #12 Lexus RC F, and at the last IMSA round at Mid-Ohio the pair took second place. However, a short statement from Vasser Sullivan Racing this afternoon read: “Vasser Sullivan Racing announced today that Zach Veach, co-driver of
Formula 1 is populated by drivers and teams alike who revel in the competitive aspect, and will do whatever it takes to win. For the most part, the desire to become the best driver or to build the best car suffices – but there’s also the desire to put the limits of the regulations to
The #10 Chip Ganassi Racing driver is the first driver to fall victim to the rule, introduced in 2020, whereby an ‘early’ engine change incurs a six-place grid penalty on road/street courses and a nine-place penalty on ovals. Palou’s car required a new Honda engine after Carb Day’s final practice for the Indianapolis 500, by
The Green Savoree-run event on the 1.8-mile street and runway course was first held in 2003 and has traditionally been IndyCar’s season-opener. Exceptions were made last year, due to the COVID-19 pandemic pushing it back to October to serve as the series’ finale, and this year, when the race was delayed until the end of
The ART Grand Prix driver was involved in a Turn 3 incident with Dan Ticktum (Carlin) and Marcus Armstrong (DAMS) during last Sunday’s feature race at the Baku street circuit. The incident, which resulted in a safety car, eliminated Ferrari junior Armstrong for the second race in a row, while Pourchaire was also forced to
It feels as though every race in the last year has thrust Lewis Hamilton on the path to breaking a new Formula 1 record, largely those once-unbelievable records set by Michael Schumacher. We have also included the records Hamilton shares with another driver, some of which he could hold alone in the next few years.
IndyCar president Jay Frye says the series will examine its rules regarding blue flags, following frustration from leading runners over the behaviour of backmarkers. While IndyCar drivers generally ensure slow-down laps don’t interfere with flying laps by rivals, current race etiquette allows slower or delayed drivers to fight the leader to avoid getting lapped. In
RTN, the team led by Jumbo supermarket CEO Frits van Eerd, is a regular on the European racing scene and stepped up to the World Endurance Championship in 2018, with van Eerd taking a first win in Fuji in 2019 alongside Giedo van der Garde and Nyck de Vries. The Dutch outfit, which enters a
Back in March, it was announced the Suzuka IGTC fixture planned for 20-22 August had been scrubbed from the IGTC schedule for a second year in a row owing to the continued effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. At that time, the championship said the 10-hour race would be replaced with a new event in the Middle
