While there was quite some controversy after the McLaren team orders up front, there was also a little intra-team controversy at the other end of the points-scoring positions. Aston Martin drivers Fernando Alonso and Lance Stroll swapped places near the end of the race, in an attempt to overtake Yuki Tsunoda in ninth. After Satuday’s…
After two victories in a row Mercedes had to settle for third in the Hungarian GP with Lewis Hamilton, as George Russell only managed eighth. There was a hairy moment however late in the race when Max Verstappen overzealously tried to overtake Hamilton for far out, leading to contact between the two rivals. The Dutchman…
Yesterday’s sprint race saw Richard Verschoor crossing the line first in a race that was dominated by tyre degradation. He was however disqualified for having too much wear on the plank under his car, meaning he lost victory for the third time in his Formula 2 career. This meant Kush Maini inherited the win. Today’s…
Max Verstappen was a little bit frustrated coming over the line after his final qualifying attempt this afternoon in Budapest. He qualified third, just under half a tenth behind pole-sitter Lando Norris, but he feels he is lacking some grip and pace to attack McLaren at the moment. “I tried, the whole weekend I think…
It was a bit of a chaotic qualifying session, as both Sergio Pérez and Yuki Tsunoda caused red flags with their respective crashes, added to the continuous threat of rain throughout the session.

Dale Coyne Racing has announced its ninth driver so far this season, in what can best be described as a game of musical chairs at 200 miles per hour. Indy NXT alumnus Hunter McElrea will take the wheel of Dale Coyne’s #18 entry for this weekend’s Ontario Honda Dealers Indy Toronto. McElrea finished runner-up in…
Haas is on the rise. The team has already scored more than twice the points from 2023, and with signing Oliver Bearman for next year the team also looks to invest in the future. Teamboss Ayao Komatsu looks to break with the philosophy of predecessor Günther Steiner who focused more on experience. The question remains…
Qualifying for the second AND third oval race is a bit different compared to regular IndyCar qualifying and, for that matter, compared to the Indianapolis 500. Every driver gets one attempt of two laps, where the first lap determines the starting position for the first race of this double header, and logically the second lap…
