The Formula 3 feature race rudely awakened the principality of Monaco with it’s 8:00 start, and unlike yesterday the track didn’t fell immediately silent. The start went a lot better than the one from the sprint race. Of course there were a few people cutting St. Devote, and some wheelbanging in occurred in the Hotel…
One-and-a-half tenth, that’s how much Oscar Piastry was shy of this first pole position of his Formula 1 career. The young Ozzy was on top of his game the entire session, but he eventually had to acknowlegde that Leclerc had the better of him this time around. The former Formula 2-champ was however critical of…
Charles Leclerc came 0.104 seconds shy of Lewis Hamilton’s 2019 track record in a blistering qualifying lap that gave him his third pole position in Monaco, this time without incidents or people bringing out the red flag in the ultimate stages of the session. Obviously, the hometown hero was very delighted with the result. “It…
On first glance it might have looked like a normal day in the office for Max Verstappen, but a late charge by Lando Norris gave us a dogfight that faintly reminisced of Alonso vs. Schumacher in 2006. Fortunately for the Red Bull-driver the chequered flag came before the McLaren could utilise its DRS, but for…
Ferrari brought a significant update to Imola, one of their two home races of the season, and after Friday’s practice the impovements looked promising. And that was even without addressing the issues that drivers Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sainz have identified during the first six races of the season. “It’s an organic development of the…
After being beaten on merit in Miami for the first time since last year’s Singapore Grand Prix, it is a big question mark whether Max Verstappen and Red Bull can really be challenged, or that business proceeds as usual. The Formula 1 circus has landed in Imola, a circuit that – on paper – looks…
The only race on the IMS Road Course started with a bag of mixed tyre selections, and with Álex Palou and Christian Lundgaard leading the field to green. Braking for turn 1 Palou outbrakes himself, giving Lundgaard the opportunity to pass for the lead. Further back Rinus VeeKay gets tapped by Pietro Fittipaldi, causing lots…
Group 1 After two eventful practices the 27 IndyCar-drivers set out for the qualifying on the IMS Road Course. Group 1 contained all three Team Penske-drivers and former winner Rinus VeeKay. Previous race’s winner Scott McLaughlin was the first to set a time with 1:12.1287, but as always the first lap is just part of…
Coming off a disappointing Miami Grand Prix Williams team boss James Vowles explained the issues that caused Alexander Albon in both qualifying and the race. In the YouTube series aptly named ‘The Vowles Verdict’ on the team’s official channel, he revealed the Thai suffered extensive floor damage after he hit the same bollard, or what…
After a convincing first Formula 1-victory Lando Norris was more than elated. In his 110th attempt the young Briton capitalised on a favourable Safety Car, before laying down a tempo that even Max Verstappen in the all-mighty Red Bull RB20 couldn’t match. Crossing the line first there was no-one in Formula 1 that begrudged the McLaren-driver his first Grand Prix-victory.
