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.

That meant the formation lap started 15 minutes after the planned starting time.
Times they are a-changin’ at Sauber. The former Alfa Romeo squad is slowly but certainly transforming into the Audi works team, which will be in effect from 2026 onwards. Part of that transformation is the announcement that Nico Hülkenberg will change the British countryside for the Swiss Alps as he moves from Haas to Sauber for next year.
It’s the same thing every year: the 1st of May is around the corner and everyone is reminiscing Ayrton Senna. The Brazilian triple world champion passed away after a crash in the seventh lap of the 1994 San Marino Grand Prix. Exactly 30 years ago this year.
Scott McLaughlin converted his pole position at Barber Motorsports Park into a commanding victory, despite a late caution and an agressive strategy choice by his team. Looking back on the race, the Penske-driver was proud of how his team executed the race and how they stuck together.
Scott McLaughlin grabbed his first pole position of the season yesterday at Barber Motorsports Park, besting teammate Will Power, who for the second race in succession had to settle for second. Crossing the alternate start/finish line the Kiwi was clearly very happy with the result, cheering loudly on the team radio.
