But that shouldn’t divert attention from the huge impact he made on motorsport over the decades. Mosley helped Bernie Ecclestone to build Formula 1 into the commercial giant that we know today, and as FIA president he reformed and modernised the organisation and relentlessly pursued safety improvements throughout the sport. He also pushed to improve

The explosive nature of their rivalry caused great tensions within Mercedes as they fought for wins and titles in what was effectively an intra-team contest on the majority of weekends for three seasons. It occasionally spilled over on-track, notably with three on-track collisions – Belgium 2014, Spain 2016 and Austria 2016 – but there were
Ferrucci suffered a 225mph shunt at Turn 2 on Thursday, bad enough to send him to hospital, return to the track with a limp and a knee brace. It left his mechanics and teammates Takuma Sato and Graham Rahal to work through much of the night and wee small hours of the morning to get
The Italian marque signed Bagnaia to a two-year deal with its works squad beginning in 2021, but Miller only had a firm one-season contract with an option for a second. Miller – who has been part of the Ducati family since 2018 when he joined Pramac – came under pressure at the start of 2021
4:36 PM ET Associated Press INDIANAPOLIS — Takuma Sato will receive an overdue celebration this weekend for winning last year’s Indianapolis 500 in front of empty grandstands. Indianapolis Motor Speedway was empty aside from essential personnel last August when Sato won his second Indianapolis 500. The pandemic had prevented a crowd and it denied Sato
Excessive dust for the maiden round of the all-electric SUV off-road racing series in AlUla, Saudi Arabia in April led to qualifying heats being replaced with one-car time trials. The grids for the Sunday races were also capped as three entries, rather than the planned four cars, with the poor visibility contributing to all overtakes
Leclerc scored pole position in Monaco on Saturday after topping qualifying, but a crash at the exit of Swimming Pool by the Ferrari driver prevented any drivers from improving on their final runs in Q3. A rule applied in American series such as IndyCar and IMSA sees any driver causing a red flag in qualifying
Dixon, a three-time Indy 500 pole-winner – the last time in 2017 – set a four-lap average of 231.828mph to top Saturday qualifying in his Chip Ganassi Racing-Honda. He also saw his three teammates Tony Kanaan, Alex Palou and Marcus Ericsson earn their way into today’s Fast Nine shootout for pole in the 105th running of the
Double Moto2 world champion Zarco signed directly to Ducati last year to join the Avintia satellite squad – a move Ducati worked hard to convince him to make, after the French rider dismissed the squad as “not a top team”. The relationship between Zarco and Ducati has blossomed since, with the marque promoting him to
8:31 AM ET Formula One is willing to alter the circuit layout at the Monaco Grand Prix if there is a chance it will improve racing.

Michael Igoe and Phil Keen began their Intelligent Money British GT Championship challenge in fine style by securing a dominant win for WPI Motorsport and Lamborghini in today’s two-hour season opener at Brands Hatch where Gus Burton and Will Burns headed a Century BMW one-two in the GT4 class. GT World is the official YouTube
But with a tight battle on its hands against Red Bull, which excels at such venues, the world champion team pulled out the stops with a suspension revamp aimed to cure its Achilles’ Heel. Whether the changes helped or not we will never know, as Valtteri Bottas was able to extract more from his car
The Woking-based outfit was bracing itself for a tough time around the streets of Monte Carlo, but in the end its MCL35M was actually closer to Red Bull and Mercedes than at other tracks. Team principal Andreas Seidl was delighted with how things had panned out, with Norris finishing third, as McLaren continues to stake
On the back of regular success in kart racing in his native Brazil, Ribeiro graduated to Formula Ford before heading to Europe to compete in the 1990 Formula Opel championship. He then moved to race in British Formula 3 for Paul Stewart Racing for six races, finishing seventh in the Zandvoort F3 Masters invitational race.
7:08 PM ET Associated Press BAYTOWN, Texas — Texas-based Steve Torrence beat Doug Kalitta in the Top Fuel final on Monday at the rain-delayed Mopar Express Lane NHRA SpringNationals at Houston Raceway Park. Torrence needed just a 4.00 to earn career win No. 43 after Kalitta’s Mobil 1/TRD dragster smoked the tires early. Torrence has
After a year away due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Monaco made a welcome return to the Formula 1 calendar with a toned-down version of its usual festivities. The on-track spectacle met expectations as the race little offered in the way of major drama or exciting moments. But it could prove to be an important moment
Mosley, who started his motorsport career as a driver in the European Formula Two championship in 1968, was one of the four founding members of March in 1969 along with Robin Herd, Alan Rees and Graham Coaker. Despite a meagre budget, it won races across the motorsport spectrum from Formula 1 to the Indianapolis 500.
Only three of the five drivers taking part would secure a space, meaning 2015 podium finisher Charlie Kimball and RC Enerson were the two to miss out. Dreyer & Reinbold Racing’s Karam, a seven-time starter in the Indy 500, was the first driver to hit the track with a 230mph opening lap, followed by a
10:25 AM ET Max Mosley, the former president of motor racing’s governing body, the FIA, has died aged 81. Mosley headed up the FIA between 1993 and 2009 and played a pivotal role in pioneering improvements in safety standards after the deaths of Roland Ratzenberger and Ayrton Senna at the 1994 San Marino Grand Prix.
Elliott and his Hendrick Motorsports team went for a splash and dash stop near the beginning of the final stage and were likely to end up two laps short on fuel to make it to the finish. Fortunately for the reigning Cup champion, heavy rain brought out the second red-flag of the race and NASCAR
Let’s be clear: it’s absurd to conclude that NASCAR called Sunday’s inaugural Cup Series race at Circuit of the Americas when it did, simply to ensure Chase Elliott would win the event. However, by its actions during the race – and failing to adhere to lessons it said it learned about racing in the rain
The Italian outfit returned to its Maranello base on Monday morning to undertake a detailed investigation in to what happened to Leclerc before the start. The team had given Leclerc’s car and gearbox the all-clear in the hours before the race, but a left-rear driveshaft hub failed during a pre-race reconnaissance lap. With no time
The Ilmor-built Chevrolet units were blamed for an apparent underperformance on Fast Friday when the BorgWarner turbos are turned up from race boost – 1.3-bar – to qualifying boost, 1.5-bar, particularly when Team Penske proved to be mediocre on the speed charts. But Ed Carpenter Racing in particular appeared to show this was a myth,
7:07 AM ET Mercedes will be unable to remove the front-right wheel nut from Valtteri Bottas’ Monaco Grand Prix race car until it returns to the team’s UK factory this week.

After pole-sitter Charles Leclerc failed to start due to a driveshaft issue on his Ferrari, Verstappen was able to control the race from the front and record his first Monaco win, capitalising on a difficult day for title rival Lewis Hamilton. Traffic and strategy woes left Hamilton only seventh at the chequered flag, with further
Mercedes F1 boss Toto Wolff said on Saturday that the team would be willing to take risks with Hamilton’s strategy after he only qualified seventh. Hamilton ran sixth in the opening stint after Charles Leclerc failed to start, and was brought into the pits at the end of Lap 29 to switch to the hard
Dixon’s fourth Indy pole and 27th of his career, was his first IndyCar pole since the Chip Ganassi Racing driver went quickest for the 500 in 2017.
