The seven-time F1 champion scored his third win of the year at Sunday’s Spanish Grand Prix to extend his lead at the top of the F1 drivers’ championship, pulling off an audacious two-stop strategy to beat Red Bull rival Max Verstappen. Hamilton dropped behind Bottas into third place after making his second pitstop, but Mercedes

Sutton, on wet-weather tyres, had lost the lead to the slick-shod Jake Hill, but as the rain once again intensified in the closing stages he was able to home in for the kill, and took the lead with two and a half laps remaining. Sutton started his Laser Tools Racing Infiniti Q50 from third on
Cook started his BTC Racing Honda Civic Type R from the front row, but lost out to the rear-wheel-drive cars of poleman Ash Sutton (Laser Tools Racing Infiniti Q50) and third qualifier Colin Turkington (West Surrey Racing BMW 330i M Sport) at the start. Cook then tried to repass Turkington around the outside into the
Jaguar driver Evans pulled off two quick moves over Robin Frijns and Antonio Felix da Costa under his second attack mode to grab the lead of the race and had built a one-second gap over the rest of the field before a late safety car period erased his advantage. When the race resumed with less
The 79-year-old politician, who finished runner-up to Nelson Piquet in the 1981 F1 world championship, was admitted to the Sanatorio Santa Fe on Wednesday after suffering a digestive haemorrhage. On Friday, the Santa Fe hospital reported the serving Argentinian senator’s condition was “clinically stable, with acceptable haemodynamic parameters”. But after a new episode of internal
The reigning champion landed pole on the full Monaco grand prix circuit by 0.012s over Envision Virgin Racing driver Robin Frijns in a session when just 0.059s split the top four. That marked the DS Techeetah racer’s second first-place in three races, having inherited the position in Valencia last month when Stoffel Vandoorne had his
Formula E has been holding biennial events in Monaco since the inception of the championship in 2014, but this year marks the first time that the electric series will use the entire length of the circuit that also serves as the venue for Formula 1’s most prestigious race. The track has undergone a select number
Four-time F1 world champion Vettel has failed to score any points in his first three races with Aston Martin, having struggled with the car’s rear-end instability following the FIA’s downforce cuts for 2021. But the team hoped to remedy his struggles with an upgrade package that was used by team-mate Lance Stroll last weekend in
Frantic edge-of-the-seat racing is set to return this weekend with the start of the British Touring Car Championship and FIA Formula 3 Championship. The BTCC is set for arguably one of the most fascinating title battles in its history with the likes of defending champion Ash Sutton, four-time champion Colin Turkington, returning three-time champion Gordon
Red Bull announced in February that it would be taking over the production of its power units from Honda at the end of the year, moving its engine operations in-house in anticipation of the next rules cycle in 2025. The team has since been on a hiring spree for its engine division, including the signing
Red Bull-backed Liam Lawson set the early pace on Day 3 of the Lausitzring test after the track dried out enough for slick tyre running, leading the timesheets with a 1m43.740s lap in the #30 Ferrari 488 GT3. Haupt Racing Team’s Gotz then managed to shave three tenths out of Lawson’s benchmark to go quickest,
The British Racing & Sports Car Club category was launched in the middle of last year and features bespoke track-focused examples of the Citroen C1, Peugeot 107 and Toyota Aygo. Special conversion kits – including a remapped ECU and adjustable suspension – can be purchased, or drivers can buy ready-to-race cars. Unlike other series for C1s
The Next Gen car (aka Gen-7) is being readied to be introduced for the 2022 Cup Series season, having been postponed from 2021 due to the global COVID-19 pandemic. Its primary aims are to lower costs for teams and prove more attractive to OEMs (road car manufacturers) to join Chevrolet, Ford and Toyota in NASCAR
Along with Chevrolet and Ford, Toyota revealed its 2022 Next Gen Cup Series car – now called the TRD Camry – on Wednesday. It features a standardised chassis, which means teams will no longer fabricate their own cars from scratch – or buy them from others via technical alliances – but purchase the tubular frame
Ex-F1 racer Alesi’s Ferrari 312B3 and the Lotus 77 of three-time Le Mans 24 Hours winner Werner were battling for the lead of the Monaco Historic GP race for 1973-76 F1 cars when they collided. Leader Alesi was sent into the barriers on the start/finish straight and out of the race. Werner, who had taken
Forty years since his retirement from Indycar racing, his stats put him in the pantheon. He raced in an era when reliability could not be taken for granted, so the fact that he amassed 35 wins – still eighth in the all-time list – is impressive enough. Yet it’s his 49 pole positions (fifth best
Most of the day’s quickest times were set in the two-hour afternoon session, with all but three drivers able to improve on Philip Ellis’ morning benchmark of 1m45.816s. Arjun Maini, Gotz and two-time DTM champion Marco Wittmann all managed to overhaul Ellis in the first hour of running after the mid-day break, before Formula E
F1 introduced all-new financial regulations for the 2021 season to enforce a new budget cap of $145 million per year for each team. Within the financial regulations, F1 lawmakers are permitted to sanction teams for breaches via financial penalties, minor sporting penalties, material sporting penalties or enhanced monitoring. Mercedes team principal Toto Wolff said on
Formula 1’s second visit to Portimao came threw up vastly different conditions to its inaugural grand prix last October, but ended with the same race winner in Lewis Hamilton. The slip-and-slide opening laps from last year’s race may not have been repeated, but low-grip conditions again left drivers facing a unique challenge on a track
Unser won the Indy 500 in 1968, 1975 and 1981, making him the only other driver than Rick Mears to win the event in three different decades. He also made one Formula 1 start for BRM in the 1968 US Grand Prix at Watkins Glen, when he retired with a blown engine. Born into a
Ingram was involved in arguably the biggest driver move of the silly season, switching from his long-time home at Speedworks Motorsport to join Exclr8 Motorsport, a relative new player in the BTCC having only joined the series in 2019. After seven years at Speedworks, where he drove Toyota Avensis and Corolla machinery, Ingram faces a
During the Portuguese GP weekend, the Swiss squad won the right to review the penalty handed to Raikkonen at the last race at Imola, when the FIA handed Raikkonen a 30-second post-race penalty for breaking rules under the red flag restart. On the lap prior to the restart, Raikkonen spun his Alfa Romeo at Turn
Bottas led the opening stages of the race after qualifying on pole position, but was overtaken by Mercedes team-mate Lewis Hamilton during the first stint of the race. The Finn slipped to third after Red Bull’s Max Verstappen was able to get the undercut and make a pass, only for the Mercedes driver to catch
Dixon dominated the Texas opener, leading almost all of the race and keeping clear of a late attack from Scott McLaughlin, who impressed on his oval debut to take second place. Perhaps most remarkably, Dixon’s success in the first race of the Texas Motor Speedway double-header means he has become the first driver to score
Practice for this evening’s first race on the 1.5-mile oval was delayed by two hours due to the dampness of the track, and the 90-minute session – which includes 10 minutes of two-stage pit speed limiter practice at the start and ‘hot’ pitstops in the final 30 minutes – will be the only time the
F1 introduced a new $145 million budget cap for the 2021 season, policed by an all-new set of financial regulations that worked alongside the sporting and technical rulebooks. The financial regulations state the sanctions for breaches can include financial penalties, minor sporting penalties, material sporting penalties or enhanced monitoring. But it has emerged that three
The Enstone-based outfit has had a more difficult start to the season than expected, as it has fallen away from the front of the midfield pack. However, it has been making rapid progress in recent weeks in bringing improvements to its A521 car and its drivers Esteban Ocon and Fernando Alonso enjoyed a stronger performance
What is a sprint race and why are they coming to F1? A sprint race is essentially a shortened version of a normal race, taking place over a shorter distance. They’re used in many other series, though perhaps most notably for Formula 1 is their inclusion in the Formula 2 race weekend. In F2 the
Alpine struggled to compete with midfield leaders McLaren, Ferrari and AlphaTauri through the first two race weekends of the year, scoring just three points across both Bahrain and Imola. But the French team appeared to make a big step forward on Friday in Portugal as Fernando Alonso and Ocon finished fifth and sixth in second
F1 agreed earlier this week for a trial of three 100km sprint races this year to decide the final grid. The first will take place at the British Grand Prix in July. While teams are still getting to grips with the strategic implications of the change to the weekend format, Ferrari’s Leclerc thinks, from the
