An Amazon X-Prix event and the following season finale in Brazil were both cancelled due to the COVID-19 crisis in the South America that forced the respective course recces to be canned.

Marciello and Juncadella both went fastest when they were at the wheel of the #88 ASP Mercedes-AMG GT3 in their respective sessions, while Gounon was third quickest in the final 15-minute segment of qualifying for the double-points round of the GT World Challenge Europe. Their average time of 2m18.433s put them four tenths clear of

With the controversy over the collision between Hamilton and Verstappen at Silverstone showing no sign of dying down, both drivers spoke at length about the incident for the first time in Hungary on Thursday. Reflecting on the specifics of the crash, with Hamilton making a move down the inside into Copse, the world champion was

The iconic German street circuit was originally slated to hold its annual DTM round in early July, taking its traditional spot on the calendar after the season opener at Monza.

2020 F2 champion Schumacher graduated to F1 this year with Haas, and has so far led its efforts at the rear of the field, beating teammate Nikita Mazepin in all but two races both drivers have finished.

Title rivals Verstappen and Hamilton collided while fighting for the lead of the race at Copse on the opening lap of the British Grand Prix two weeks ago, resulting in a 51G crash for Red Bull driver Verstappen. Hamilton was hit with a 10-second time penalty for causing a collision, but recovered to win the

This season the F1 feeder categories debuted a radical format featuring fewer events but the same amount of races held per weekend in a bid to reduce the costs to teams. F2 and F3 were split from F1 support bills at grand prix events with both championships adopting a new three-race format, featuring a divisive

The FIA announced on Tuesday that Red Bull have protested the penalty that Lewis Hamilton received at the Formula 1 British Grand Prix, believing it wasn’t harsh enough. This isn’t the first time an F1 team has protested a penalty, but have the FIA ever changed a penalty after a protest, and have they ever

Following its examination of the accident and the decision by the FIA stewards to deem that Hamilton was ‘predominantly’ to blame for the collision, Red Bull has pushed forward with its desire to take the matter further. The FIA has confirmed that, in according with its International Sporting Code (ISC), Red Bull has lodged a

Ferrari has shown flashes of speed during the 2021 F1 season, with Charles Leclerc’s two poles in Monaco and Azerbaijan particularly highlighting the Scuderia’s one-lap pace. But Ferrari has often been held back by tyre issues on Sundays, its rubber overheating as it tried to keep pace with its competitors in the pack. After a

The Belgian, who Mercedes motorsport boss Toto Wolff reckons “deserves to be in Formula 1″ amid links to a Williams seat in 2022, snared pole at the ExCeL on Sunday and had earned an early control over the race.  But Vandoorne lost the lead after Lucas di Grassi controversially drove through the pitlane during a

Off the back of a recent run of encouraging races, including Leclerc finishing runner-up at the British GP, the Italian squad is upbeat about the progress it is making with its SF21. And heading to this weekend’s race at Budapest, the team is well aware of how strong it was at F1’s last high downforce

Audi driver di Grassi climbed from eighth into the lead when he travelled through the 50km/h limited short London ExCeL pitlane during a particularly slow safety car period. While allowed under the rules, di Grassi did not come to a complete stop in the pitbox and so was dealt a drivethrough penalty, which was not

Lotterer was handed a drivethrough penalty for his role in the shunt on the approach to Turn 1, which triggered the safety car that allowed Lucas di Grassi to controversially nick the lead. Da Costa had closed the gap to the Porsche driver with the 35kW attack mode and lined him up on the main

Abt Sportsline’s van der Linde was on course to become the first repeat winner of the year having taken over the lead during the mandatory round of pitstops. But a sudden stoppage cost him the lead, promoting HRT Mercedes of Gotz to the top spot. At the start of the race, front- row starter Liam

The Team Hansen driver, who had claimed a debut win at the 2019 Abu Dhabi round in the stewards room post-race, crossed the finished line first at the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya after a close battle in the final with the highest qualifier, his brother Timmy Hansen, and triple World RX title-winner Johan Kristoffersson. The Hansen

Frijns was handed a five-second penalty in the London E-Prix, classifying 13th, after his Envision Virgin Racing machine tangled with Eriksson through the Turn 11 hairpin.

Ellis had moved from his mid-grid starting position to fifth in the opening laps, before the safety car was deployed when Esmee Hawkey (T3 Motorsport Lamborghini) crashed heavily into the concrete wall.

A tweak to the usual weekend format moved the longer opening practice run to Friday evening, after a morning shakedown, as the world’s first indoor-outdoor circuit made its official debut.  The tight 22-turn course is expected to produce processional racing with limited space for overtaking, while even a 4kWh race energy deduction made by the

Abril finished second and 11th across the two races in Italy last month, making him the top Mercedes driver in the points standings in fourth position ahead of this weekend’s second round at the Lausitzring.

The Hyundai Motorsport driver has announced that he has split with Borja Rozada, who only took over the seat earlier this year from long-time co-driver Carlos del Barrio, with whom Sordo scored his three WRC wins.

Castroneves lost his full-time Team Penske IndyCar ride in 2017, as he switched across to the Acura Team Penske program in IMSA, culminating in the 2020 drivers’ championship. However, following the end of that project, he was cut loose by Penske after 21 years and signed for six races in the second MSR car alongside

Last week Dale Coyne told Autosport: “So long as they continue to be in IndyCar, I think ‘Sulli’ and Jimmy will remain partners with us. They’re not going to go out on their own, and I don’t think other teams can give them what we give them.” However, Sullivan has painted a different picture of

The 23-year-old Kentishman, who scored one British GT race victory last season in a McLaren, will take the seat vacated by Glynn Geddie following the opening three rounds.  Mitchell graduated to the top GT3 echelon of British GT after claiming the GT4 crown in 2018 in a BMW.  In 2014, he won the BTCC-supporting Ginetta

Raikkonen made the comment via team radio after finishing the British Grand Prix out of the points in 15th place. The Finn had gained places at the start in both the Saturday sprint and in the grand prix itself. He spent the latter part of the main event battling with Red Bull’s Sergio Perez, but

That’s a point not lost on 2012 Cup champion Keselowski, who at an official presentation announcing his long-anticipated team switch for 2022 on Tuesday went out of his way to compare his new driver/owner role at Roush to Tony Stewart’s move into a similar position at Haas CNC Racing in 2009. As Keselowski noted, Stewart

The Sustainable Circuits Index white paper, which has been produced by Enovation Consulting and Right Hub, uses 21 different industry specific and United Nations criteria to judge the environmentally-friendly ranking of tracks around the world.

Corberi was condemned by the motorsport community after a video of the 2020 world karting finals at Lonato went viral on social media, where the 23-year-old was seen throwing a bumper at fellow karter Paolo Ippolito after being involved in a collision with him the previous lap. In another video that emerged later, Corberi appeared

IndyCar points leader Alex Palou reckons he would have done what both Max Verstappen and Lewis Hamilton did at Silverstone, adding all passing attempts in IndyCar are “on the limit”. Hamilton’s passing attempt at Copse corner in Sunday’s British Grand Prix resulted in contact that sent Verstappen’s Red Bull off-track and hard into the safety

And although the characteristics of Silverstone were going to help its chances, key to progress was a much talked about upgrade that had been in the pipeline for a while. While Red Bull had been pretty aggressive by bringing regular smaller updates, Mercedes had been biding its time to bring something more major at once.
