NASCAR has a well-earned reputation of being a full-contact sport on the race track with drivers given far more leeway than they are in most other racing series. However, there are still times when a driver crosses some unspoken line, leading to widespread condemnation throughout the garage and even penalties from the sanctioning body.
With the fallout from last weekend’s controversial NASCAR ...Keep reading

Though Denny Hamlin won Sunday's NASCAR Cup race at Martinsville in dominant fashion, leading 274 of 400 laps, with a clean 75-lap run to the finish — the Xfinity race was a very different story. With just 100 laps to go, the drivers managed to earn nine cautions, all culminating in a last-lap melee  at the front of the field. Sammy Smith came from several car lengths back, intentionally ...Keep reading

The saga surrounding Yuki Tsunoda’s promotion and Liam Lawson’s demotion to Racing Bulls is thus: for years now, around and through Max Verstappen’s multiple world titles, Red Bull has been a one-car Formula 1 squad.
Since Daniel Ricciardo’s exit from the peak of his F1 career in 2018, Pierre Gasly, Alex Albon, Sergio Perez and now Lawson have tried and failed to cope with driving a car ...Keep reading

On the evidence of the first three MotoGP weekends in 2025, it’s easy to conclude that Alex Marquez has a mental barrier to conquer when it comes to beating his brother Marc.
After all, Marc is a six-time MotoGP world champion, while Alex is still waiting patiently for his first race win in the top category.
At this stage of the season, however, Alex Marquez has established himself as the ...Keep reading

Andrea Kimi Antonelli’s smartphone pings to signal the arrival of his Thursday schedule. As with all things Mercedes, its promptness is matched by its detail: a little over 24 hours remain until his first race-weekend track session as a fully-fledged Formula 1 driver, but he has already been in Melbourne for several days to align his body clock with the local timings.
"Are we really going to ...Keep reading

Marc Marquez has settled into life as a factory Ducati rider perfectly well, having won five (three sprints and two grands prix) of the opening six races in the 2025 MotoGP season.
The six-time world champion is second in the championship, one point behind younger brother Alex, largely due to Marc’s crash at the Americas Grand Prix in Austin. 
Nevertheless, very insightful footage has ...Keep reading

Will Tsunoda prove Red Bull right?
It's a huge weekend for Yuki Tsunoda, as all eyes will be on him from the first laps on Friday – not just because he's finally got himself in the Red Bull seat he's been dreaming about for so long, but because his debut with the team coincides with his home race.

The term 'commissioner' is something fans of most stick-and-ball sports are extremely familiar with. The NFL has Roger Goodell, the NBA has Adam Silver, the MLB has Rob Manfred, but it's a role that hasn't really existed in the same form in NASCAR.
Now, stock car racing has used the title before, but not in the traditional sense. It's been purely ceremonial or limited in its actual power ...Keep reading

Yuki Tsunoda is gearing up for a very busy week — both on and off the track. The Japanese driver, who is set to replace Liam Lawson at Red Bull when F1 heads to his home country this weekend, is also launching his clothing brand, Venti Due, set to be available for fans to purchase online, or at a pop-up in Suzuka City.
His first drop features hoodies, crew necks, oversized jerseys, balloon ...Keep reading

NASCAR completed its triple-header weekend at Martinsville Speedway featuring three very different races and plenty of drama. Most of the conversation centers around the highly controversial finish to Saturday's Xfinity race, but there was plenty of action beyond that. Denny Hamlin, Austin Hill and Daniel Hemric walked away with checkered flags as Hendrick Motorsports failed to repeat their 1-2-3 ...Keep reading

The early signs have been positive for Lewis Hamilton. While the team has not been able to execute either race weekend in Australia and China perfectly, Hamilton took his first sprint pole and victory in Shanghai as a welcome boost to his stint with the Italian powerhouse.
Hamilton has spoken at length about how he is still getting up to speed to extract the maximum out of the 2025 car, which ...Keep reading

What began as a rainy race weekend at the Circuit of Americas morphed into an insightful, albeit chaotic event for MotoGP. Perhaps all set off on race day by Marc Marquez's sudden sprint off of the grid, which led to the rest of the field abandoning their bikes, aborting the start, and causing a 10-minute delay as everyone rethought their tyre strategy for the race. What it did provide was an ...Keep reading

Sebastien Ogier will contest the Rally Islas Canarias next month as Toyota will field five cars at the next round of the 2025 World Rally Championship season.

The man himself frames it as fate. After an often frustrating four-year F1 apprenticeship with Red Bull’s junior team, during which the prospect of promotion diminished and then seemed to vanish entirely, Yuki Tsunoda is now where he thinks he always should have been.
Trouble is, that’s what the driver he is replacing thought. And the one before him. And – rinse and repeat.
Being Max ...Keep reading

Victor Martins has joined the Williams Racing Driver Academy following his recent exit from Alpine’s counterpart.
Martins had been part of the Enstone-based program in 2018-19, then from 2021-24, with a one-year hiatus when he narrowly lost the 2019 Formula Renault Eurocup title – and his spot in the academy – to Oscar Piastri.
Although he was eventually crowned in FR Eurocup as well ...Keep reading

Fifth in the championship, 17 points. Such is Ferrari's situation, two grands prix into the 2025 Formula 1 campaign. The Scuderia was a pre-season favorite alongside McLaren, but has not lived up to expectations thus far – though it's not the first time in the last decade and a half with the current points system for the top 10 finishers of a grand prix.
 2025 - 5th, 17 points (after two ...Keep reading

There’s another common denominator beyond Lando Norris on the first two grand prix podiums of 2025: George Russell. He was third in both the Australian and Chinese Grands Prix – and yet, as with Orson Welles in The Third Man, the spotlight has flitted over him but briefly before alighting on other targets.
Principally that’s because he extracted the maximum from his Mercedes in both races ...Keep reading
