Not that this was a priority, since Resta had a more pressing task ahead: arranging a move to the UK, where he was to join Mercedes as strategic development director. That move was announced in March last year, just two months after he returned to Maranello from a secondment at Haas.
Resta ...Keep reading

NASCAR is one of the few forms of motorsport that do not celebrate the podium finishers after each race. In fact, it has never really happened in a points-paying event. NASCAR did utilize a small podium for the exhibition race held at the L.A. Memorial Coliseum for three years, but that's about it.
But when the sport takes its top division to Mexico for the first time, they plan to utilize the ...Keep reading
