In NASCAR's 'win and you're in' championship format, winning a race is the most important thing a driver can do during the season. No matter where a driver is in points, if they compete full-time and win any regular season race, then they immediately become part of the playoff battle.

While the weekend began with some travel ...Keep reading

The closing stages of the Canadian Grand Prix delivered many talking points, as the top five were closely bunched together and Lando Norris hit his team-mate Oscar Piastri. But the drama didn’t end yet after the chequered flag, thanks to a protest lodged by Red Bull.

Toto Wolff offered some words of wisdom to McLaren after team-mates Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri collided for the first time at the Canadian Grand Prix. The pair are in the midst of a championship fight and Zak Brown previously said it was “inevitable” that they would come together at some point – much like Lewis Hamilton and Nico Rosberg’s fractious 2016 season.
Wolff joked that ...Keep reading

Christian Horner has revealed that Red Bull asked the Canadian Grand Prix race director to be on the lookout for any “gamesmanship” from Formula 1 rivals towards Max Verstappen.

George Russell has joked that he would consider doing a nude calendar if he does not secure a seat in F1 next season.
After his win in the Canadian Grand Prix, Russell was asked about a video on social media that suggested he should jump into the Olympic rowing basin adjacent to the paddock in celebration.
Russell explained that he had been working with German photographer Paul Ripke, who ...Keep reading

The MotoGP safety car is a crucial part of a race weekend. Responsible for nullifying a race and dictating the speeds of the riders, it is also usually the first response vehicle on site whenever there is a crash and can provide any necessary assistance.
There are other tasks too, including inspecting the track on sighting laps, and assessing the risks posed to riders in all conditions.
At ...Keep reading

Le Mans 24 Hours LMP2 class winner Nick Yelloly described this year's edition as featuring "more ups and downs than I've ever seen" after a roller-coaster final hour.
Yelloly's #43 Inter Europol ORECA-Gibson 07 he shared with Tom Dillmann and 2023 class winner Jakub Smiechowski had been in an incredibly close battle with the #48 VDS Panis Racing crew of Esteban Masson, Oliver Gray and Franck ...Keep reading

It was bound to eventually happen and it did. Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri came to blows during the Canadian Grand Prix as the McLaren pair contend for the 2025 Formula 1 title. 
Only this time, the fallout came without the drama of previous team-mate clashes - think, Lewis Hamilton and Nico Rosberg in Barcelona; Ayrton Senna and Alain Prost in, well, lots of places really. 
Norris knew ...Keep reading

Winner: Ferrari
A fourth win in as many races in the 2025 World Endurance Championship, a third straight victory at Le Mans. What more can Ferrari ask for? A 1-2-3, one might pedantically answer – which was a real possibility, such was the dominance of the 499Ps in terms of race pace, but Porsche denied Ferrari a lock-out by snatching second place.
Admittedly, Ferrari can be thankful for ...Keep reading

Charles Leclerc admitted his weekend at the Canadian Grand Prix was far from perfect, but insisted he’s not looking to “prove anybody wrong.” The Ferrari driver, who finished P5, wasn’t happy with the team’s strategy calls throughout the “frustrating” race around the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve.

Kubica triumphed alongside Phil Hanson and Yifei Ye in the satellite #83 AF Corse Ferrari 499P LMH but spent much of the race battling with the full factory sister cars.
However, the #83 was plagued with gearbox troubles throughout ...Keep reading

For a championship that’s measured in nanoseconds, five hours and thirty minutes is an eternity.
Incredibly, in a world of high-definition video cameras integrated into car parts, real-time sensors, GPS trackers, AI technology, and the sophisticated FIA Remote Operations Centre (ROC) in Geneva, it still took that long after the chequered flag to confirm that George Russell had won the Formula ...Keep reading

What on earth was Lando Norris thinking? The way he collided with Oscar Piastri on lap 67 of the 2025 Canadian Grand Prix looked, frankly, amateurish. The McLaren driver saw a gap nobody else did – because it wasn’t there – and drove straight into the back of his own team-mate. My suspicion: after his overtaking attempt in the final corner narrowly failed, he was desperate to capitalise on ...Keep reading

There's no doubt that three-time Supercars champion Shane van Gisbergen is one of the best road racers in NASCAR, again proving it in the inaugural Cup race at Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez in Mexico City.
SVG ended up leading 60 of 100 laps, winning by 16.567 seconds in the biggest margin of victory seen in any Cup race since 2009. It's also the biggest margin of victory for any Cup race at ...Keep reading

Lewis Hamilton must have left Montreal feeling like it was Groundhog Day after an accident with a marmot left him unable to challenge for a strong result at the Canadian Grand Prix.

In one sense, Sunday’s Bommarito Automotive Group 500 continued a trend for the NTT IndyCar Series field. For the eighth time to open the season, one of two familiar faces ended up in victory lane. 
But this one came as a pleasant surprise for Andretti Global’s Kyle Kirkwood. 
Kirkwood took over the lead with an undercut on the final set of pit stops and kept Pato O'Ward at bay over ...Keep reading
