The Catalan Grand Prix differed significantly from MotoGP’s form book, as it was the first time since Silverstone that championship leader Marc Marquez didn’t have a clear advantage over the rest of the pack.
This paved the way for his younger brother Alex Marquez to end the weekend on top, but only after giving away what seemed like a sure-shot win in the sprint.
One couldn’t help but ...Keep reading

The Italian Grand Prix resulted in a dominant victory for Max Verstappen, at the track where Red Bull struggled massively last year and where Verstappen described the car as “a monster”. Twelve months on reality looked very different, helped by a specific low-downforce rear wing, a fresh Honda power unit and above all a slightly different approach to the race weekend.
“The car worked ...Keep reading

Mercedes team boss Toto Wolff says Formula 1's engine manufacturers are aligned in principle on a future move to V8 power units, but felt it didn't make financial sense to fast-track them before 2031.

Things are starting to look tight for Yuki Tsunoda. Much as we all like the affable Japanese Formula 1 driver, the numbers don’t lie: since stepping up from Red Bull’s B team to the main one, he has managed just nine points, while Max Verstappen has collected 194 in the same period, including three Grand Prix victories. Not even all the Campari in Milan can wash that down.
You can’t help ...Keep reading

With a year’s distance it does look like a total no-brainer, so it’s even difficult to imagine Mattia Binotto could’ve overlooked Gabriel Bortoleto in favour of anyone else through his binoculars. Yet, it really wasn’t.
It was around Monza in 2024 when rumours started to circulate around the paddock about Bortoleto being on Audi’s radar — even before his impressive "from last to ...Keep reading

Much to his father’s chagrin, Denny Hamlin does not do subtle, especially when it comes to celebrating and responding to fan jeers on the frontstretch.
For a bit, it was the ‘I just beat your favorite driver; all of them,’ and then when Dennis Hamlin (Sr.) shot that one down, his son brought up ’11 against the world,’ when he won earlier this season at Martinsville.
His dad really ...Keep reading

Porsche claimed its first World Endurance Championship Hypercar victory of the season in Austin as Laurens Vanthoor, Matt Campbell and Kevin Estre triumphed in a chaotic wet-weather race.

The countdown has begun
You never say never, but Denny Hamlin seems to know exactly when he is going to retire, which makes seasons like this and victories like Sunday at Gateway all the more rewarding.
Hamlin will turn 45 the week after this season ends, and from the looks of it, that will leave just two more seasons after this one to accomplish all the things he wants before moving onto ...Keep reading

It's been an unusual year for Christopher Bell, who won three of the first four races this season. However, the driver of the No. 20 Joe Gibbs Racing Toyota hasn't been to Victory Lane in months — since March, to be exact.
What makes that fact more unusual is his team, JGR, has gone on to win five races with Denny Hamlin and two with Chase Briscoe, including the first two races of the 2025 ...Keep reading

Two former NASCAR Cup champions had a surprising run-in with each other during Sunday's race at WWT Raceway (Gateway).
While battling for fifth position near the end of Stage 2, Kyle Larson made an aggressive lunge to the inside of Ryan Blaney. He slid up the track and made contact with Blaney, fully sending the No. 12 Team Penske Ford around into a spin.
While Blaney rebounded to finish ...Keep reading

The drivers and teams report back on all the action at the Autodromo Nazionale Monza, for the 2025 Italian Grand Prix.

Austin Dillon entered the NASCAR Cup playoff race at WWT Raceway eight points below the cutline, and desperately needed to make up ground.
Unfortunately, both he and teammate Kyle Busch (who failed to make the playoffs) struggled with the balance of their Richard Childress Racing Chevrolets.
Busch triggered the first caution of the race, spinning on his own at the exit of Turn 2. Dillon ...Keep reading
