Vinales qualified 21st and finished last weekend’s German GP 19th in a baffling display which led him to lash out at Yamaha’s apparent disrespect in how it had handled his troubles in 2021 and claim he would copy team-mate Fabio Quartararo’s set-up at Assen. Though Vinales does have one of his M1s set up like Quartararo’s bike, […]
The Spaniard was locked in a tight fight with McLaren’s Lando Norris for fifth place in the Red Bull Ring race, but their battle was interrupted when Sainz got held up when he was lapped by Hamilton. Having been forced to let the second placed-Mercedes through after a switch to hard tyres, Sainz quickly found […]
On Monday morning Yamaha announced that it would be parting ways with Vinales at the end of this season, breaking contract one year earlier than planned following a deterioration in the relationship between both parties. Nine-time grand prix motorcycle world champion Rossi doesn’t have a contract with Yamaha for 2022 and admitted last Thursday that […]
The first race of Formula 1’s Austria double-header may not have quite hit the heights of last year’s thriller, but it offered up a very different result. It was a weekend that saw Mercedes soundly beaten – perhaps in the most comprehensive fashion since the start of the V6 hybrid era – by Max Verstappen […]
Mir’s difficulties in qualifying on the Suzuki in 2021 continued at Assen, with the Suzuki rider once again forced to fight his way through from the fourth row of the grid in 10th.

But with Red Bull having been spotted unloading from the back of vans a bunch of new parts at the Red Bull Ring, Mercedes says it has already stopped work on developing its 2021 F1 challenger. While Mercedes is convinced that its approach is best for the long term with a view to next year’s […]
The six-time world champion crashed in qualifying on Saturday and was forced to start from 20th on the grid for Sunday’s 26-lap Dutch TT. One of only three riders to go for the soft rear, Marquez had leaped up to 12th after the first lap and would go on to finish seventh, narrowly pipping Aprilia’s […]
Any film that needed to cover ground as wide as Adolf Hitler being at his parents’ wedding, punch-ups at fascist rallies, Formula 1 controversies, the dishing out of $100 million fines and a News of the World sex orgy expose, couldn’t really be anything else. Yet Mosley: It’s Complicated, which is released in cinemas next month,… […]
All the talk ahead of the Dutch TT centred on Vinales, who is sensationally considering quitting Yamaha at the end of 2021 to take up a seat with Aprilia as the relationship between the Spaniard and his team has deteriorated this season. Poleman Vinales got a good launch off the line but had his nose […]
It marked Red Bull’s fourth straight F1 victory, extending its lead at the top of both championships as Mercedes was left unable to respond to the pace of its fierce rival, who now looks harder to beat than ever. It left Lewis Hamilton asking Mercedes for an upgrade on his car after the race, only […]
