The Woking-based squad became the first team to take a 1-2 in 2021, with Daniel Ricciardo leading home Lando Norris at Monza. But despite the joy of the triumph, team principal Andreas Seidl is clear about just how much room for improvement he thinks his squad needs to make. He says that the drubbing it took compared […]

Verstappen’s Red Bull was launched into the air by the array of sausage kerbs, precipitating contact between the underside of his car and Hamilton’s halo.

Marquez got out of Q1 on Saturday at Misano by using Honda test rider Stefan Bradl as a reference for most of the session – a plan devised by Marquez, which was greenlit by HRC. In Q2 Marquez got his hooks into the back of eventual poleman Francesco Bagnaia in both of his runs in […]
Sainz spent two years at McLaren in 2019 and 2020 before deciding to move to Ferrari, with Daniel Ricciardo leaving Renault to fill the Spaniard’s seat.
