The Austrian manufacturer has won a race at least once a season since 2020, but consistency has eluded the marque in that time. While Miguel Oliveira won twice in 2022, he did so in wet conditions, and was only 10th in the standings, while all of KTM’s dry podiums were courtesy of Binder with rostrums […]
Just look at how Sebastian Vettel’s decision to retire before F1’s summer break set off a chain of events that ended up with Fernando Alonso at Aston Martin, Pierre Gasly at Alpine and Nyck de Vries at AlphaTauri (and that’s ignoring the Oscar Piastri to McLaren shenanigans).

The Briton returned to racing for RNF for the final six rounds of 2022 after Andrea Dovizioso retired following the San Marino Grand Prix in September. Crutchlow retired from full-time racing after the 2020 season, but deputised for the injured Morbidelli at Petronas SRT last year at the Styrian and Austrian GPs, before briefly replacing […]
