There seems little doubt that some of F1’s previous great wet weather drives – think Ayrton Senna at Portugal in 1985, Michael Schumacher at Barcelona in 1996 and Damon Hill at Suzuka in 1994 – would not have happened these days because the races would never have been allowed to start. This has led to […]
Phillip Island was left under water following heavy rain on Thursday, but the weather had cleared by the time FP1 got underway and dry conditions would stick for the rest of the day.

The 22-year-old was involved in a multi-rider incident during last weekend’s Supersport 300 race at Portimao as part of the World Superbike support package. Steeman suffered severe head injuries which he tragically succumbed to on Tuesday. He is the second rider in the space of a year to have been killed riding in the Supersport […]
