Lando Norris qualified second for last week’s Dutch Grand Prix behind Max Verstappen, the latest evidence of the giant leap McLaren has made with its B-spec upgrade it deployed before the summer break. That overhaul allowed it to challenge Mercedes, Ferrari and Aston Martin in the ever-fluctuating fight behind Red Bull, with no team being able […]
The small bowtie-shaped device was located under the rear crash structure, in an area that has not previously been exploited by teams, and was designed to work in conjunction with the latest floor updates. Positioned exactly where the rear of the car is lifted in the pits meant Aston had to redesign the jack in […]
Bezzecchi made his MotoGP debut in 2022 with the Valentino Rossi-owned squad and scored a maiden podium in that year’s Dutch GP. Remaining with the team for this season, Bezzecchi has been a consistent frontrunner, scoring two grand prix victories as he sits third in the standings on a year-old bike. Bezzecchi has been one […]
After a wet and wild Dutch GP, Max Verstappen delighted his home fans with a ninth victory in a row – putting him alongside Sebastian Vettel’s all-time record of most consecutive F1 wins. Therefore the Red Bull driver has the opportunity to take the record outright this weekend with a 10th straight triumph. Verstappen remains the […]
Triggered by the retirement of Sebastian Vettel, a whirlwind whipped through the paddock as Fernando Alonso’s Aston Martin switch kicked off a fight between Alpine and McLaren over Oscar Piastri that was only resolved by F1’s Contracts Recognition Board on the Zandvoort weekend.

The tapping down of his bottle on the top step bounced the trophy off, and it toppled over […]
At Monza, the SF-23 machine will wear added yellow V stripes across the nose cone and engine cover. This is in deference to the paint job worn by the 499P Hypercar that won the blue-riband World Endurance Championship event earlier this year on the 100th anniversary of Le Mans. PLUS: How Ferrari scored a historic […]
The new addition could be found beneath the AMR23’s rear crash structure, as the designers had found a way to utilise a small bowtie-style winglet to work in conjunction with changes that were also made to the surface of the diffuser. While the team did not race the item in the end, its introduction should […]
Having been at Ducati for the last four years, first with Avintia and then Pramac, Zarco has signed a two-year deal to join Honda and LCR in 2024 replacing Yamaha-bound Alex Rins. It will mark the second time Zarco has ridden the Honda in the premier class, having been drafted in to replace the injured […]
