Tsunoda finished 10th in the Australian Grand Prix after spending much of the race fighting McLaren’s Oscar Piastri. Through Albert Park’s fastest speed trap – at the second intermediate timing point – he was 17th fastest, logging 314.2 km/h compared to the 339.9 km/h of the fastest car, the Red Bull of Sergio Perez.

Bautista switched from MotoGP to World Superbikes from the 2019 season, which coincided with the first year of the production-based series’ three-race format per round – one full length race each on Saturday and Sunday plus a sprint race on Sunday morning. The Spaniard feels that the level of aggression in the sprint races needs […]
Krack conceded that the Silverstone team was encouraged by the strong form shown across the first three tracks on the schedule, but insisted that small margins will make a difference from weekend to weekend.

Perez was among those involved as he went across the grass and […]
Stroll was seventh into the first corner at the chaotic ‘third’ start, but he jumped up to third as Carlos Sainz tapped Fernando Alonso into a spin while Pierre Gasly and Sergio Perez both went wide.

Fortune went the way of both McLaren drivers during a hectic event at Albert Park, with the chaotic final restart leaving Piastri in eighth place and his team-mate Lando Norris in sixth.
