Starting first and second on the grid, all eyes were on the title rivals Bagnaia and Pramac’s Martin, with the former grabbing the holeshot. But a hard charge from Alex Marquez proved too much for Bagnaia to resist, while an issue with debris getting caught in his factory Ducati’s front right wing further hindered him […]
The first-ever Netflix Cup is taking place later this month with some of this year’s Formula 1 drivers competing alongside some PGA Tour players. Teams will be gearing up to compete during a heated competition in Las Vegas just ahead of the Grand Prix. Four drivers from Netflix’s Drive to Survive will compete alongside the […]
Four-time grand prix winner Bastianini was chosen over Martin to take Jack Miller’s place at the factory Ducati squad for this year, following his better performances in 2022 with Gresini Racing.

Marquez jumped from fourth on the grid to secure his second sprint win of the season, beating Martin by over 1.5s on his year-old Ducati. The Spaniard fought hard with early race leader Francesco Bagnaia, as well as Martin, on his way to the front of the pack and proved no match for either with […]
Last week it emerged that Haas had lodged a petition with the FIA to review various track limit breaches in Austin, asserting that several drivers had benefited from abusing track limits at COTA’s Turn 6, that were not properly policed by race control. Afterwards, several teams raised questions after seeing on-board images of competitors apparently […]
Bagnaia and Martin are split by just 13 points ahead of this afternoon’s sprint contest at the Sepang International Circuit, which set up a critical qualifying on Saturday morning. Pramac’s Martin looked set to add a third-straight pole to his tally of four for the season when he posted a lap record 1m57.549s on his […]
Prior to the United States Grand Prix last month, AlphaTauri sat bottom of the teams’ standings. It ran seven points adrift of ninth-placed Haas with only five rounds remaining.
