The four-time Formula 1 World Champion, driving for Aston Martin, remarked in an interview during last weekend’s F1 Miami Grand Prix that he prefers “proper” US tracks such as Road America to the street course in Miami Gardens. Respected IndyCar blogger Matt Archuleta quoted the German ace’s comment on Twitter which drew a response from […]
In FP2 George Russell was fastest and Lewis Hamilton was fourth, suggesting that the team had found something that worked at the Miami track. However, neither driver was able to repeat that sort of form from Saturday onwards, as other teams were able to extract more pace from their cars. They eventually finished Sunday’s race […]
The 2022 Bahrain and Australian GP winner was on his third lap aboard the 1972 Ferrari 312B3 as part of a parade alongside ex-Ferrari driver and six-time Le Mans victor Jacky Ickx. Leclerc headed out for a slow sighter lap but soon picked up the pace and on his third lap, lost the rear of […]

Russell and his team-mate Lewis Hamilton finished fifth and sixth in Miami last weekend, although they were well off the pace of the Red Bulls and Ferraris ahead.
