Fry started working at Williams in November after leaving a similar role at Alpine earlier this year, as a key figure in overhauling the team after years of underinvestment. The former Benetton, Ferrari and McLaren man has been tasked with identifying and providing what each technical department at Grove needs for long-term success. Fry started […]
The Scuderia narrowly missed out on second in the constructors’ standings by three points to Mercedes but collected fewer than half the points of runaway title winner Red Bull. While the 2023 car could compete in qualifying, with Sainz and Charles Leclerc notching seven pole positions, race pace was lacking. It also suffered from an […]
Central to the changes are new power unit regulations, with a move to fully sustainable fuel and tweaked turbo-hybrids, eradicating the MGU-H, having brought Audi in and convinced Honda to do a U-turn on leaving. But it is not only the engines that are new, and there are going to be major revisions to the […]
Albon logged all but one of the team’s 28 points, making the top 10 seven times in grands prix, and also scoring in a sprint race. He started in the top six at Zandvoort, Monza and Las Vegas, and his only real mistake came when he spun off in Australia, although first lap incidents in […]
When the 2026-30 engine specification was being devised, both Audi and Porsche seemed ready to commit to the series. This increased the emphasis on sustainability and road relevancy. The outcome was a 50:50 power split between internal combustion engine and electrical output. But as initial simulator data was provided to teams, concerns were raised about […]
McLaren enjoyed a remarkable form turnaround in 2023 after a string of mid-season upgrades turned the MCL60 driven by Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri car into a regular podium contender. The upturn in form, which was the result of a technical restructure implemented by incoming team principal Stella, allowed the Woking squad to overtake Aston […]
Brivio joined Alpine at the start of the 2021 season as its racing director in F1, having the previous year guided Suzuki to its first MotoGP world championship in 20 years with Joan Mir. The Italian was moved out of the F1 team for the 2022 season, however, to head its young driver programme as […]
Bearman dovetailed his maiden F2 campaign, which yielded four wins and a sixth place in the standings, with two FP1 sessions for Ferrari customer Haas. He then ran a full day for the American team in F1’s post-season Abu Dhabi test, as well as undertaking simulator duties. The young Briton hopes his impressive 2023 grand […]
Alonso jumped ship from Alpine to Aston Martin for 2023 and was rewarded for his bold move with a competitive car that yielded six podiums across the first eight races of the season. He then added two more podium finishes after the summer break to finish fourth in the drivers’ championship, on equal points with […]
The SF-23 proved most competitive in qualifying, with Sainz and team-mate Charles Leclerc combining to land seven grand prix pole positions. That one-lap success was partly enabled by Red Bull paying close attention to race pace to then pull clear over a longer stint, although Ferrari eased the pressure by struggling to manage the tyres. Unlocking the […]
