Simply put, combination of poor luck, and Sunoco Team LeMans not getting to grips with the new Yokohama tyres after two decades with Bridgestone as the spec tyre. Kobayashi had more fastest laps than he did points […]

I’ll say this, Sekiguchi’s drive at Sugo was truly reminiscent of what Michael Schumacher could do in his prime. (Ironically, MSC’s only race in what is now Super Formula was 25 years ago, and it was also at […]

They’re changing the name of the series to the Supercars Championship, dropping the “V8” from the title as a reflection of a future move away from an all-V8 formula.
Which, looking back in the Group A era with […]

Celis was actually not terrible in testing. Two FP1s in and now he’s struggling to clear the Haryanto Line.

He’s still younger than every active racing driver other than Verstappen. He beat far more vaunted GP2 rookies like Pierre Gasly and Alex Lynn in the championship standings last year, with a team that’s nowhere […]

I remember not too long ago I was entirely down on Indycar. On this very site. Often.
Now I’m looking forward to it, perhaps even more so than F1. That hasn’t happened in many years for me.
