Bagnaia led a Ducati 1-2 ahead of team-mate Jack Miller on Saturday at Le Mans, setting a new lap record of 1m30.450s to claim his second pole of the 2022 campaign. Quartararo was involved in the pole battle through to the chequered flag, but had to concede defeat and settle for fourth on his […]
Last season, the fight between Horner and Mercedes chief Toto Wolff became personal at times as the pair sometimes engaged in a war of words. PLUS: How diplomacy between F1’s heavyweights died in 2021 But despite things being very close between Red Bull and Ferrari this season, so far there has not been any public […]
The Italian set a new lap record on Saturday in France to claim his second-successive pole position and Ducati’s first at Le Mans.

KTM made a strong start to the 2022 season with its new RC16 after an initially difficult testing phase. Brad Binder took second in the Qatar Grand Prix and Miguel Oliveira won in a wet Indonesia, but results have been far more inconsistent since then. Oliveira was 12th last time out in Spain having been fifth […]
Record TV figures, a sell-out crowd and an influx of star power helped make it one of F1’s biggest events to date, further laying the foundations for the expansion to three American races next year once Las Vegas joins the calendar. But for Michael Andretti, more needs to be done to grow American interest in F1 […]
This weekend’s race at Le Mans marks the first round since last week’s shock reveal that Suzuki will leave MotoGP at the end of the campaign, with the Japanese marque officially confirming its intentions on Thursday at Le Mans.
