Sainz qualified second for his home race, but as has been the case in previous races, Ferrari’s comparatively poor race pace made him slide backwards, his Ferrari struggling with the bumpy and fast nature of the Barcelona circuit as it was outclassed by Mercedes on tyre management. After an early first pitstop, Sainz went from […]
McLaren driver Norris qualified a season-best third in Spain, but his hopes of a points finish were curtailed on the first lap when he clashed with Hamilton’s Mercedes at Turn 2 and had to pit at the end of the opening tour. Hamilton escaped without significant damage and went on to finish second. Speaking after […]
Mercedes persisted with its troubled 2022 car concept in the belief that dialling out porpoising would unlock its true potential on the new W14.

The feature documentary project was announced by Apple in March of last year. It will entail a film crew shadowing the seven-time world champion both in the F1 paddock and in his personal life. This and archive footage will be spliced alongside high-profile interviewees. While details thereafter are scarce, it is known that the behind-the-scenes […]
The car has regularly been fast over one lap, which was evident once again at the Spanish GP, where Carlos Sainz qualified second. However, the team continues to struggle in races, with the car behaving differently from stint to stint. In Barcelona, Sainz slipped down to fifth place at the flag, while from a pitlane […]
Earlier this year, the FIA opened up the tender process for F1’s official supply contract from 2025 to 2027, with the possibility of it being extended until 2028.

The floor was exposed after Logan Sargeant crashed at the final corner in FP3 in Barcelona and his car was loaded onto a truck. That came just a week after the undersides of the Red Bull RB19 and Mercedes W14 were both captured after accidents in Monaco led to them being craned away. The apparent […]
