Verstappen “learned a lot of patience” in early Red Bull F1 years

Verstappen’s meteoric rise in F1 took another trajectory when he won his first race with Red Bull in the 2016 Spanish Grand Prix as an 18-year-old, but further success was harder to come by in an era dominated by Mercedes.
The 2017 rules reset kept Mercedes at the front, with Ferrari becoming the Brackley team’s most regular challenger while Red Bull’s Renault engine deal turned sour and a 2019 …Keep reading

2023 F1 Monaco GP – How to watch, session timings and more

Following flooding in the Emilia-Romagna region last week, F1 called off its Imola race weekend to create an impromptu break in the calendar.

ETRC: Hahn settles into the lead after season-opening Misano round

ETRC: Hahn settles into the lead after season-opening Misano round

Sport news

It was the reigning champion Norbert Kiss who qualified on pole position on Saturday morning. In Race 1, leading the field away, the Hungarian looked to be breaking away from the pack until a mechanical failure forced the four-time champion to stop at Turn 1, ending his race prematurely.

Hahn inherited the lead and quickly began to build a comfortable advantage and eventually won the race, starting pursuit of his seventh FIA ETRC title, and his first since 2019.

The second race of the day proved that despite early trouble, Kiss still is a force to be reckoned with. Starting from the back of the grid in wet weather conditions, it only took Kiss three laps to break into the top five.

By lap four, Kiss was right up with the leading Sascha Lenz. The German defended hard, but ultimately Kiss found his way through and went on to win the race.

The Hungarian secured his second pole position in as many days on Sunday morning and then converted it into a victory in Race 3.

In the final encounter of the weekend, Kiss managed fifth, after what was a hard-fought contest with archrival Hahn, who cross the finish line one place ahead of Kiss.

A victory and a podium plus a fourth and a fifth place allowed Hahn to accumulate a total of 45 points, six more than his closest rival, Antonio Albacete, who was victorious in Race 4 (taking his first win since Misano 2022), but also scored two more podiums and a sixth place.

After what was a weekend of mixed fortunes, Kiss sits third in the standings, nine points down on Hahn.

The second round of the eight-event Goodyear FIA ETRC schedule will be held at the Slovakia Ring from 10-11 June.

F1 critics should not be “selfish” with views, says Domenicali

Despite F1’s dramatic boost in popularity under owner Liberty Media, there has been some kickback from drivers about certain aspects of grand prix weekends.
As well as some disapproval of the recent Miami pre-race entertainment show, F1’s switch to a sprint race format at several weekends has not been universally popular.
Most recently, double world champion Max Verstappen suggested that if …Keep reading
