Just after the halfway mark, on lap 36, De Vries made a bold overtake into Turn 1 while the pair were squabbling over 12th place.
Magnussen refused to yield on the outside, which became the inside for Turn 2, and the pair then traded glancing blows, which allowed Mercedes’ George Russell past.
De Vries and Magnussen continued their fight towards Turn 3, where De Vries outbraked himself on …Keep reading

How Aston Martin played it coy with its major Canada F1 upgrade

But there was a lot more to the upgrade than initially met the eye, especially as the team was fairly coy when it came to detailing the changes it had made in the official car presentation submission document before the action got underway.
This is usual fare to be honest though, as all of the teams have, over time, become more accustomed to generalising the changes being made to their cars at …Keep reading

McLaren fears Norris a victim of new FIA precedent after Canada F1 penalty

Stella said the team was “very surprised” that Norris was penalised for unsportsmanlike behaviour after being deemed to have created a gap to his team-mate Oscar Piastri prior to a double-stacked pit stop.
Norris was running behind the Australian when a safety car triggered by George Russell’s accident gave drivers an opportunity to make cheap stops. McLaren duly decided to double stack …Keep reading
All Formula 1 Teams achieve FIA Three-Star Environmental Accreditation

All Formula 1 Teams achieve FIA Three-Star Environmental Accreditation

Sport news

The FIA Environmental Accreditation Programme was launched in 2011 to help the motor sport industry to assess and enhance their environmental performance. It measures performance across a range of 17 criteria ranging from energy use and supply chain management; to transport planning, noise management and carbon emissions. To maintain impartiality in the auditing process for the Accreditation, the audits are carried out by an independent qualified auditor. 

The FIA Formula One World Championship was first awarded the accreditation in 2020 and since then many of the key stakeholders within the sport, including the Teams, Race Promoters and host circuits, have also embarked on their own journeys to achieve FIA Three-Star Environmental Accreditation. 

Alongside the ten F1 Teams, Pirelli, a Global Partner of Formula 1 and key supplier of the World Championship, also holds the Three-Star Environmental Accreditation. 

Several Race Promoters and host circuits have achieved the highest level of accreditation, including events in Italy, Spain, Belgium, Austria, and the UAE, with the UK, Japan, and Singapore also all currently possessing the Accreditation at some level. This is in addition to others possessing ISO14001 or ISO20121 – key certifications that, respectively, help an organization set up an effective environmental management system, and offer guidance and best practice to help you manage your event and control its social, economic, and environmental impact. 

Felipe Calderón, President of the FIA Environment and Sustainability Commission said: 

“At the pinnacle of motor sport, it is vital that the FIA Formula One World Championship sets the highest standards for environmental sustainability, and this renewal of FIA Three-Star Environmental Accreditation recognises that the championship continues to prioritise and achieve best practice in reaching its goals. Within the F1 ecosystem, all ten teams now also hold this highest level of accreditation, together with a growing number of official suppliers, race promoters and circuits – this clearly shows that we are moving in the right direction, but we can and must all do more. This announcement is a great endorsement of the FIA Environmental Accreditation Programme that provides a framework for the motor sport community at every level to tackle the environmental issues that face us all, and I congratulate Formula 1 for its ongoing work and achievements on its path to become a net zero carbon organisation by 2030.”

Stefano Domenicali, President & CEO, at Formula 1 said: 

“To have our whole Championship, as well as many of our partners and promoters, achieve this milestone is a significant moment and one which demonstrates the ongoing commitment from the whole F1 community to change to reach our sustainability goals. There is of course a lot of work still to do, but we are committed to hitting our targets, continuing to innovate in a sustainable way, and setting a positive example to the motorsport community and beyond.” 

Ellen Jones, Head of ESG at Formula 1 said: 

“As we make strides to deliver on our Sustainability Strategy, environmental management systems play an important role. From embedding continuous improvement across our processes through to engagement plans with our stakeholders, management systems help ensure that we are all delivering a more sustainable event and championship.”
