There has been intense speculation about Leclerc’s Ferrari future after his and the team’s title challenge in 2022 fell apart.
The Scuderia’s SF-23 package this year has been running well adrift of Red Bull’s class leading RB19.
During the early rounds of the season, Leclerc was linked with Mercedes as the German manufacturer is yet to sign Lewis Hamilton to a new deal alongside …Keep reading

Hill got a taste of motorsport’s potential future at Daytona’s Sandown circuit, when he became the first person to drive a kart powered by fully synthetic fuel, produced by former F1 technical chief Paddy Lowe’s company Zero.
The carbon neutral fuel, which Zero makes from air and water using renewable energy, can be dropped directly into any engine. Once available at …Keep reading

Ocon has already made contact with the Hollywood star and is planning to visit him on the set of the next Deadpool 3 film in London.
Reynolds and his colleagues Rob McElhenney and Michael B. Jordan are part of a consortium of three US-based entities that have combined to acquire a 24% stake of the Alpine team.
“I think it’s fantastic,” said Ocon when asked by Autosport about the …Keep reading

The tweaks were trialled at a filming day Ferrari conducted at Fiorano earlier in the week where its F1 challenger ran alongside its Le Mans-winning Hypercar.
This was a shrewd move by the Scuderia, given that teams have less time to evaluate parts during free practice at the Red Bull Ring because it is a sprint event.
The changes that Ferrari have made are pretty extensive but mainly focus …Keep reading

Strategy is a major talking point of an F1 grand prix weekend, with teams formulating initial plans well in advance of arriving at the track.
Strategy is ultimately dictated by tyre life, with each driver limited to 13 sets of dry rubber to last the three days. This number is made up of eight sets of the designated soft compound, three of the medium, and two of the hard.
Many factors are …Keep reading

As the rules were originally written, drivers were obliged to use new medium tyres in Saturday’s SQ1 and SQ2 sessions, and then new softs on SQ3.
Teams realised that they didn’t have to save a set of new softs for SQ3 if they felt that those tyres would be more useful earlier in the weekend, either in FP1 or Friday’s qualifying session for the grand prix.
In Baku, Yuki Tsunoda and …Keep reading

De Vries has faced a rough first third of his rookie season, struggling to get on Tsunoda’s pace as a lack of consistency has held him back across the first eight races.
He is one of two drivers yet to register points, alongside fellow rookie Logan Sargeant, although that is also partly due to an underperforming AT04.
Pressure on De Vries has already started mounting, with Red Bull advisor …Keep reading

The Japanese manufacturer recently announced an official return to F1 with Aston Martin for 2026, with it having originally intended to quit the series entirely so it could focus on electric road car development.
The U-turn marks another step in the stop-start nature of Honda in F1, with it having had four official eras so far – 1964-68, 1983-92, 2000-08 and 2015-21.
Since 2022, it has …Keep reading

The idea was logical that if there was less disturbed air thrown up by cars then this should allow some closer racing. 
The subsequent simplification of car’s upper surfaces, with more reliance on the underfloor to generate downforce, certainly seemed to achieve some of these goals initially.  
But, as the teams now have a more sound understanding of the fundamentals, they are …Keep reading
