Two ex-F1 drivers and winners Roberto Moreno and Jan Magnussen return for the first time since their respective triumphs in 1980 and 1992, while

Penalties have once again become a talking point this year, with title contenders Lewis Hamilton and Max Verstappen both having taken fourth power units and the associated move down the grid.

Quartararo secured his first MotoGP title at the Emilia Romagna Grand Prix at Misano, after championship rival Francesco Bagnaia’s crash from the lead made it mathematically impossible for the Ducati rider to stay in the battle. As a result, Quartararo became the first French top-class grand prix motorcycle champion, completing the feat in only his
Both drivers retired from Austin’s race after issues with the rear of their respective cars, but even before that point it soon became a race to forget. Ocon sustained front wing damage on lap 1 after contact with Alfa Romeo’s Antonio Giovinazzi and lacked the pace to recover much ground, while Alonso was stuck battling
Bottas took his sixth new Mercedes internal combustion engine at the US GP, which landed him a five-place penalty, dropping him from fourth to ninth on the grid. In the race he was only able to recover to sixth place. It was his third penalty of the year after going to the back of the

No fewer than 12 countries made it onto the planned five-round schedule for Extreme E’s second season that was released last month, a plot that Autosport understands is intended to drive competition and increase host fees to attract the highest bidders. However, despite the Outer Hebrides appearing on the championship’s shortlist to replace the cancelled

The Pembrey circuit in Wales isn’t an obvious destination for a potentially career-making Formula 1 test. But for future sportscar ace Nicolas Minassian, the opportunity to drive the Dallara-Honda test hack at the remote Carmarthenshire track in 1999 carried the very real possibility of a foot in the door at the BAR-Honda team for 2000.
As Jenson Button walks into the Haywood Racing awning, the noise is deafening. For three years the team has been trying to win the Festival with the Mygale. This time around it came good. Even ignoring the fact that the French car is clearly an excellent machine, its driver was always going to play a
Bastianini claimed his maiden MotoGP podium five weeks ago when MotoGP last visited Misano for the San Marino GP having come from 12th on the grid.

Valentino Rossi will bring his VR46 team into MotoGP full-time from 2022 and will field Ducati machinery for Luca Marini and Marco Bezzecchi. But the outfit’s genesis in the premier class has been plagued by controversy surrounding its title sponsorship, which was originally announced back in April as being Saudi Arabian oil giant Aramco –
The nine-time MotoGP race winner scored his best result since joining Aprilia in last weekend’s Misano race, with Vinales coming from 19th to narrowly be beaten by team-mate Aleix Espargaro eighth. But Vinales insists he could have cracked the top three for the first time on the RS-GP but for losing “a minimum 10 to
On the first lap of the Austin race Sainz left the track at the Turn 12 left-hander trying to defend his fifth place against both McLarens. Exceeding track limits allowed him to keep his position to Norris, although Daniel Ricciardo managed to pass both cars before the end of the lap. Despite losing a net position Sainz was still
