The six-time world champion struggled with a lack of rear grip with the hotter temperatures experienced this afternoon at the French Grand Prix in qualifying and could only manage 10th on the grid. Marquez says his feeling was strong in the cooler conditions on Saturday morning, but got worse over the rest of the day
Month: May 2022
The track was dry as qualifying began, but rain was falling to make conditions extra sketchy. Bourdais started the ball rolling with a 1m11.979s lap, but this was soon bettered by Albuquerque’s Wayne Taylor Racing Acura ARX-05. The Portuguese produced a 1m11.481s, then 1m10.751s and finally 1m10.661s. But Bourdais wouldn’t be denied, the Frenchman unleashing a
Record TV figures, a sell-out crowd and an influx of star power helped make it one of F1’s biggest events to date, further laying the foundations for the expansion to three American races next year once Las Vegas joins the calendar. But for Michael Andretti, more needs to be done to grow American interest in F1
10:25 PM ET Associated Press DINWIDDIE, Va. — Matt Hagan made the quickest Funny Car run in Virginia Motorsports Park history Saturday to top qualifying for the Virginia NHRA Nationals. Hagan had a 3.853-second pass at 331.45 mph in Tony Stewart Racing’s Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat for his second No. 1 of the season and
As predicted, it was a difficult start to the round-the-clock race with more than an hour of full pre-dawn running in foggy conditions. However race control has mostly let the race run despite the obvious visibility challenges, the safety car only used to retrieve a crashed MARC car from the top of the Mountain. That
The Andretti Autosport driver led 50 of the 75 laps completed before the race hit its two-hour maximum duration. He headed Simon Pagenaud, who scored his best result since switching from Team Penske to Meyer Shank Racing over the off-season, while polesitter Will Power (Penske) took the lead of the championship by finishing third. With a
The Italian set a new lap record on Saturday in France to claim his second-successive pole position and Ducati’s first at Le Mans. Bagnaia led Ducati team-mate Jack Miller by 0.069 seconds in the end, but was not confident of being able to fight for pole during the preceding 30-minute FP4 session because he
That’s because the placement of the chicane, and the tight sequence of corners around it, was effectively forced on organisers because of its geographical location under the Turnpike road bridges. As the project’s lead design engineer Andrew Wallis put it, the layout had to “thread the needle” to satisfy FIA track safety regulations. UK-based track
After the second practice session on the Indianapolis Motor Speedway’s 2.439-mile road course, 18 of the 27 cars finished within half a second of top spot, so small mistakes were expected to be costly in qualifying. Power took pole in the Fast Six shootout by a mere 0.042s ahead of reigning champion Alex Palou (Chip
The cooler autumn temperatures and ban on tyre warmers under the event’s temporary Pro-Am rules meant drivers were able to constantly improve on a single tyre set during the two 15-minute qualifying sessions. The organisers had originally planned to stage a top 10 shootout, before concerns over the operating window for the Pirelli tyres prompted a meeting
Mortara pounced upon a mistake from Vergne, who was baited into attacking the Venturi driver at Turn 6 with three laps remaining and went deep – recovering but shipping over a second to the leader. This gave Mortara free licence to extend his lead and rocket off into the distance, ensuring he claimed his second
Italian rider Bagnaia blitzed the Circuit Bugatti lap record in the pole shootout on Saturday, lapping the track in 1m30.450s to secure the fifth pole for a Ducati rider in seven qualifying sessions in 2022. Jack Miller backed up the performance of Bagnaia to grab second spot on the grid, setting a time that was
F1’s current owner Liberty Media has followed a route of chasing new additions to the calendar in large population areas, rather than permanent venues in the middle of nowhere. With Miami and Jeddah having recently hosted races on city tracks, a new grand prix is set to take place in Las Vegas next year. While
O’Ward pipped Chip Ganassi Racing’s reigning champion Palou to the top spot by just 0.029s to continue the fine form he showed by winning last time out at Barber Motorsports Park with a 1m09.783s lap. He was just 0.058s quicker than Colton Herta (Andretti Autosport) in third, with defending Indy GP winner Rinus VeeKay fourth
This expands the British team’s reach in electric motorsport, following its decision to join the Extreme E series for this year.

The Italian, twice a winner in the 2022 season on his year-old GP21 bike, lapped 0.202s faster than Aprilia’s Aleix Espargaro in a soft rubber time attack late in the second free practice session. Bastianini had already seen a lap quicker than Espargaro’s benchmark scrubbed, having set the time under yellow flags caused by a
In a largely unprecedented move for the Maranello squad, whose every step is followed closely by the tifosi, its hiring of Monza for a promotional event resulted in beefed up security to prevent onlookers getting in. Access to the track was strictly prohibited for fans, with barriers set up on access roads, and only one spy shot has emerged –

You’d be forgiven for thinking that British Touring Car Championship star Josh Cook would name Thruxton – scene of seven of his 13 race wins in the series – as his favourite circuit. But while the West Countryman indeed has a soft spot for the Hampshire speedbowl, his local BTCC venue, it’s a track he
The Mercedes driver took advantage of an IndyCar driver evaluation day at Sebring last December, with MSR slotting him into a car for a day-long test at Sebring. De Vries emerged fastest in the four-car test, ahead of Callum Ilott (Juncos Hollinger), his Formula E team-mate Stoffel Vandoorne (Arrow McLaren SP), and Jack Aitken (Ed
The 2014 IndyCar champion’s pole time of 1m09.766s on worn red tyres, just pipping his Chip Ganassi Racing rival on 1m09.809s, was the 64th of his US open-wheel career and leaves the Australian just three poles short of Mario Andretti’s record tally. Palou delivered on a day when his Ganassi team-mates all fell in Q1
Friday’s running at Le Mans was held in bright and warm conditions across both sessions, with Gresini’s Enea Bastianini beating the outright lap record in FP2 to end the day fastest.

As a Mercedes junior Russell was farmed out to Williams for three seasons, where he gained experience and showed the promise that convinced Wolff to promote him to a Mercedes race seat at the expense of long-time servant Valtteri Bottas.

The event, billed the BMW M Race of Legends, will commemorate the 50th running of the round-the-clock enduro on the Nurburgring Nordschleife that was first held in 1972 and the half century of BMW’s M division.

As was the case this morning, Suzuki’s Alex Rins set the early pace with a 1m32.192s at the start of FP2 as most of the field went out on the medium front and rear tyres. A few moments after Rins had gone top of the order, team-mate Joan Mir crashed on the way into Turn
The FIA Formula 2 driver, who finished runner-up in last year’s FIA Formula 3 championship, will test at the Losail International Circuit this weekend in a 2021-spec A521 chassis.

4:01 AM ET Four times Formula One world champion Sebastian Vettel said on Thursday that climate change had made him question his job as a driver travelling the world to race cars.

The 2020 running of the race was one of the last international events held in Australia before the pandemic took hold and the borders were closed.
