The General Motors brand’s sportscar racing programme manager, Laura Klauser, has revealed a plan to run “as many cars as we can” at the double-points round of the World Endurance Championship in 2023 without giving a firm number.

But what is crystal clear is that while the labelling of Red Bull’s overspend has been officially classified as a “minor” breach, its opposition sees it as anything but a small matter. To be classified as a “minor” offence rather than a “material” one, teams must have overspent by less than 5% of the allowance.

Over the Singapore race weekend, it emerged W Series may not be able to complete its planned campaign after a contracted deal with an American investor collapsed.

Verstappen clinched the 2022 F1 drivers’ championship with victory in Sunday’s Japanese Grand Prix, gaining the required points advantage after Charles Leclerc’s five-second time penalty dropped the Ferrari driver to third.

After a series of delays, teams will discover on Monday whether or not they have been granted a certificate of compliance that confirms that they performed within the cap in 2021.

Having moved into fifth place last week, the BMW Compact pilot is now up to fourth and is just one win behind table-topper Lucky Khera following another two class successes at Snetterton.

Ferrucci, who made his initial forays into the IndyCar Series in 2018 with Dale Coyne Racing and spent his first two full seasons there, has been a part-timer for the last two seasons.

Gasly was one of the first drivers to abandon intermediates on the drying track, but the decision dropped him several places as those who stayed out continued to lap quickly.

At last weekend’s Singapore Grand Prix we were delighted to see Alex Albon return after an emergency appendectomy and serious complications, ultimately requiring him to be put on a ventilator.

There are a few sports that don’t require a dime to play. Running, swimming and wrestling spring to mind. Motorsport – and Formula 1 in particular – has always been the antithesis of those. By its very nature, large sums of money are required even to bring a single grand prix to life. Most of

The DTM returned to Portugal for the first time since 2004 this year, with the Algarve International Circuit in Portimao opening the season on April 30-May 1.
