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. A repeat looked unlikely after he suffered three crashes on Saturday and qualified down in 16th. However, the 2020 Moto2 world champion once again climbed up the order and
Intrigue has surrounded the way that Mercedes has tuned its rear suspension system so that the back end of the car drops down at high speed on the straights.

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

The KTM rider endured a wretched weekend at Misano having failed to crack the top 16 across practice and going on to qualify a disappointing 19th while team-mate Miguel Oliveira was fifth.

While the world champion team was forced to see title rival Max Verstappen triumph on a day when Lewis Hamilton’s tyre strategy did not pay off, it thinks there are still grounds to be encouraged by what it saw.

Verstappen and title rival Lewis Hamilton locked out the front row of the grid to set up a Texas shootout at the Circuit of the Americas – but it turned into one of the most strategic and compelling races of the year. Hamilton had muscled his way past Verstappen on the uphill run to Turn
The Alpine driver was left frustrated at the United States Grand Prix when he felt Kimi Raikkonen got away with overtaking him off track. In their battle for a points scoring place, Raikkonen made a move around the outside of the Spaniard at Turn 1 and kept his foot in as he ran wide across
Espargaro’s KTM exit and signing to the factory Honda squad for 2021 was one of the biggest rider market shocks of the 2020 campaign, especially when KTM emerged as a race winner last season. Affected by limited testing this year due to the COVID pandemic, Espargaro has largely struggled to adapt to the RC213V –

Hamilton led the early stages at Austin on Sunday, but rival Red Bull seized the initiative when it went for the undercut with Verstappen on lap 11 – which helped him move to the front. Mercedes tried to counter Red Bull’s approach by extending Hamilton’s stints at long as possible to give him fresher rubber
Verstappen was under intense pressure from a chasing Lewis Hamilton in the final stages of the Austin race when they closed in to lap Schumacher’s Haas car.

Mir had to start from 18th after a bad qualifying in tricky conditions on Saturday and was slapped with a double long lap penalty for jumping the start.
