Formula 1 CEO Stefano Domenicali has suggested that Italy may soon be limited to hosting just one Grand Prix in a year. This comes as the motorsport continues to expand into new territories, limited only by the length of its season. Speaking to RAI radio, Domenicali was clear that there likely isn't space for both the historic Italian Grand Prix at Monza and the Emilia-Romagna Grand Prix at Imola. "Italy has always been and will be an important part of Formula 1," he said.

ルクレール、新パッケージで臨んだレースで表彰台逃し「決勝では、グリップとダウンフォース不足が雪だるま式に効いてくる」

1 week ago | jp.motorsport.com | Alex Harrington

F1バーレーンGPを4位でフィニッシュしたシャルル・ルクレール（フェラーリ）は、グリップとダウンフォース不足が”雪だるま式”に積み重なった結果だと語った。ジョージ・ラッセル（メルセデス）の1グリッド降格ペナルティの恩恵を受け、フロントロウ2番手からレースに臨んだルクレールだが、スタートでラッセルに抜かれると、終盤にランド・ノリス（マクラーレン）にもオーバーテイクを許し4位でチェッカーを受けた。バーレーンGPに、フェラーリはフロアの一新を含めたアップグレードパッケージを投入。その結果、マシンはダウンフォースレベルが向上。予選でその効果は顕著であり、ドライバーふたりも好印象を抱いている様子だった。しかしレース後、ルクレールは「全体的なダウンフォースとグリップがもっと必要だと思う」と説明した。「今のところ、僕たちはクルマから最大限の力を引き出せていると思う。コーナーで速く走るためには、もっとグリップが必要なんだ」...
トランスポンダーや計時システムにトラブル発生！混乱に混乱が生じたバーレーンGP……一体何が起きていたのか？

1 week ago | jp.motorsport.com | Alex Harrington

2025年のF1第4戦バーレーンGPはチーム戦略が多様化し、さらに国際中継やライブタイミングアプリに表示される計時システムにも問題が発生したことで、混沌としたレースになった。このトラブルはメルセデスのジョージ・ラッセルにも波及し、彼のDRSは狂い、タイミングボード上でもラッセルのポジションが乱高下した。レースを配信やテレビで視聴していたファンは、何度か驚いたことだろう。昨年のラスベガスGP以来となる勝利を目指して首位オスカー・ピアストリ（マクラーレン）を追っていたラッセルの順位が、突如最下位まで転落。多くの視聴者は、ラッセルがコースオフしたのではないかと考えたシーンがあったのではなかろうか？ただ実際にはラッセルはコースオフしたわけではなく、トランスポンダーに不具合があり、タイミングシステムが全体的に不安定になったのだった。今年はタイミングシステムにトラブルが多く発生している。今季はここまで、中国GPのF1スプリントも含めて5レースが行なわれたが、タイミングシステムに問題が発生したのはこれで4レース目ということになった。トランスポンダーとは？ Lando Norris,...
így fulladt káoszba egy hibás jeladó miatt a Bahreini Nagydíj

1 week ago | hu.motorsport.com | Alex Harrington

A 2025-ös Bahreini Nagydíj egy kaotikus futam volt, nem csak a csapatok vegyes stratégiái miatt, ami a lassabb Japán Nagydíj után üdítően hatott, de a vasárnapi versenyt közvetítési problémák is sújtották. Ez George Russellre is kihatott, mivel a DRS-e véletlenül kinyílt és a tabellán folyamatosan a második és az utolsó hely között ugrált. A pokoli időmérő toronytA közvetítést figyelő nézők a futam utolsó szakaszában számos hibával szembesültek.
