3 days ago | motorsportmagazine.com | James Elson

The last time Phil Hanson won Le Mans in 2020, there was almost no one there to see it. After coasting in on the sidepod of his United Autosports LMP2 car while wearing a face mask, the Brit raised the trophy in front of a largely empty circuit – his greatest moment had come at a closed-doors Covid-time race.
MPH: The one element giving Piastri the edge over Norris

1 week ago | motorsportmagazine.com | Mark Hughes

Ten races down, 14 to go and Lando Norris lags 22 points behind team-mate Oscar Piastri at the top of the championship table. Piastri has won five times, Norris twice (with two for Max Verstappen and one for George Russell). Off the back of Norris’ disastrous race-ending collision with the back of Piastri’s car in Canada, it may feel inevitable that Piastri is going to prevail.

As Lando Norris, in trying to pass Oscar Piastri, hit the other McLaren‘s rear wheel and bounced hard into the pitwall, the parallels with the 2011 incident here between McLaren team-mates Jenson Button and Lewis Hamilton were irresistible. “Yes, I know,” sighed team boss Andrea Stella some hours after Sunday’s Montreal race.
Matt Bishop: F1's self-destruction at Indianapolis - inside the 2005 US GP

Motor racing is dangerous – so, when we use words such as ‘catastrophe’ or ‘disaster’ to describe controversies in our sport, even egregious ones, we should always caveat such descriptions by making clear that more disastrous and more catastrophic by an order of magnitude are racing incidents that involve the loss of life. Many drivers have died on racetracks over the years, and every one of those deaths was a tragedy, but worse still were the accidents in which spectators also lost their lives.
Will Norris ever learn how to race? Up/Down in Canada

“Something… something.. going for a gap… racing driver,” goes the famous quotation: or something like that. Cue a grumpy Ayrton Senna looking defiant against Jackie Stewart’s slightly lecturing, furrowed brow. The quotes, clips and memes of the above champions’ famous exchange have been flying round as thousands on the internet have made a side-splitting connection between it and Lando Norris going for a opening in Canada which apparently never existed in the first place.
Mr Saturday: How scorching pole secured Russell's Montreal win

Or at least they were until Norris stole even Russell’s headlines with a disastrous passing attempt on Piastri late in the race. A three-wheeled Norris rolled to a halt against the end of the pitwall. He took full responsibility but no points. Fortunately for Piastri, the big hit taken by his left-rear wheel from the other McLaren had incurred no discernible damage.

AF Corse painted the town yellow at the Le Mans 24 Hours last weekend as the so-called ‘customer’ No83 Ferrari proved conclusively the most potent of the three 499Ps, beating the two red works cars to make it a magical three from three for the Prancing Horse in this Hypercar era. From the early stages, Ferrari’s 12th Le Mans win never seemed in serious doubt as for long periods the three cars locked out the podium places.
Russell strengthens hand in Mercedes F1 contract talks - What you missed at the Canadian GP

1 week ago | motorsportmagazine.com | Chris Medland

Away from the fireworks on the front row, there was a fair bit to talk about when it came to driver futures over the Montreal weekend, while the F1 movie focus grew even further before a number of drivers made the trip to New York for the premiere. George Russell has been impressive at Mercedes, but admitted himself that he understands why Max Verstappen is always going to be on the team’s radar as a potential future driver given his status as “one of the GOATs”.

The fastest Ferrari, that of 2024 race winners Antonio Fuoco, Miguel Molina and (an under the weather) Nicklas Nielsen, is only seventh on the grid; Calado, Fabrizio Giovinazzi and Alessandro Pier Guidi, winners two years ago, are down in 11th; and the third 499P of the officially ‘customer’ AF Corse entry of Yifei Ye, Robert Kubica and Phil Hanson is only 13th.
