The lines between digital and physical realities are getting more blurred every day. From currencies to art pieces and now hypercars. The McLaren concept that debuted in the Gran Turismo Sport video game has been transformed into a limited edition, single-seater track toy as the Solus GT. The Woking-based manufacturer has used its combined experience […]
McLaren kicked off the 2022 motorsport build-up with a bang, unveiling all of its contenders, across different formats. While F1 is the headliner, it had good opening pair with Extreme E and IndyCar. The one we’re focused on is the 2022 F1 car, of course, the MCL36. The MCL36 has a predominantly orange livery as […]
When Formula 1 announced it was going to Saudi Arabia to race on a street circuit, I felt let down. It’s just something that doesn’t deliver on racing and depends on incidents to be interesting and that’s kind of what happened in the end. There was even more drama for the debut Saudi Arabian Grand […]
Mercedes F1 is unbeaten in Russian GPs at the Sochi street circuit and that streak was likely to continue with title-contender Max Verstappen carrying a three-spot grid penalty. However, the forecast of rain over the weekend gave fans some hope for alternative outcomes. After heavy rain and flooding earlier in the week, the weather took […]
Formula 1 returned to Italy to race at Monza, the Temple of Speed, this past weekend with a hotly contested world title in the balance. Even though it is a high-speed circuit much like Zandvoort from the round before, Monza has not favoured the Red Bulls for the entirety of the turbo-hybrid era of F1. […]
The Hungaroring Circuit that hosts the Hungarian F1 Grand Prix has been part of the calendar since 1986. It’s a relatively short circuit with a mix of fast and slow corners with two short straights thrown in. Despite its long and interesting history, two drivers have dominated here in the last 10 years with 8 […]
The Silverstone Circuit is often referred to as the ‘Home of Formula 1’ which is also why it hosted the sport’s 70th anniversary celebration as part of the double-header in the 2020 season. It’s also been a track that has been dominated by Lewis Hamilton, and there’s even a straight named after the 7-time world […]
The most interesting part for back-to-back races at the same circuit with no changes to the layout is that the second one is more competitive as teams incorporate lessons learned from the previous weekend. With that preconception in mind, we expected Mercedes-Benz to be closer to Max Verstappen who had smoked them in the Styrian […]
Red Bull Ring is hosting a doubleheader yet again and the races have been given two different names: Styrian GP for the first one and Austrian GP for the second. This is Red Bull’s home race and the team has a good ‘track’ record around here with at least one car on the podium every […]
The Paul Ricard Circuit is not a fan-favourite in F1 with its red and blue stripes in place of grass or gravel for the run-off areas. It has fast sweeping corners and one particular overtaking zone that ends in a relatively tight chicane. Like the Spanish GP at Barcelona, the French GP at Paul Ricard […]
