McLaren boss Andrea Stella has said the team may need to hold some “tough conversations” after its intra-squad collision at Formula 1’s Canadian Grand Prix – but vowed Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri will remain free to race.McLaren’s first proper intra-team contact in the closing stages of Sunday’s Montreal race seemed to leave little room for interpretation. After a hair-raising …Keep reading

It was bound to eventually happen and it did. Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri came to blows during the Canadian Grand Prix as the McLaren pair contend for the 2025 Formula 1 title. Only this time, the fallout came without the drama of previous team-mate clashes – think, Lewis Hamilton and Nico Rosberg in Barcelona; Ayrton Senna and Alain Prost in, well, lots of places really. Norris knew …Keep reading

For a championship that’s measured in nanoseconds, five hours and thirty minutes is an eternity.Incredibly, in a world of high-definition video cameras integrated into car parts, real-time sensors, GPS trackers, AI technology, and the sophisticated FIA Remote Operations Centre (ROC) in Geneva, it still took that long after the chequered flag to confirm that George Russell had won the Formula …Keep reading

Winner: FerrariA fourth win in as many races in the 2025 World Endurance Championship, a third straight victory at Le Mans. What more can Ferrari ask for? A 1-2-3, one might pedantically answer – which was a real possibility, such was the dominance of the 499Ps in terms of race pace, but Porsche denied Ferrari a lock-out by snatching second place.Admittedly, Ferrari can be thankful for …Keep reading

What on earth was Lando Norris thinking? The way he collided with Oscar Piastri on lap 67 of the 2025 Canadian Grand Prix looked, frankly, amateurish. The McLaren driver saw a gap nobody else did – because it wasn’t there – and drove straight into the back of his own team-mate. My suspicion: after his overtaking attempt in the final corner narrowly failed, he was desperate to capitalise on …Keep reading

There’s no doubt that three-time Supercars champion Shane van Gisbergen is one of the best road racers in NASCAR, again proving it in the inaugural Cup race at Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez in Mexico City.SVG ended up leading 60 of 100 laps, winning by 16.567 seconds in the biggest margin of victory seen in any Cup race since 2009.
