In recent seasons, Red Bull has selected contra-tyre strategy approaches in the middle phase of qualifying to try and gain an upper hand in race strategy versus Mercedes during the Black Arrows' years of dominance. This approach helped Red Bull beat Mercedes in 2020's 70th Anniversary Grand Prix – where Max Verstappen used tyres that were a step harder compared to the Mercedes cars to gain an early advantage. Last time out in Bahrain, where Red Bull confirmed its testing promise as having the fastest car so far in 2021, both teams attempted to get through to Q3 on the medium tyres to avoid running the delicate softs at the start of the race. Verstappen, Lewis Hamilton and Valtteri Bottas (as well as AlphaTauri driver Pierre Gasly) got through on the better race rubber, but Perez was eliminated in Q2 – eventually finishing fifth in the race after starting from the pitlane as a result of his car briefly switching off on the formation lap. When asked if such tactics were a … [Read more...] about Perez: Red Bull must keep taking F1 qualifying strategy risks

Randle, who spent the past year battling testicular cancer , has long been expected to make a number of wildcard starts this season as part of a multi-year deal he inked with the Ford squad last season. It's now been confirmed that he'll take part in three sprint rounds in a Tickford Mustang carrying backing from Castrol. Randle will make his first start for the season at The Bend next month, which will mark his second appearance at the South Australian circuit following his debut wildcard back in 2019. He'll return for the Darwin Triple Crown in June and round out the wildcard programme with the Perth SuperNight in September. Randle will then team up with one of the full-time Tickford drivers for the Bathurst 1000. “I am just absolutely thrilled to have the opportunity to drive the Castrol Racing Ford Mustang for Tickford Racing at three events this season,” Randle said. “Tickford and Castrol have been huge supporters of my career thus far, and are … [Read more...] about Tickford locks in three-round Supercars wildcard

The second one-hour session of Friday day at Imola featured a number of unusual developments, as the Mercedes drivers did not find major gains using the soft tyres on their mid-session qualifying simulation runs, while Ferrari's Charles Leclerc actually set FP2's best time, but had it deleted for a track limits offence. Leclerc then brought the session to an early end when he crashed at the second Rivazza corner in final minutes. Much like in the day's opening session, the first 15 minutes of the session were very busy, with several drivers enjoying time at the top of the standings. George Russell led the pack out and duly set the opening lap of FP2 at 1m22.939s, which was soon bettered by Kimi Raikkonen's 1m20.118s. Carlos Sainz and Leclerc brought the P1 benchmark into the 1m17s bracket, with the latter's 1m17.076s taking him to the top of the times as he followed his teammate around the 3-mile track. Both Ferrari drivers were running the medium tyres – the same … [Read more...] about Emilia Romagna GP: Bottas tops FP2 as Verstappen hits trouble

The move would come as part of wider push to simplify the cars and cut costs, with the entire front suspension package to fall under the list of control components under the Gen3 rules. A Supercars spokesperson told Motorsport.com that no firm decision has been made on anti-roll bar levers, however a number of teams have indicated they expect the adjustors to be dropped. The anti-roll bars will still be adjustable externally as part of the car set-up. In the current-spec cars, drivers are able to change both the front and rear anti-roll bars on the fly through hydraulic levers. That helps them trim the car to better adapt to changing fuel loads, tyre wear and/or track conditions throughout a race. Shane van Gisbergen is famous for his busy lever work even over the course of a single lap, the Kiwi often seen making multiple bar and brake bias adjustments in on-board footage. Cockpit controls are a controversial talking point right now as Supercars assesses … [Read more...] about Supercars set to drop in-car roll bar adjustment
