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.

This particular chassis was built by GM homologation team Triple Eight Race Engineering, and will underpin the prototype Supercars-spec Chevrolet Camaro. The most significant change compared to the current chassis is removable front and rear sections, which will allow faster repairs on race weekends. There are also safety upgrades including a more central driving position to move the driver further from the right-hand door and a hatch in the roof to allow better access for medical crews. The chassis is also visibly lower than its predecessor as the category moves away from its sedan roots and properly embraces two-door muscle cars like the Camaro and the Ford Mustang. “We’re excited to present this latest milestone in the Gen3 programme,” said Supercars CEO Sean Seamer. "I'd like to thank the team that have put in thousands of hours to reach this point, particularly Triple Eight Race Engineering. “We’re proud of the developments with regards to safety and … [Read more...] about Supercars Gen3 chassis breaks cover

It will debut on April 28. We got our first unofficial glimpse at the Volkswagen ID.4 GTX approximately a year ago when a prototype was spied testing on public roads. It has been one of the industry’s worst kept secrets that the Wolfsburg-based automaker is preparing a sportier version of the electric crossover. Now, it’s officially official and it turns out GTX will be more than just a single model. Volkswagen says the ID.4 GTX will make its debut on April 28 and will be the first of several performance ID models to come.
