Mercedes: Canada a “bigger challenge” than Barcelona for upgraded F1 car
At last week's Spanish Grand Prix, Lewis Hamilton and George Russell scored a double podium after the Brackley team's comprehensive upgrade package delivered a solid step forward. While Hamilton still finished 24 seconds behind dominant winner Max Verstappen , Mercedes' W14 was the second-strongest car on the high-downforce circuit, providing the team with a solid baseline to continue its recovery. The double podium also elevated Mercedes above Aston Martin to second place in the constructors' standings. But Shovlin, the team's trackside engineering director, expects the Canadian Grand Prix to be a more difficult weekend for the Silver Arrows due to the low-downforce nature of Montreal's Circuit Gilles Villeneuve, which is the polar opposite of the Barcelona circuit that its revamped 2023 car was competitive at. "The fact is that the update kit works very well around circuits like Barcelona with a lot of high-speed performance," Shovlin said in Mercedes' post-race … [Read more...] about Mercedes: Canada a “bigger challenge” than Barcelona for upgraded F1 car
2024 Chevy Camaro ZL1 Garage 56 Edition Brings Le Mans Racer To The Road
The Chevrolet Camaro will cease production after the 2024 model year. However, it’s going out with a bang. Earlier this week, Chevrolet announced the Collector’s Edition, and it has now unveiled the 2024 Camaro ZL1 Garage 56 Edition to celebrate the NASCAR Cup Camaro ZL1 racing in this year’s 24 Hours of Le Mans. The Camaro receives a handful of visual upgrades replicating the race car’s look, although we doubt the two will sound the same . The car wears a new-for-2024 Riptide Blue exterior that is available across the model line, which Chevy spruces up with a graphics package that mimics the race car’s livery. Gallery: 2024 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 Garage 56 Edition 2 Photos A white stripe extends from the hood to the decklid outlined in gold, similar to the race car, but narrower. A monochrome stars and stripes motif extends from the hood cowl to the roof.

Mercedes reveal true cause behind Hamilton-Russell Barcelona contact
Mercedes trackside engineering director Andrew Shovlin has explained the “miscommunication” that caused George Russell and Lewis Hamilton to make contact in qualifying in Barcelona at the weekend. Now the dust has settled on the weekend, the team have analysed what happened between their two drivers when Russell appeared to move across on Hamilton on the pit straight as they both started flying laps. The Mercedes duo made contact, with Hamilton stating Russell’s move across track was “really dangerous” – and Russell and Mercedes were duly given a formal warning by the FIA after the 25-year-old claimed he was not told Hamilton was approaching behind. With both drivers starting a flying lap at the same time and Hamilton closing up on Russell at a rate of knots, Shovlin revealed that both Mercedes drivers had used the same person, Carlos Sainz, as a reference point to try and gain a tow in order to start their fast lap in Q2. This led to the confusion that caused them both to be … [Read more...] about Mercedes reveal true cause behind Hamilton-Russell Barcelona contact

Nico Hulkenberg pinpoints what he would rather have ‘other way around’ at Haas
One-lap pace is great, but Nico Hulkenberg would happily trade that in for a Haas challenger which shines in race trim. The German racer emerged as one of the surprise candidates excelling over a single lap at the Spanish Grand Prix, taking the Haas VF-23 into Q3. He would finish that session P8, though gaining a spot on the grid due to Pierre Gasly’s pair of impeding penalties, Hulkenberg went into race day seemingly well placed to end a run of three races in a row without points. Such hopes failed to materialise though in dramatic fashion, Hulkenberg forced into a three-stop strategy at the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya and ultimately finishing P15, while Kevin Magnussen in the other Haas crossed the line P18. It was a race where team boss Guenther Steiner claimed Haas simply could not “keep the tyres alive” on this challenging circuit for tyre degradation, and Hulkenberg would happily give up the one-lap performance to fix these race day struggles. “I’d rather have it … [Read more...] about Nico Hulkenberg pinpoints what he would rather have ‘other way around’ at Haas
