Ppp second round

In their first season as team mates last year, newcomer Carlos Sainz Jnr surprisingly out-scored incumbent Charles Leclerc. The latter flipped the result this season. Was this a case of ‘normal service resumed’? Advert | Become a Supporter & go ad-free Not quite. Indeed, 2022 was arguably a more promising campaign for Sainz on the whole, even taking his early setbacks into account. He was never able to make up the deficit which grew as he acclimatised to the F1-75, but ended the season looking much more of a match for his team mate. While Leclerc and the F1-75 clicked immediately, Sainz couldn’t get comfortable at the limit in the car. They finished one-two at the season opener, but Leclerc was far ahead of his team mate when the Safety Car came out. A spate of errors compromised four consecutive difficult races for Sainz. He spun out lap two in Melbourne, crashed out even earlier at Imola along with Daniel Ricciardo, hit the wall again during practice in Miami … [Read more...] about Leclerc asserts his supremacy but Sainz’s improving form should concern him · RaceFans

Haas principal Guenther Steiner believes that rather than adding more grands prix, Formula 1 should make sprint races more frequent. 2021 was the first time that Formula 1 introduced sprint races into the race weekend format, adding a 100km race on a Saturday at three rounds of the season, forming the grid for Sunday’s main grand prix. Traditional qualifying came forward to Friday to determine the sprint grid. Two sprints have been staged so far in 2022, the third and final scheduled for the Sao Paulo GP, but from 2023 this number will increase to six, while the calendar expands to a record 24 grands prix . Steiner referenced that Formula 1’s CEO Stefano Domenicali has declared 24 as the maximum Formula 1 is willing to expand to, but the Haas boss explained why this does not mean that the race count cannot still rise. That is because Steiner does not see why the sprint race expansion needs to stop at six. “I think Stefano said it, the limit is 24,” Steiner stated, as per … [Read more...] about Guenther Steiner calls for more sprint races, rather than grands prix

SHARM EL-SHEIKH, Egypt (AP) — Italian official Luciano Rossi has beaten incumbent president and Russian billionaire Vladimir Lisin to become the new head of the governing body for Olympic shooting. Rossi beat Lisin to become president of the International Shooting Sport Federation on Wednesday in an unusually close and combative election for an Olympic federation. In a statement announcing the result on Thursday, the ISSF did not provide a breakdown of the voting, but the German shooting federation said it was 136 to Rossi and 127 to Lisin. “We are excited to see what the future holds for the ISSF under (Rossi's) leadership,” the ISSF executive board said in a statement. “He looks forward to working with all of you to promote the sport of shooting and make it more accessible to people around the world.” It was the second time Rossi stood against Lisin after losing by four votes for the then-vacant presidency in 2018. Lisin resisted calls from some ISSF members to step … [Read more...] about Rossi ousts billionaire Lisin to head Olympic shooting body

Listen to this article The regulations for F1's new era of fully sustainable fuel-powered cars were published earlier this year, and potential entrants were originally given a 15 October deadline to sign up. While new entrant Audi was the first to do so, many of the current manufacturers stalled on the plan and that prompted an agreement to delay the deadline – originally until 15 November, but this was subsequently rolled back further. The matter cannot drag on much longer because F1's 2026 engine manufacturers need to comply with a new power unit cost cap that comes into force on 1 January 2023. The hold-up in getting everyone on board has prompted concern that F1 could see some of its current entrants elect not to continue, but Ben Sulayem thinks there is nothing major to worry about. He says the recent delays were purely prompted by teams needing to seek legal clarification over specific wordings before they could commit, while bigger issues involving rules had been … [Read more...] about FIA downplays delays in 2026 F1 engine manufacturer sign-ups

Listen to this article The event was killed off by the previous South Australian government in late 2020, only to be brought back to life this year thanks to an election promise from new premier Peter Malinauskas . The revival has included resurfacing most of the roads used for the track prompting predictions of new lap records across the weekend. The Adelaide 500 will take place across 500 kilometres split into two 250-kilometre heats. The running is split across four days, with a total of three practice sessions and a qualifying session and Top 10 Shootout for each of the two races. While Shane van Gisbergen wrapped up the 2022 Supercars title on the Gold Coast last month, there is still plenty to play for this weekend. Significantly it is the final time there will be Holdens on the Supercars grid with the axed GM brand to be effectively replaced by Chevrolet and the Camaro next year. It is also the final hit-out for the Gen2-spec Car of the Future Supercars … [Read more...] about 2022 Supercars Adelaide 500 – Start time, how to watch, channel & more

Fernando Alonso punching the air in anger after his Mexican Grand Prix retirement was a sight to behold for Mike Krack, the Spaniard’s 2023 team boss enthused by his passion. Alonso was enraged as he recorded his third retirement in five races at the Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez, his Alpine A522 losing a cylinder while he was running up in seventh place. Initially slowing down, he wasn’t able to continue, and with a puff of smoke coming from the back of his Alpine as he headed down to Turn 1, he came to a halt in the run-off area. The double World Champion climbed from his car before punching the air and then laying his head down on his arms. “ Once more, Car 14 stops before the chequered flag, ” he lamented. “I felt fast but once again, as I said, Car 14 stops.” That display of passion was a joy for Aston Martin team boss Krack to see play out as he sees it as a sign of the driver’s “dedication and motivation”. “I always hold up this picture of the Mexican Grand Prix … [Read more...] about How Fernando Alonso’s Mexican Grand Prix left a lasting impression on Aston Martin

Arriving at the opening pre-season outing in Spain in a “shambles”, Laurent Rossi is “quite pleased” in the manner in which Alpine recovered from the predicted P8 to finish fourth in the championship. Alpine’s first outing with the all-new A522 didn’t go according to the plan, with the team completing the third fewest number of laps as they set about testing aero parts while also losing track time when Fernando Alonso pulled over on day three with smoke billowing from the rear of his car. The second outing in Bahrain was an improvement, but once again the mileage wasn’t what they had wanted. It had pundits predicting Alpine wouldn’t factor in the top-half of the field, only for the team to kick off their campaign with a double points-haul in Bahrain. It turned out to be a season in which the Enstone team only missed out in three grands prix as they raced their way to fourth place in the Constructors’ Championship . “We started the season in bad shape – I mean, we arrived … [Read more...] about Laurent Rossi applauds Alpine recovery after arriving for testing in a ‘shambles’
