Wanting more from Aston Martin after falling behind Mercedes in Spain, Aston Martin team boss Mike Krack has confirmed that “something is coming” for the Canadian Grand Prix. Off the podium at his home race in Barcelona, Alonso wasn’t dejected by the result but instead determinedly said that “it will not happen again” and that Spain was Aston Martin’s “last race without podiums”. But with Mercedes having taken a notable step forward with the introduction of their B-spec W14, Alonso is facing tight competition for that final spot on the podium.

I mean, there wasn’t really a lot of tension, particularly in ’88,” Oatley, Prost’s race engineer at McLaren that year, told the Beyond the Grid podcast about the first few months of Senna and Prost’s … [Read more...] about Alain Prost’s engineer reveals when Ayrton Senna tension began within McLaren garage

Home Two wheelers oi-Vedant Jouhari By Vedant Jouhari Updated: Thursday, June 8, 2023, 22:17 [IST] Round one of the Petronas TVS One Make Championship was held at Kari Motor Speedway in Coimbatore. It took place from June 2nd to June 4th - and the category I competed in, the Media Category, was only held from the 3rd of June to the 4th (Saturday and Sunday).
