Mercedes have shed further light on the bizarre collision between its two drivers which occured during qualifying for the Spanish Grand Prix. Advert | Become a Supporter & go ad-free George Russell was given a formal warning by the stewards after making contact with his team mate Lewis Hamilton on the pit straight. The pair were overtaking Carlos Sainz Jnr’s Ferrari at the time. The team’s head of trackside engineering Andrew Shovlin said the incident occured because both drivers were trying to use Sainz’s car to get a slipstream to improve their lap times. “The drivers were trying to find a car finishing a lap in order to get a slingshot starting the lap themselves,” said Shovlin in a video released by the team . “So that will give them more straight-line speed. “You can find around a tenth, maybe a little bit more on the straight. That car that was finishing then peels in and they can then conduct the rest of the lap in clear air.” However the two … [Read more...] about Hamilton and Russell were seeking tow from Sainz when they collided – Mercedes · RaceFans

Vowles admits Williams F1 car floor is “lacking detail”
The floor was exposed after Logan Sargeant crashed at the final corner in FP3 in Barcelona and his car was loaded onto a truck. That came just a week after the undersides of the Red Bull RB19 and Mercedes W14 were both captured after accidents in Monaco led to them being craned away. The apparent simplicity of the Williams floor in comparison to those of other cars – especially the Red Bull – was hard for observers to miss. Vowles says the rear angle of the pictures didn't flatter the Williams, but he conceded that the floor is not as complex as those of other cars. "There are photos taken of our floor this weekend after Logan went off in FP3," he said in a team video. "And obviously those have been compared to photography taken of our competitors just a few weeks ago. "I think one thing to point out is they're a little bit deceptive. What's happened here is it's very focused on that rear diffuser ramp, unlike the other photos that perhaps focus more on the front of … [Read more...] about Vowles admits Williams F1 car floor is “lacking detail”
Aston Martin tease ‘something is coming’ to rival Mercedes upgrades
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. In Spain it went to Mercedes where Lewis Hamilton and George Russell capitalised on an off-weekend for Sergio Perez to finish 2-3 behind race winner Max Verstappen. Alonso has made it clear he not only wants that to be a one-off but he wants to be fighting Verstappen for the race wins, and soon. “I think that in two weeks we will see a completely different picture and, hopefully, we will fight with the Red Bulls soon,” he said. “In … [Read more...] about Aston Martin tease ‘something is coming’ to rival Mercedes upgrades

Watch 1958 Plymouth Dually, Lifted Ford Mustang Become Unlikely Off-Road Warriors
There are vehicles you don't expect to see off-roading at Moab, and it's safe to say a 1958 Plymouth Savoy with dual-wheel rear axle and lifted suspension is on that list. If that's not enough, this video also extensively showcases a similarly rugged SN95-era, 1990s Ford Mustang. Both of these rigs excel off-road. They're traveling with a Ford Bronco club. The Plymouth and Mustang don't seem to have any problem keeping up with the modern SUVs that have engineering for terrain exactly like this. The video's perspective is primarily out of the Savoy's driver-side window. This provides a great view of how the Mustang tackles the obstacles. Other than the expected tire spinning, it puts on an impressive performance. At one point, the Plymouth needs to give the Ford a nudge because the high angles prevent the fuel in the tank from getting to the pump. The guys are on this trip for a good cause. After having fun on the trails, they stop to help clean the environment. In addition … [Read more...] about Watch 1958 Plymouth Dually, Lifted Ford Mustang Become Unlikely Off-Road Warriors
Regency Xalta Ranger Sprinter Camper Features Huge Bathroom For B-Class RV
Class B RVs use a commercial van chassis to create a compact camping rig, but their small physical footprint means that the interior layout has to use space efficiently. The new Regency Xalta Ranger RB features a floor plan that makes room for a huge bathroom in comparison to other vehicles in this segment. On the outside, the Xalta Ranger RB looks like a Mercedes-Benz Sprinter other than the power awning on the passenger side. Regency Recreation offers it in 144-inch and 170-inch wheelbase lengths. The interior is where builders differentiate their campers from competitors' offerings. This video offers a tour of the 170-inch version. Compared to the 144-inch variant, this one offers two captain's chairs in the second row. Behind the seating area, there's a split gallery kitchen. A sink, microwave, and storage spot for a cooktop are on one side. The other has a counter, a refrigerator, and the stereo controls. The TV is also in this area. A bracket lets campers swing it … [Read more...] about Regency Xalta Ranger Sprinter Camper Features Huge Bathroom For B-Class RV
Alain Prost’s engineer reveals when Ayrton Senna tension began within McLaren garage
The most famous F1 teammate rivalry, that of Ayrton Senna and Alain Prost, took a while to bubble up after an amicable start at McLaren. While now well known as the best example of how competitive teammates can turn bitter and ruthless towards each other in their quests for individual glory, the start of Ayrton Senna and Alain Prost’s relationship at the dominant McLaren team in 1988 actually proved quite straightforward. But, as the races ticked by, it seemed inevitable that, at some point, the two highly competitive drivers would develop a more strained dynamic, and McLaren’s Neil Oatley suspects two incidents in particular set off the domino effect that led to the all-out war that developed between Senna and Prost in their title deciders at Suzuka in 1989 and ’90. “It was good. 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
PETRONAS TVS One Make Championship Race 1: A Learning Experience
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). I would first like to start by thanking TVS for hosting the Young Media Racer Program (YMRP), giving us the experience of racing on track, and providing us with adequate professional training to make the most of the opportunity, too! We reached Coimbatore on Friday night and meeting everyone after months of eager waiting was a refreshing moment. It brought back the buzz, the adrenaline, and the feeling of racing. Then came Saturday. Saturday were the practice and qualifying rounds and Sunday was the race. It felt like a proper race weekend! I'm grateful to have … [Read more...] about PETRONAS TVS One Make Championship Race 1: A Learning Experience
2013 Canadian GP review: Vettel makes amends for 2011 – F1 Fanatic
Sebastian Vettel made amends for his last-lap defeat at the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve two years ago and bolstered his championship lead with his third victory of 2013. Advert | Become a Supporter & go ad-free It wasn’t a flawless performance from Vettel – he brushed the wall on the way and ran wide at the first corner. But if he occasionally looked like throwing victory away no one ever looked like taking it off him. Vettel streaks away as Bottas goes backwards The same two drivers shared the front row as last year: Vettel ahead of Lewis Hamilton . But the opening laps were strikingly different: far from keeping Vettel in his sights, Hamilton could only look on as the Red Bull drove away in the opening laps. Behind them Valtteri Bottas fought hard to hold onto his hard-won third place from qualifying but his car was clearly unequal to the struggle. Nico Rosberg passed him off the line and Mark Webber got past in the opening corners. Bottas defended firmly … [Read more...] about 2013 Canadian GP review: Vettel makes amends for 2011 – F1 Fanatic
