McLaren Services, a division of the McLaren Formula 1 team, has been fined £650,000 after being found guilty of two health and safety charges resulting in the death of senior engineer David Oldham. Inspecting the Formula 1 team’s motorhome in October 2016, the mobile building that’s taken to grand prix weekends, he fell from height. Found on the floor of the warehouse, the 55-year-old was taken to the John Radcliffe Hospital in Oxford where he passed away the following day. During a trial at Reading Crown Court, the jury heard that Oldham had been working on a level with exposed edges while inspecting the motorhome’s ceiling, something he’d already done five times prior. The court learnt that while people had been advised to stay two metres from the edge, that was not in the official written document. McLaren were found guilty of two health and safety violations, the company’s McLaren Services’ division handed a £650,000 fine. Sentencing Judge Amjad Khan said as per the … [Read more...] about McLaren fined £650,000 over the death of a senior engineer in 2016

This is a carousel. Use Next and Previous buttons to navigate 6 WASHINGTON (AP) — The Federal Reserve's favored inflation gauge slowed sharply last month, an encouraging sign in the Fed's yearlong effort to cool price pressures through steadily higher interest rates. Friday’s report from the Commerce Department showed that consumer prices rose 0.3% from January to February, down from a 0.6% increase from December to January. Measured year-over-year, prices rose 5%, slower than the 5.3% annual increase in January. Excluding volatile food and energy prices, so-called core inflation rose 0.3% from January and 4.6% from a year earlier. Both were slowdowns from the previous month. The Fed is believed to pay particular attention to the core measure as a gauge of underlying inflation pressures. Taken as a whole, Friday's figures show that inflation pressures, though easing gradually, still maintain a grip on the economy. The Fed … [Read more...] about A key inflation gauge tracked by the Fed slowed in February

The Porsche 911 lineup is getting refreshed, including the Targa models. Our spy photographers have already captured the various 911 coupe and convertible versions out testing over the last several months, and those design tweaks will also come to the Targa. The revamped 911 Targa looks a lot like the car currently on sale. The tweaks aren’t instantly noticeable, but they are there. At the front, the Targa test vehicle has just two horizontal slats in the front bumper intakes instead of three like on the current car. The test Targa also lacks the active aero slats that typically occupy the intake space, but this could be a different engine option or version.

It's hard to believe, but the Alfa Romeo Tonale debuted over a year ago. Perhaps it's not so hard to believe for our friends in Europe, where Tonales are already road-tripping across the old continent. Meanwhile in the US, we're still waiting to sample this sharp compact crossover. Now that production is beginning for North America, that wait will soon be over. Built at the Alfa Romeo plant in Naples, Italy, the Tonale is the automaker's first plug-in hybrid. It's also available in pure combustion format with a 2.0-liter turbocharged engine, but North America will only see the PHEV version. To refresh your memory, the powertrain pairs a turbocharged 1.3-liter four-cylinder engine with a single electric motor, producing a snappy 285 combined horsepower. All four wheels get power; the electric handles the rear while the engine manages the front. A six-speed automatic transmission changes gears, and for zero-emission operation, a 15.5-kWh battery offers a range of over 30 miles. … [Read more...] about 2024 Alfa Romeo Tonale Production For North America Is Finally Underway

Listen to this article The Spaniard was flicked from his Tech3 GASGAS in the closing stages of FP2 at the Algarve International Circuit’s Turn 10 last Friday. He sickeningly hit a tyre barrier that was not protected by an air fence and suffered fractures to his jaw and back, as well as trauma to his lungs. Espargaro was airlifted to hospital in Faro that Friday before being transferred to Barcelona, where he underwent surgery on his jaw fracture. Speaking during the world feed broadcast of this morning’s Argentina Grand Prix FP1 session, Tech3 boss Poncharal offered a positive update on Espargaro’s condition. “I’ve got very good news, because clearly Pol is so full of life and so willing to come back that he was feeling a bit down the past few days being alone in an intensive care room without the possibility to get out of bed,” Poncharal began. “And when you know him, it must be painful. The good news is he’s been transferred to a normal room, with no more … [Read more...] about Pol Espargaro out of ICU and walking after violent Portugal MotoGP crash

Listen to this article The opening practice session at Melbourne's Albert Park was red-flagged after 40 minutes due to a loss of GPS data, which meant teams could no longer track each other on around the circuit. That problem, which was triggered by a glitch in the distribution of live tyre information , caused several near-misses on track as drivers no longer received traffic advisory calls from their team. Before the red flag call, AlphaTauri's Yuki Tsunoda narrowly avoiding plowing into a Ferrari in the sweeping second sector, while Aston Martin's Stroll caught a train of slow traffic that was unaware of his arrival. Haas's Nico Hulkenberg was caught out by a cruising McLaren of Lando Norris in the final sector, locking up his brakes and skidding across the grass in the penultimate corner. His team-mate Magnussen explained that drivers would have likely been fine if they had known in advance to rely on their own senses, but because some drivers were still … [Read more...] about Why F1 drivers seemed “blindfolded” by Melbourne GPS issue
