Next season, Pierre Gasly is "100% sure" to return to AlphaTauri, and teams feel Oscar Piastri is ready for a promotion to Formula One. However, Williams expects their roster to remain constant until the end of the year, which would be fantastic news for Nicholas Latifi if true, while McLaren chief Zak Brown stated his relationship with Daniel Ricciardo has never been better. All of this was disclosed on Saturday at the Canadian Grand Prix, the ninth race on the calendar this year and more than six weeks before F1's "silly season" of driver movement gets underway. Since last month, when Brown publicly warned Ricciardo to improve his performance with McLaren, speculation has swirled. Despite the fact that Brown's contract with ...

Lewis Hamilton took out by team-mate as Sebastian Vettel lost all-time great Formula 1 race | FormulaNASCAR

"Lewis Hamilton took out by a team-mate as Sebastian Vettel lost all-time"  Source FormulaNASCAR - Ahead of this weekend's Canadian Grand Prix, Mirror Sport remembers one of the greatest races ever to take place on the Montreal track – featuring a record-breaking comeback from Jenson Button. The Circuit Gilles-Villeneuve has played host to some iconic races over the years, and the 2011  Canadian Grand Prix  might just be the best of them.

Overtaking masterclass at the Hungaroring in ETCR Formula 1 | FormulaNASCAR Much is said about the difficulty of overtaking in championships such as Formula 1, with "DRS trains" or narrow tracks meaning a lack of entertainment. In the ETCR, where the cars are almost identical, one might think it was the same, but it is not. In the ETCR, the cars have a maximum power of 500Kw for the qualifying laps, while in the quarter-finals, semi-finals and finals races the cars are limited to 300Kw but they are able to use the "Power Up". It is an instant increase in power to 450Kw that lasts 40 seconds for the quarter-finals and only 20 seconds for the semi-finals and the final. The use of this button is very important for strategy because, unlike F1's DRS, this extra power is used both to attack the car in front and also to defend against a possible overtaking. The job of the engineers in the wall is to predict, warn and advise the driver when it is better to spend t...
