He may not have had the best time there, but Fernando Alonso feels returning to McLaren would have made his F1 comeback easier. The Spaniard left the sport at the end of the 2018 campaign after four disappointing seasons with the British team in which points were often hard to come by. After two years away from the grid, he […] Alex Albon admits the signs would be ominous for his Formula 1 career if he cannot get a race seat next year. The London-born Thai driver is on the sidelines this season after being dropped by Red Bull in favour of Sergio Perez, but has been praised by the team for the work he has been carrying out in the […] Alpine executive director Marcin Budkowski says the main motivation behind Fernando Alonso returning to F1 was with 2022’s regulation changes in mind. Alonso rejoined the Enstone team on an initial one-year contract with the option of a second – and Alpine CEO Laurent Rossi has confirmed the team are looking at exercising that option in the coming weeks. The double […] Toto Wolff says Lewis Hamilton is becoming a convert to the benefits of the Mercedes simulator, which helped him significantly at Silverstone. While many drivers find the sim a useful aid in learning how their car will operate on certain tracks, the seven-time World Champion has tended to be more reluctant. Hamilton said earlier this year he had “no interest […] Kimi Raikkonen says he will not assess his son Robin’s driving talent, from a motorsport career perspective, until he is 12. The 2007 World Champion could be about to enter his last half-season of Formula 1, with speculation increasing that he will retire at the end of the year. Raikkonen will turn 42 in October and has scored only a […] Daniel Ricciardo has had a bonkers, and thankfully sarcastic, suggestion for pumping some excitement back into the Monaco Grand Prix. When it comes to iconic stops on the Formula 1 calendar, Monaco is the big one, with a victory around the streets of Monte Carlo not only putting a driver in the Formula 1 history books but also ticking off […] Mercedes asked Valtteri Bottas to look for signs of damage to Lewis Hamilton’s car after his collision with Max Verstappen at the British Grand Prix. In the most dramatic incident of the 2021 season so far, the two World Championship rivals clipped wheels at Silverstone’s Copse corner on the opening lap and Verstappen’s Red Bull went hurtling into the barrier. […] Andreas Seidl says Formula 1’s first foray into sprint qualifying didn’t offer any “big surprises” or “big learnings” for McLaren. Last time out at Silverstone, Formula 1 trialed a sprint qualifying race weekend format. That meant qualifying took place on Friday evening with Lando Norris P6 to Daniel Ricciardo’s P7, the team-mates behind Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc who was fourth fastest. […] McLaren Racing CEO Zak Brown says the team have no excuse to be anything but title contenders come the 2024 season. The Woking outfit endured a deep decline from 2013-2018, but since then much brighter days have followed with McLaren battling hard to secure P3 in the Constructors’ Championship for back-to-back seasons. Lando Norris has already visited the podium three […] Red Bull boss Christian Horner still believes that their criticism of Mercedes and Lewis Hamilton at Silverstone was justified. Hamilton and Max Verstappen were involved in a controversial crash at Copse on the opening lap of the British Grand Prix, one which eliminated Verstappen from the race and left him needing precautionary checks in hospital after a 51G impact with […]
