  • Barnard: No time to worry about Formula E Monaco debut after such short notice

    The 19-year-old Briton became the youngest starter of a Formula E race when he competed in Saturday’s Monaco E-Prix, having only been told 20 minutes before the second practice session that he would be competing. This was after regular McLaren driver Bird suffered a high-speed off at Sainte Devote in the day’s earlier FP1 session that left him with a broken bone in his left hand, meaning Barnard got the call-up as the team’s reserve driver. “The first initial reaction was a lot of nerves, a lot...

  • MotoGP Spanish GP: Martin wins demolition derby sprint from Acosta

    Martin leaped into the lead on the opening lap but was quickly reeled in and passed by poleman Marquez, who looked on course for a first Gresini Ducati win.

  • WEC Imola: Ferrari 1-2-3 in dominant qualifying feat

    Antonio Fuoco set two laps good enough for pole position aboard the #50 factory 499P Le Mans Hypercar at the head of a block-out by the three Ferraris in the 10-minute Hyperpole session.  The Italian jumped to the top of the times with a 1m29.735s before improving to a 1m29.466s right at the end.  “I felt really good inside the car, really confident,” said Fuoco. “The first lap was already quite a good one, but I found some small details on the second run.” Robert Shwartzman found seventh-tenths...

  • Shanghai F1 grass fire mystery remains; emergency team on standby

    The FIA began a detailed probe on Friday night after two separate fires on the same area of grass inside Turn 7 disrupted running on the opening day of track action. First practice for the Chinese Grand Prix on Friday morning had to be red-flagged after a blaze erupted on the grass before the same section later caught fire at the end of the first session of sprint qualifying. While there was no red flag this time, because session running had already ended, it did trigger a delay to the start of...
