The 20-year-old Italian clinched the title in Qatar with a round to spare last Sunday, taking four wins and five podiums to date. He follows in the footsteps of McLaren's F1 title contender Oscar Piastri, and the team's former development driver Gabriel Bortoleto, who is now racing for Sauber, as drivers who won F3 and F2 titles in successive years. Fornaroli's Dutch Formula Two rival Richard Verschoor, third in the series, has also joined the McLaren development programme. As well as Formula One, McLaren have a team in…...

Before closing the gap to F1 championship leader Lando Norris at the Qatar Grand Prix, Verstappen warned once again that he may quit the sport if the new technical regulations are not "fun". F1 is bringing in sweeping changes to its rules from 2026, including the removal of DRS, which is advertised as bringing closer racing to the grid. However, the four-time world champion admitted he would willingly walk away from F1 and join another racing series "tomorrow" if he stops enjoying himself. The flying Dutchman would doubtless be a huge loss to F1, but according to SunSport's F1 Insider Richard Hopkins " former head of operations at…...

The former Red Bull chief had been linked with a move to the Silverstone-based outfit after reports emerged saying Andy Cowell's position was under threat amid a power struggle with F1 design legend Newey. However, a stunning announcement by team boss Lawrence Stroll confirmed Newey, 66, would move into the role of team principal for the first time in his career while Cowell becomes chief strategy officer. Stroll further rubbished claims Horner would join the team with an unequivocal answer of "not happening" during a team speech to Aston Martin staff as the leadership restructure was announced. But SunSport's F1 Insider Richard Hopkins " former head of…...

58+ min ago (424+ words) The countdown is finally over! On Monday, the lawsuit of 23XI Racing and Front Row Motorsports against NASCAR got underway, beginning with jury selection, opening statements, and partial testimony from the first witness. After the first day's proceedings, NASCAR shared three key points with the media in an effort to counter the accusations from the plaintiffs. The strategy for 23XI and Front Row Motorsports became apparent through the co-owner's partial testimony with Jeanifer Parsigian and the opening statement from lead attorney Jeffrey Kessler. Kessler told the court that over the next two weeks, the jury will see evidence of an anti-competitive strategy by NASCAR CEO Jim France. These include emails and messages from executives Steve Phelps, Steve O'Donnell, and Scott Prime showing they knew teams were being treated unfairly in charter negotiations. After the first day of the trial, NASCAR sent statements…...

1+ hour, 8+ min ago (638+ words) The first day of the NASCAR trial began on December 1, 2025, in Charlotte, North Carolina. The NASCAR lawsuit was brought by 23XI Racing, co-owned by Michael Jordan and Denny Hamlin, along with Front Row Motorsports. They argue that NASCAR acts like a monopoly through track deals, the charter system, and rules that they say limit how teams earn and grow. NASCAR and Jim France deny those claims. Day 1 included jury selection, new courtroom rules, opening statements, and emotional testimony from Hamlin. The courtroom was packed, and the presence of Jordan and top NASCAR leaders showed how serious this NASCAR trial has become. More than 30 possible jurors were screened for the NASCAR trial, and many were dismissed for strong personal views. Two were removed because they said they could not be fair toward Michael Jordan. One even said, "I like Mike," while giving…...

It's an uncomfortable role for a driver who has spent most of his life thundering around racetracks like a man convinced the throttle has only two positions: wide open and are you sure that's all it's got? But there is another role NASCAR's most complicated figure has been playing, almost quietly. A role that doesn't involve horsepower, helmets, or turning a stubborn race car into something resembling a competitive object. Here, at the quiet edge of 2025 the two-time Cup champion can be spotted following his daughter around Millbridge Speedway a 1/7-mile dirt track near Mooresville, North Carolina'not in a stock car but following behind her on an ATV at walking speed while she circles the clay in a tiny micro dirt car roughly the size of a…...

A desk occupies the center of the garage studio, and a whiteboard covered in technical diagrams stands over it. The diagrams refer to how the seat of a Baja vehicle " a small off-road car designed for the Society of Automotive Engineers engineering competition " will be installed. NYU Motorsports plans to race with the automobile in an intercollegiate race hosted by the SAE International at the end of the academic year. Though the team approaches every year with high hopes, it's approaching the 2025-26 season as a rebuild year. Founded in 2015, the team has seen its fair share of ups and downs during its decadelong history. "The team started out pretty poorly," Arjun Krishnan,…...

But Sky F1's Martin Brundle dismissed that theory outright, shutting down the idea that McLaren froze because they were terrified of favouring one driver over the other in a double-stack nightmare. The former Grand Prix driver believes the team didn't lose out because of its commitment to fairness " they just got the call wrong. Flat-out. McLaren was the only squad that refused to pit under the lap-7 Safety Car triggered by Nico H'lkenberg and Pierre Gasly's clash. With Pirelli imposing a maximum 25-lap stint length, most of the field " including both Red…...
