Cadillac gives Perez new F1 deal through 2029

Sergio Perez has secured a contract extension with Formula 1's newest team Cadillac, meaning he is set to keep his seat through to the end of the decade. Perez and fellow veteran team-mate Valtteri Bottas had joined the upstart F1 team for this season on "multi-year" contracts, though these weren't thought to go beyond 2027. Unlike for his team-mate Bottas, there has not been any question of Perez keeping the seat for next year - but Cadillac has now emphasised its commitment to and satisfaction with Perez by announcing a new deal on the eve of his home race, the Mexican Grand Prix. The deal has been announced as being "until at least 2029", which The Race understands does include the 2029 season. When every F1 driver's contract expires Perez is set to record his 300th F1 start this weekend, the seventh-ever driver to do so, and the new contract means that in the coming years he is…

Denny Hamlin Slams NASCAR’s Talladega Yellow-Line Calls After Controversial Finish

The disagreement followed Kyle Larson’s dramatic victory, which came after a charge from outside the top 10 on the final lap. The finish sparked questions about several drivers who went below the double yellow lines, a restricted area on superspeedways. NASCAR reviewed the incidents but handed out no penalties that changed the finishing order. A subsequent breakdown on the Hauler Talk podcast attempted to explain the decisions. Hamlin wasn’t convinced. His criticism quickly turned into a public back-and-forth with Forde. Hamlin took aim at NASCAR after The Athletic’s Jeff Gluck shared a summary of the Hauler Talk discussion on X. “My goodness. This is horrible officiating or horrible comms. I think it might be both,” Hamlin wrote. Forde initially responded with a short message: “Thanks for listening.” Hamlin then clarified that he hadn’t listened to the podcast himself. “I didn’t. I…

NASCAR Reveals Black Flag Could Have Changed Talladega Finish

Kyle Larson’s dramatic Talladega victory is still generating questions, and NASCAR has now revealed that another driver came surprisingly close to facing a black flag during the race’s controversial closing moments. While much of the attention following Sunday’s YellaWood 500 centered on whether Larson crossed the double-yellow line during his winning move, NASCAR officials were also reviewing a separate incident involving Austin Hill. And according to NASCAR vice president of racing communications Mike Forde, the outcome could have been considerably different had Hill reached Victory Lane. Speaking on this week’s episode of NASCAR’s “Hauler Talk” podcast, Forde explained why officials considered penalizing Hill, why they ultimately chose not to and what might have happened if the No. 33 Chevrolet had won the race. Hill’s potential violation occurred as he attempted to make a pass on…

How Should NASCAR Handle Yellow Line, Fuel Mileage Debates After Talladega?

NASCAR’s double-yellow line rule caused NASCAR a little bit of a headache again this week as questions remained about whether Kyle Larson went below the lines in his race-winning pass last Sunday at Talladega Superspeedway. The rule has been around for decades, as NASCAR doesn’t want drivers to try to make a pass on the apron and then try to merge back into traffic when the apron narrows to the racing groove. That is a recipe for even a bigger wreck than what is common at Daytona and Talladega. Should Kyle Larson have been penalized at Talladega? Still, there is no real clear definition of what constitutes "below." NASCAR says its interpretation (clarified from the weekend) is the entirety of both left-side tires and that if any part of either tire is on the line, then it’s good. That makes perfect sense, although in many sports, out of bounds means that any part of the body is on or…
