30+ min ago (324+ words) Former F1 driver Juan Pablo Montoya backed the struggling seven-time World Champion Lewis Hamilton amid the tumultuous season he has had to endure with Ferrari. Hamilton, who made the lucrative move to Ferrari ahead of the season, has struggled to find his footing in the iconic red of the Prancing Horse in his debut campaign and remains in search of his first win with the Italian manufacturer. "I'm a big believer of Lewis," Montoya, the former Williams and McLaren driver said. "If you give Lewis a bit of hope, that's a scary Lewis, that guy can do something," the 50-year-old Colombian added. For the ongoing season, Ferrari chose to replace Sainz with Hamilton, a significant decision that has yet to yield the desired results. Ferrari driver Charles Leclerc clarified the chairman's comments, highlighting his long-standing and strong relationship with John from…...

45+ min ago (376+ words) The Qatar Grand Prix is the penultimate act of the 2025 Formula 1 season and it has become a thriller. The field heads to the 5.419-kilometre Lusail International Circuit near Doha for a 57-lap night race on a fast, flowing track built for pure speed. This is also the last sprint weekend of the year, compressing practice, qualifying and two races into three intense days. The points table could hardly be tighter. Lando Norris leads with 390 points for McLaren, while team-mate Oscar Piastri and Red Bull's Max Verstappen share second on 366. Piastri sits ahead of Verstappen on race victories, the first tiebreaker if they finish level. Across Qatar and the Abu Dhabi finale there are 58 points available, so all three still control their fate. Las Vegas changed everything. Verstappen won there, but both McLarens were disqualified for excessive floor wear, cutting Norris's…...

1+ hour, 38+ min ago (389+ words) Former Ferrari driver Carlos Sainz backed seven-time World Champion Lewis Hamilton as the Brit continues to endure a lacklustre debut campaign with the Italian manufacturer. Hamilton joined the Prancing Horse ahead of the ongoing campaign in a high-profile move, but things haven't gone to plan as the fabled manufacturer remains in search of their first win this season. Ironically, Sainz remains the last man to win a race in Ferrari colours before his switch to Williams, but the Spaniard backed Hamilton to get better in the fabled red car with time. "I know people like that drama, especially when we're talking about a seven-time world champion," Sainz began. "I side with Lewis, and it's very difficult to join a team and stand out," he added. "Even more so in your first year, when your teammate knows the car and the…...

Southern National Motorsports Park is gearing up for a milestone weekend as the Thanksgiving classic celebrates its 25th anniversary. The storied event returns with one of its strongest fields in years, blending NASCAR star power with short track legends and rising prospects. Here's what you need to know about the 2025 edition. The Thanksgiving classic is Southern National Motorsports Park's crown-jewel season finale, a historic late-model stock car showdown that's been drawing big names and bigger storylines since its first running in 1998, just as the Southern National was wrapping up its sixth year. It was originally called the Winston Turkey 200, and Philip Morris, a five-time NASCAR Advance Auto Parts Weekly Series champion, won the inaugural race.

The Briton, 24 points clear of Australian Oscar Piastri and Red Bull's four-times world champion Max Verstappen, says he also intends to stay on good terms with his McLaren teammate despite there being so much at stake. "Some people choose to be a dick and therefore things go wrong, and things go wrong for the team," the 26-year-old told British reporters in Qatar ahead of a weekend that could secure him the title with a race to spare. "That's also not how I want to try and win, or win a championship or win a race. You have to be overly selfish…...

But the mess is opening an even bigger conversation, because former driver Terri O'Connell says she got treated the same way, only worse, and for reasons that had nothing to do with racing. Terri O'Connell says executives didn't just ignore her, they went out of their way to silence her. "BTW, keeping up with all scandalous text and emails coming from NASCAR executives toward drivers and car owners" they did the same to me only worse even threatening journalists careers if they supported me. "Plus they called and had a TV show killed and media interviews to promote my memoir! I did nothing to provoke them, and was one of their VIP's!" She claimed that they ultimately did all these…...

Speaking to RACER, Cindric was more than happy to share his views. "You know, I've just been catching up on life," Cindric said with a chuckle. "I've had some interesting inquiries within and outside of motorsport, but I haven't committed anything yet to speak of. It's just the way it is. There's certainly more to life than motorsport. I'm finding out that's all I've done all my life. But I'm open-minded to interesting inquiries within and outside…...
