Today, he is highly regarded. But when he first stepped into the role, there were plenty of surprises waiting for him. In a 2024 interview with Fronstretch, Burton was asked if there were things that he observed as a commentator that he missed out as a driver. He responded by pointing out that he had initially been oblivious to all the massive loads of work that went behind the scenes in broadcasting an event, since he was only focused on what went on in the race track and garage as a driver. Burton added, "My first few races on the other side of the…...

The confetti had barely settled on the Las Vegas Strip when the post-race drama hit McLaren like a desert sandstorm at full fury. The FIA's post-race scrutiny found that the skid blocks on both Lando Norris' and Oscar Piastri's cars had worn beyond the legal limit, a fundamental technical regulation failure. The double-DSQ stripped Norris of a crucial second-place finish and Piastri of a solid fourth, instantly reducing Norris's lead at the top of the championship to just 24 points over both Max Verstappen and Piastri, who are now level on points. It was an astonishing swing, one that Jos…...

Yet one set of texts stands out, aimed at a hall-of-fame figure, and this might threaten to divide the NASCAR community even more. Richard Childress, who started his NASCAR team in 1969 and snagged six Cup titles with drivers like Dale Earnhardt, helped the sport become a household name during the 80s and 90s era. Naturally, the leaked messages didn't sit well with fans. These disrespectful remarks surfacing when the case is heading toward a December trial expose how executives get frustrated with team owners when they do not align with their ideas or deals. Such raw language also risks swaying the jury, painting NASCAR as a bully in a suit claiming…...

1+ hour, 54+ min ago (507+ words) Two-time champion Fernando Alonso has admitted that he is looking forward to saying 'farewell' to this year's F1 season and Aston Martin's 2025 car. It's been a difficult season for the Silverstone-based outfit, who are currently sat down in eighth in the constructors' championship, behind Haas and Racing Bulls. They've regressed over the past couple of seasons, and this year, Alonso has only managed to score 40 points from 22 race weekends, not once threatening the podium positions. That is despite the 44-year-old being in good form himself, out-qualifying team-mate Lance Stroll at all 22 grand prix weekends so far. In 2026, the team are hoping to take a step closer to the front of the pack, with new regulations sweeping into the sport, and the team having signed design legend Adrian Newey to their ranks. Their ultimate aim is to win the world championship, but…...

Four-time runner-up Evans leads Sebastien Ogier by three points going into Rally Saudi Arabia (25-29 November), a brand new event to conclude a 14-race calendar. If the 36-year-old Welshman can fend off the challenge of his Toyota team-mate he will become only the third British WRC champion after Scotland's Colin McRae in 1995 and England's Richard Burns in 2001. "Rallying has been kept down a little bit because they've not really had many people to shout about," said Nicky Grist, a former co-driver with McRae who also partnered Juha Kankkunen…...
