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…...

The move closes one chapter of his career and opens another " one defined by high-speed ovals, wheel-to-wheel battles, and the legendary Indianapolis 500. Schumacher's switch comes after two seasons in the WEC with Alpine, where he proved competitive in the A424 LMDh prototype and collected three podiums. But single-seaters remained his true north star, and after testing an IndyCar for the first time on the Indianapolis road course last month, the path forward became clear. "I am delighted to confirm today that I will be competing in the INDYCAR SERIES next year with Rahal Letterman Lanigan Racing, taking part in the…...

While the Sin City street circuit offered high-speed thrills, the veteran Spaniard didn't hold back after a challenging evening saw him slip from a seventh-place start to a disappointing 13th-place finish, his car having sustained damage early on. Alonso's post-race critique was a blunt, two-pronged attack on both the quality of the asphalt and the logistical nightmare of the race's calendar slot, suggesting the event is, quite simply, "not Formula 1 standard." While the layout of the Strip-based circuit earned a thumbs-up for its pace, the actual surface beneath the tyres received a damning condemnation. Alonso, never one to shy away from a controversial opinion, expressed serious concerns over the…...
