Il n’y a pas grand chose à retenir de ces trois dernières semaines à part que je suis lent (Canal Plus – French)

Lewis Hamilton: ‘I was miles off pace-wise and I didn’t have the speed today. There’s not really anything to take from these three weeks, except for I’m slow so I’ve got to figure out how to undo that.’

Race recap (Haas)

Oliver Bearman: ‘We were struggling a little bit, especially in that first stint with balance, so I wasn’t able to do much out there today. It was close with RB but we couldn’t quite match their pace and I had to get off that medium tire early, plus it’s very tough to overtake and to follow in sector one.’

Sunday (Sauber)

Gabriel Bortoleto: ‘We chose to switch to hard tyres during the Safety Car at the start, but by the final 15 laps, they were completely gone and I was just focused on bringing the car home.’

There it is! Major agreement reached in the WRC: ‘A great step forward for our sport’ (Rally Journal)

‘Swear words uttered in stage-end interviews will no longer be penalised, provided they are not directed at anyone in an insulting or aggressive manner. These interviews take place immediately after intense competitive runs, when emotions are often running high.’

Verschoor secures redemption victory in Jeddah (Formula 2)

‘The Dutchman made the race-winning pass on DAMS Lucas Oil’s Jak Crawford on the final lap, while ART Grand Prix’s Victor Martins earned third position and the final place on the rostrum.’

Weug inherits hard-fought win from penalised Chambers in thrilling Jeddah battle (F1 Academy)

‘Chambers began to build a small lead over her rivals, getting it up to over a second for a short period, but her hopes of clinging onto the lead were dashed as she was handed a five-second time penalty for forcing Weug off the track at turn 22 during their tantalising battle.’

Verstappen’s turn one corner cut on Piastri was similar to what he did with Hamilton in 2021.

On that occasion the race director, Michael Masi, took the unusual step of giving Red Bull the option of handing back the place or risking a penalty.
