The Italian driver, behind the wheel of the SSR Lamborghini Huracan GT3 EVO2, put on a performance that stunned his rivals, despite carrying the weighty baggage of Balance of Performance (BoP) penalties. His triumph in Saturday’s race and a pole position for Sunday, followed by a respectable fourth-place finish, have now placed him at the top of the championship standings. But, as with all stories of extraordinary success, there are whispers; was the Lamborghini overperforming? The paddock is buzzing with questions, and many drivers, including three-time DTM champion René Rast, are wondering if Bortolotti’s Lamborghini was truly hindered by the hefty ballast it carried, or if the car had more pace in reserve than anyone expected.

Lamborghini Dorminates Red Bull Ring, But DTM Rivals Question Team’s “Overperformance”

IN Lamborghini, Red Bull Ring, DTM, Racing, Huracan EVO, Mirko Bortolotti, Austria

The DTM weekend at the Red Bull Ring saw some raised eyebrows, and most of them were aimed squarely at one man: Mirko Bortolotti.


In a race where he controlled proceedings from start to finish, Norris crossed the line a full 20 seconds ahead of championship leader Max Verstappen, tightening the title race and reducing Verstappen's points cushion. For those familiar with Norris’s past struggles from the front, his flawless start came as a pleasant surprise. He slotted neatly ahead of Verstappen at Turn 1, immediately setting the tone for the race. From there, it was almost as if Norris had an extra gear. In the end, it was smooth sailing for the McLaren driver.

Red Bull recently scrapped their plans for a fan-designed livery at the Singapore and US Grand Prix, citing concerns about the added weight. But McLaren has swooped in to unveil their own one-off paint job for this weekend’s race, with a design that harks back to their iconic red and white Marlboro-liveried glory days of the 70s and 80s. Unlike Red Bull’s cancelled designs, McLaren’s new look is more of a colour swap than an addition of weight.

McLaren Unveiled Custom Singapore Grand Prix Livery

You can’t help but notice that this is a cheeky jab from McLaren to Red Bull.


The REBL CUSTMS campaign, meant to celebrate the team’s 20-year journey in Formula 1, had promised fans the opportunity to see their custom design grace the Red Bull RB20 on race day. At first glance, the campaign seemed like a dream come true for F1 enthusiasts. Fans were invited to join Red Bull’s ‘Paddock’ fan community, submit their livery designs, and stand a chance to win a package that included flights, accommodation, race tickets, and their design on the race car itself. The competition, which ran from 30 May to 19 June, garnered considerable excitement as five designs made it to the final voting stage. But then came the rub: paint. In Formula 1, every gram counts. Added paint means added weight, and added weight means lost time on track. As the team explained in their newsletter ahead of this weekend’s race, it’s a compromise they simply weren’t willing to make.

Let’s be real, when someone like Newey, arguably the greatest technical mind in F1 history, decides to join your team, it’s not just big news. The man has a resume that speaks for itself: 25 Formula One World titles to his name, leading the charge at teams like Red Bull Racing and McLaren. But what’s particularly exciting about this move is that it marks a fresh challenge for Newey, one where he feels he can bring something new to the table, and Aston Martin seems to be the perfect fit for that creative energy. Starting March 1, 2025, Newey will take on the role of Managing Technical Partner at the team’s state-of-the-art Silverstone headquarters, a shift that signals Aston Martin’s serious intent to compete at the very top.

Williams has been mulling over a driver change, especially after a series of underwhelming performances from Sargeant, culminating in yet another high-speed crash during practice at the Dutch Grand Prix. With Sargeant yet to secure a point this season and the latest incident damaging the team’s upgraded package, Williams team boss James Vowles has decided it’s time for a change. Vowles spent the Zandvoort weekend in discussions with rival team bosses, exploring potential replacements for Sargeant. Among the early candidates were Mercedes reserve Mick Schumacher and Red Bull reserve Liam Lawson, with both teams expressing openness to a deal. However, Williams ultimately decided to go in a different direction, choosing their Driver Academy talent, Franco Colapinto, as the best fit for the remainder of the season.

Norris showed why he’s a force to be reckoned with, reclaiming the lead after Verstappen’s early surge and denying the Dutchman what would have been his fourth consecutive win on home soil. Starting from pole, Norris had high hopes of leading the race from the get-go. But Verstappen, ever the aggressive starter, got the jump at turn one, leaving Norris to chase down the Red Bull star. For a moment, it looked like Verstappen would run away with it, breaking free of the DRS range and pulling ahead.

In the latest 2023 Impact Report, SGP announced a commendable 20.7% reduction in emissions from the 2022 baseline within a five-month reporting period, with total emissions amounting to 1880.80t (CO2e). This feat excludes freight, logistics, and travel by Formula 1 and its teams. Energy is the primary source of emissions for the event. Direct emissions from fuel combustion, known as Scope 1, accounted for 46.56% of total emissions, representing a significant 40.97% decrease from the previous year. This reduction was primarily driven by substituting diesel with low-carbon alternatives for power generators and other energy management initiatives. In 2023, SGP powered select generators in the Circuit Park with biodiesel, including Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil (HVO), and increased the use of B100 biodiesel. The plan is to extend the use of green fuels across all generators by 2028, potentially reducing energy emissions by up to 52%.
