Lando Norris truly had a day to remember at the Miami Grand Prix, clinching his first Formula 1 victory.

Starting from sixth, Norris wasn't the immediate favourite, especially with his teammate Oscar Piastri showing early promise.

However, as fate would have it, a timely Safety Car intervention played right into Norris's strategy, allowing him to pit and rejoin the race in the lead, a position he defended masterfully against a formidable Max Verstappen.

Ferrari 12Cilindri Keeps The V12 Alive And Well

IN Ferrari, 12Cilindri, V12, Launch

With the new Ferrari 12Cilindri, the famous Italian V12 engine lives on, laughing in the faces of eco-conscious movements.

Aston Martin’s V12-engined behemoths - a line that has defined the zenith of grandeur for a quarter-century.

Of course, the firm doesn’t want to give up on its famed engine any time soon, so it recently unravelled the details of a new updated V12, a powerhouse that not only sustains the legacy of its predecessors but propels it into a new era with unmatched gusto.

Boasting 823hp and 1000Nm of torque, this V12 is the result of an extensive overhaul aimed at enhancing every microscopic detail of the combustion cycle.

The technical ballet performed to bring this engine to life includes fortifying the cylinder block and conrods, revamping cylinder heads, and recalibrating camshafts.

The repositioned spark plugs and new, more voluminous fuel injectors orchestrate a symphony of optimised combustion. Meanwhile, the turbochargers promise a responsiveness that can only be described as telepathic.

It was from pole position that the Dutchman launched into the 56-lap showdown, swiftly establishing a lead that would see him mostly unchallenged, even amidst the unfolding drama behind him.

The race wasn’t without its hurdles, notably when Valtteri Bottas’ mechanical mishap off-track triggered a Safety Car intervention midway through.

This was soon followed by further incidents down the field, prompting the Safety Car’s re-deployment.

Through it all, Verstappen secured his inaugural win at the Shanghai International Circuit with a mix of elation and relief.

If I’m honest, I never really liked the Huracán when it first came out. I’ve always felt that it was overshadowed by the shock and awe that came with the Aventador, and it just felt like the “replacement” for the outgoing Gallardo.

That prejudice changed the day I went for the Huracán Spyder launch back in 2015. There, I met up with a nice chap called Stephen Winklemann, who graciously showed me around the car. Never heard of him? Maybe you should brush up on your Lamborghini history.
