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”

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


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.

But while the T1’s performance was otherworldly (supposedly able to pull 3Gs of downforce at 240km/h), sadly it suffered a raft of high-profile reliability issues at the worst possible moment: when the demonstrators were in the hands of the media (most memorably on Fifth Gear and Top Gear). Caparo had intended to make 25 T1s a year, but in the end only 15 were ever sold.
