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.

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.
