Formula 1 2024 - Before The Singapore Grand Prix

We started the season thinking Red Bull will wipe the floor again, but it's been a rollercoaster ride.

This decision bookends a vibrant five-year saga filled with both triumphs and trials for Ocon at Alpine, where he clinched his first Grand Prix victory at the 2021 Hungarian Grand Prix - a moment that remains a highlight in both his career and the team's history.

Ocon's journey with Alpine has been nothing short of cinematic, dotted with podiums including his maiden second-place finish at the 2020 Sakhir Grand Prix and another notable third at the 2023 Monaco Grand Prix.

His consistent performances helped him secure a personal best eighth place in the 2022 Drivers’ Championship, contributing significantly to the team's fourth-place finish in the Constructors’ standings that same year.

The underdog, sitting at the bottom of the constructor standings with just five points, and not one, not two, but four different drivers taking the hot seat. It's like watching a four-act play, each with its own protagonist. But in the world of high-speed racing, you need consistency, and that's what AlphaTauri is gunning for.

World title for Toyota Gazoo Racing after Fuji win

IN Toyota Gazoo Racing, Fuji, Burnpavement, Toyota

The 6 Hours of Fuji - the penultimate race of the 2023 FIA World Endurance Championship (WEC) season, and this time, a homecoming celebration for Toyota Gazoo Racing.

The world of Formula 1 is a delicate art of cutting-edge technology. Every little tweak and change in regulation can make a world of difference to teams, and one such tweak that has been the hot topic of discussion for months was the tyre blanket ban.

These are pads that keep those slick tyres toasty warm before a session, giving them that extra grip on the track.

But, the FIA has suddenly decided to postpone this much-discussed ban. And when I say “postpone,” I mean they’re holding off until after the 2024 season.

Why, you ask? Well, it’s all about energy consumption and the sport’s environmental sustainability targets. They want to make sure they’ve got all their gears in sync before they make such a significant change.

Lamborghini Super Trofeo Asia Kicks Off 2023 Season

IN Lamborghini, Super Trofeo, Asia, 2023, Season, Racing, Lamborghini Super Trofeo Asia

Lamborghini Super Trofeo Asia is back in a big way, with six rounds in six different destinations.

Considered the first pure asphalt round of the season, the Croatia Rally joined the WRC schedule two years ago and the varied roads around the country’s capital city, Zagreb, are already seen as some of the most challenging on the calendar.

With the service park located within Zagreb itself, the stages take place in the north of Croatia close to neighbouring Slovenia. The roads feature a wide variety of different asphalt types, which means that available grip is constantly shifting, while mud and rain can bring about further challenges. Some sections are technical and twisting, but many others are fast and flowing with jumps and crests.

Much of the route for this year is familiar from 2022. After the shakedown on Thursday morning and a ceremonial start in Zagreb that evening, Friday’s opening day action takes place just to the west of the city.
