Lando Norris Wins ‘Dream’ Maiden Monaco Grand Prix

Published by Webster

Lando Norris resisted intense pressure to claim a well-deserved victory for McLaren ahead of Ferrari’s local hero Charles Leclerc in Sunday’s strangely chaotic and tactical Monaco Grand Prix. The Briton came home 3.131 seconds clear of last year’s winner with championship leading McLaren team-mate Oscar Piastri taking third. Four-time champion Max Verstappen of Red Bull came next ahead of seven-time champion Lewis Hamilton in the second Ferrari. Norris became the first McLaren winner in Monaco since Hamilton, in his first title-winning season of 2008. It was his first Monaco triumph, his second this year and the sixth of his career. French rookie Isack Hadjar finished sixth for the RB team ahead of Esteban Ocon of Haas, Liam Lawson in the second RB and the Williams pair Alex Albon and Carlos Sainz. “Monaco baby, yeah baby!” screamed Norris from his car during his slowdown lap after closing to within three points of Piastri in the title race.  “It feels amazing. It’s a long and gruelling race. I was nervous into the last corner and …

Flawless Oscar Piastri Converts Pole To Win In Bahrain Grand Prix, Lando Norris Third

Published by Webster

Oscar Piastri powered to victory at the Bahrain Grand Prix on Sunday from George Russell’s Mercedes with the Australian’s McLaren teammate Lando Norris in third. Pole-sitter Piastri kept his calm in an incident-packed race to give McLaren their first ever win in Sakhir at their 21st attempt. Max Verstappen’s trying weekend at the desert track ended with the four-time world champion only managing sixth place. Norris leads the drivers’ standings on 77 points, with Piastri overtaking Verstappen and into second ahead of next weekend’s race in Jeddah. “That should be one hell of a party tonight. Mega weekend everyone. That was pretty damn fun,” Piastri said after marking his 50th start in perfect style. Taking the chequered flag under floodlights on a balmy Sunday evening in the Gulf kingdom was just reward after a weekend he had dominated, both in practice and in qualifying. Despite an incident-packed race behind him, Piastri, who also won in China last month, crossed the line 15.499sec clear of Russell, who was under investigation for an issue with …

How Sergio Perez went from being the ultimate team man to being surplus to requirement at Red Bull | Motor-sport News

Published by Webster

It was about three years ago that the best tribute to Sergio Perez’s skills in Formula 1 and his value as a driver for Red Bull were uttered in a single line over the cackling static of the radio by his teammate Max Verstappen. “Oh, Checo is a legend,” said Verstappen, after his Mexican teammate had kept Lewis Hamilton at bay from Lap 15 to Lap 21 until the Dutch driver caught up and overhauled Hamilton in the last lap. Verstappen and Hamilton were jockeying for more than just a race win in the season-finale at the 2021 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix that day. The duo was also fighting for the 2021 title, which Verstappen did win, thanks to an assist from Perez. Three seasons after being hailed as the ultimate teammate in a sport where most drivers look after their personal interests, Perez will have no seat in the 2025 Formula 1 season. Perez parted ways with the team on Wednesday, after extensive discussions with the team. It was a development many saw coming, …

Lando Norris Fastest As Charles Leclerc Hit With 10-Place Grid Penalty In Abu Dhabi Grand Prix

Published by Webster

British driver Lando Norris led Australian team-mate Oscar Piastri in second practice on Friday as McLaren turned up the heat in their bid to secure the constructors’ title at the season-ending Abu Dhabi Grand Prix. Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc had topped the opening practice session at the Yas Marina Circuit ahead of Norris and Lewis Hamilton, but the Monegasque driver was then penalised for taking a new battery pack on his car. Leclerc’s 10-place grid penalty for Sunday’s race compromises the Italian team’s bid to capture a first constructors’ title since 2008. Ferrari are seeking to overturn a 21-point deficit on leaders McLaren, who last won the constructors’ title in 1998, this weekend. Norris clocked one minute and 23.517 seconds to beat Piastri by two-tenths of a second, ahead of third-placed Nico Hulkenberg of Haas. Carlos Sainz was fourth fastest in the second Ferrari followed by seven-time champion Lewis Hamilton, the British driver in his last race weekend with Mercedes.

F1: Leclerc receives 10-place grid penalty, denting Ferrari’s chances of winning Constructors’ title | Motor-sport News

Published by Webster

Ferrari and McLaren have been in close battle with each other in the second half of the 2024 season to clinch the Formula One’s World Constructors’ Championship, with the battle coming down to Sunday’s last race at the Yas Marina circuit in Abu Dhabi. But just as the first free practice ended on Friday, Ferrari suffered a severe setback to their hopes of winning the Formula One Constructors’ title for the first time since 2008, as Charles Leclerc received a 10-place grid penalty. After Leclerc set the fastest lap in free practice, Ferrari revealed that they had changed the car’s battery, which automatically resulted in a grid penalty. FIA confirmed in a technical report that Leclerc was now using his third energy store for the season, one more than allowed. Ferrari are 21 points behind leaders McLaren, who won the Constructors Championship last in 1998. With 44 points still to be won on Sunday, and third-placed Red Bull out of the running, Ferrari face a herculean task to put both cars ahead of the McLarens …
