Lewis Hamilton Gets Monza Grid Penalty, Optimistic Of Maintaining Win Record | Formula 1 News

[ad_1] Lewis Hamilton was full of optimism on Friday that he can still win a race this season to uphold a record of at least one grand prix success every year since his debut in 2007. Mercedes have endured a roller-coaster campaign with their capricious 2022 car, but the seven-time world champion has come close to getting a win on the board, most recently at Zandvoort last weekend. "I do believe that I have the chance this year, we've still got seven races to go, and that's still a really big goal for us as a team to get back to the front and be fighting for the lead," he said at Monza ahead of this weekend's Italian Grand Prix.The Briton's pursuit of the chequered flag in Italy has been hampered by a grid penalty for an engine change, his fourth power unit of the year."My third engine t...

Dutch Grand Prix: Lewis Hamilton Apologises For Emotional Radio Outburst | Formula 1 News

[ad_1] Lewis Hamilton apologised to his Mercedes team for his angry reaction on Sunday after a late safety car intervention upset his bid to win the Dutch Grand Prix. The seven-time world champion was leading the race ahead of team-mate George Russell before the late drama when Valtteri Bottas parked his Alfa Romeo on the track and retired. Mercedes left Hamilton out on a set of cold, worn medium-compound tyres as Russell and Max Verstappen pitted for soft tyres for a late dash to the flag.In an expletive-laden radio outburst, Hamilton said he could not believe what had happened, but he later revised that view and withdrew his earlier comments."I think we had a car to win," he said. "Given the circumstances, we were challenged with lots of things -- the safety car, a virtual safety car -...

Charles LecLerc Calls For ‘Tear-Offs’ Ruling As Ferrari Look To Bounce Back | Formula 1 News

[ad_1] Charles Leclerc on Thursday called for a clear ruling to prevent drivers throwing visor 'tear-offs' on the track during races, after his hopes of success in Belgium were ruined by a Max Verstappen discard. Speaking to reporters ahead of this weekend's Dutch Grand Prix, the second race in a trio of events that wind up the European part of this year's championship, the Ferrari driver made clear he did not blame his rival. Last weekend, a tear-off dropped by Red Bull's world champion and runaway series leader ended up making its way into a brake duct of the Ferrari, causing the brakes to overheat.That, in turn, led to an unscheduled early pit stop that wrecked Leclerc's hopes of a desperately-needed victory.Verstappen, from 14th on the grid, won convincingly to lead his Red Bull team...

History ‘Not Enough’ To Save Formula 1’s Landmark Races | Formula 1 News

[ad_1] Formula 1 chief Stefano Domenicali warned Wednesday that "history is not enough" and that mere nostalgia cannot guarantee the survival of grand prix landmarks. Doubts over the long-term futures of iconic races such as Spa in Belgium and Monza in Italy have lingered this season. At the same time, new, money-spinning stops on the calendar have arrived in Saudi Arabia and Miami.Next year, Las Vegas welcomes motor-racing's showcase series."There were periods when Belgium was not on the calendar. It came back. We sometimes have short memories," said Domenicali."It's a great place, no doubt and that's why we are talking."At Monza, there will be the celebration this year of the 100th anniversary of the Italian Grand Prix."But as an Italian, I always tell them: you have to realise that hi...
