Both drivers were struck from the results for wrongfully being able to use push-to-pass on restarts. The third Team Penske entry of Will Power received a 10-point penalty but was not stripped of his finish as he did not use it on restarts. As a result, 45 days after the checkered flag flew, Arrow McLaren’s Pato O’Ward was promoted to the victory, with Power moved up to second and Andretti Global’s Colton Herta third. A release sent out by IndyCar reads: “An extensive review of data from the race...
Now, the team is about to bring the colour back on its return to US soil, with a special edition collection from PUMA that is expected to be worn by the star drivers, Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sainz, as well as other team members during the race weekend. To mark this occasion, we delved into the history of Ferrari in blue – and this is what we found Sommer stars in Monaco In 1950, Raymond Sommer became the first driver to compete in F1 in a blue Ferrari when he raced a 125 in the Monaco Grand...
Hewlett Packard announced it is set to join Ferrari as its new title partner, renaming the official team to Scuderia Ferrari HP in what has been called a "multi-year" deal. The American technology company and its distinctive blue logo will feature on Ferrari's F1 livery from next week's Miami Grand Prix onwards as well as on its team kit and overalls. The title branding deal will also extend to Ferrari's F1 Academy and esports programmes. “Our founder passed on to us his continuous will to...
Dixon sliced ahead of Power on lap 24, taking the benefit of his fresh set of alternate tires, and went on to score a famous victory by managing his fuel saving to perfection. Power started the race from the front row on his softer-compound rubber, and jumped ahead of poleman Felix Rosenqvist at the opening corner. He extended a 6.5s lead only for Christian Rasmussen to cause the race’s sole caution and negate his advantage. Dixon started eighth and thus only had one qualifying run on his...
The Scuderia is set to unveil a one-off look for the Miami Grand Prix which will make reference to the heritage of the manufacturer in a contemporary manner, with two shades of blue being brought back from the pages of history: Azzurro La Plata and Azzurro Dino. The change will be made to honour Ferrari’s historical place in the US motorsport environment, marking the manufacturer’s 70th anniversary in the American marketplace. In 1964, this breakthrough was marked with a special US white and...
After starting eighth, the 43-year-old New Zealander took advantage of the race's only caution to temporarily halt the 85-lap contest and switched to an alternate strategy. The outcome cycled him to the lead but forced him into fuel conservation. Dixon was able to fend off the Colton Herta, who was running an opposite strategy that allowed him to push for maximum pace, and win at the 11-turn, 1.968-mile street circuit by 0.9798s. After a Race Control issue led to the race starting under caution,...
Malukas was brought in at the conclusion of the 2023 IndyCar season, signed to replace Felix Rosenqvist in the team’s No. 6 Chevrolet after the fallout from the Alex Palou contract drama. But a mountain biking accident in February dealt injuries that led to surgery on the left wrist of Malukas, which has left him unavailable for race weekends or testing since. Arrow McLaren has since leaned heavily on Callum Ilott, who is also contesting the FIA World Endurance Championship with Team Jota. Ilott...
The two manufacturers that will line up behind the Ferrari top-three block-out on the grid believe the Italian marque will maintain its qualifying advantage in the six-hour race. “We are trying to be optimistic but, on pure pace, we are not there with Ferrari,” said Porsche driver Kevin Estre, who took fourth position aboard the #6 963 LMDh in Saturday’s Hyperpole qualifying session. “Of course, it’s a long race and there is strategy to come into play and the chance of contact, but to race with...

Rosenqvist provided the fireworks in a tense qualifying session that saw him beat out Team Pesnke’s Will Power by 0.0039s on a set of used softer alternate tires to take the top spot for Sunday’s Grand Prix of Long Beach. While it was the sixth pole of Rosenqvist’s career, but this one came in just his second points-paying race with MSR. In addition to qualifying second in the season-opening Grand Prix of St. Petersburg last month, he also put in the second-fastest overall – first in Group 1...
Perez enjoyed a solid start to the year with three podiums in four races, all runner-up spots to Verstappen. Those performances have strengthened his position within the team as it is weighing up whether to renew the Mexican's expiring contract or bring in new blood for 2025 and beyond, with plenty of free agents on the market for next year. Last year, Perez appeared to struggle under his own expectations of being able to match Verstappen, with two early wins igniting early world-title...
Antonio Fuoco set two laps good enough for pole position aboard the #50 factory 499P Le Mans Hypercar at the head of a block-out by the three Ferraris in the 10-minute Hyperpole session. The Italian jumped to the top of the times with a 1m29.735s before improving to a 1m29.466s right at the end. “I felt really good inside the car, really confident,” said Fuoco. “The first lap was already quite a good one, but I found some small details on the second run.” Robert Shwartzman found seventh tenths...
