Indianapolis 500 Veteran Hucul Dies at 79   INDIANAPOLIS (Friday, Feb. 20, 2026) – Canadian driver Cliff Hucul, a veteran of three Indianapolis 500 starts in the late 1970s, died Feb. 17 on his farm in his native Prince George, British Columbia. He was 79. Hucul made three consecutive starts in “The Greatest Spectacle in Racing” from 1977-79. His best finish came as a rookie in 1977, 22nd in the No. 29 Team Canada McLaren/Offenhauser that Hucul bought after Johnny Rutherford drove it to victory in the 1976 “500.” Hucul completed 72 laps before being sidelined by gearbox problems. He qualified on Bump Day for that race despite touching the wall in practice the previous day and suffering two engine failures during the Month of May, a significant pitfall for his low-budget team. Hucul's best qualifying spot was 18th in 1979, his final “500” start. The small-town driver from northern British Columbia learned his craft by racing stock cars and modified sprint cars at local tracks. He then began racing modifieds and supermodifieds in the Pacific Northwest against drivers that included eventual Indianapolis 500 winner and INDYCAR SERIES champion Tom Sneva and his brother Jerry Sneva. Hucul made 24 total USAC and CART starts between 1977-81, with eight top-10 finishes. Hucul's best finish in the standings was 11th in 1979, when he started the season by placing fifth at Ontario Motor Speedway and a career-best fourth at Texas World Speedway. In 1996, Hucul became a paraplegic after an automobile accident when crossing black ice on a highway in British Columbia. Despite being confined to a wheelchair, Hucul remained active, managing his farm and mentoring many drivers in the area. He was inducted into the Prince George Sports Hall of Fame for his lifetime contributions to auto racing. Hucul is survived by his son, Kelly, and daughter-in-law, Sylvie; daughter, Michele, and many grandchildren. 2026 BAHRAIN TESTING - WEEK 1, DAY 3 MAX VERSTAPPEN “Looking at the test overall, the Team got in a good number of laps on the first day so we were happy with that. We completed a lot of things that we wanted to test with the new Power Unit and the car in general. Today it was a continuation of that plus also trying to explore a little bit more with the car; you go through so many test items that it continues to change and evolve with everything that you are testing. In general, it is all so new that we are still learning a lot, but the car was good. We also have new tyres, so we spent some time looking at different sets and understanding what we need to improve and be better at. With the power unit, looking at the laps we got on the board, the start that we have had is good. That's exactly what we wanted to do and it was not a given. Whether it will be enough to win races, we don't know, we will just focus on ourselves and try to do the best we can, but there is still massive room for improvement. Finally, with the car, we learnt a lot about what worked and what didn't. Our runs also gave us even more ideas for the afternoon with Isack and then for next week, where we can continue to try new things and different set ups.” ISACK HADJAR “The first week here in Bahrain has gone well. Of course, I had to wait a little before getting in the car after Barcelona, but once I did, we were able to put it to the test and really work through what we need ahead of next week and Melbourne. There are so many things to look at, but we're staying on track with our programme so far. True performance and pace are always hard to judge in pre-season, but we can be happy with the reliability we've had from the power unit this week. There are still things to work on in terms of balance and tyre management, but that's completely normal for this time of year. We're working through it together as a Team to get where we want to be for Australia. I've known the people here for a while now, but it's great to be working with them again in an environment like this." ASTON MARTIN The Aston Martin Aramco Formula One™ Team concluded its testing programme at the Bahrain International Circuit today, with Lance Stroll returning to the cockpit of the AMR26 for the final time before the Australian Grand Prix. Lance did not get on track until late in the morning session due to a battery-related issue that had impacted Fernando's running yesterday. Honda carried out simulations on the test bench at HRC Sakura before the car returned to the track. Due to a shortage of power unit parts, the run plan was very limited and consisted only of short stints. Lance Stroll “It's been a challenging couple of weeks here in Bahrain, and today's limited running wasn't the way we wanted to finish the second test. It's clear the car isn't where we want it to be performance-wise, and we know there's a lot of work ahead in the coming weeks and months. There's a long season ahead, and we'll keep pushing flat out to unlock more performance. I want to say a big thank you to everyone trackside and back at the AMRTC for the work that's gone in so far. It's not where we want to be right now, but I know how determined this team is. We'll stick together, rise to the challenge and keep working until we deliver the performance we are looking for.” WILLIAMS F1 2026 Bahrain pre-season testing – Day 3 James Vowles, Team Principal: Another solid day of running and mileage. It's great to see that across the last six days of testing, we've been predominantly tyre and time limited, and able to complete the full programme that we wanted. That's just a testament to the hard work of the teams, both here and in Grove, making sure that we made up for lost time. 
 No one truly knows where all the performance lies. That's what Melbourne is all about, so I can't wait to go there, to gain a further understanding of where we are. What I know for sure, though, is we have work to do. There's no doubt about it. We've put ourselves on the back foot. But my assurance to everyone is that we have an aggressive programme lining up in front of us in order to make sure that we extract as much performance in this car as possible over the forthcoming months. Carlos Sainz: The past six days of testing in Bahrain has been one of the most interesting and challenging tests that I've been part of, given the new regulations and number of things we had to learn. The progress from day one has been significant, although there are still going to be things to understand and solve at the start of the season. We go into the first half of the year with lower expectations than 2025 knowing that we'll be starting slightly on the back foot. However, I'm really looking forward to getting started and focusing on improving the cars through the year to become more competitive. Bring on Melbourne! Alex Albon: It's been a relatively smooth test here in Bahrain. We got some good mileage under our belts and tested everything we wanted to get out of the car, so I'm feeling more ready for Melbourne. There's still a lot we need to understand and plenty of performance left on the table that we need to extract, but I'm glad the tests went to plan. It's now all about maximising the next few days to prepare for the first race of the year! THIS WEEK'S INTERVIEW WITH MIKI MONRAS... Miki Monrás on battling Bottas and Ricciardo in the late 2000s and the rising cost of junior racing In the late 2000s, Miki Monrás was one of Spain's brightest prospects on the junior single-seater ladder, trading blows with the likes of Daniel Ricciardo, Valtteri Bottas and António Félix da Costa in Formula Renault and GP3. But while his rivals pushed on towards F1 or careers in GTs, the Spaniard's single-seater journey came to an abrupt halt in 2011. Feeder Series caught up with Monrás to reflect on the times he rubbed shoulders with greatness, the challenges of racing in the post–financial crisis era, and life beyond motorsport. By Anabelle Bremner Back in the noughties, the path from karting to Formula 1 looked nothing like it does today. There was no standardised Formula 4, no carefully managed ladder – just a patchwork of championships that rewarded those brave enough, and wealthy enough, to dive straight in. Eurocup Formula Renault 2.0 was as deep as it got: 40-car grids stacked with future stars, the proving ground where Pierre Gasly, Nyck de Vries and Lando Norris would come to cut their teeth. But before all of them, it was Monrás in the thick of it. He made his single-seater debut in late 2007, the result of years spent chasing speed. His first taste of racing, in fact, came on two wheels – on a motocross bike, inspired by his father, who had raced professionally in Spain and Europe. At the age of eight, Monrás joined a motocross camp, and it wasn't long before karting came calling. “After the first race, I really enjoyed it,” he recalls. “I remember it was Christmastime and I asked for a motocross scooter and for a go-kart. So I finally got the go-kart, and that's the way I started. Then I started racing in Catalonia, and I just moved through Spain and Europe and all the world championships until formula.” Single-seater racing, however, would prove a unique beast. Shortly before turning 16, Monrás moved straight from karting into Formula Renault 2.0, in which the competition was fierce. “Normally at that age you'd go before to a category not straight to 2.0,” he said. “My first year I was racing with Bottas, I was racing with Ricciardo, I was racing with [Andrea] Caldarelli – really good drivers.… I was racing against people that were already racing for two years in single-seaters. That was a big difference.”His first Eurocup campaign, in 2008, proved a challenging one. He was scoreless for his first five rounds with the Hitech Junior Team (no relation to the current Hitech) before a switch to SG Formula brought him six points in the final two rounds. Valtteri Bottas, then of Motopark Academy, went on to claim that year's title after a close fight involving Ricciardo, Caldarelli and Roberto Merhi. The next year brought Monrás a decidedly better season and three podiums with SG Formula, owned by Mercedes Junior Team advisor Stéphane Guerin. He wound up fifth overall in a season dominated by a fierce three-way fight between Félix da Costa, Jean-Éric Vergne and Albert Costa – the last of whom ultimately took the title. Racing against so much talent at such a young age left Monrás with plenty of perspective on what might have been. “Ricciardo was my teammate. Jean-Éric Vergne was my teammate. I raced with Da Costa, Bottas, with Magnussen, so many people that have been racing each other and winning races,” he said. “[I] think if I changed something at that point, maybe I would be in Formula 1, but who knows. Maybe yes, maybe no. “But at that time, it was really difficult times because it was 2010, '11, '12, where there was also a big crisis in the world, especially in Europe. It was really difficult for Spanish drivers to get the sponsors and the money to race.” The financial squeeze triggered by the 2008 global financial crisis left Monrás and many of his peers in a precarious position. Several teams, such as SG Formula, shut their doors in the wake of the crisis amidst an already shifting landscape in junior racing. “It's been changing a lot from that time until now. When I was racing Eurocup 2.0, one time we were like 48 drivers, I remember. 2008 at Spa. It was a massive level and so many drivers wanted to go in,” he said. “Eurocup was really high level, I would say maybe [comparable] to Formula 4 about the car and the lap times. “Motorsport has changed a lot in the last few years. It's more expensive. At that time, Eurocup was also expensive, but I think Formula 4 is around €700,000 more or less, maybe more now. It's quite expensive. Back then, I think Eurocup was around €300,000 or €250,000, so there was a massive difference. A lot more people could race at that time.” After two and a half years competing in various Formula Renault series, Monrás stepped up to GP3 in 2010. The inaugural season, won by eventual F1 driver Esteban Gutiérrez, came with another steep learning curve. Monrás managed two podiums and a 10th-place finish in the standings, but the step up exposed the limits of what talent alone could achieve in a field packed with hungry, well-backed drivers. “When I raced GP3, that was the first year of the championship, so it was a new championship for all of the teams. I also raced with Arden, which was a new team in the category, so it made it a bit difficult,” he said. “During testing, I remember I was flying in GP3, and then suddenly in some races there was such a huge difference with some other cars and drivers. It was difficult sometimes. … I think this is always present in motorsport in all categories. You will find some kind of differences within cars and teams. It just will always be there.” Challenging as it was, that season had its highs for Monrás. A recovery drive in Spa's characteristic rain remains a fond memory for the Spaniard. “I had a really bad qualifying because there were some yellow flags,” he explained. “Because there were 30 cars, it was easy to find yellow flags if you're waiting for the last minutes in qualifying. I finished [ninth in] race one, and in race two it started raining really heavily after five laps. I went from P10 to P3, nearly fighting for the win in the last lap against Rossi and Tambay. That was a really good race.” After a season in GP3, Monrás moved up a rung on the ladder to Formula Two. At the time, the feeder series landscape was fragmented. GP2 and Formula Renault 3.5 offered established paths to Formula 1, while the MotorSport Vision's FIA Formula Two Championship, which first ran in 2009, aimed to do the same with a more affordable package. “Formula Two at that point was very competitive, economically speaking,” Monrás said. “It was a lot cheaper to race in Formula Two than race in GP2 at that moment or 3.5 because it was like all one team. All the cars were one team with different engineers, and that made it low cost for the time. “A lot of drivers went to it because of that. They were racing in the best tracks, same as World Series and similar to GP2, and the car was competitive. Maybe not as competitive as GP2 or 3.5 because it was a bit slower, but it was really competitive and really fast, on the straight especially.”  “In that time, what they were saying was it was very equal. You had one engineer for three cars, you were sharing data with these three cars, and it was all under the same team. You can always find differences in motorsport. Maybe not a difference to make one car win and one car P15, but you can still always find two-tenths difference in similar cars, and two tenths, sometimes it's a lot of time,” he said. “The cars were on the same team, but each engineer was doing the set-up for his driver. The set-up I was using and maybe the set-up Bortolotti was using, he had won the championship maybe from our different set-ups. Every race, you changed engineers. Every weekend, you were rotating engineers so at the end of the season, everybody worked with everyone.” By 2012, the funding had dried up. Monrás was left sponsorless and unable to compete in Formula Two. He sampled GT racing in the Blancpain Endurance Series and tested with both Audi Sport and Atech GP, but no program materialised. From there, Monrás transitioned into driver coaching and team management – mostly with the AV Formula team owned by his manager, Adrian Vallés – and eventually “moved on” from motorsport around 2017. “I was working also with McLaren Automotive, but it was not motorsport. It was automotive, developing road cars, really competitive cars. After that I decided to stop because I wanted to follow a new career professionally, and I moved onto real estate which I have always been [involved with] because of my family, so that's why I decided to move over,” he said. “I now work in a real estate company which I own with some partners, and that's my day-to-day nowadays.” After years climbing the ladder in lockstep with some of the sport's future stars, Monrás has found a new rhythm – one that's decidedly less fast, but no less his own. Yet his career remains a reminder of the talent that defined an era: a Spaniard who went wheel to wheel with the likes of Ricciardo, Bottas, and Vergne, racing in some of the deepest junior grids of the 2000s and 2010s. In the story of that generation, Monrás may no longer be on track, but he's never far from the memory of it all.

Het laatste testwerk voorafgaand aan het Formule 1-seizoen 2026 zit erop en dus kunnen we ons opmaken voor het racen in het gloednieuwe tijdperk! Al moeten we daarvoor nog wel heel even geduld hebben, en dus is er tijd op terug te blikken op de testdagen.Max Verstappen en Red Bull sloten die dagen op het Bahrain International Circuit positief af. De motor presteerde boven verwachting en bovendien zag het tempo er goed uit. Hoe zag de concurrentie er dan uit? Ferrari oogde snel, Mercedes lijkt de zaakjes ook wel aardig voor elkaar te hebben, met McLaren als vierde team in de top. Aston Martin heeft ondertussen veruit de slechtste papieren.Tom Coronel, Ruud Dimmers en Joris Mosterdijk bespreken dat, en nog veel meer, in een kakelverse aflevering van de Formule 1-podcast van RacingNews365!Door technische problemen is de audio van Joris niet optimaal. Excuses voor het ongemak.

…ON TODAYS PROGRAM… MAX SAYS THE NEW CARS ARE ANTI-RACING, NOT FUN TO DRIVE FORMULA E ON STEROIDS!!! LCH SAYS NEW CARS SLOWER THAN GP2!! AAAHHH! AND RIDICULOUSLY COMPLICATED!! THE FANS WILL NEVER UNDERSTAND IT!!! LANCE STROLL INSISTS ASTON MARTIN 4 SECONDS SLOWER THAN LEADERS…sorry FERNANDO… ALPINE AND AUDI DISPLAY INTERESTING APPROACH TO REAR WINGS AND SIDE PODS….AND FERNANDO…THE ASTON. MARTIN CHEF COULD DRIVE THESE CARS!! THIS WEEK'S NASIR HAMEED CORNER…MORE VINTAGE BANTER BETWEEN THE HOST AND NASIR…THIS WEEKS SPECIAL GUEST: MIKA SALO AND PAUL VALLHAUG FROM NORWAY…! 2026 Bahrain Pre-Season Test - Day Three The Aston Martin Aramco Formula One™ Team has completed its first week of testing at the Bahrain International Circuit, with Lance Stroll returning to the wheel of the AMR26. Lance headed out on track at approximately 10:30, completing running across both the morning and afternoon sessions, as the team focused on aero mapping as well as low and high fuel runs. He completed a total of 72 laps during the day. Across the three days in Bahrain, the AMR26 completed a total of 206 laps between Lance and Fernando, allowing the team to gather valuable data during the opening week of testing. The drivers will return to the cockpit next week for the second phase of testing, before final preparations begin for Melbourne. Mike Krack “After completing the shakedown in Barcelona, we have now finished our first test of the new season. We ran into some issues earlier in the week, and that's exactly why we go testing - especially with new regulations. This whole package is very fresh, so it takes time to understand all the different elements and identify where we need to improve. A big thank you to the entire team for the hours worked across the three days of testing. We are realistic in knowing that there is a lot of performance still to unlock in this package, and it is important that we analyse all of our learnings ahead of next week. Williams F1 team 2026 Bahrain pre-season testing – Day 3   Alex Albon: We knew it was going to be a challenging three days getting up to speed and starting to understand the new car and regulations. The positive is that we got quite a few laps under our belt and the car seems reliable, which is never easy for the first week of testing. On my side, getting to grips with a new car has been a challenge, but I am enjoying the intricacies of it. There's a lot of improvement to be done and a lot to learn to bring a better package for the next round of testing, so it will be a busy next week of really digging in to the data.   Carlos Sainz: Overall, it's been good to test the car properly these past days and be able to do as many laps as we have done. We are still playing catch up on certain things, but doing over 210 laps has given me a much better understanding of what we can expect this year. The cars feel very different and it's going to be a challenging season, but this is nothing new and I'm up for the challenge. It's still early days to discuss performance in detail and compare ourselves to our direct competitors, but it is clear that the gap between teams is not as tight as last year, at least not for now. What is important for me is that we have identified the main areas we want to focus on in the upcoming weeks and I hope that we can improve gradually as we get closer to Melbourne. There is a lot of work ahead of us as a team so there is no time to lose. Théophile Nael leads the way on the final day of the Barcelona F3 pre-season test  Campos Racing's Théophile Nael finished with the fastest lap on the final day of the Barcelona pre-season test, completing a 1:27.525 in the morning session when times were at their quickest.  In the afternoon, it was Gerrard Xie who ended up at the top of the leaderboard with a 1:29.676 for DAMS Lucas Oil.  MORNING  Similar to Day 2, the teams started with Qualifying runs on old Hard tyres, but before the first set of laps could be completed, the Red Flags were out with James Wharton stuck in gravel between Turns 7 and 8.  However, once the PREMA Racing driver was back in the pitlane, action resumed and Patrick Heuzenroeder went fastest with a 1:29.354.  The drivers then had new tyres fitted to their cars for their next set of laps, and this time it was Noah Stromsted on top by just 0.034s to Campos Racing's Ugo Ugochukwu, with a 1:27.620.  Ugochukwu improved on his next attempt, but still wound up in second place, cutting the gap to the TRIDENT driver to just 0.020s, while teammate Théophile Nael moved up to third ahead of Freddie Slater.  With the majority of the field back in the pitlane, Nael returned to the track for more shot at a Qualifying lap and completed a 1:27.525 to go fastest by just 0.095s.  The teams then turned their attentions to long run performance, meaning that no one bettered Nael, who led the way ahead of Stromsted, Ugochukwu, Slater and Brando Badoer in the morning. AFTERNOON  Long runs kicked off the afternoon session with Van Amersfoort Racing's Enzo Deligny setting the early pace with a 1:32.430.  That time was then beaten by Rodin Motorsport's Brando Badoer as the session approached the 40-minute mark, and just before José Garfias stopped on track at Turn 6, bringing out the Red Flags.  Once the session resumed, AIX Racing went to the top of the leaderboard, with Brad Benavides' 1:31.573 putting him ahead of Fernando Barrichello by 0.115s.  Running was paused once again just as the second hour was about to start, with Slater having stopped on track at Turn 12, causing the marshals to wave the Red Flags.  Race runs resumed as the drivers looked to make the most of the track time before the test ended. However, Fionn McLaughlin then got stuck in the gravel trap at the final corner, leading to another Red Flag stoppage.    Green flags were waved with over an hour to go in the day, with long run mileage still the top priority. However, heading into the final 30 minutes, Brando Badoer and then Matteo De Palo went quickest.   The TRIDENT driver completed a 1:30.910, which was over half a second quicker than Hitech's Tim Tramnitz.  DAMS Lucas Oil then went faster with just over five minutes to go, Nicola Lacorte leading the way with a 1:29.676, over half a second faster than teammate Gerrard Xie.  There were no further improvements for the rest of the session, with Lacorte on top ahead of Xie, De Palo, Tramnitz and Badoer.  That wraps up pre-season testing with the drivers next out on track at Round 1 in Melbourne from March 6-8.  2026 FIA FORMULA 3 CHAMPIONSHIP – BARCELONA CIRCUIT, PRE-SEASON TESTING: DAY 3, MORNING SESSION |     |   DRIVER   |   LICENCE   |   TEAM   |   LAPTIME   |   LAPS   |   |

Oscar Piastri DOMINATES. Mercedes SHINE. Red Bull STRUGGLE. Yes, we're still talking about this a whole 24 hours later. In this episode of the Inside Line #F1 Podcast, Kunal Shah and Soumil Arora react to everything that went down at the Bahrain International Circuit during the fourth Grand Prix of the 2025 F1 season! The headline: Oscar Piastri delivered a flawless performance to secure his fourth career win, while Lando Norris recovered from a penalty to claim P3. But what about Max Verstappen and Red Bull? But there's always more:

Efter drygt 20 års försök lyckades McLaren till slut äntligen vinna Bahrains Grand Prix. En särskilt viktig framgång för det brittisk-registrerade teamet, som faktiskt ägs av statliga bahrainska intressen. Den som till slut gjorde det var Oscar Piastri, som genomförde en praktiskt taget perfekt helg på sin väg mot karriärens fjärde Grand Prix-triumf. Samtidigt krackelerade teamkamraten Lando Norris under den ökade pressen. Vad var det egentligen som hände, och var ställer det McLaren framöver? Vi är extra glada att få en kommentar från Dino Beganovic, som ju skrev historia i helgen när han gjorde FP1-debut för Ferrari. Hör Dinos egna tankar om F1-passet, men också om helgen i Formel 2 med en pallplats i protokollet. En god poängskörd på Bahrain International Circuit, även om det såg ut att kunna bli ännu några fler. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Stuart Codling and Filip Cleeren begin their coverage of the 2025 Bahrain Grand Prix with reaction to media day at the Bahrain International Circuit. Stuart and Filip react to the day's breaking news that Robert Reid, Deputy President for Sport within the FIA and part of President Mohammed Ben Sulayem's leadership team, resigned from his post, citing "A fundamental breakdown in governance standards" within the organisation. There's also discussion on the upcoming V10 power-unit summit with the sport's manufacturers, and some further context from Yuki Tsunoda as to why he struggled at last week's Japanese GP, and why there are fears that last week's win may have been flattering for Red Bull.

De wintertest van de Formule 1 zit er officieel op. De teams en coureurs hebben deze middag de laatste kilometers op het Bahrain International Circuit afgewerkt voor de seizoensopener in Australië. George Russell klokte de snelste tijd, vlak voor Max Verstappen. De meeste kilometers werden gemaakt door Esteban Ocon.

Alex Kalinauckas and Ben Hunt return to report from Day 2 of F1's 2025 test at the Bahrain International Circuit. In the video, Alex mentions the three teams that impressed him most, featuring McLaren's eye-catching long-run pace, Aston Martin's newfound consistency across the day, and Williams topping the lap and timing sheets via Carlos Sainz. There's also a reaction to Max Verstappen's playful response to the booing he faced at F175 Live, where Red Bull stood as a team on Day 2, and the team's lack of preparation when the rain fell on Thursday morning.  Learn more about your ad choices.

Försäsongstesterna i Bahrain rullar vidare med den andra dagen av körning på Bahrain International Circuit. Det ovanligt svala vädret höll i sig, och till och med lätt regn föll över banan vid flera tillfällen. En frusen Janne Blomqvist sammanfattar dagens händelser och konstaterar bland annat att Williams fortsätter imponera med sin fart. Lyssna på Viaplay F1-Podcast, helt utan reklam, på Podme.

De eerste F1-testdag op het Bahrain International Circuit zit erop en Red Bull Racing lijkt opnieuw bij de topteams te zitten. Max Verstappen geeft zijn eerste indruk over de RB21.

Na de tweede testdag zijn Carlos Sainz en Williams verrassend bovenaan de tijdenlijst te vinden. De Spanjaard kende een goede dag op het Bahrain International Circuit, maar wat zegt dat eigenlijk? Liam Lawson mocht de gehele donderdag namens Red Bull Racing afwerken, maar hij kreeg naast regen ook nog te maken met een technisch probleem. Volgens Helmut Marko heeft lekkage bij één van de koelers ruim veertig minuten aan rijtijd gekost. Het is niet optimaal voor Lawson gebleken in zijn voorbereiding op Australië, al overheersen de positieve geluiden bij Red Bull nog wel. Dat laatste geldt ook voor Max Verstappen, die donderdag niet reed, maar wel zijn opwachting maakte in de persconferentie. Marije Dijkstra en Ronald Vording bespreken het uitgebreid in een nieuwe aflevering van de F1-update, net als de vraag waarom slechts twee teams intermediates dan wel regenbanden mee hebben naar Bahrein.

Alex Kalinauckas and Ben Hunt report from the Bahrain International Circuit to wrap up Day 1 of testing for the 2025 Formula 1 Season. In the review, Alex and Ben talk about the ease with which McLaren has settled into the opening day as reigning Constructors Champions, including a little prank on the TV crew. Mercedes is mentioned with Kimi Antonelli's impressive first day, leading the morning session, and Red Bull with a spin for Liam Lawson, and some trips off-road for World Champion Max Verstappen. There are also positives for Isack Hadjar in the V-CARB RB, and why Ollie Bearman might be in for a tough rookie season at Haas. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

In this episode of the Inside Line F1 Podcast, Soumil has the eye on the biggest risks teams face, how testing failures impact the season, and why Lewis Hamilton's first Ferrari test is way tougher than Vettel's or Alonso's debut! Btw, no Formula 1 car suffered from reliability issues on the first day of the pre-season test, but the Bahrain International Circuit did! There was a circuit wide power outage for almost an hour. A very good day to everyone who started the day early today to watch F1 cars go round a track over and over again! But some more questions WILL be answered as the sessions begin today! ✅ McLaren's 2025 direction – Dynamic technical? ✅ Can Alpine bounce back from last year's pre-season testing failures? ✅ Do bad tests mean a doomed season? ✅ Who is rooting for the rookies? ✅ How can the teams sharpen their skills throughout the season?

John has a stroll around the pit lane during the WEC post season test at Bahrain International Circuit.

Het Formule 1-seizoen is welgeteld één race oud, op naar de volgende! Het decor is het Saoedische Djedda, daar waar we al twee zeer spectaculaire races hebben gezien. Is dat dit jaar opnieuw het geval? En welke rol speelt Max Verstappen daarin, of rijdt hij ver voor dat spektakel uit?Zeker is dat Djedda een ander circuit is dan het Bahrain International Circuit. Krijgen we daardoor verhoudingen te zien die net wat anders liggen dan tijdens de openingsrace? De tijd zal het leren, maar tot die tijd kunnen we terugvallen op de deskundige inschattingen van Tom Coronel, Ruud Dimmers en Joris Mosterdijk.En daarmee hebben we slechts nog een fractie van de inhoud aangestipt. Natuurlijk is er ook volop ruimte voor de vragen en stellingen die jullie zelf hebben ingediend. Blijf dat vooral ook doen!

With pre-season testing completed, attention soon turned to the first race of the 2023 Formula 1 season at the Bahrain International Circuit on Sunday.And while many F1 fans may have looked at the start of a new season as reason enough to be hopeful of a close championship fight, there was a depressingly familiar look to proceedings once the race settled down.Ferrari struggled with reliability, Mercedes were short on outright pace, and there was a typically dominant performance from Red Bull, who locked out the front row and then completed a comfortable 1-2 finish in the race, with Max Verstappen leading home Sergio Perez.But will Red Bull's pre-eminence in the desert set the tone for the rest of the season, or do the unique characteristics of the Bahrain International Circuit make this result an outlier?Joining Michael Butterworth to pick over the bones of the season's first race is Dieter Rencken, Editorial Director of RacingNews365.com.With Fernando Alonso finishing an impressive third for Aston Martin, where do his new team measure up this year?With McLaren suffering with poor pace and reliability, what will it take to return the papaya squad to the sharp end of the grid?And what sort of an account did F1's three rookies give of themselves in Bahrain?All this and more, on this edition of the RacingNews365.com F1 podcast!

Ted Kravitz has been in the paddock to look ahead to the season-opening Bahrain Grand Prix.With the drivers performing their media duties on Thursday, there was a different feel to the first day back at the circuit with a couple of familiar faces no longer around.Ted fills us in about Lance Stroll's injuries, discusses whether Red Bull's drivers are starting to play down their apparent advantage and explains why Alpine might be a team to look out for despite not starring at testing.Plus, listen out for some niche knowledge you can use to impress your friends about the Bahrain International Circuit's asphalt!

Inför säsongsstarten 2023 i Bahrain vill vi bjuda på en inblick i hur podden har låtit under förra säsongen hos Podme. Marcus Ericsson har inför varje race öppnat sin lilla svarta anteckningsbok med track notes, från alla banor på F1-kalendern som han själv kört på, för att ge oss en bättre förståelse för banans utmaningar. Denna vecka tar Marcus med oss till stekheta Bahrain International Circuit i Sakhir.

Stuart Codling watched the cars trackside at the Bahrain International Circuit today and joins Martyn Lee to discuss everything we learned from Formula 1's only pre-season test.

De tweede dag van de Formule 1-wintertest op Bahrain International Circuit zit erop. Zhou Guanyu heeft de middagsessie als snelste afgesloten. De Chinese coureur zette een rondetijd neer van 1:31.610 in zijn gloednieuwe Alfa Romeo C43. Hij was vier honderdsten van een seconde sneller dan Max Verstappen.

Our team are at the Bahrain International Circuit to watch trackside as F1's 2023 challengers leave the garage for the first time. Autosport's Alex Kalinauckas and GP Racing Editor Stuart Codling join Martyn Lee to analyse the early running. We saw Red Bull's RB19 unveiled in the pit lane before Max Verstappen put in 157 laps to top the time sheets (not that today's time mean a huge amount!). In fact we saw just one Red Flag when the Aston Martin stopped on track with an electrical issue.

De eerste testdag van de F1-wintertest zit erop. Max Verstappen was in de ochtend al het snelst van iedereen op Bahrain International Circuit en in de middag verbeterde hij zijn tijd om bovenaan te blijven staan. Naast Red Bull Racing legden ook Williams en Mercedes veel kilometers af. Lando Norris moest een deel van de sessie doorbrengen in de McLaren-garage.

We chat with Motorsport journalist Sean Parker as we review a pulsating Bahrain Grand Prix. With lights out at the Bahrain International Circuit, the first race of the calendar year saw both the Ferrari drivers dominate on Sunday, in what was a very exciting race.  Charles Leclerc won the Grand Prix followed by his teammate Carlos Sainz taking up the second podium and Lewis Hamilton getting a lucky third place after Formula 1 champion Max Verstappen and teammate Sergio Perez of Red Bull had major fuel pump issues that cost them dearly. We discuss every single talking point from the weekend.

GPFans editor-in-chief Ian Parkes, deputy editor Sam Hall and F1 correspondent Ewan Gale join Oliver Wilson for this week's roundtable. Charles Leclerc got his world championship campaign off to the best of starts with victory in the Bahrain Grand Prix as Ferrari scored a stunning one-two. Lewis Hamilton joined the Scuderia on the podium as Max Verstappen's title defence faltered. Listen to the takes of the GPFans Global team as they digest all the action from the Bahrain International Circuit.

From the Bahrain International Circuit, Luke Smith (F1 Reporter) is joined by Alex Kalinauckas (Grand Prix Editor, Autosport) to analyse a thrilling qualifying session. It's still far too early to say if the established order from the hybrid era is ancient history, but there's certainly a different look to the starting grid for tomorrow's race. Shortly before Qualifying, and 97 days after the controversy of Abu Dhabi, the FIA released their report into how those final laps played out. The full report can be seen on autosport.com, but our team thinks there are still some questions which need answered.

The countdown is on until a new breed of Formula 1 cars hit the track for the Bahrain Grand Prix.  Just days after the final test, the teams are ready to do battle for real at the Bahrain International Circuit. Alex Kalinauckas (Grand Prix Editor, Autosport) and Luke Smith (F1 Reporter, Autosport) stayed out in Bahrain and will be back in the paddock this weekend.  They're joined by our latest recruit to the Autosport F1 team, Matt Kew. We get to know Matt on the podcast today and find out his favourite motorsport moments. With time over the last few days to crunch the numbers, we discuss why Mercedes might genuinely be struggling to dial in the setup of their new car, and not just talking themselves down (here's looking at you 2019, 2020 and 2021!). We discuss why Red Bull and Ferrari were looking strong based on what we witnessed trackside in Barcelona and Bahrain.  The predictable midfield battle, as we have come to know it, looks ripe for a shakeup. The difference from the top to bottom of the timesheets is likely closer than we've seen in recent years, as demonstrated by moments of stronger pace from Haas and Williams during testing. Finally, we discuss some of the news of the week, including today's FIA clarification of the Safety Car rule, and that "ALL CARS that have been lapped by the leader will be required to pass the cars on the lead lap" (our caps) rather than "any cars", the source of so much Abu Dhabi controversy.

Red Bull vs. Mercedes: Das Duell der beiden Spitzenteams spitzt sich vor dem Start der Formel 1-Saison 2021 immer weiter zu! Red Bull Motorsportdirektor Dr. Helmut Marko steht uns Rede und Antwort zur Wettbewerbsfähigkeit der beiden Teams. Nach den Testfahrten in Bahrain hat Red Bull seine Position unter den Favoriten auf einen Auftaktsieg stark gefestigt. Dr. Marko bezeichnet die drei Testtage als den besten Test in der Teamgeschichte. Ganz anders bei Mercedes: Die Silberpfeile erlebten auf dem Bahrain International Circuit wohl den schwierigsten Test der vergangenen sieben Jahre.  Hat Mercedes nur geblufft? Legen sie bis zum Saisonstart noch einmal gehörig an Performance und neuen Teilen nach? Oder haben sie tatsächlich Schwierigkeiten mit der Zuverlässigkeit und der Performance des neuen F1 W12? Zudem sprachen wir mit Dr. Marko über das Kräfteverhältnis im weiteren Feld, zum Beispiel bei Ferrari und McLaren, sowie die Zukunft des Rennstalls mit Red Bull Powertrains - der neuen Motorenschmiede in Milton Keynes. Kommt hier vielleicht ein alter Mercedes-Mann ins Spiel?

The Bahrain Grand Prix was red-flagged on the first lap after a horrific moment that saw Romain Grosjean's Haas engulfed in a fireball after colliding with the barriers.Grosjean climbed out of the car through the flames and was dragged away from the fire by marshals before being helicoptered to hospital with a suspected broken rib and burns.It was a terrifying moment after the start with all the drivers bunched up.But with some going wide, it appeared as though Grosjean tried to cut through the pack into a gap but came in contact with the wheel of AlphaTauri's Daniil Kvyat, driving straight into the barrier at turn 3, a corner which is taken at approximately 140m/h (225km/h).The car was sliced in half by the barrier with the tail sitting separate from the fire.Haas team principal Gunther Steiner was quick to thank the rescue crews for their reactions, calling the crash "scary".Romain Grosjean's car explodes in fireball after hitting the wall.

"I don't want to make a medical comment here but he had light burns on his hands and ankles. He's obviously shaken and for sure is going through all the checks you need to do after an impact like this but he's conscious and he's fine."If you see where the barrier has been torn down, it's unbelievable. I think we were lucky by being unlucky. I prefer that luck than racing luck."Sky Sports' David Croft immediately called the crash "horrendous" as the race was immediately red flagged.Martin Brundle added that it was "so unusual to see a Formula One car with all the safety cells and fuel and what have you immediately go into flames"."The driver is well protected with fire proof clothing, helmet, gloves, boots and everything but that just went straight up," he said.But Brundle said he couldn't remember a time he had seen a car explode like that.Haas driver Romain Grosjean of France is helped by medical staff after he crashed his car during the Formula One race in Bahrain International Circuit. Photo / APGrosjean was taken by the medical staff to an ambulance before being taken by helicopter to hospital.Marshals were lucky as well with two tyres flying off the car, before they rushed to Grosjean's aid."That's a miracle," Brundle said, while Croft added "I've not seen a car like that in my time commentating in Formula One".Brundle continued: "It's pierced the barrier like a tin opener and that's just levered the car apart such was the energy. But full respect to the FIA, and the teams and the designers and all the stress analysis for constantly trying to improve the structural integrity of the survival cell or the chassis. That's just saved his life because that is just extraordinary.""The fact that Romain Grosjean has survived that crash is not only miraculous but quite frankly marvellous as well," Croft said. "That is horrendous."The pit crews were left stunned with many looking on in disbelief.Former F1 champion Damon Hill said it's been a long time since Formula One has seen a crash like that.A part of Haas driver Romain Grosjean's car is taken after the crash at the Formula One Bahrain Grand Prix in Sakhir, Bahrain. Photo / AP"Like everyone, absolute shock and horror," he said of his first reactions to the incident."I was just thinking the drivers going down the straight would have looked in their mirrors and seen the flames. I think it's so long since we've seen anything like that. It's such an unusual sight to see a fuel fire and then to see how he actually impacted the barriers and gone straight through, we can't jump to any conclusions at all but it looks like the halo has saved Romain from worse injury there."The halo is a titanium curved bar structure that sits above the drivers' head to protect them from flying debris and were only made mandatory in 2018...

In the hybrid-turbo era, Mercedes have scored 12 podiums in 6 races - that's a 100% podium record at the Bahrain Grand Prix. The Bahrain International Circuit has seen Mercedes dominate like no other. Strangely though, neither of the Mercedes drivers have scored a pole position here in the last two years. But we expect that to change this weekend, don't we? Also in this Pits to Podium (https://bit.ly/pitstopodium) segment, can Lewis Hamilton win 13 races in the 2020 Formula 1 season? He seems to be in a class of his own. Can Valtteri Bottas finally convert a pole position into a win? He's failed to do so the last 3 times he had pole. Red Bull Racing haven't finished in the top-3 in Bahrain for 7 years. Can Max Verstappen change that? Or will Racing Point-Sergio Perez be able to challenge for the podium? Join Soumil and Kunal as they look forward to the 2020 Bahrain Grand Prix. The 2020 Formula 1 World Championships may have settled but the fight for P3 in the Constructors' and P4 in the Drivers' Championship will keep us entertained. How much further can Ferrari climb? Will Carlos Sainz Jr. finally break his Bahrain points-scoring duck? Will Turn 9 ruin a few qualifying attempts and impact race strategy? Tune in!

Is there a world where the Porsche Sport Response button makes any sense? Sami certainly thinks so after driving the 2019 Porsche Panamera GTS at the Bahrain International Circuit, but Benjamin just can't wrap his mind around it. Fortunately, the 2019 Mazda Miata's new engine - which Benjamin had the chance to sample for a week - more than makes up for P-car confusion. Sami also relates his off-road adventure through the Valley of Fire in the Jeep Wrangler and Jeep Grand Cherokee Trailhawk, before the pair wrap up this stealth 100th episode with a brief summary of what was weird at SEMA.

Mike is hungover (again). Nadav is grumpy (again). Thomas is jetlagged but still has enough energy to tell the guys about his trip to Bahrain where he drove the new Porsche Panamera GTS around the Bahrain International Circuit.
