Este fin de semana promete ser un festín para los entusiastas del automovilismo, con dos eventos de primer nivel que captarán la atención mundial: el Gran Premio de Canadá de Fórmula 1 y la legendaria carrera de resistencia, las 24 Horas de Le Mans. Tras la reciente e intensa acción del Rally de Italia-Cerdeña, con el Podcast Técnica Fórmula 1 nos preparamos para una de las mejores carreras de la temporada en la Indycar: Bommarito. Análisis del Rally de Cerdeña. En el Rally de Cerdeña, Sébastien Ogier volvió a demostrar su maestría al conseguir una nueva victoria, la segunda consecutiva este año y la quinta en su palmarés en esta exigente prueba. El rally fue "tremendamente duro”, como suele ser habitual, pero también espectacular, como es usual, y se caracterizó por sus habituales cambios de guion, lo que añade un elemento impredecible y emocionante a la competición. Los resultados de la prueba, del super-domingo y de la Power Stage nos dejan claro que el campeonato este año, lejos de lo que pueda parecer, está muy reñido. Rovanperä sigue a la caza y captura del líder del Campeonato, su compañero Evans. Ogier está en un excelente momento de forma y los Hyundai, sobre todo Tänak, no se quedan atrás en competitividad - aunque este fin de semana brilló también, con luz propia, Fourmaux, a pesar de que los resultados lo oculten. Situación poco habitual en la Indycar. En la NTT IndyCar Series, la temporada 2025 ha sorprendido a muchos en el paddock debido a un dominio inusual y concentrado. Alex Palou de Chip Ganassi Racing y Kyle Kirkwood de Andretti Global han combinado sus esfuerzos para ganar cada una de las siete primeras carreras de la temporada. Desde que A.J. Foyt ganó las siete primeras carreras de la temporada de 1964 (hace 61 años), solo una temporada ha presentado una racha similar con tan pocos pilotos dominantes. En 2006, Sebastien Bourdais ganó las primeras cuatro carreras de la temporada de la Champ Car World Series, y AJ Allmendinger se llevó las tres siguientes. En términos de dominio de dos hombres, esta es la única comparación en el último medio siglo con lo que estamos presenciando este año. Afortunadamente, la era moderna de este deporte se ha caracterizado por una paridad excepcional. Desde 2008, solo en la temporada de 2009 no hubo al menos cuatro pilotos ganadores en las siete primeras carreras. Es más, en tres ocasiones, incluyendo la más reciente en 2021, la IndyCar tuvo siete ganadores diferentes en esas siete primeras carreras, con nombres como Palou, Colton Herta, Scott Dixon, Pato O'Ward, Rinus VeeKay, Helio Castroneves y Marcus Ericsson subiendo a lo más alto del podio. La paridad de esta temporada se manifiesta en la diversidad de pilotos que han terminado en la segunda posición, con seis pilotos diferentes ocupando ese puesto. Palou es uno de ellos, lo que en parte explica por qué tiene una ventaja de 90 puntos sobre O'Ward de Arrow McLaren, y de 102 sobre Kirkwood. Han pasado dos décadas desde que un piloto tenía una ventaja tan considerable en este punto de la temporada, y eso, unido a la paridad de resultados en la segunda posición, nos da idea de la excelencia de este piloto. La carrera de este fin de semana es la Bommarito Automotive Group 500, circuito situado a pocos kilómetros al este de St. Louis, en la ciudad de Madison (Illinois). Se disputará bajo los focos y estaremos esperando ver qué nos ofrece, después el desastre de Detroit, Alex Palou.

Detroit Grand Prix är ett av de mest kaotiska Indycar-racen på kalendern – och i år var inget undantag. Den här gången hann vi med fem gulflaggssituationer och en rödflagg innan röken hade lagt sig (bokstavligen) över den tighta stadsbanan i Michigan. Allra mest dramatiskt blev det kanske för vår egen Felix Rosenqvist som var inblandad i en hård smäll 17 varv från mål. Lyckligtvis klarade han sig undan allvarligare skador. Marcus Ericsson hoppades slå tillbaka från besvikelsen i Indy 500, men hade ännu en tung helg på en bana där Andretti-bilarna annars briljerade. Teamkamraten Kyle Kirkwood körde hem sin andra seger för säsongen och tog revansch efter debaclet på Indy, medan Colton Herta blev trea. Inte alls bra för Marcus som hade behövt maximera potentialen i Detroit.Varmt välkommen till veckans Indycar-avsnitt. Letar du efter Formel 1-snack från Barcelona hittar du det i det föregående avsnittet i spellistan. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Let's jump right into our Quick Hits! First up, that F1 movie is hitting theaters on June 27th. Get ready, because due to insane demand, Warner Bros. and IMAX are actually expanding the Fan-First Premiere Screenings of Apple Original Film F1 to 400 IMAX locations worldwide. And guess what? We've got one right here in Coquitlam! Shifting gears to the Spanish Grand Prix in Barcelona, it's wild to think that since 2016, only two drivers have taken the win there: Max Verstappen in 2016, 2022, 2023, and 2024, and Lewis Hamilton in 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020, and 2021. Also, make sure to check out F1: The Academy when it drops on Netflix on May 28th. Fun fact: the last McLaren driver to win in Monaco was Lewis Hamilton back in 2008, the very year he became champion! Huge congrats are also in order for Spaniard Alex Palou for his Indy 500 win over Marcus Ericsson. That was his first-ever oval win, and he's been on fire, winning 5 out of 6 races and leading the championship by a whopping 108 points! Now, about Imola's future on the calendar... it's a bit up in the air with Madrid joining next year. Imola's contract is up, and there's talk about whether they'll get an extra year after missing 2023 due to flooding. Word on the street is F1 asked for a cool 60 million Euros to keep the race going. Just a heads-up, Barcelona's contract wraps up after 2026. On the partnership front, we've got some new big names! Pepsi has officially joined as an Official Partner of F1, with Sting Energy stepping in as the official Energy Drink, and Gatorade becoming the Official Partner of F1 Sprint. Moving onto a quick recap of the Monaco Grand Prix. If you want all the details, you can find full analysis on Wikipedia and Motorsport.com. Stefano Domenicali has actually come out defending F1's Monaco GP tire change rule after some drivers voiced their criticism. And even though some folks called it a "garbage race," the ABC/ESPN ratings in the US were absolutely massive, pulling in the largest live audience ever for a Monaco Grand Prix telecast! Our main topic for discussion today is a big one: How can we actually fix the Monaco Grand Prix? We'll be diving into some feasible ways to create more overtaking opportunities and exploring proposed changes to the circuit itself to try and save the Grand Prix. In other F1 news, we'll be asking the question: Does Lewis Hamilton need a new engineer? We'll also share the full radio exchange from Hamilton's pretty frustrating Monaco GP. Mattia Binotto has admitted that Audi "won't have the best power unit" in 2026. Plus, Adrian Newey suggests Max Verstappen will "always chase the fastest car" amidst all the speculation about a switch to Aston Martin. And finally, we'll be speculating if big things are coming for Ferrari with a new wing! And to wrap things up, a quick Spanish GP Preview! Fernando Alonso has become an ambassador for the Circuit de Barcelona, and he's pretty confident it'll be around for the next 3-4 decades, even if there are two Spanish GPs in 2026, as he sees the others as temporary. Also, F1 is reportedly clamping down on flexi-wings at the Spanish GP. Join the conversation! Follow us on X @ScuderiaF1Pod Subscribe to the Scuderia F1 Podcast wherever you get your podcasts.

The Greatest Spectacle in Racing is officially in the books, and our resident open wheeler Conor Daly showed moments of brilliance before bringing home a hard fought 8th place finish. He joins co-host Chase Holden to recap his race and how a vibration caused by a loss of wheel weights caused him to fade late in the running. Conor explains that his car became wrecking loose, but an early pit stop would cause him to fall out of the top-10, so he was forced to hold on for dear life and save more fuel than expected. The guys chat about the attrition during the race, the rain delays and how several contenders' days were impacted. At the end of the day, the driver of the year so far Alex Palou was able to use lapped cars to stay ahead of Marcus Ericsson, bringing home his first career oval victory on the biggest stage in auto racing.The now regarded as “third host of Speed Street” Alex Palou stops by the show during his 500-winner media tour to unpack the biggest win in his storied career. He recalls that as the race hit the halfway mark and the various strategies began to take place, he realized he was going to have a shot at winning. Alex and Conor experienced opposite balance issues due to cold temperatures and rainy conditions, and Alex explains that he was dealing with a major push that the team chased with adjustments throughout the entire event. At the end of the day, Alex implemented a strategy that he learned while chasing Helio Castroneves to the finish during the 2021 running of the race, only this time he came out on top.

Bara några timmar efter att vårt senaste avsnitt släppts slog bomben ner: Marcus Ericsson blir av med andraplatsen i Indy 500 efter att hans Andretti-bil underkänts i den tekniska efterkontrollen. Även teamkamraten Kyle Kirkwood fråntas sitt resultat, liksom Premas Callum Ilott. En stor snackis under de senaste dygnen, som rört upp mycket känslor – inte minst här hemma i Sverige. Vad är det egentligen som hänt? Vi ger vår syn på saken och resonerar kring den kritik som många riktar dels mot Andretti-teamet, men också mot Indycar som organisation just nu. Kan man lita på besiktningsprocessen; och kan man egentligen göra det i någon racingserie där ute? Vi följer också upp vårt samtal från häromdagen om vad som möjligen går att göra för att krydda Monacos GP. Förre F1-föraren Alex Wurz, som numera jobbar med bandesign, har kommit med några förslag – och Mattias passar på att dela med sig av ett helt eget!Det blir också uppsnack inför ytterligare en späckad racehelg, ännu en gång med både Indycar, Formel 1 och Formel 2 i huvudfokus. Indy-gänget lämnar IMS-ovalen bakom sig och intar gatorna i Detroit, medan Grand Prix-cirkusen slår läger i Barcelona. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Fin de semana histórico, gigantesco, inconmensurable para el automovilismo español: Álex Palou ha ganado las 500 millas de Indianápolis, una de las carreras más grandes de todo el calendario del motorsport. El Podcast Técnica Fórmula 1 no puede empezar por otro lado, es la noticia más grande, a pesar de que no haya trascendido en los medios como merecía. Estrategia, carrera y victoria memorables. La carrera del catalán fue memorable, como todas esta temporada, de una inteligencia enorme, conservando, ahorrando gasolina, pero siempre en el grupo de delante. Muy de destacar cómo hizo el penúltimo stint y cómo pasó a Ericsson y aguantó hasta el final. No tenía el coche más rápido y aún así su último stint fue impresionante, manteniendo a raya a Marcus Ericsson y aprovechándose de los doblados para tener más velocidad y más rebufo. Nos hizo sufrir toda la carrera, pero ocurrió todo como sospechaban en el Podcast Técnica Fórmula 1 y así lo habían comentado: Palou estuvo agazapado y, cuando el león saltó a la palestra, ya nadie pudo pararle. La verdad es que ha sido lo más grande, lo más vistoso y espectacular del fin de semana, pero poco ha trascendido a los medios, que se centraron en el homenaje (más que merecido) a Nadal, no haciéndose eco (o casi) de la hazaña del de Ganassi… qué poco se conoce este deporte en España y qué poco se valora una victoria tan importante como la del domingo pasado. Mónaco, en el lado opuesto de la balanza. Ese mismo domingo tuvimos también el GP de Mónaco que fue un desastre y un tostón bastante destacable. Las dos paradas no aportaron nada, entre otras cosas, porque los propios pilotos y equipos reventaron el espectáculo rodando hasta 5s más lentos que un ritmo de carrera medio normal. Después se quejarán cuando nos quiten Mónaco, pero se lo están buscando. Lo más destacado del Gran Premio de Mónaco. Al final, que parece poco importante pero realmente da una nueva perspectiva a la temporada, la victoria se la llevó Norris. Y se la llevó saliendo (y aguantando más que bien) dese la Pole. Una Pole que, hay que añadir, se la llevó marcando un nuevo récord de vuelta en Mónaco, casi nada. Esta victoria le sitúa 2º en el Campeonato a tan sólo 3 puntos de su compañero, Oscar Piastri, y demostrando que no está “tan perdido” como nos quieren hacer, sino que está muy fuerte, sobre todo en circuitos callejeros, y ha ganado en dos carreras con una alta carga emocional de cara a la lucha por el título: Australia y Mónaco. Y, aparte de destacar el aburrimiento que fue la estrategia que nos hicieron sufrir los equipos “gracias” a la normativa de las dos paradas, a destacar también - y a comentar - la sanción a Russell, por pasar intencionadamente a Albon saltándose la chicane… por fin algo que le dio vida a la carrera.

El piloto regiomontano logró subirse de último momento al podio con el 3er lugar gracias a la descalificación de Marcus Ericsson; sin embargo, la victoria sigue siendo pendiente luego de que Alex Palou conquistara esta edición.

Pacers lost Game 3, but that's what happens when you don't hit shots! Game Four will be a different story! Colts OTAs start Thursday, and we will get a glimpse at a roster with a lot of good players, and not much greatness! Alex Palou surprises Marcus Ericsson to win Indy 500! Cubs Pete Crow-Armstrong is best player in National League!

+ Monacos Grand Prix med F1 och F2Wow – vilken dramatik! Indy 500 gjorde det igen och levererade ett race som fick alla svenska racingfans att hålla andan. Marcus Ericsson gick för segern på slutvarven men betvingades till sist av omöjlige Alex Palou. Bara några sekunder där bakom såg Felix Rosenqvist till att vi fick två svenskar i topp fem i världens största racingtävling. Mattias är på plats i Indianapolis och fick en kommentar från båda två i en våg av känslor direkt efter målgång. Vi pratar om Ericssons osannolika väg tillbaka mot vinnarhålet efter ett dåligt depåstopp, den strategi som gjorde det möjligt, och förstås om den där avgörande omkörningen som till slut tog Borg-Warner Trophy till Spanien istället för Sverige. Felix berättar vad som fällde avgörandet för hans del, i ett race där han länge såg ut att ha både farten och läget att själv slåss om segern.Vi snackar också ner Monacos Grand Prix. Den omtalade tvåstoppsregeln har nu testats för första gången i furstendömet – vad säger juryn? Låt oss avslöja redan nu att vi inte är övertygade… I täten lyckades Lando Norris köra hem sin första seger i Monaco före hemmafavoriten Charles Leclerc och fortsatt mästerskapsledande Oscar Piastri.Desto tyngre gick det för Dino Beganovic på Monte Carlos gator. En helg att glömma för vårt svenska Formel 2-hopp, som inte hittade rätt på Rivieran och som avslutade med en ganska rejäl smäll in i muren. Hosted on Acast.

In the final installment of our “Business at the Brickyard” series, Inside INdiana Business with Gerry Dick wraps up the month of May from the Indianapolis Motor Speedway—where racing, culture, and commerce collide. In this episode: The Indy 500 sells out for the first time since 2016, lifting the local TV blackout. Penske Entertainment CEO Mark Miles discusses the momentum behind IndyCar and a new media partnership with Fox. Swedish driver Marcus Ericsson shares how he prepares mentally and physically for the 500. The town of Speedway honors Al Unser Sr. with a new $2 million gateway at 16th and Main. Purdue expands its motorsports engineering presence at Dallara's U.S. HQ. A look inside Winchester Speedway, one of Indiana's most historic short tracks. Indianapolis announces a new sister city: Le Mans, France—home of the 24 Hours of Le Mans endurance race. Plus: Statewide headlines from Cummins, Mammoth Solar, South Bend Airport, and Gary's new convention center.

Marcus Ericsson is the 2022 Indianapolis 500 winner. He came to the NTT INDYCAR SERIES from Formula One. Spending most of his career stateside at Chip Ganassi Racing, Ericsson scored multiple wins for the team, of course, none bigger than Indy. He joined the Andretti Global team in 2024 and in the first race at St. Pete he qualified in the Firestone Fast Six. We caught up with Ericsson at the following Acura Grand Prix of Long Beach media luncheon where he would earn a fifth place finish. He talks about what happened at St. Pete, hybrid testing, and getting back to the Speedway. A humble and friendly guy, this driver is really good on street circuits and at the Brickyard. He'll be aiming for his second win at Indy in just over a week. Enjoy!

It's Media Day at IMS, so SiriusXM had Hinch sit down and chat with a lot of the drivers. In Part 1, he was joined by Colton Herta, Alex Rossi, Felix Rosenqvist, Kyle Larson, Helio Castroneves, Marcus Ericsson, and Kyle Kirkwood.+++Off Track is part of the SiriusXM Sports Podcast Network.

Det har körts kval till den 109:e upplagan av Indy 500 – och var ska vi börja? Kvalhelgen på Indianapolis Motor Speedway är bland det mest dramatiska – och skräckinjagande – vi upplever på hela motorsportsäsongen; och den här gången var inget undantag. Raceveckas återkommande gäst Felix Rosenqvist tog sig till Fast 6 och har en av de snabbaste bilarna i fältet. Marcus Ericsson startar inte långt där bakom. I pole position återfinns en utan överdrift sensationell överraskning som troligtvis ingen hade satt sina pengar på. Flera av favoriterna har kraschat – rejält – och kontroverserna tornar upp sig över Indianapolis när toppteamet Penske återigen dragits in i en stor skandal på sin egen bakgård. Vad är det som har hänt – och varför kommer försvarande tvåfaldige vinnaren Josef Newgarden starta näst sist på söndag? Du hör allt i detta avsnitt, helt tillägnat ett ultradramatiskt kval till ”The Greatest Spectacle in Racing”. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Det har varit race i Indycar igen och den här gången är det Sonsio Grand Prix på Indianapolis GP-slinga som lagts till handlingarna. Alex Palou vann igen – ingen större överraskning – men fick i alla fall jobba lite för det när ett oväntat motstånd tog hand om ledningen i början av loppet. Där bakom blev Felix Rosenqvist bäste svensk igen som tia efter en stark comeback; men smålänningen var självkritisk efter ett eller två misstag för mycket. Marcus Ericsson tvingades bryta efter ännu en mardrömshelg. Vi utvärderar också det tillfälliga nya däckreglementet som prövades under helgen. Gav det egentligen upphov till bättre racing eller inte?På F1-fronten rådde det tävlingsstiltje i helgen, men ute på den politiska oceanen blåser det desto mer. Ett team som stått i stormens öga i flera år är Alpine. Nu har fransoserna drabbats av färskt tumult både på förarsidan och i styrelserummet. Franco Colapinto ersätter Jack Doohan men är redan själv satt under press, samtidigt som förre teamchefen Oliver Oakes nu lämnar rodret under oklara omständigheter. Ingen vet egentligen vad som sker men spekulationerna är många – för många?Välkommen till ännu ett fullmatat avsnitt av Racevecka, med fokus både på banan och utanför. Hosted on Acast.

Om Oscar Piastri är mannen för stunden just nu i Formel 1 är Alex Palou utan tvekan detsamma i Indycar. Spanjoren tog sin tredje seger på fyra race den här säsongen med en helt överlägsen körning på Barber Motorsports Park i helgen. Den redan trefaldige mästaren har öppnat upp en skräckinjagande ledning i mästerskapet och är på god väg mot titel nummer fyra. Vad är det som gör honom så bra – och var det här rent av hans bästa race i karriären? Tyngre, dessvärre, för svenskarna som fick nöja sig med 13:e (Felix Rosenqvist) respektive 20:e (Marcus Ericsson) plats i Alabama. Vi snackar också TV-produktion och försöker besvara frågan om varför Indycar-loppen just nu är så statiska. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

I vårt Indycar-avsnitt den här veckan avhandlar vi Kyle Kirkwoods seger i Grand Prix of Long Beach. Amerikanen vann för andra gången på tre år på den berömda stadsbanan, där Felix Rosenqvist såg ut att gå mot pallen innan en misskalkylering (och en dansk!) förpassade honom till en likväl finfin fjärdeplats. Vi har fått en kommentar från Felix som själv berättar vad som hände i ett frustrerande slutskede av loppet. Samtidigt firade Marcus Ericsson sin 100:e Indycar-start – GRATTIS! Dessvärre blev det inte mycket att fira efter en ny tung dag på jobbet och en 12:e plats i mål. Vi rycker av en lyssnarfråga och funderar kring varför det inte riktigt tycks vilja sig för Marcus i ännu ett race där teamkamraterna lyckades hålla ett högre tempo. Hosted on Acast.

Indycar-racet på The Thermal Club står i fokus och vi säger ”Hello Palou” efter ännu en seger för den makalöse spanjoren. Den här gången var vägen dit dock lite annorlunda i ett race med stora avstånd där McLaren länge såg ut att ta hem det. För Felix Rosenqvist blev det ett lopp av två halvor med en tung inledning men riktigt bra avslut. En fin femteplats i Kalifornien innebär att han nu avancerar i mästerskapet. Marcus Ericsson snurrade bort sig och gick miste om många värdefulla poäng under en helg då Andretti-bilarna annars var snabba. Vi kommenterar också kritiken som riktas mot den nya TV-produktionen från Fox. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
