It felt like we were short track racing on a street course this past weekend in Detroit. Conor Daly returns to Speed Street this week to join Producer Bobby in recapping the recent IndyCar Detroit Grand Prix. Despite another Alex Palou victory, we saw a lot of compelling action throughout the field, including an on-track brawl between former Penske teammates Scott McLaughlin and Will Power. There was a moment when it looked like Kyle Kirkwood had the goods to win, but an unfortunate caution played in the favor of the Palou 10-team allowing him to stretch out to victory in the late stages of the race. Seventh place finisher Louis Foster joins the show to talk about Rahal Letterman Lanigan's steady improvement this season, and how the race officials' quick decisions on yellows in Detroit had several drivers annoyed.

AND A LITTLE HISTORY ON THE MICHELIN TYRE!!  Palou Prevails Amid Chaos, Varying Tire Strategies in Detroit. DETROIT (Sunday, May 31, 2026) – Four-time NTT INDYCAR SERIES champion Alex Palou prevailed in a full-contact race filled with various tire strategies, winning the Chevrolet Detroit Grand Prix presented by Lear on Sunday for his fourth victory in eight races this season. Pole sitter Palou drove his No. 10 HRC Chip Ganassi Racing Honda to a 3.0584-second victory over the No. 27 Sam's Club Honda of Andretti Global's Kyle Kirkwood. It was the 23rd victory of Palou's career in 106 starts, a remarkable strike rate of 21.7 percent, and he has won 12 of the last 25 races (48 percent win rate) dating to the start of the 2025 season. SEE: Race Results “It feels like the first time, honestly” Palou said. “It was a tough one, a very tough one. But the team did an incredible job once again with the strategy. The pit stops were incredible. Incredible run, incredible start of the year, but it was tough.” The victory extended Palou's championship lead to 62 points over Kirkwood, more than a race's worth of margin. The Spaniard is aiming for an INDYCAR SERIES record-tying fourth straight title. Graham Rahal finished third in the No. 15 Fifth Third Bank Honda of Rahal Letterman Lanigan Racing, his third podium finish of the season. Arrow McLaren teammates Pato O'Ward and Christian Lundgaard finished fourth and fifth in the No. 5 and No. 7 Chevrolet-powered cars, respectively, at General Motors' home event. Palou led 71 of the 100 laps, but this wasn't a stroll down Easy Street. He took the lead for good on Lap 69 when Kirkwood pitted from the lead for the last time and stayed out front on restarts on Laps 72, 76, 83 and 93 after full-course yellows bunched the field. The move to the front was paved a few laps earlier when strategist Barry Wanser and Palou decided to make their final pit stop at the end of Lap 63, switching from the faster but less durable Firestone Firehawk alternate tire to the primary tire. Wanser saw a variety of jousts for position unfolding on the tight, nine-turn, 1.645-mile street circuit and wisely didn't want Palou to get caught on track under caution and lose track position. Wanser's decision proved prescient on Lap 66 when Santino Ferrucci's No. 14 Homes For Our Troops Chevrolet of AJ Foyt Racing nudged the rear of Rinus VeeKay's No. 76 Juncos Hollinger Racing Chevrolet into a spin in Turn 5. Kirkwood was leading but still had to make his final stop, which he did under yellow on Lap 69 and was forced to use a set of Firestone Firehawk alternates per INDYCAR rules that require at least two sets of the softer rubber to be used in street-circuit events. Palou rocketed away from Alexander Rossi's No. 20 Java House Chevrolet of ECR on the restart on Lap 72. Rookie Mick Schumacher and David Malukas were engaged in an intense duel for third on the restart, with Schumacher missing the corner in Turn 5 and nosing into the barriers in his No. 47 ENVE Honda of Rahal Letterman Lanigan Racing. Malukas had nowhere to go and ran wide in his No. 12 Verizon Team Penske Chevrolet, with the incident triggering another full-course caution on Lap 73. By this point, Kirkwood had worked his way back to third after his final pit stop and had to make the most of the added early grip of the alternate tire before the increased durability of Palou's primary tires prevailed in the closing laps. Kirkwood passed Rossi and then set sail for Palou, knowing this was his best chance to win. Kirkwood pulled to within two car lengths of Palou on Lap 79 and appeared to be ready to pounce for the lead when Ferrucci's car slowed in Turn 4 with a mechanical problem, triggering the fifth full-course yellow of the race on Lap 80. “We took a little bit of a gamble on tires there, being the only guy on reds (alternates) at the end,” Kirkwood said. “It nearly paid off. It was so, so close. There were two untimely yellows. “We almost covered Palou when we were on primes, which would have been phenomenal, and then we had that other yellow where I had him lined up. I was ready to make a dive on him, and, of course, (the yellow) comes out after I burned 10 seconds of overtake. From there, we just didn't really have another shot at it. I think I just used up my tires too much to make that one pass.” Palou kept the lead on the restart on Lap 83, but Kirkwood continued to push and forced Palou into a flat-spotting tire lockup on Lap 88. But Palou gathered himself and his car and started to pull away, building a lead of 1.8929 seconds by Lap 91. But there was one more restart for Palou to manage after Rossi clipped the rear of the No. 18 BMax Honda driven by Romain Grosjean of Dale Coyne Racing and sent Grosjean into the outside wall approaching Turn 3 on Lap 91. That triggered the last of six full-course yellows, but Palou pulled away from Kirkwood and the field on the Lap 93 restart and was never threatened despite the 173 on-track passes today, a high for a street circuit this season.  “Being able to be up front was key,” Palou said. “On the first stint, I started struggling and kind of put myself in a bad spot and lost two positions with Lundgaard and (Scott) McLaughlin. I lost us positions there, but the team made a great call to be safe with the yellow. It kind of worked out for us.” Fittipaldi Wins Motor City Thriller, Takes Series Lead. DETROIT (Sunday, May 31, 2026) – Enzo Fittipaldi returned his famous last name to Victory Lane in Detroit for the first time in 35 years, winning the INDY NXT by Firestone Detroit Grand Prix despite driving nearly the entire distance with a damaged front wing and nose cone. Series rookie Fittipaldi won the race, originally scheduled for 45 laps but switched to a timed event, under caution in the No. 67 HMD Motorsports car after starting seventh. It was his second victory of the season and vaulted him to the championship lead in the INDYCAR development series, seven points ahead of Nikita Johnson of Cape Motorsports Powered by ECR and eight ahead of HMD teammate Tymek Kucharczyk. SEE: Race Results The victory also was the first by the legendary Fittipaldi name in Detroit since his grandfather and two-time Indy 500 winner Emerson Fittipaldi won INDYCAR SERIES races on a different downtown street circuit in the Motor City in 1989 and 1991. “I just pushed as hard as I could,” Enzo Fittipaldi said. “I found pace. I was really, really fast. Just so happy to get the win. I love to race; I'm a racer.” Series veteran Myles Rowe finished a season-best second in the No. 99 Abel Motorsports with Force Indy machine, with rookie Kucharczyk rounding out the podium finishers in the No. 71 HMD Motorsports entry. Rookie Max Garcia tied his season-best finish by placing fourth in the No. 12 Abel Motorsports machine, with veteran Seb Murray rounding out the top five in the No. 27 Megatron car of Andretti Global. Frenzied action started from the drop of the green flag on Lap 1, as Lochie Hughes made an aggressive move into the Turn 3 hairpin with his No. 26 Andretti Global car, punting pole sitter Alessandro de Tullio into a spin from the lead in the No. 14 AJ Foyt Racing entry. Hughes received a drive-through penalty for avoidable contact. Fittipaldi nudged another car in that chain-reaction melee, which damaged the right side of his front wing and punched a large hole in his nose cone. Kucharczyk took the lead from that point, keeping it on the restart on Lap 8. Kucharczyk built a lead of 3.324 seconds over Fittipaldi by Lap 13, with Rowe climbing to third by Lap 18. Rowe dove under Fittipaldi for second on Lap 20 and started to chase down Kucharczyk. By Lap 21, Rowe pulled to within .5477 of a second of leader Kucharcyzk, slicing 1.6 seconds from the Polish driver's lead in just three laps. But the complexion of the race changed on Lap 26 when the second of four full-course yellow flags in the race were unfurled for debris on the nine-turn, 1.645-mile temporary street circuit. The restart came at the end of Lap 27, with Rowe trying to dive under Kucharczyk for the lead immediately after the green flag, in the Turn 3 hairpin. But the move forced both cars wide, leaving an opening along the inside curb for Fittipaldi. He took it, squeezing past Rowe and Kucharcyzk and never trailing thereafter. Fittipaldi stayed out front on another restart on Lap 34 after Niels Koolen nosed his No. 10 Chip Ganassi Racing machine into the barrier in Turn 8. “I got it done,” Fittipaldi said. “I knew Myles was going to go for a lunge there, and I just prepared my mid-(corner) to exit of Turn 3, and he went on the lunge on Tymek, and I was able to do the crossover and got the lead. I had the pace to stay there, and I was actually pulling away.” The decisive move was one of 141 on-track passes, including 124 for position, in the exciting race – both INDY NXT records for any circuit on which the series has competed in the Motor City. Fittipaldi expanded that gap to nearly six-tenths of a second when Andretti Global's Max Taylor also nosed into the barrier in Turn 1 in his No. 28 Susan G. Komen car with about four minutes, 20 seconds left in what had become a timed race, triggering the final caution. Taylor's car could not be cleared in time to restart the race, with the field finishing under yellow. “I was losing quite a lot of time through (Turns) 6 and 7,” Fittipaldi said of the damage to his car. “It was quite difficult. Down the straight, I could feel the air coming through my legs and I said: ‘Man, this is not good. We're definitely dragging a lot on the straight.' It was hard to keep that lead and keep up with the guys.”

La edición número 110 de las 500 Millas de Indianápolis ya forma parte de la historia del automovilismo. No solo por el espectáculo, las banderas rojas o las múltiples estrategias cruzadas, sino porque terminó con el final más ajustado jamás visto en la prueba más importante del mundo. Y eso hay que comentarlo largo y tendido en el Podcast Técnica Fórmula 1. Rosenqvist vs. Malukas. Felix Rosenqvist venció a David Malukas por apenas 23 milésimas de segundo tras un adelantamiento agónico en la última curva del Indianapolis Motor Speedway. Nunca antes una Indy 500 había terminado con una diferencia tan pequeña. La carrera fue una auténtica montaña rusa estratégica. Hubo siete banderas amarillas, varias interrupciones por accidentes y una tensión constante durante las últimas cincuenta vueltas por amenaza de lluvia. Todo ello ante más de 350.000 espectadores en un Indianapolis completamente entregado. Rosenqvist construyó su victoria a fuego lento. Aprovechó una estrategia de combustible extremadamente ajustada, supo administrar el rebufo y esperó su momento hasta la última vuelta. Cuando vio el hueco, lanzó el coche por la línea exterior de la curva cuatro y adelantó a Malukas literalmente sobre la línea de meta. El sueco no solo consiguió la victoria más importante de su carrera, sino que coronó un mes inolvidable en el plano personal tras convertirse recientemente en padre. Malukas, las imágenes más emotivas (con permiso de la NASCAR). David Malukas, devastado tras perder la carrera en los últimos metros, dejó una de las imágenes más emotivas del día. El piloto de Penske reconoció entre lágrimas haber llevado el coche “al 150%” durante toda la prueba, convencido de haber tenido el monoplaza más rápido. Por detrás, Scott McLaughlin completó el podio, mientras Pato O’Ward volvió a quedarse cerca del triunfo con otro cuarto puesto en Indianápolis. El gran derrotado del día fue Álex Palou. El español lideró 59 vueltas y dominó buena parte de la carrera, pero una estrategia desacertada de Chip Ganassi Racing durante el penúltimo stint le dejó fuera de la lucha directa por la victoria. Aun así, Palou terminó séptimo y mantiene un importante liderato en el campeonato. La polémica llegó después de la carrera, cuando INDYCAR detectó una irregularidad técnica en el alerón delantero del coche número 10. Aunque la organización concluyó que se trató de un error de montaje y no de una manipulación deliberada, Ganassi fue sancionado con una multa económica y la pérdida de cinco puntos. De Norte América a Japón, en una semana. Mientras tanto, el Mundial de Rally afronta ahora el Rally de Japón, última gran cita de asfalto del año. La prueba asiática aparece marcada por la presión sobre Ogier, el crecimiento de Hyundai y la constante evolución de pilotos como Solberg, cada vez más asentados entre la élite del campeonato. Pero después de un fin de semana como el vivido en Indianápolis, la sensación es clara: muy pocos deportes son capaces de ofrecer algo tan salvaje, imprevisible y emocionante como una Indy 500.

SUPER SAD NEWS…KYLE BUSCH GONE AT 41… THIS WEEK'S NASIR HAMEED CORNER WE HAVE: A MOMENT IN MOTORSPORTS HISTORY WITH FRANCOIS CASTAIN!… Rosenqvist Earns Epic Victory in Closest-Ever Indianapolis 500 Finish INDIANAPOLIS (Sunday, May 24, 2026) – Felix Rosenqvist capped his magical May by edging David Malukas in a last-lap drag race to the Yard of Bricks with the highest stakes, winning the 110th Indianapolis 500 presented by Gainbridge on Sunday at Indianapolis Motor Speedway in the closest finish in the century-plus history of “The Greatest Spectacle in Racing.” Rosenqvist rode the high line against the concrete wall exiting Turn 4 on Lap 200 in the No. 60 SiriusXM Honda of Meyer Shank Racing w/Curb Agajanian and powered past the No. 12 Verizon Team Penske Chevrolet of David Malukas to prevail by .0233 of a second. The previous closest finish in “500” history came in 1992, when Al Unser Jr. held off a charging Scott Goodyear by .043 of a second. SEE: Race Results “Unreal; I still don't believe it,” Rosenqvist said. “It kind of worked out the right way when I got back to third, and then I just had to flat-out lap on the high line, and it stuck,” Rosenqvist said. “It was just the coolest way you can finish and win an Indy 500.” The breathtaking race featured an event-record 70 lead changes over its 200 scintillating laps, breaking the previous mark of 68 set in 2013. With his second career NTT INDYCAR SERIES victory, Rosenqvist became the third Swedish driver to win “The Greatest Spectacle in Racing,” joining Kenny Brack (1999) and Marcus Ericsson (2022). Meyer Shank Racing also earned its second NTT INDYCAR SERIES victory – both coming in the most prestigious race in the world. Helio Castroneves captured his record-tying fourth Indianapolis 500 victory in 2021 for the Ohio-based team. The victory capped a remarkable month for Rosenqvist. He and his wife, Emille, welcomed their first child, a daughter named Stella, on May 4. “I really miss my wife and my newborn child, Stella,” Rosenqvist said. “I wish they were here with me. This whole month, becoming a dad and winning the ‘500' … We joked about it in the beginning: ‘Maybe you'll win the ‘500' and have a baby.' It's just unreal.” Scott McLaughlin finished third in the No. 3 Pennzoil Team Penske Chevrolet, as the fabled team placed two drivers in the top three but fell just short of a record-extending 21st Indy 500 victory. Pato O'Ward placed fourth in the No. 5 Arrow McLaren Chevrolet, his fifth career top-four finish in seven “500” starts without a victory. Marcus Armstrong rounded out the top five in the No. 66 Acura Honda of Meyer Shank Racing w/Curb Agajanian despite taking the green flag in the lead on a one-lap shootout for the victory after a late caution. An incredible .4360 of a second separated the top-five finishers. Rosenqvist's average speed was 162.021 mph. The one-lap dash to the checkered flag and immortality was set up when rookie Mick Schumacher brushed the SAFER Barrier in Turn 2 in his No. 47 Rahal Letterman Lanigan Honda on Lap 197. Racing resumed at the end of Lap 199, with Armstrong leading to the flag stand with the white flag in the air and one lap remaining, with Malukas in second and Rosenqvist third. Malukas powered to the lead entering Turn 1 and started to pull away on the backstretch of the 2.5-mile oval with teammates Armstrong and Rosenqvist running side by side in a joust for second. Rosenqvist, running the high line around the oval, nosed ahead of Armstrong in Turn 4 and set his sights on Malukas. With the checkered flag in the air ahead, Malukas drove his car toward the pit wall to try and break Rosenqvist's aerodynamic tow. Malukas then moved toward the center of the track, and Rosenqvist quickly swung his machine back toward the top of the racetrack, just barely avoiding contact. The two cars were side by side yards from the finish line when Rosenqvist nosed ahead and crossed the Yard of Bricks first by about a half-car length, the capacity crowd of 350,000 pulsating in delight. It was the most important of the 629 on-track passes in the race, including 567 for position. “I don't know what else we could have done,” Malukas said as he choked back tears in his pit box. “We were the fastest car that whole race. I gave it 150 percent. I mean, I almost crashed this damn car every lap, and we still ended up with a P2. “I just can't believe it. I don't know what else I can give. So close. This place, we're going to come back and bring it everything. We're going to give it 160 percent the next time.” Said Rosenqvist: “Good job to Marcus and David at the end. They raced really cleanly. It's because of drivers like that you get really good racing. Unbelievable.” McLaughlin, O'Ward and Armstrong then crossed the Yard of Bricks three-wide in the sprint for third, capping a race for the ages. The spellbinding finish was the final act of a dual-strategy drama that unfolded over the closing laps. O'Ward, Armstrong and Rosenqvist made their final pit stops on Laps 164, 165 and 166, respectively, right at the edge of the fuel window to finish the race without another stop under green-flag racing. Meanwhile, Malukas, McLaughlin and pole sitter Alex Palou in the No. 10 DHL Chip Ganassi Racing Honda were among a group of cars that were on a different sequence and had to make their final stops on Laps 175 (Malukas) and 176 (Palou and McLaughlin). Malukas took control of that chasing group, but they were more than 20 seconds behind O'Ward, Rosenqvist and Armstrong with less than 25 laps to go. Rosenqvist, with two more laps of fuel than O'Ward, was content to ride in the draft of the Mexican and save even more fuel as both lapped nearly 10 mph slower than the chasing pack to ensure they could make it to the finish. Rosenqvist finally pounced past O'Ward for the lead on Lap 185 and was headed toward Easy Street. The chasing trio of Malukas, McLaughlin and Palou appeared to be running out of laps to catch O'Ward, Rosenqvist and Armstrong, but the field was bunched on Lap 192 when rookie Caio Collet slammed the SAFER Barrier in Turn 2 in the No. 4 Combitrans Amazonia Chevrolet of A.J. Foyt Enterprises, triggering the sixth of seven caution periods in the race. Race officials immediately red-flagged the event for accident cleanup, with all cars pulling into the pits. “It was the perfect situation for us before that,” Rosenqvist said. “We kind of had everything lined up. Pato was struggling with fuel, and we were pretty rich (on fuel) to the end. I was like: ‘This is going to be great. At some point you're just going to pass him and hopefully cruise to the win.' But then in the end, everything flipped upside-down. “But you just have to reload. I was a little negative at first. I was like, ‘Of course, this happened.' But then you just had to think forward. It actually was good when I got back to third because it felt like I was hunting instead of being hunted.” Rosenqvist led the field to green flag on the Lap 196 restart after the 10-minute red flag period, with O'Ward second and Armstrong third. But Armstrong powered to the front in the four-wide restart with a bold outside move in Turn 1, with Malukas riding his aerodynamic coattails to second. But then Schumacher made contact with the SAFER Barrier to bring out the final caution on Lap 197, setting up the one-lap dash for glory. NTT P1 Award winner Palou led a race-high 59 laps but finished seventh. Adding his 12 bonus points for earning the Indy 500 pole, Palou leads the series standings by 42 points over Malukas entering the next event, the Chevrolet Detroit Grand Prix presented by Lear on Sunday, May 31 on the streets of Detroit. Kimi Antonelli First of all, massive commiserations to George. I feel very sorry for him as he was leading the race and was super strong. We were having a great battle in that first stint and very close on pace. I am sure it would have gone right until the end of the Grand Prix, and I am disappointed we didn't get the chance to continue that. It was not an easy race for us. The wind was very tricky and with the low temperatures, it was hard to get the tyres working. We had several lock-ups, particularly in the early stages, but fortunately were able to keep it on the track and get to the chequered flag first. It is of course not how we want to win but we will take it. We now get ready for the European portion of the season and six races in eight weekends leading up to shutdown. It will be an intense period, but we are looking forward to it. George Russell I am proud of my weekend, no matter that it ended in a retirement today. I took pole for the Sprint, won that race, took pole for the Grand Prix and was leading before we had the Power Unit issue that finished our race. I know there is nothing more I could have done this weekend to perform and that fills me with confidence moving forward into the rest of the season. It is of course a painful way to finish our Canadian Grand Prix weekend, but I will leave here satisfied that I did my best. Up until lap 30, I was thoroughly enjoying the race. I loved the battle with Kimi, and I am sure he did too. It was like going back to karting days where you are racing wheel-to-wheel, swapping the lead multiple times. I hope everyone enjoyed watching it as much as I enjoyed being in it. I just wish we could have continued it until the end of the Grand Prix. MAX... We made the right calls and didn't leave anything on the table! Finish Position: 3, Start Position: 6 "It's great to be back on the podium. It was a little bit of a surprise, but we made the right calls and didn't leave anything on the table. We had a very good first stint on the Soft tyre, and that gave us the gap we needed. The Medium tyre was more difficult because managing the temperatures, combined with going in and out of Virtual Safety Cars, made things more challenging. I enjoyed the last few laps battling with Lewis, and I pushed hard to take the position back. Over the last two weekends, we've been a lot closer, and there have been positive steps forward. It's also our first podium with our own powertrain, which is a great milestone for the Team, so credit to everyone for getting us here.”

In the early 1990s, long before his name would be tied to something unthinkable, Scott McLaughlin was already unraveling. Untreated childhood trauma, cognitive struggles, and severe mental illness shaped his life. Suicide attempts. Institutionalizations. Heavy medication. And yet, nothing seemed to stick. The help he received was fleeting.  A decade later, in 2002, his path crossed with Beverly Guenther, a woman who knew hardship in a very different way. Beverly had lived through devastating loss, including the death of her young child, and years of grief that followed. But she fought her way back. She found purpose in her work, her creativity, and her compassion for others. To those who knew her, she was kind, intelligent, and resilient, someone who believed in helping people, even when they were broken. “She was really turning her life around,” her brother once said. And then… she met Scott McLaughlin. Join Cam and Jen for this episode of Our True Crime Podcast, titled ‘Waiting in the Dark: The Murder of Beverly Guenther.'

Más allá de la Fórmula 1, el fin de semana del motor también tendrá su foco en Estados Unidos, donde la IndyCar disputa una nueva cita en el siempre técnico Barber Motorsports Park, en Alabama. Pero el plato fuerte del segundo programa de la semana del Podcast Técnica Fórmula 1 son las respuestas a los comentarios de los aficionados: reflexiones nada, nada despreciables. Barber, el espectáculo que esperamos. El Barber Motorsports Park, circuito permanente, de 3,7 kilómetros y 17 curvas, destaca por su fluidez y por un diseño que exige precisión constante. Con cambios de elevación de hasta 24 metros y una anchura limitada, adelantar no es sencillo, lo que convierte la estrategia y la paciencia en factores clave para el resultado final. El historial reciente deja claro quiénes han sabido dominar este trazado. Alex Palou llega como ganador en 2025, mientras que Scott McLaughlin se impuso en 2023 y 2024. También Pato O’Ward sabe lo que es ganar aquí. Todo apunta a una carrera táctica, donde los errores se pagan caros y las oportunidades son escasas. Aficionados: qué opinan y qué esperan de la temporada de F1. Pero más allá de la competición, el pulso real de este inicio de temporada lo están marcando los aficionados. Las reacciones a los programas emitidos tras las dos primeras carreras reflejan una mezcla interesante de crítica, adaptación y cierta esperanza. Muchos seguidores reconocen que el inicio de la temporada 2026 estuvo condicionado por prejuicios, especialmente tras una carrera de Australia que generó bastante rechazo. Sin embargo, el paso por China ha servido para cambiar esa percepción en parte. Al volver a ver las carreras con otro enfoque, algunos aficionados han encontrado más valor en lo que inicialmente parecía un espectáculo pobre. La conclusión general, de analistas y aficionados, es clara: esta Fórmula 1 necesita tiempo. Como ya ocurría en reglamentos anteriores, habrá carreras brillantes, otras simplemente correctas y algunas decepcionantes. Pero también existe la sensación de que, si el espectáculo no acompaña, la normativa podría ajustarse para mejorar la situación. China ha sido un primer paso en la dirección correcta. Ahora toca ver si esa evolución se mantiene en circuitos más exigentes como Suzuka. Y si no, nos conformaremos con la IndyCar (y las Nascar) que siguen ofreciendo un producto sólido, incluso en circuitos menos propicios para el espectáculo puro. Mientras tanto, los aficionados hacen lo que mejor saben: observar, analizar… y, poco a poco, adaptarse a una nueva era del automovilismo.

El Gran Premio de Australia de 2026 acaba de inaugurar la temporada de Fórmula 1, pero lejos de despejar incógnitas ha dejado un regusto amargo entre buena parte de los aficionados. Y en el Podcast Técnica Fórmula 1 toca hablar de ello: sensaciones, esperanzas y realidades tras la primera prueba del año. ¿Se confirman las sensaciones de la pretemporada? Lo que debía ser la primera gran prueba del nuevo ciclo técnico ha terminado mostrando muchas de las preocupaciones que ya se habían insinuado en la pretemporada: carreras difíciles de seguir, coches gestionando energía de forma agresiva y una sensación general de espectáculo descafeinado. Las críticas en las redes sociales no pueden ser más feroces. La clasificación ya había dado pistas de por dónde irían los tiros: George Russell se llevó la pole con autoridad para Mercedes, seguido por su compañero Kimi Antonelli, en un resultado que evidenció el buen trabajo del equipo alemán a una vuelta. Ferrari parecía cerca, pero a cierta distancia, mientras Red Bull y McLaren quedaban algo más atrás de lo esperado. La sesión dejó también momentos llamativos, como el enorme esfuerzo de los mecánicos de Mercedes para tener el coche listo antes de la Q3. En carrera, el inicio fue prometedor. Las salidas de los Ferrari fueron agresivas y los primeros compases ofrecieron algunos adelantamientos interesantes, incluidos varios intercambios de posición entre Russell y Leclerc que levantaron cierta polémica por la forma en que se producían, muchas veces más por diferencia de potencia que por maniobras puramente de piloto. Sin embargo, el desarrollo del Gran Premio pronto cayó en una dinámica marcada por las neutralizaciones y las estrategias. El abandono de Isack Hadjar en la vuelta 12 provocó el primer Virtual Safety Car, momento que aprovecharon varios equipos para detenerse. Mercedes incluso realizó una doble parada, mientras Ferrari optaba por mantenerse en pista y tratar de construir su propia estrategia. La carrera siguió ese patrón durante casi toda su evolución: un segundo VSC en la vuelta 19 por el abandono de uno de los Cadillac volvió a agitar las decisiones desde el muro, con pilotos como Lindblad, Verstappen o Bearman aprovechando para cambiar neumáticos. Ferrari, en cambio, retrasó sus paradas hasta las vueltas 26 y 29, apostando por un enfoque alternativo que finalmente no les permitió discutir seriamente la victoria. Se confirma el dominio de Mercedes. El resultado final confirmó el dominio de Mercedes en este inicio de temporada: Russell ganó el Gran Premio, seguido por Antonelli y Leclerc, mientras Hamilton terminó cuarto. Norris y Verstappen (¡que había salido desde la 20ª posición!) completaron las posiciones inmediatamente posteriores. Más atrás destacaron actuaciones como las de Bearman, Lindblad o Bortoleto dentro de la zona de puntos. Lo que oculta la carrera en Albert Park. Pero más allá de la clasificación final, el debate se centra en el tipo de carreras que está ofreciendo esta nueva Fórmula 1. La categoría presumió de haber alcanzado más de 120 adelantamientos, una cifra muy superior a la del año anterior, aunque muchos analistas consideran que ese dato oculta una realidad más compleja: adelantamientos generados por diferencias de energía o potencia más que por lucha directa en pista. A esto se suma la crisis de Aston Martin-Honda, ya plenamente visible en Melbourne. Los problemas de vibraciones del motor, la falta de repuestos y las críticas internas dentro del equipo han puesto el proyecto bajo el foco desde la primera carrera. Y tampoco Williams parece haber encontrado todavía el camino correcto. La temporada apenas ha empezado, pero el Gran Premio de Australia deja una sensación clara: te tiene que gustar mucho el Motor para seguir estas carreras. Le daremos otra oportunidad a ver si en China nos sorprenden. Mientras la Fórmula 1 genera debate sobre su nuevo rumbo técnico, la IndyCar volvió a demostrar en Phoenix por qué sigue siendo una de las categorías más espectaculares del automovilismo. Así que en el segundo episodio de la semana del Podcast Técnica Fórmula 1 toca comparar la falta de espectáculo de Australia con el grandísimo espectáculo de Phoenix. Newgarden: calma y autoridad. En el óvalo de Arizona, Josef Newgarden firmó una victoria de gran autoridad tras una carrera intensa de 250 vueltas que mantuvo la emoción prácticamente hasta el final. El piloto del Team Penske supo gestionar perfectamente las distintas fases de la carrera, combinando ritmo, estrategia y experiencia para imponerse finalmente a Kyle Kirkwood y David Malukas, que completaron el podio. La prueba estuvo marcada por numerosas luchas en pista y cambios de liderazgo, con varios pilotos alternándose al frente durante diferentes momentos de la carrera. Rasmussen da un recital de pilotaje. Entre los protagonistas también destacó Christian Rasmussen, que lideró buena parte de la prueba antes de caer en la clasificación final, y Pato O’Ward, siempre competitivo dentro del grupo delantero. La carrera confirmó además el gran momento de Penske en este inicio de temporada. El fin de semana, sin embargo, dejó una nota amarga con el abandono de Alex Palou tras un incidente en pista que lo dejó fuera de carrera muy pronto. El español, que llegaba como líder del campeonato, se vio involucrado en un contacto que terminó con su monoplaza fuera de combate, un golpe duro en términos de puntos aunque todavía con margen para reaccionar en el campeonato. Con estos resultados, Newgarden se coloca en lo más alto de la clasificación general tras dos pruebas disputadas, seguido de Kirkwood y Scott McLaughlin, mientras Palou cae a la quinta posición. Tercera carrera en 3 semanas. La IndyCar ya mira ahora hacia su próxima cita, que será especialmente singular: la nueva carrera urbana de Arlington (Texas). El trazado recorrerá el distrito deportivo de la ciudad y pasará junto a dos de sus escenarios más emblemáticos, el AT&T Stadium, sede de los Dallas Cowboys, y el Globe Life Field, estadio de los Texas Rangers. El circuito tendrá una longitud de 2,73 millas y contará con características poco habituales, como un pit lane dividido y una sección técnica en forma de herradura junto al estadio. La prueba promete ser uno de los eventos más llamativos del calendario, fruto de la colaboración entre Penske Entertainment y las organizaciones deportivas locales. Con carreras intensas, variedad estratégica y luchas constantes en pista, la IndyCar sigue ofreciendo un contraste interesante con la Fórmula 1 (que no nos da nada de eso). Y tras el espectáculo de Phoenix, el campeonato estadounidense confirma que todavía tiene mucho que decir esta temporada… y nosotros mucho que ver.

…ON TODAYS PROGRAM…   ASTON MARTIN ALREADY PONDERING... THE SEASON IS ALL BUT A WASH! WILL MERCEDES PASS A COMPRESSION TEST IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE RACE? FERRARI MUST KICK OFF THE SEASON WITH A WIN IN MELBOURNE. AND… FERNANDO COULD BE IN F1 FOR ANOTHER FOUR YEARS! THIS WEEK'S NASIR HAMEED CORNER…MORE VINTAGE BANTER BETWEEN THE HOST AND NASIR…THIS WEEKS SPECIAL GUEST:  ADRIAN ZAUGH AND F1W LISTENER BURAQ SARTAG FROM TURKEY! Champ Palou Opens Season with Dominant March to St. Pete Win  ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (Sunday, March 1, 2026) – Alex Palou picked up right where he left off in 2025, opening the 2026 NTT INDYCAR SERIES season with a dominant victory in the Firestone Grand Prix of St. Petersburg. Palou won his third consecutive and fourth overall series championship last season by a whopping 196 points, an advantage of more than three races, and he and Chip Ganassi Racing showed the same swagger on a sun-splashed Sunday in Florida. SEE: Race Results Reigning event winner Palou, from Spain, cruised to his 20th career victory in just his 99th start, driving his No. 10 DHL Chip Ganassi Racing Honda to a 12.4948-second victory over the No. 3 DEX Team Penske Chevrolet of NTT P1 Award winner Scott McLaughlin. “This team keeps on improving, keeps on making new changes, and they just keep on raising the bar,” Palou said. “It's pretty impressive. It's a long season in front of us, but what a great way to start the season.” Christian Lundgaard, who started 12th, rallied to complete the podium finishers in the No. 7 Arrow McLaren Chevrolet. Kyle Kirkwood dropped from second late in the 100-lap race to finish fourth in the No. 27 JM Bullion/Gold.com Honda fielded by Andretti Global. Pato O'Ward put two Arrow McLaren cars into the top five after finishing fifth in the team's No. 5 Chevrolet. This was the first race in which INDYCAR rules mandated the use of at least two sets of the softer Firestone Firehawk alternate tire with red sidewalls, throwing an additional strategic element into the racing mix. And, as usual, Palou and longtime strategist Barry Wanser made all the right calls. The decisive moment of the race came on Laps 36 and 37. Team Penske called leader McLaughlin to the pits at the end of Lap 35, with Marcus Ericsson assuming the lead from second in the No. 28 Delaware Life Honda. Andretti Global summoned Ericsson to the pits at the end of Lap 36, with Palou taking the top spot. But instead of calling Palou to the pits on the next lap, Wanser and Palou decided to stay out until the end of Lap 38 on their original set of alternate tires in an “overcut” strategy. It worked. Palou blended back on the 14-turn, 1.8-mile temporary street circuit in front of McLaughlin and Ericsson. Once the rest of the leaders cycled through their pit stops, Palou found himself out front by Lap 42. He would only surrender the top spot during pit stop cycles to finish the race, leading 59 of the 100 laps. There was a bit of suspense when Palou made his final pit stop at the end of Lap 67 with a 14-second lead on McLaughlin. Palou had used the required two sets of Firestone alternate tires in his first two stints and opted for the harder, but slower, Firestone primary tires for his final run to the finish. Kirkwood and McLaughlin made their final stops at the end of Laps 65 and 68, respectively, both taking the softer but faster Firestone Firehawk alternate tires. That tire choice offered a glimpse of hope that Palou could be reeled in after he took the lead on Lap 70, but Kirkwood never got closer than 5.5 seconds in his pursuit despite the more grippy tires. Palou, who started fourth, then pulled away at an astonishing rate over the closing laps to win by the largest margin in the 23 editions of this event. “Those Firestones were like everlasting,” Palou said. “They would just keep going. I had an amazing car today.” There was drama in the final 10 laps as McLaughlin and Lundgaard both took advantage of fresher tires to pass Kirkwood for the second and third positions on Lap 94. “Our Chevy was fast, but it's just a mixed bag on what tire you start on,” McLaughlin said. “Maybe we come back here again, and maybe you start on reds (alternate) and just get them out of the way. Overall, made the passes we needed to make at the right times, and I thought we maximized our day.” Dennis Hauger, who qualified an impressive third, was the top finisher among the three rookies in the race, 10th in the No. 19 Ault Block Chain Honda of Dale Coyne Racing. ASTON MARTIN ARAMCO UNVEILS LIVERY FOR 2026 F1 ACADEMY CAR AMRTC, Silverstone, 24 February 2026: The Aston Martin Aramco Formula One™ Team has officially revealed its F1 ACADEMY car livery, which will be driven by German talent Mathilda Paatz in her debut year of the all-female series.   The sleek design features the signature Aston Martin racing green and mirrors the team's elegant AMR26 livery, proudly carrying the Aston Martin Aramco identity on the F1 ACADEMY grid. Mathilda, who represents Aston Martin Aramco as a member of its Driver Academy, drove the liveried F4-spec car operated by PREMA Racing during the first official F1 ACADEMY test, which took place at Shanghai International Circuit between 11-13 February. Mathilda Paatz, F1 ACADEMY and Aston Martin Aramco Academy Driver: “Seeing the Aston Martin Aramco livery on the car for the first time was really special - it looks incredible and instantly made me feel part of the team. Driving the car for the first time during pre-season testing in Shanghai, I learned a lot. It was something new for me to adapt to, and I'm working well with the team at PREMA to become more familiar with the car. There were challenging moments across those three days, but as a team, we're pushing hard in preparation for the first race in China. By day three, I was already becoming more comfortable on track, and so I'm keen to get racing next month. I'm not setting my expectations too high, but I'm feeling confident - my goal is to do my best and have a clean weekend that I can be proud of.” Mathilda Paatz Biography Mathilda, 17, from Cologne, Germany, joined the Aston Martin Aramco Formula One™ Team Driver Academy in November 2025, and was announced as the team's F1 ACADEMY representative for the 2026 season, competing with PREMA Racing. In addition to her full-season debut with Aston Martin Aramco in F1 ACADEMY this year, which gets underway at the Shanghai International Circuit on 13-15 March, Mathilda continues to compete in the Formula Winter Series and F4 CEZ Championship, showcasing her adaptability and dedication across categories. Mathilda brings an impressive racing background. She began karting in 2019 at age ten, swiftly showing promise with third place in the 2020 ADAC Kart Masters - Mini category. In 2022, she claimed victory in the ADAC Kart Masters - Ladies Cup and finished third overall in the standings. Stepping into single-seaters, she became the first female driver supported by the ADAC Motorsport Junior program in 2024 with ADAC Formel Junior Team in F4 France. She built further momentum in 2025, securing four wins in the E4 Championship - Trophy Woman and multiple class podiums in the competitive Italian F4 Championship. Her F1 ACADEMY debut came as a Wild Card entry in Montreal in June 2025 with Hitech TGR, following a solid F4 Central European Zone (CEZ) Championship campaign where she achieved a podium (second place at the Red Bull Ring) and finished eighth overall with several top five finishes. This progression positions her as the second F4 CEZ graduate to enter F1 ACADEMY, highlighting her rise on the international stage.  Palou Unveils 110th Indianapolis 500 Ticket     INDIANAPOLIS (Tuesday, Feb. 24, 2026) – Four-time NTT INDYCAR SERIES champion Alex Palou unveiled the ticket for the 110th Indianapolis 500 presented by Gainbridge on Tuesday, Feb. 24 in Indianapolis.

Johnson Feasts on Home Cooking To Earn First Win at St. Pete   ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (Sunday, March 1, 2026) – Nikita Johnson earned his first INDY NXT by Firestone victory Sunday, winning his hometown Grand Prix of St. Petersburg after prevailing in a duel of talented teenagers. Johnson, from St. Petersburg, delivered his first victory in just his fourth career start in the INDYCAR development series. It also was the first INDY NXT victory for Cape Motorsports, which Johnson joined this offseason after a part-time foray last season in the series with HMD Motorsports. SEE: Race Results “I can't thank the boys from Cape Motorsports enough and everyone from ECR who has been helping us,” Johnson said. “It's a pretty amazing feeling to get my first win in INDY NXT and Cape's first win in INDY NXT. I can't wait to see all my friends and family.” Series rookie Johnson, 17, drove his No. 21 Cape Motorsports Powered by ECR entry to victory by .6990 of a second over pole sitter Max Taylor, 18, in the No. 28 Susan G. Komen car of Andretti Global. Rookie Tymek Kucharczyk rounded out the podium finishers in his first INDY NXT start by placing third in the No. 71 HMD Motorsports entry, 5.055 seconds behind Johnson. Andretti Global took three of the top five spots. Seb Murray placed fourth in the No. 27 Prosperity machine, while Lochie Hughes rounded out the top five in the No. 26 car. Johnson wasted no time asserting his command of this race, scheduled for 45 laps but halted on time after 55 minutes. He started second and used a bold, sweeping move to the outside of Taylor in Turn 1 at the start to grab a lead he would never relinquish. “It was pretty straight up,” Johnson said. “I reviewed some video from previous years on YouTube, the INDY NXT channel. I knew I wanted to get up front quickly, and I did just that. I went into Turn 1 and knew what he (Taylor) was going to do before he did it and just went around the outside. After that, I kept it pretty simple, tried to keep a nice gap.” Caution periods ended up being Johnson's biggest foe besides Taylor. The race was slowed by four full-course yellows, but Johnson held off Taylor on each of the restarts. Perhaps Taylor's best chance came on a restart on Lap 20. He tried the same move Johnson used to gain the lead on Lap 1, but his attempt at a sweeping, outside pass was unsuccessful. “All the restarts were pretty difficult,” Johnson said. “He (Taylor) caught on at one point, and I had throw in a little curve ball and change it up.” Taylor maintained pressure on Johnson for the entire race, never trailing by more than a second and keeping his car usually within six- or seven-tenths of the leader. But Taylor also never got close enough after restarts to mount a serious challenge to the race lead. The two teens traded blows over the closing laps. Johnson turned his quickest lap of the race on Lap 38, but Taylor countered with the speediest lap overall on Lap 39. “Good race overall, good points,” Taylor said. “Showed a lot of pace but just messed up on the start. “The restarts were very difficult to get right. Just kept trying to apply the pressure, trying different things. Probably could have had an opportunity to pass him there, but you live and you learn.”

Performance mindset coach Emma Murray returns to The Dwayne Kerrigan Podcast to break down why even highly capable people struggle under pressure - and how to fix it.Emma explains that humans are not wired to perform at their best in business, sport, or life - we're wired for survival. When pressure hits, our attention naturally drifts to fear, loss, and outcomes we can't control, pulling us out of the present moment. Through powerful examples from Formula One, golf, sales, leadership, parenting, and elite sport, Emma shows how performance collapses the moment attention leaves the task.Together, Dwayne and Emma unpack the difference between skillset and mindset, why elite performers win through attention regulation, and how “chunking down” - narrowing focus to something small, controllable, and strength-based - restores clarity, confidence, and execution.Episode Highlights:00:00 – Emma opens by explaining why humans are wired for survival, not greatness.01:00 – Dwayne introduces Emma and frames the conversation around skillset, mindset, and attention.03:30 – Emma explains why attention patterns are universal across sport, business, and life.06:00 – Golf example: how attention drifts under pressure and breaks execution.08:30 – Skillset vs mindset explained using the “boxes within boxes” analogy.11:00 – Scott McLaughlin story and consistency through mindset regulation.13:30 – Expectations, execution, and why lowering outcomes is the wrong solution.16:00 – Survival wiring: fear of loss vs fear of missing gain.18:30 – Sales leadership example and why people avoid known next steps.21:00 – Horse riding comeback story and gratitude removing danger thinking.23:30 – Freeze response explained and attention leaving the arena.26:00 – Why leaders can't fix fear with cheerleading or pressure.28:30 – Catching attention drift and recognizing A-game vs B-game signals.31:30 – Small focus strategies for golf, sales, and presentations.34:30 – Breath as the fastest way to regulate attention and mindset.38:30 – Process focus vs outcome focus and competitive advantage.41:30 – Post-execution review introduced: critique over criticism.44:30 – Bonus segment setup: “Chunking Down” as a performance tool.47:30 – Chunking down explained with leadership, sales, and riding examples.Key Takeaways:Humans are wired for survival, not peak performancePressure pulls attention away from the present momentSkillset lives inside mindset — mindset determines deliveryOutcomes and comparison destabilize performanceSmall, controllable focus creates safety and clarityBreath is the fastest way to regulate attentionElite performers anchor attention on process, not resultsPerformance improves when danger is removed from the mindQuotes:“We are not wired to be great in competition or to be great in sales or business, or even a great friend for that matter, or a great parent.
