Monaco EPrix (ITV)
Lando Norris: “I was planning to do a bit of driving in a Formula E car at some point. I’ve spoken to Jake (Dennis) and a few of the other guys who’ve driven here.”
Coulthard: Formula E’s ‘Gen4’ will redefine what a racing car can be
“Once you’re through an apex you realise the car can take everything you throw at it. It’s just not normal. It’s redefining what a race car can be. I’ve driven a lot of cars over the years – I have an understanding with what all-wheel drive could feel like but a car under 1000kg with 800+bhp in old money, that’s an impressive getaway.”
IndyCar officiating announces ‘500’ post-qualifying technical violations and penalties
“Both (Caio Collet and Jack Harvey) have had their qualifying results disallowed and have been re-ordered to the rear of the field in order of entrant points.”
‘Communication breakdown’ to blame for Collet’s Indy qualifying infringement
Nürburgring post-race notebook
“The Nuerburgring reported a new event attendance record of 352,000 people, surpassing the previous record of 280,000 spectators that was achieved last year and marking a 70 percent increase in attendance from the 2023 event. A large part of the sold-out crowd could be attributed to Verstappen’s participation.”
