Marquez wins sprint at Austrian MotoGP

Marc Marquez extended his lead at the top of the MotoGP standings when he won Saturday's Austrian Grand Prix sprint at the Red Bull Ring. It was his 12th sprint victory of the season, his sixth in succession, and it takes the Ducati rider 123 points ahead of his brother Alex Marquez with Sunday's Grand Prix still to come, followed by another nine race weekends in the 22- race season. Early leader Alex (Ducati-Gresini) was second in the 14-lap race with Pedro Acosta (KTM) completing the podium. Marc Marquez, who had never previously won at this circuit, had only been beaten once in sprints this year when his brother Alex outdid him at Silverstone and he had to bide his time to claim fraternal bragging rights once again. With five laps remaining, Alex made a slight error exiting a chicane which opened the door for his elder brother to slide through and take the lead which he held until the end.

McLaren W1 and 750S Le Mans Set for First Public Appearance in the Americas

Car lovers in the Americas will soon get their first close-up look at some of McLaren's most exciting new supercars. The McLaren W1, 750S Le Mans, and a special 'States of Endurance' Artura Spider will all be on display at the Exotics on Broadway event during Monterey Car Week on Saturday, August 16. 'Monterey Car Week is always a special time for us to connect with our community,' said Nicolas Brown, President of McLaren, The Americas. 'We're thrilled to show the McLaren W1 to fans here for the first time. It's a supercar that embodies McLaren's Formula 1 spirit. Alongside the 750S Le Mans and Artura Spider, visitors will be able to see three incredible cars that reflect our racing heritage.' McLaren W1: The Next Chapter in Performance Unveiled globally in October 2024, the McLaren W1 is the successor to the legendary McLaren F1 and P1. It's the fastest-accelerating and fastest-lapping road-legal McLaren ever built, powered by a V8 hybrid engine producing 1,275PS – more than any other McLaren to date. It's quicker than the Speedtail to 300 km/h and three seconds faster per lap than the McLaren Senna on the company's test track. 750S Le Mans: Honoring a Racing Milestone Also debuting in the Americas is the 750S Le Mans, marking 30 years since McLaren's famous 1995 victory at the 24 Hours of Le Mans. Inspired by the winning #59 F1 GTR, it comes in Le Mans Grey or McLaren Orange, and features a roof scoop, LM wheels, and a McLaren Special Operations High Downforce Kit for improved aerodynamics and track performance. States of Endurance: From Monterey to Miami The event will also kick off 'States of Endurance,' a coast-to-coast tribute to McLaren's Le Mans victory. Three road cars – an Artura Spider and two 750S models – will travel from Monterey to Miami, covering a distance similar to the 24-hour race. Each car will sport a special wrap inspired by different times of day during endurance racing: day, dawn, and night. Car enthusiasts attending Exotics on Broadway can expect to witness a rare gathering of McLaren's past, present, and future – all in one place.

Verstappen and Hamilton unhappy with ‘overcautious' rain delay at Spa

Multiple world champions Max Verstappen and Lewis Hamilton both accused race organisers of being overcautious on Sunday when the start of the Belgian Grand Prix was delayed by 80 minutes following heavy rain. Four-time world champion Verstappen said he believed that instead of suspending the race after one formation lap behind the Safety Car, Race Control should have kept the field out on the track to clear standing water. 'It wasn't even raining,' he said, referring to the decision taken at the scheduled race start time of 1500 local time (1300 GMT). 'Of course, between Turns One and Five, there was quite a bit of water. 'But if you do two or three laps behind the Safety Car, then it would have been a lot more clear -- and the rest of the track was ready to go anyway. 'It's a bit of a shame. I knew that they would be a bit more cautious because of Silverstone, but this also didn't make sense. 'Then, it's better to say 'let's wait until it's completely dry' and we'll start on slicks because this is not really wet weather racing for me.' Instead of staying out, however, the field were taken back into the pit lane to wait for more than an hour, waiting until improved weather conditions prevailed. The race then began with a rolling start after four laps behind the Safety Car. Verstappen finished off the podium for the third consecutive race as series leader Oscar Piastri led team-mate Lando Norris home in a convincing McLaren 1-2. 'Over-reacting' Ferrari's Hamilton said race organisers had over-reacted after Mercedes' Kimi Antonelli and Alpine's Isack Hadjar collided at Silverstone in poor visibility. 'We started the race a little bit too late, I would say,' he said. ''I kept shouting that 'it's ready to go it's ready to go', but they kept going round and round. 'I think they're probably over-reacting from the last race, where we asked them not to restart the race too early because the visibility was bad. 'This weekend, I think they just went too far the other way. We didn't need a rolling start.' After a disappointing Saturday when he was twice eliminated in the first part of qualifying, for the sprint race and the Grand Prix, the seven-time world champion responded with a rousing drive through the field from 18th to finish seventh.
