Hamilton: Media negativity has hurt Ferrari F1 squad

Lewis Hamilton says media criticism has taken a toll on the members of Ferrari’s Formula 1 team, amid a tough season in Maranello.

Ferrari has ended up not winning a single race in 2025 – which is unlikely to ... Keep reading from Autosport.com - All - Stories https://ift.tt/Q6wN0Gi via IFTTT

How Mostert and WAU reinvented the Supercars wheel

The maiden Supercars season to feature a Finals system over-delivered on one thing it was expected to provide: a lot of talking points. Even as Chaz Mostert and the Walkinshaw Andretti United Ford team celebrated their drivers’ title victory in Adelaide, debate was raging about whether it was a fair result from a flawed system. How Mostert and WAU won revealed something that few might have ... Keep reading from Autosport.com - All - Stories https://ift.tt/W6OPIfp via IFTTT

Why Marko isn't the sole culprit in the Antonelli abuse storm

Let’s start with the clearest point: anyone who takes part in a harassment campaign is directly responsible for it. Whether it’s an anonymous, barely followed social media account or a public figure with thousands of readers, nobody is entitled to pour out crude, idiotic hatred at someone else. There is certainly no justification for such behaviour. With that premise established, we can ... Keep reading from Autosport.com - All - Stories https://ift.tt/DQIxgTJ via IFTTT

Why KTM would be wise to prepare for a future without Acosta

In any deteriorated relationship, there may come a point of no return where a breakup – if handled well – is the least traumatic solution for both sides. That is when mourning sets in: the period during which the wound heals and, once completed, both parties can face the future with clarity. Normally applied to romantic couples, but the concept also applies to professional bonds, like the ... Keep reading from Autosport.com - All - Stories https://ift.tt/3cGMwq6 via IFTTT
