Sainz ruined Piastri’s push for a potential win. Even his radio calls were not happy.

Technically that’s wrong, they’re hosting the Bahrain GP.
On Thursday, all Hi-Tec Oils branding was removed without explanation from the series’ various social media platforms and website, rebranding simply as the AASA Race Series.
The Australian-owned lubricant brand had been the title sponsor of the championship since its inception in 2023, and more recently had taken on promotion duties through its Hi-Tec Oils Motorsport branch.
AASA has confirmed that promotion of the series has been brought back under the governing body’s control, while also confirming a title sponsor for the upcoming Fight in the Night event.
“AASA has made the decision to bring back the series in-house and rebrand the championship as the AASA Race Series, with a continued commitment to its competitors,” a AASA statement explained.

An absolute catastrophic mistake here.
In the final lap, Manuel Gonzalez sat up, thinking he had won the race. Except there was still one lap to compete.
He went on to finish the race… 14th.

Since Bathurst 1000 usually takes place one week after the NRL grand final, moving the GF to a new date could also affect the scheduling of the Great Race. Supercars organisers wouldn’t want both events to be held on the same day, due to police resource and transport issues.

Triple Eight have claimed a faulty Supercars-supplied part is directly responsible for “negatively” impacting champion Will Brown’s 2026 season.
In a statement posted on social media, the team reported that the No.888 Mustang has been competing with an “undersized engine airflow restrictor” all season, reportedly costing Brown nearly 1.5 tenths of a second, per lap.

: Isack Hadjar will miss the Dutch GP this weekend due to a wrist injury as F1 returns from the summer break.
Because of that, Liam Lawson (Racing Bulls) will replace Hadjar for the remainder of the weekend making his return to Red Bull.
Yuki Tsunoda (reserve driver both RB and VCARB) will also return to the grid and take Lawson’s seat.

Going to miss the staircase and turn 8. Won’t be quite the same. Feels more like a race track in the city compared to the street circuit.

Lawson/Tsunoda in for Hadjar again.
Gasly had finished the race third on the road, but two unserved in-race time penalties for pit lane speeding meant he was classified seventh.
Alpine subsequently won a right of review case to have his podium restored as it emerged F1 had incorrectly measured the distance used in calculating pit lane speed.
McLaren and Red Bull appealed on the grounds that changing the measurement after the race undermined sporting fairness.
The hearing’s outcome means Red Bull’s Isack Hadjar is credited with the third place Monaco finish.
McLaren’s Oscar Piastri regains fourth, while Racing Bulls’ Liam Lawson and Arvid Linblad also move back ahead of Gasly.
While the change in distance has been supported by teams, it still needs to go through a formal process before it is put into the 2027 sporting regulations.
This means revised regulations need to be proposed to the F1 Commission, which is made up of teams, the FIA and FOM (Formula One Management). Once approved there, it will then need ratification by the FIA’s World Motor Sport Council.
It is understood that the reduction in race distance is currently only agreed for next season because of the compromise caused by the change of power unit rules at such a late stage.
Gasly with a surprise pole in the F1 at Monza with Piastri in third. Just when I thought Oscar’s luck is turning, he gets a 3 place grid penalty for impeding. He starts in 6th.
Antonelli was the first Italian in 60 years to win a home Grand Prix.
Gasly finished in sixth place after starting on pole.
Update
Audi has issued a statement saying it will appeal a stewards’ decision regarding Yuki Tsunoda at the Italian GP, with a point at stake if an appeal is successful.
A second formation lap was called at the restart when Tsunoda appeared out of shape in his grid box at Monza, with Audi set to stand to gain if the decision is reversed.
