FIA issue new F1 driving standards guidelines
A Formula 1 marshal at the Jeddah Corniche Circuit has been dismissed from his duties after tweeting that he hopes Lewis Hamilton “crashes like Romain in Bahrain.”
Contrary to a communication issued on February 18, Discovery Sports Events, promoter of the WTCR − FIA World Touring Ca Cup, confirms there will be no WTCR Trophy Europe awarded in 2022. It means there will not be a WTCR Trophy Europe run within the framework of the WTCR and that TCR Europe remains the only series to award a European title for the TCR category.
Recent confirmation that Circuit de Pau-Ville in France will host rounds one and two of the 2022 WTCR – FIA World Touring Car Cup revives a tradition that began in 2018 when a street track staged the opening weekend of a WTCR campaign. Circuit Moulay El Hassan in Marrakech was the setting of the first event of both the 2018 and 2019 seasons.
Alonso está satisfecho con el arranque de temporada del Alpine. Dobles puntos en Bahréin con el asturiano en Q3, y doble Q3 en Arabia Saudí con el quinto de Ocon y el séptimo de Fernando. “En Bahréin yo estaba en Q3, eso estaba bien, pero ahora vamos a un circuito más bueno y estamos todavía mejor. Eso es bueno para nosotros”, dijo el bicampeón español en Yeda tras la clasificación. Hay margen de mejora, aunque tampoco se pueden dar pasos hacia atrás: "Queda mucho camino, aprendemos algo cada vez que salimos y hay mucho potencial. Los progresos con el desarrollo pueden cambiar enormemente el rendimiento de los equipos, McLaren de una carrera a otra puede saltar varias posiciones y tenemos que estar encima de eso y, espero, desarrollarnos mejor que otros rivales".
Sergio Perez roared to a first career Formula One pole position on Saturday with a blinding lap under the floodlights in a crash-interrupted qualifying session for the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix. The Red Bull driver left his best for last as he lapped the 6.1-km long Jeddah Corniche circuit on the banks of the Red Sea in one minute 28.200 seconds. The lap, 0.025 seconds quicker than second-placed Charles Leclerc, was just enough to stop the Monegasque and team mate Carlos Sainz, who scored a Ferrari one-two in last week's Bahrain season-opener, from sweeping to a front-row lockout for the resurgent Italian team.
The bosses of Formula 1 and the local authorities managed to talk the drivers into racing at this weekend's Saudi Arabian Grand Prix, but there is a lot more work to do to convince some people in the sport that the race should be on the calendar at all.
JEDDAH: Sergio Perez claimed his first ever Formula One pole at the 215th attempt when the Mexican upstaged Red Bull teammate and world champion Max Verstappen in qualifying for the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix on Saturday (Mar 26).
