Welcome to Tuesday\u2019s edition of the RaceFans round-up.<\/p>\n
The FIA stewards\u2019 explanation for investigating Max Verstappen\u2019s<\/a> pit exit violation after the race did not satisfy Icarus:<\/p>\n What possible angles would they need to wait for the race to finish to get? Certainly there are no on board angles that will show the outside of Verstappen\u2019s tyre, so it had to be a stationary camera on the track. Why didn\u2019t they have that the entire time?<\/p>\n This \u2018after the race\u2019 nonsense is getting more stretched each year, and it always has unknown effects on the race. Would Red Bull have changed strategies of they\u2019d known during the race they had a penalty? Would their rivals? Would Hamilton have pushed harder to stay within those five seconds rather than drive safer assuming he couldn\u2019t catch anyone?<\/p>\n We\u2019ll never know any of these, because they wait until after the race to do anything. Social media and links<\/p>\n FIA boss divided on multi-team ownership, expects Horner to return to F1 (Reuters)<\/a><\/p>\n ‘As long as you are not trying to take it (the stake) because you don’t want others to take it, or also get voting power when it comes to the regulations, then maybe it’s OK. But then I do believe that owning two is not the right way, this is my personal point of view, but we are looking into that because it’s a complicated area.’<\/p>\n Why Antonelli’s surge is doubly bad news for Russell (Daily Mail – subscription required)<\/a><\/p>\n ‘Adrian Newey, universally regarded as Formula 1’s greatest designer, has suffered a bout of illness that required hospital treatment.’<\/p>\n Sunday (Audi)<\/a><\/p>\n Gabriel Bortoleto: ‘Considering I started last and finished P12, I think it was a solid result. I\u2019m really proud of the team and the work they did to get the car out there yesterday, and we\u2019ll keep going.’<\/p>\n The McLaren MCL-HY: McLaren’s 2027 FIA World Endurance Championship Hypercar and ultra-exclusive track car revealed (McLaren)<\/a><\/p>\n ‘Built to the ACO\/IMSA LMDh regulations, the MCL-HY combines lightweight carbon fibre monocoque chassis construction with exceptional balance. Power comes from a twin-turbocharged V6 race engine paired with a hybrid MGU system, delivering up to 520kW (707PS) to the driven rear axle. With a minimum weight of 1,030kg and a highly efficient power-to-weight ratio, the MCL HY has been developed to balance outright performance with endurance racing efficiency, designed to operate at the very highest level of the FIA World Endurance Championship and the demanding 24 Hours of Le Mans.’<\/p>\n Berlin EPrix round eight highlights (Formula E)<\/a><\/p>\n<\/p>\n In 30 years of broadcasting I\u2019ve never wondered what a branded microphone sock tastes like.
