No plans to bring Formula 1 GP back to Malaysia, sports minister says (Reuters)<\/a><\/p>\n ‘Yeoh said the event would require a commitment of around 300 million ringgit ($71.09 million) annually for between three to five years, an amount that is more than double the government’s development costs for 20 national sports programmes.’<\/p>\n F1 sues Las Vegas gift shops over alleged counterfeit merchandise (Fox 5 Vegas)<\/a><\/p>\n ‘The company requests a declaration of infringement and unfair competition, an injunction banning the use of Formula 1 marks, the destruction or surrender of counterfeit merchandise, damages up to $1 million, and pre- and post-judgment interest.’<\/p>\n Leclerc intervistato: ‘Non sono mai del tutto contento, neanche quando vinco’ (Autosprint – Italian)<\/a><\/p>\n ‘I see the introduction of the new technical regulations as an opportunity. I really hope it can start a new era, especially because Scuderia Ferrari hasn’t been at the top of the world championship for too long. I hope this moment comes soon, with me behind the wheel.’<\/p>\n Cadillac counts down to its F1 debut with lessons from NASA and the \u2018inverse Ted Lasso\u2019 (Associated Press)<\/a><\/p>\n ‘There are ‘three or four’ names on Cadillac\u2019s shortlist halfway through the 2025 season and Lowdon says Cadillac has more leverage in contract discussions than usual. ‘Because we\u2019re out of sync with the other teams, we\u2019re not under the same time pressure,’ Lowdon said. ‘No driver is sitting there saying, ‘Oh yeah, Aston Martin are going to sign me next week,’ if you don\u2019t sign them.’<\/p>\n Harvey exclusive: Fox move, IndyCar regrets and unfinished business (Dive Bomb)<\/a><\/p>\n ‘We were on a good path and ultimately I just made the wrong decision to go to Rahal at the time that I did. That\u2019s been difficult to recover from, because when it doesn\u2019t go well, it\u2019s hard to then get into a good seat and then you\u2019re not doing a full season again. It\u2019s just very hard.’<\/p>\n RaceFans always endeavours to credit original sources. Want to share a relevant motorsport link with us?
