‘Hamilton and other drivers have voiced frustrations at the need to do ever more media and marketing appearances without being paid for them. The dispute is similar to those which have happened in other sports such as golf, with the US pair Xander Schauffele and Patrick Cantlay leading a move to block Netflix\u2019s access to the team room at the 2023 Ryder Cup in Rome, as they felt players should be remunerated for their participation.’<\/p>\n
Aston Martin to have upgraded Honda engine for Zandvoort (Reuters)<\/a><\/p>\n ‘We are working hard to complete our job list to achieve bringing the new power unit to Netherlands. That is our target. I don’t think we’re going to catch up with \u200cMercedes \u2060or RBPT (Red Bull Powertrains) in one step… We need another step for the future to catch up the top competition.’<\/p>\n Statement from Chip Ganassi on Dixon (Ganassi)<\/a><\/p>\n ‘Scott Dixon has recently informed the team that he will not be returning in 2027. Scott has meant so much to CGR over the past 24 years. Together we’ve shared championships, many victories, and countless moments that have helped define this organisation. Because of everything we’ve accomplished together, and the legacy Scott has built here, we believed it was important to give him the opportunity to finish his career at Chip Ganassi Racing, and we made him a multi-year offer to do just that. We respect that he’s chosen a different path and wish him nothing but continued success. Scott will always be a special part of this team’s history, and we’re grateful for everything we’ve accomplished together.’<\/p>\n RLL makes engineering reset for Schumacher (Racer)<\/a><\/p>\n ‘Rahal Letterman Lanigan Racing has appointed Todd Malloy, its head of race engineering, as Mick Schumacher\u2019s race engineer for the remainder of the season.

There\u2019s something incredibly special about racing at home, at the track I grew up watching, in front of family, friends, and the fans who have supported me for so many years. It\u2019s been amazing to see how the event has grown. It’s not just the scale of the crowd now, but the diversity too. You see fans of all ages, and it really feels like a true family event. ‘<\/p>\n RaceFans always endeavours to credit original sources. Want to share a relevant motorsport link with us?
