Sebastian Vettel mit Formel 1 comeback? (ZDF Sportstudio via TikTok – German)<\/a><\/p>\n On if returning to Formula 1 is an option for him: ”So not as a driver. I just think that, at some point, you have to admit and recognise that your time is over. But in another role – depending on exactly what that role involves – perhaps taking on one or another function in Formula 1 in the future is absolutely conceivable.”<\/p>\n FIA to bring global leaders together in Stockholm to tackle online abuse in sport (FIA)<\/a><\/p>\n ‘The F\u00e9d\u00e9ration Internationale de l’Automobile (FIA), the global governing body for motorsport and the federation for mobility organisations worldwide, has announced today that its flagship campaign, United Against Online Abuse (UAOA), will host its second global conference this September in Stockholm, Sweden. The event will bring together leading voices from the worlds of sport, politics, and social media to reaffirm their collective commitment to combatting online abuse. High-profile attendees will join forces to advance UAOA\u2019s mission of eradicating online hate and creating a safer digital environment for all. These include representatives from The Football Association (FA), F1 Presenter Natalie Pinkham, Sportradar, Arwen.AI and the Association of IOC Recognised International Sports Federations (ARISF), which represents millions of athletes.’<\/p>\n F1\u2019s 75-year legacy takes centre stage at 2025 Monterey Motorsports Reunion (Motor Sport)<\/a><\/p>\n ‘The Monterey Motorsports Reunion will throw open its gates this weekend with one of the richest collections of historic Formula 1 machinery ever assembled. As part of a celebration of Formula 1\u2019s 75th anniversary, the event will see dozens of race and title-winning F1 cars on display, and many of them back on track at Laguna Seca.’<\/p>\n This rare street legal 911 conceals a genuine F1 powerplant (Car Scoops)<\/a><\/p>\n ‘This car has been fitted with the 1.5-liter twin-turbocharged V6 that Porsche developed for the McLaren MP4\/2 and MP4\/3 and was branded as TAG, which owned a share of the British racing team at that time. It was used to power Alain Prost\u2019s car at the 1986 German Grand Prix and 1987 Hungarian and Japanese Grands Prix. During the Hungarian race, Prost finished 3rd, meaning this very engine has powered an F1 podium finisher.’<\/p>\n Feathers ruffled after Rasmussen, Daly contretemps in Portland (Racer)<\/a><\/p>\n Conor Daly: ”He (Rasmussen) was quite slow, and so I tried to pass him into Turn 7 and then, again, he drove himself off the track to make sure that I drove off the track. I’m not really sure of the point of that. It kind of seemed stupid, in my opinion.Then he was really slow down the straight, and I just went to pass him and then he just never stopped. That’s a really dangerous corner to try to do that.”<\/p>\n Academy Report: Lia secures victory at Boone Forest (Williams)<\/a><\/p>\n ‘Williams Racing Driver Academy member Lia Block swapped asphalt for gravel last weekend, making a triumphant return to rallying with victory in the L4WD class at the Boone Forest Rally. In her first rally outing in a year \u2013 and first time driving this car \u2013 Lia and co-driver Rhianon Gelsomino mastered the Kentucky stages to take class honours and an impressive P3 overall. The result also maintained the pair\u2019s perfect record together, extending their streak to seven podiums from seven rallies.’<\/p>\n Power Maxed Racing: Nothing left but our fighting spirit (BTCC)<\/a><\/p>\n ‘On Saturday, disaster struck Power Maxed Racing and the wider Power Maxed Business, with a force we could never have imagined. A fire ripped through our facilities, destroying absolutely everything \u2013 our product factory, our stock warehouse, and our race team. Yet, in true PMR fashion, we refuse to stand still. This weekend, we will still take to the grid at Knockhill with at least one car. It will be the biggest challenge in our history to have a car ready in time, but we will do it. Sleep can wait.’<\/p>\n The Road to the Grid – How Ferrari moves an F1 team around the world (Ferrari via YouTube)<\/a><\/p>\n ‘Go behind the scenes with Scuderia Ferrari to see how one of the most advanced logistics operations in sport ensures the team has everything it needs \u2014 anywhere in the world.’<\/p>\n<\/p>\n RaceFans always endeavours to credit original sources.
