The problem led to multiple off-track excursions before ultimately triggering a safety car period, and Antonelli could manage only a 16th-place finish. Lewis Hamilton secured sprint pole position at his home race, edging Antonelli by just over one hundredth

Photo from www.x.com/f1 By Ryan Wu The legends find a way. After 31 races and an entire 2025 season without a podium, Lewis Hamilton added to his Formula 1 record with the 106th win of his career and the first for the Scuderia. He became the first non-Mercedes driver to win a race this season. Hamilton was joined by George Russell and Lando Norris who took the remaining podium places, recovering nicely from two straight DNFs in his last two races. Race Recap Russell started t

Hamlin, one of the co-owners of 23XI Racing, was celebrating this weekend as a boss, rather than as a driver, as part-time entrant Corey Heim earned his first ever Cup Series victory at the Coronado Street Course in San Diego!

This week, it was a little less complicated for him, as he didn’t have to go to the rear early in the race. Let’s have a look at how it all shook down!

Photo by Brett Farmer/Getty Images By Adam Carabine Is this déjà vu? Denny Hamlin won the pole, went to the rear, and then drove all the way to the front for the second week in a row. There was a lot of crashing and carnage at Michigan, but Denny rose above it to capture the win. Let’s have a look at how it all shook down! Lap 1: Denny Hamlin should have been on pole, but had to make repairs to his car, so he had to start at the rear. Carson Hocevar became the contro

Photo from www.x.com/f1 By Ryan Wu The 2026 Formula 1 Championship battle is quickly becoming a rout. Kimi Antonelli, who remains a teenager until August, has now won five consecutive races, becoming the youngest driver in Formula 1 history to achieve that feat. With his victory in Monaco during a chaotic race that saw seven drivers fail to cross the finish line, Antonelli also became the youngest winner of the prestigious race, taking the record from Lewis Hamilton. In addit

Let’s have a look at how it all shook down! Pre-Race: The start was delayed due to some light showers in the area. Once they got the track dry, NASCAR opted to include a Competition Caution at (or around) Lap 35. La

Photo from www.x.com/f1 By Ryan Wu Having already secured a sprint race win and starting from pole, George Russell looked to take the double over the weekend and eat into his teammate Kimi Antonelli’s Championship lead. Unfortunately for the British driver, a loss of power on lap 30 forced his retirement from the race after a back-and-forth battle amongst the two Mercedes. Antonelli won his fourth race in a row, extending his Championship lead to 43 points. Race Recap McLare

Let’s have a look at how it all shook down! Lap 1: Pole-sitter Tyler Reddick takes the green flag alongside Denny Hamlin. As they fight back and forth all lap long, it’s a drag race back to the start-finish line. Hamlin edges out in front and t

After a fairly intense day at Bristol, the young grandson of JGR owner Joe Gibbs, Ty Gibbs came away with his first victory in the Cup Series.

Photo from www.x.com/f1 By Ryan Wu Clearly not satisfied with ‘just’ being one of the youngest drivers to win an F1 Grand Prix, Kimi Antonelli can now add ‘The first teenager to win back-to-back races’ and the youngest ever Championship leader to his resume. Not bad for a driver who won’t even be legally allowed to drink at the location of the next race in Miami. Oscar Piastri rebounded beautifully with a second-placed finish (and completed his first Grand Prix lap of the sea

Tyler Reddick, battling alternator issues all day long, gambled on tire strategy and earned his fourth win of this young season. Reddick earned the pole, but within the first two laps he noticed that he was having some voltage issues. He was unable to run his cool suit, had to run with less throttle at times to preserve power, and at one poi

Photo from www.x.com/f1 By Ryan Wu It was a day to forget for McLaren as both Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri were unable to start the race. The nightmare start to the 2026 season continued for Piastri as he has not completed a single grand prix lap in the first two races of this year. Kimi Antonelli achieved his maiden Formula 1 victory and became the second youngest driver to do so. His teammate George Russell and Lewis Hamilton rounded out the podium places. For Hamilton, t

It was also another disappointing weekend for Piastri in front of his home crowd, following his DNF last year at Melbourne Park when rain hit the track. In total, five drivers failed to finish the race. Nico Hulkenberg joined Oscar Piastri with the dreaded DNS (did not start), while Valtteri Bo
