𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗛𝗲𝗮𝗿𝘁-𝗦𝘁𝗼𝗽𝗽𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗙𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗹𝗲 𝗧𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗦𝘁𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝗘𝗰𝗵𝗼𝗲𝘀 𝗧𝗵𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗴𝗵 Formula 1 𝗛𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘆 Imagine the roar of the engines, the blur of speed, and the adrenaline-fueled determination as five cars barrel towards the chequered flag, mere inches apart. The 1971 Italian Grand Prix wasn't just a race; it was the epitome of motorsport drama, showcasing the raw, unfiltered essence of Formula 1 racing. Held at the iconic Monza circuit, this grand prix is etched in history as the closest finish ever, with the top five contenders separated by a breath-taking 0.61 seconds. 𝗘𝗱𝗴𝗲-𝗼𝗳-𝗬𝗼𝘂𝗿-𝗦𝗲𝗮𝘁 𝗧𝗵𝗿𝗶𝗹𝗹𝘀 In an era where technological advancements and strategic pit stops were not as pivotal as today, pure driving skill and nerve were the orders of the day. The 1971 race exemplified this, with drivers pushing themselves and their machines to the absolute limit. The intense slipstream battle, a hallmark of Monza's long straights, saw positions change lap after lap, corner after corner. It was motorsport in its purest form - unpredictable, thrilling, and incredibly close. 𝗔 𝗟𝗲𝗴𝗮𝗰𝘆 𝗧𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗟𝗶𝘃𝗲𝘀 𝗢𝗻 Today, the 1971 Italian Grand Prix serves as a reminder of the fearless spirit of racing, a testament to the drivers' skills, and the intense competition that defines Formula 1. It raises an important question about the evolution of the sport: In an age dominated by technological innovations, can modern F1 recreate the same level of close, competitive racing that fans witnessed at Monza in 1971? #Formula1 #ItalianGrandPrix #Monza #MotorsportHistory #RacingLegends What do you think? Can today's Formula 1 capture the same raw excitement and closely contested finishes that made races like the 1971 Italian Grand Prix legendary?

This past weekend marked the 62nd annual running of the ROLEX 24H of Daytona: the IMSA - International Motor Sports Association season opener which brings together of 222 of the world's best drivers to battle it out on the track for 24 hours straight - all with the goal of bringing home one of racing's most iconic trophies, a specially engraved Rolex Daytona. IMSA is a distinctive season for many reasons, but the Rolex 24H is a one-of-a-kind event, as drivers from across series - Formula 1, INDYCAR, NASCAR, FIA World Endurance Championship and more - are able race against each other in one venue, in one weekend. That's something you can't find much of anywhere else. While a record-breaking 50,000+ fans showed up to the Daytona International Speedway to watch the race and even more tuned in online to watch the event, IMSA is unlike many other racing series', and as such can be a steep learning curve for new fans. We put together a guide to help motorsport audiences get a grasp of what to look out for during the race, and the rest of the IMSA season: https://lnkd.in/ev8e7XTe This series is one of our favorites, but we can't hope to share it with the world if there's no easy way to learn. Check out the guide and tune in for the rest of the season 👇 #IMSA #endurancesport #rolex24h #rolex24hdaytona #motorsport #racing

The 2024 Formula 1 season Formula 1 has returned for its 75th running of the World Championship. The 2024 FIA Formula 1 World Championship started off on February 21, with three days of preseason testing at the Bahrain International Circuit, which will also host the first race of the season on March 2. This season will feature 24 Grands Prix in 21 countries across five continents, with the United States and Italy as the only countries hosting more than one race. The countries hosting the races are Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, Australia, Japan, China, the U.S., Italy, Monaco, Canada, Spain, Austria, Britain, Hungary, Belgium, the Netherlands, Azerbaijan, Singapore, Mexico, Brazil, Qatar, and Abu Dhabi. Six of the races will feature sprint races: the Chinese, Miami, Austrian, U.S., Sao Paulo, and Qatar Grands Prix. The sprint weekend format was changed for this year’s season with the intention of separating the sprint events from the race events. This year, there will be one practice session on Friday that will be followed by a sprint shootout, which will determine the starting grid for the sprint. The sprint will then be held on Saturday, followed by a qualifying session for the main race. The main race will be held on Sunday. For the first time in the sport’s history, all teams maintained their driver lineups from the previous season. However, more than 10 of the drivers will be out of contracts with their teams at the end of the 2024 season. So far, Lewis Hamilton, George Russell, Oscar Piastri, Charles Leclerc, Lando Norris, and Max Verstappen are the only drivers who have secured team placements beyond the year. Two teams were rebranded: Alpha Tauri Honda RBPT and Alfa Romeo Ferrari. As Sauber prepares to become the Audi works team in 2026, they ended their partnership with Alfa Romeo in 2023. The team has now been rebranded to Stake F1 Team Kick Sauber for the next two seasons before a rebrand comes along again in 2026 as the Audi works team. The Alpha Tauri team was rebranded as the Visa Cash App RB F1 Team. Visa is now a global partner for both the Red Bull Racing team and Visa Cash App RB on a multi-year agreement. A few rules were changed for the 2024 season. This year, drivers are allowed to use DRS one lap after the race has started, on a safety car restart, or on a red flag restart. The power unit allocation per season was increased from three to four per driver. This year, the proposed trial for a ban on tyre blankets was cast aside. Pirelli will remain the official tyre supplier, but the “alternative tyre allocation” that was trialled last year will not be carried on this season. The C0 tyre compound, which was the hardest tyre in the dry tyre range, will not be included in the tyre line-up. And lastly, as a result of the cockpit overheating during last year’s Qatar Grand Prix, teams will be allowed to install a scoop on the car in order to cool down the cockpit area and the driver.   #Formula1 #F1 #2024

🔴 NEWS: Formula 1 is considering glued gravel traps as the best solution to enforcing track limits, as teams and FIA are already in discussions. Pirelli‘s chief engineer Simone Berra said that adding glued gravel traps could help prevent chaos around track limits. These gravel traps have first come into use at the Dutch Grand Prix last year. These are a better solution to real gravel traps with stones that can be dragged on track and damage tyres. 🗣️ “Probably the best solution, and it’s something that I know that the teams are speaking with FIA and FIA is speaking with the teams, is trying to use a solution like we have in Zandvoort where they glue the gravel. That could be a good solution because you don’t bring a gravel into the racing line.” Zandvoort added the glued gravel traps last year, as they wanted to avoid stones to be dragged on track by cars going through gravel at some places. This year, the FIA requested tracks to add or extend gravel traps, with Austria showing the biggest change. ⬇️ What do you think? #F1 #Formula1 #DutchGP #Gravel #F1Race #FIA #F12024 #Race #Racing #Racer #GrandPrix #GP #F1Tech #Official #Car #RaceCar #News #Update #F1Racing #Motorsport #RacingUpdate
