Bagnaia vs Martin: How they compare in key areas https://lnkd.in/eTC9Qbb7 With only two rounds left of the 2023 MotoGP title fight and a mere 14 points separating reigning champion Pecco Bagnaia from hunter Jorge Martin, it’s all to play for at Lusail and Valencia over the next two weekends. But with two very different circuits ahead and with two vastly different characters on opposing ends of the fight, and the new-for-2023 wildcard of Saturday sprint races, there's even more drama to what’s already proven a spectacular run-in to the season. Both racers bring very different strengths and weaknesses to the fight - which means it’s only fair to compare those characteristics to see if we can determine who the odds favour as they prepare to go to battle for the penultimate time. Each category on our list has a total score of one either split between Bagnaia and Martin if we see them as equal in that element or awarded 1-0 in favour of who we rate as superior.

7️⃣ Round Six: Emilia Romagna 7️⃣ Two weeks ago in Miami, we completed our second sprint weekend and witnessed Lando Norris clinch his maiden F1 win. This week, F1 will head to Emilia-Romagna region in Italy! Hosted in Autodromo Enzo e Dino Ferrari, the Emilia Romagna GP will be the first of the two races in Italy. The track features a mix of narrow, speedy, and technical sectors as the drivers tackle its 19 corners. Expect action (and potentially chaos) coming into the Tamburello corner. So, what should we look out for this weekend? 👀 Ahead of the 2024 race, here’s a little reminder of what happened in Imola 2 years ago after last year’s edition was cancelled due to a flood in the region: 😳 Both Mercs failed to reach Q3: Lewis Hamilton secured pole position in the 2021 edition and teammate George Russell failed to reach Q3 for the sprint race. 🥇 Max wins the sprint race: Verstappen took the lead of the sprint with two laps remaining, with Leclerc finishing second and Sergio Pérez in third. 🥉 Back-to-back Imola podium for Norris: With his third-place finish, Lando Norris scored his second consecutive Imola podium, capitalizing from Charles Leclerc hit the barriers whilst chasing second place. What’s your prediction for the Emilia Romagna GP? Let us know in the comments below! 👇 ** 🏎 Love seeing Formula One content on LinkedIn?

The Brazilian Grand Prix is over. A weekend packed with the Sprint race and the main race. The Sprint race winners were Max V. (RedBull F1 team) first, second Lando N. (Mclaran F1 team) and third Sergio P. (RedBull F1 team). Some great overtaking action happened up and down the grid. The main race was also won by Max V. (RedBull F1 team). He is just breaking records after records, this time a seventy one year old record of Ferrari driver Alberto Ascari. It was another story behind Max where the real action happened. Lando N. (Mclaran F1 team) happens to have a ring of good podium finishes. The most exciting nail biting battle was between Fernando A. (Aston Martin F1 team) and Sergio P. (RedBull F1 team). Sergio had a faster car but it was the more experienced Fernando who kept Sergio at bay. Sergio did manage to overtake Fernando on the last lap but Fernando managed to overtake him going into the next corner. It was one of the closest nail biting finish, a drag up the hill to the chequered flag. Fernando beat Sergio by just 0.053 second. The best thing about the battle was that both drivers fought hard, but fair, a true sportsman spirit by both drivers. Take from the race is - battle hard for the position but in a fair manner, giving enough room to each other just like Fernando and Sergio showcased in the duel. Two races left, now F1 goes back to United States for the Las Vegas F1 race. A new venue! Will it also have a new winner? Any guesses? #formula1 #f1 #cars #carracing #motorsports #fans #championship

BWT Alpine F1 Team heads to Spielberg for Round 11 of the 2024 FIA F1 World Championship, the Austrian Grand Prix. Esteban Ocon says: I have always liked racing in Austria. I have some fond memories here. Back in 2020, after a year out from racing, racing in Spielberg was the first one of the season. I remember the very wet Qualifying that year when we managed to qualify in fifth. In 2022, we had a good weekend here, taking ten points in fifth place. The track itself is short so usually the field is close and every hundredth and thousandth of a second counts. We have to get our high speed balance right and the aim for us is keep the positive trend going, which means an eye on Q3 again and, of course, valuable points. Pierre Gasly also says: Triple headers are always challenging. After Barcelona we’re straight into Austria and for a busy Sprint weekend. Spielberg is a short lap, the shortest for lap times during the year, with only nine corners. It’s a challenging one with kerbs, hard braking zones and a lot of high-speed corners. It’s always a very good event in Austria, a great atmosphere and a place I have enjoyed racing. We must take our learnings from Barcelona – especially high speed performance and balance – and apply them here this weekend. As it’s a Sprint we have to be on the pace straight away and put ourselves in a position to compete in both races. Did you know, Alpine performed its three fastest pitstops of the 2024 season in the Spanish Grand Prix. With Pierre Gasly’s 2.32s stop in the Japanese GP being their previous best, the team performed stops of 2.03s (Ocon), 2.24s (Gasly) and 2.27s (Ocon again) in Catalunya, making Alpine the third-fastest team in pitlane in 2024, behind only championship leaders Oracle Red Bull Racing and Scuderia Ferrari HP. #Alpine #alpinecars #alpineracing #alpinef1team #f1 #formula1 #AlpineF1 #AustrianGP #redbullring #AlpineCars #spielberg #raceday #teamenstone

--- Is Silverstone Remaining On The F1 Calendar? 🇬🇧🗓️ --- it has just been confirmed by F1 that the British Grand Prix, Silverstone will remain on the calendar for a little while longer! --- The Rundown! 🤔 --- The Silverstone Grand Prix held a whopping 480,000 attendees across the 2023 race weekend, which no doubt helped to contribute to the iconic circuit securing a new 10 year deal to remain in F1, a deal length recently signed for the Vegas GP and new 2026 Madrid GP. Silverstone is so iconic that it featured its first F1 race in 1950, making it one of the historic and iconic tracks in the sport. Not only this, but 7 out of the 10 current teams in the constructors of F1 are based within just a few miles of the circuit. Could you argue that Silverstone is the MOST iconic track in F1, or could Monza or Monaco take that spot? 👀 #f1 #news #f1news #motorsport #motorsports #sport #sports #sportnews #sportsnews #motorsportnews #motorsportsnews #racing #racingnews #silverstone #silverstonenews #britishgp #britishf1 #f1britain #luxedrive
