New McLaren data shows huge mistake made at Japanese Grand Prix
McLaren once again showed its inexperience in decision-making at the Japanese GP when Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri found themselves in a position of superiority to steal the victory from Max Verstappen. The Woking team made a serious strategic mistake that prevented them from attacking the Red Bull driver in the pits. How McLaren lost the Japanese GP After a high-degradation race in 2024, the resurfacing and low track temperatures this season made the Japanese Grand Prix very uneventful, with just one pit stop for the vast majority of drivers. Max Verstappen defended pole at the start despite a very

Lewis Hamilton and Ferrari in F1 promotion after Japanese Grand Prix
Lewis Hamilton and Ferrari received some good news at last after the Japanese Grand Prix, as their promotion up the drivers' and constructors' standings respectively was confirmed in an official FIA document. Having picked up just 17 points from the opening three grand prix weekends, including a disqualification for both Charles Leclerc and Lewis Hamilton after the main race in China, Ferrari sat fifth in the constructors' championship. However, they have now been promoted up the order after Leclerc and Hamilton's fourth and seventh-place finishes respectively in Japan, and both of them have also been promoted in the drivers' championship

F1 snore-fest shows new cars badly needed: Up/Down Japanese GP
Ah yes, V10 F1 – that cochlea-searing era when grand prix cars were 200mph fag packets, Bernie Ecclestone ruled the series with an iron fist and political correctness was something for the rest of the world to worry about. And as well as that, the races were terrible. ‘90s/early ‘00s F1 cars might have looked and sounded incredible, but the grands prix were lacklustre as standard. With far less tyre degradation than we often see now, and cars running at full blast for most of the race but unable to get close to each other due to the disruption caused
Nearly 16 years after its abrupt withdrawal from the pinnacle of motorsports, Toyota has returned to the Formula One paddock in the form of a technical partnership with Haas. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/sports/2025/04/07/more-sports/haas-toyota-partnership-synergies/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #moresports #toyota #toyotagazooracing #haasf1team #ayaokomatsu #formulaone #japanesegrandprix #carmakers

F1 LIVE: Lewis Hamilton 'issue' emerges at Japanese GP as driver slapped with massive fine | F1 | Sport
Ferrari have admitted that they are desperately trying to avoid further disqualifications.The height of the car driven by Lewis Hamilton and Charles Leclerc had to be raised to avoid the skid-block hitting the track, which contributed to Hamilton being disqualified in China.'For sure, we all want to run the car lower and we all want to have more downforce in this situation, it would be better, but there is a limit. But there is a limit, the limit is bottoming and the limit is also the regulations,” Vasseur said.'We are all spending the weekend finding what the limit is, where
Max Verstappen ensured the final Japanese Grand Prix of the Red Bull-Honda partnership was a memorable one by converting a surprise pole into a surprise win. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/sports/2025/04/06/more-sports/japanese-grand-prix-race/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #moresports #maxverstappen #redbull #yukitsunoda #japanesegrandprix #honda
