via Motorsport.comWas Cadillac “faster” than Williams in Madring F1 race?Cadillac Racing, in its first season in Formula 1, showed some promising pace during the Spanish Grand Prix, particularly with driver Sergio Perez, who managed to keep up with Williams' Alexander Albon until a mechanical issue forced him to retire. Despite finishing 17th, Perez noted that he was competitive and even faster than Albon during certain parts of the race, which provided a glimmer of hope for the team.
On the other hand, teammate Valtteri Bottas struggled throughout the race, finishing at the back and highlighting ongoing reliability concerns. Cadillac has faced numerous challenges this season, including a high number of retirements, but both drivers remain hopeful for improvements in future races, particularly in the upcoming Azerbaijan Grand Prix.

via grandprix.comStuck dislikes F1's new cars, but likes AntonelliHans-Joachim Stuck has voiced strong disapproval of the current direction of Formula 1, particularly criticizing the emphasis on electrical systems and adjustable wings that he believes detract from driver skill. He longs for a return to cars that enable more traditional racing tactics, such as slipstreaming, rather than relying on technology to dictate performance.
In contrast, Stuck praised Kimi Antonelli, calling him a once-in-a-century talent, and likened him to legendary drivers like Max Verstappen and Ayrton Senna. He noted that Antonelli's current championship lead provides him with the opportunity to be more selective in his racing approach, allowing him to prioritize strategic positioning over aggressive racing in every situation.
via Motorsport.comSebastian Vettel: “I’d be very happy” for Kimi Antonelli to beat me as F1’s youngest championSebastian Vettel has stated that he would be pleased if Kimi Antonelli surpasses his record as the youngest Formula 1 world champion. Vettel achieved this milestone in 2010 at the age of 23 years and 4 months, a record that Antonelli, now 20, is on track to break after a strong performance this season, particularly following his win at the Spanish Grand Prix which extended his lead in the championship standings.
Antonelli has already broken several of Vettel's records, including those for pole positions and hat-tricks at a younger age. He has received encouragement from Vettel, who appreciates the hard work and dedication required to achieve such success in the sport. Antonelli's achievements also include being the youngest to score a fastest lap and lead a race, showcasing his potential to become a future champion.Wed 16 Sep · 08:42 UTC
