Sophia Floersch became the first women to collect points in Formula 3 world championship after finishing 7th in Formula 3’s Spa Francorchmps feature race. This follows the Qatar Grand Prix in October, when several drivers needed medical attention after the race. Immediately the Mclaren of Lando Norris was fast only trumped by the Mercedes of George Russel with the pair exchanging fastest time but after everyones first timed runs it was the Ferrari of Charles Leclerc who topped the times with Perez and Verstappen only managing 3rd and 4th. Among other changes, an extra cooling duct will be permitted after concerns of heat exposure in extreme conditions. Shining an led into the first counter balance mass shows the small communal drilling from nose to provide cooling under the waisted plug, all the other counter balance masses rely on splash oil entering around the waisted plug to provide cooling.

Teams are given an allocation of tyre per weekend within which they may choose the amount of each compound they want for the weekend.

Your Organisation

I say near, as the top is very clearly dominated by Redbull, specifically Max Verstappen who has entered a league of his own as he looks to break the record for the most wins in a season, which he already holds as he took 15 wins in 2022. With 12 races left of the season he currently has eight victories; he aims to hit his sixth in a row in Hungary. With stories written to tide things over until the race begins, I would then grab some lunch before completing my pre-race prep, things such as making notes, looking up stats etc. If there can be a bit more racing introduced, perhaps, (it would be good) but then you have to look at what the consequences of that are, if you were to reverse the grid etc." Saturday at Spa for the F3 grid was a wet one. The Sprint Race saw 3 safety car interventions and ultimately ended behind it. Although Rouse and Turkington hold the official records, there are other past champions we need to discuss, who could also be considered for our title of Greatest of All Time. I could easily sit here and talk about all of the other three-time champions, for example, and wax lyrical about their achievements and why they all deserve their place in this debate.

With 10 to go Lewis was struggling to catch Leclerc in the closing stages of the race, but there was plenty of racing down the field with Ricciardo chasing Hulkenberg, Zhou chasing down Ricciardo, Ocons briliant move on Tsunoda around the outside for 9th place and Lando Norris was holding onto 7th with Soft tyres he put on, on lap 18. The disadvantage is that it decreases the overall crankshaft bending stiffness which promotes big end bearing edge loading. Crankshaft pins are profiled axially (barreled) to counter this. However, by very nature the BTCC is hugely unpredictable and throws many different possibilities at us that we need to consider. Of course, no discussion about past or future BTCC legends would not be complete without talking about triple-winner and current championship leader, Ashley Sutton. Will we see a few of these names return again to stake their claim as the BTCC GOAT? Let's find out!Making his first few appearances during the 1991 season, Matt joined his father Steve's Team Dynamics outfit for his first full campaign in 1992, taking charge of the previous season's championship-winning BMW M3 from Will Hoy.

And making history today Sophia Floersch became the first female driver to score points in FIA Formula 3. massive congratulations to her and the PHM team. Lap 17 and Norris over takes Sainz and has just 2 laps to catch and past the ailing George Russell in 3rd, which as it turned out only took 3 corners as before the lap had ended Norris was in 3rd and earned his place on the Sprint 'race' Podium. But would his team mate be on top of that Podium. Much to the delight of this writer yes he did and Max despite his best efforts never got within 1.8 seconds of Piastri and he had won his first Formula 1 'race' just weeks after resigning with Mclaren. The race ended under safety car conditions and Collet lead the grid home to win the Sprint Race at Spa, with Zak O'Sullivan the only title contender to score points today taking him closer to Bortoleto in the championship by 7 much needed points to keep the championship fight alive to Monza.

During the Hungaroring FP2 session Sky sports commentator David Croft drew attention to Franz Tosts (Team principal of Alpha Tauri) comment claiming this is the “most competitive field in terms of drivers that we’ve ever had in formula one”. In true Spa-Francorchamp style the only practice session the teams have this Sprint weekend was very, VERY, VERYWET. So teams like Mercedes and Mclaren who have bought updates this weekend stood no chance of doing any meaningful testing. Instead it was about getting to grips with navigating the rivers that flow around a very wet Spa and are predicted to make multiple appearances this weekend. But it was felt the arrangement put too big a gap between qualifying and the grand prix and raised questions about the merit of Saturday's action, as the consequences of the sprint, with its reduced points, are minimal.

Caio Collet set the fastest time of those who got over the line before the red flag flew again when Dufek on full send during his first Qualifying session took to much curb through turn 8 and ended in the gravel, unable to continue. Again the grid returned to the pitlane.I often joke that I am one of the least qualified journalists you will ever meet… but it’s true! I studied History at University College London (UCL) for my degree. While it was not directly building journalism skills, it did help me with analytical skills, copywriting through essays and research, all handy tools to have when it comes to being a journalist. Red Bull team principal Christian Horner said: "It is clear the sprints need to evolve a bit. I understand the concept and action on all three days, but they have at times been slightly underwhelming. It is also worth noting that the rods are guided by the piston and have no thrust surfaces to guide them on the crank webs as shown below, Whatever it takes, the race before the race" will have its world premiere on 6th September 2023 in Venice.
