Colapinto’s wet-weather masterclass

Formula E is making unplanned changes to its calendar. The new season was originally due to begin in December in Saudi Arabia, but has been postponed until April because of the ongoing conflict. The event in Sanya, China, will take place two weeks earlier.

Lance Stroll once again failed to see the chequered flag due to technical problems. He has completed every racing lap at just one Grand Prix this season.

While he was still running in Sunday’s race in Sao Paulo, however, he put in an impressive performance. That included these two overtakes on Rafael Câmarа and Carlos Sainz.

Lewis Hamilton visited the Egyptian city of Rafah, on the border with the Gaza Strip, on Tuesday to show his support for humanitarian workers.

At the border, Hamilton greeted humanitarian workers with the Arabic greeting “Assalamu alaikum”, shook hands with them and spoke briefly with local officials. According to the governor of North Sinai, the purpose of the visit was to familiarise Hamilton with Egypt’s efforts to provide humanitarian aid to the Gaza Strip.

Following the weekend in Sao Paulo, Formula 1 released footage from the 360-degree camera on Charles Leclerc’s car. It offered a completely new perspective on his battle with Liam Lawson, for which he ultimately received a five-second penalty.

Wet track or not, Lando Norris was absolutely flying on slicks. When the rain began to fall, Max Verstappen’s supporters sensed a chance for him to show his mastery once again and challenge Norris for victory, but last year’s champion gave him no chance.

On slicks on the damp track, he was consistently a second a lap faster than Verstappen. On lap 61, he even extended his lead by a full two seconds!

George Russell will follow in Lando Norris’s footsteps and become the latest Formula 1 driver to launch his own driver academy.

“Karting was such a huge part of my life. I grew up on the racetrack, as my older brother Benji was a go-kart driver before me, but I started karting properly when I was seven years old,” says George Russell. “I loved it from the very beginning. I remember the pure adrenaline I got from racing go-karts. I just knew I wanted to be a racing driver.”

“Karting taught me the fundamentals of racing and refined me into the driver that I am right now. Dreams don’t just happen overnight, but with hard work, dedication, and the right opportunity, there’s a chance for everybody. Now it’s time to give back to a sport that gave me so much,” the British driver added.

He plans to reveal more details about his project on Thursday, 12 November.
