Floersch after a disappointing stint in F3 made her debut in endurance racing in 2020. For the next two years she would race in the 24 hours of Le Mans – LMP2 alongside Beitske Visser and Tatiana Calderon as part of an all-female team and the European Le Mans Series. Competing with Richard Mille Racing and Algarve Pro racing.

In Baku Pirelli chose to run the Medium Tyre during both Q1 & 2. This format is meant to help smaller teams with slower cars to gain an advantage on faster ones by stopping the stronger engined cars from putting a softer compound on to get through to the next round of qualifying.An agreement that "development of future tyres should be focused on reduction of overheating and improving raceability" has led to a decision to abandon the ban on tyre-heating blankets for 2025 The potential changes to the sprint format have been introduced because of concerns that the current system is confusing. It's very tempting to simply go on championship wins as, surely, the very pinnacle of any competition is to be at the top of the tree and win that title? The easy answer is yes, as what is the point of competing if you aren't playing (or in this case, racing) to win? And it is also simpler to decide on this as you only have to go as far as the BTCC history books to find out. Q3 started without both Redbul's for the first time in recent memory and Lando Norris getting through marked the Mclaren mans 10th consecutive Q3 appearance despite their tough start to the season and both HAAS cars had made it to Q3 for the first time this year.

The safety car ended for the cars to start lap 8 and Collet went early and held his lead, Edgar in 4th out braked himself into turn 1 and handed the place to O'Sullivan and news came that Mansell was under investigation for a safety car infringement. Just 1 lap later Safety car number 3 was brought out for championship leader Bortoleto's ailing car pulling over on the side of the start of the Kemmel Straight after being hit from behind by Beganovic going into turn 1 causing suspension damage that meant he could not continue and would score no points in his effort to win the F3 title this weekend at Spa. At the same time driver Shin in his MP motorsport car also spun at le Combes confirming the call for the 3rd safety car . The production is a collaboration between Alpha Tauri them selves and Digital Lighthouse which will begin with a look at the 2021 & 2022 seasons with members of the team and former driver line up Pierre Gasly and Yuki Tsunoda as well as taking you through the 20 year story of Alpha Tauri from the end of the Minardi team and birth of Toro Rosso to the teams greatest moments, drivers and team members that have all contributed to the teams time in Formula 1.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. The crank seal locates too on this end - the far end has no crank seal of course as it is open to the timing gears, Whatever it takes, the race before the race" will have its world premiere on 6th September 2023 in Venice. Bortoleto had alot of work to do after qualifying 15th and his rivals all starting in the reverse top 12 grid. A statement from the FIA said the Commission had given "overall support" to the changes to the sprint format.

Onto the part itself - I'm starting first with a few basic overview shots, I'll touch on the finer details as we go, Sophia known as a trailblazer and inspiration for women in motorsport was announced as an Alpine Academy driver at the beginning of the 2023 season. After taking two years out of formula racing, she returned as part of PHM Racing. 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.Variations of this stress relief groove have been commonplace in F1. This particular shape shown by Brian has been carried over to the Cosworth CA engine (where it no longer broke through to the counterweight thread bores). 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. Aston Martin kept just inside of the top 10, Alonso in 10th keeping him third place in the drivers standing and Stroll in 9th. Williams just missed out on points as Albon finished 11th but after tyre degradation Logan Sergeant was forced to end his race with one lap left. 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. Floersch previously told CNN “I think as a woman, a struggle you have is to find people to give you money for it …to find companies who believe in you, who trust you to beat the man and to get the same chances and possibilities”.

Teams are given an allocation of tyre per weekend within which they may choose the amount of each compound they want for the weekend. How about the driver who has the most race wins? The one with the highest points tally? Or even the best race-to-win ratio? 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.

What does a race day at work look like for an F1 journalist?

The part below is from the Cosworth TJ V10 Engine - please be advised this crank has been in poor storage for the past while with the result it is now a display item only and will not be ran again. Its counterweights have also been removed but they are pretty inanimate objects in a way. With that in mind and ignoring the surface finish lets delve in and see what it has to offer. Hamilton pipped Sainz to 5th with overtakes on Gasly, Alonso and Sainz in the closing 2 laps. We can't not mention Alex Albons brilliant drive from 17-7th either, well done that man!!!
