In many ways, F1 Academy is a spiritual successor to W Series, an all-female racing series that shuttered in 2022 because of financial problems. Where F1 Academy differs is that it has the financial backing of Formula 1 and buy-in from the sport's constructors, with each team sponsoring F1 Academy drivers. "F1 Academy is a really friendly environment and a bit different to when I've been in male paddocks with mixed competition. She previously competed in W Series and has enjoyed her time so far with F1 Academy, which she describes as a "streamlined" series. Most importantly, though, she's grateful for the amount of testing and practice time that F1 Academy provides.

Guenther Steiner likened being the team principal of Haas F1 to "being the CEO of a small company." "The good news is no two days are the same," said James Vowles, Williams Racing's team principal. Guenther Steiner, a former team principal of the Haas F1 team who's now an ambassador for the Miami Grand Prix, said the job was sort of like running a corporation. Brown said the top traits he looked for in a team principal were selflessness, a focus on performance, and a willingness to lead by example. "Andrea is a team principal that focuses on his team, putting his people first."

Already given one career lifeline this season, Ricciardo missed the last five races with a broken left hand. But he returns this week to the U.S. Grand Prix, where the 34-year-old Australian has a history of having some cheeky fun. Long time no see," Ricciardo said to the group of his fellow drivers when he walked into Thursday's news conference. The hand feels good,” Ricciardo said, adding that the bone break that required surgery was worse than initially expected. Eventually there will have to be a serious side to the racing, which has not been so good for Ricciardo in recent years.

“Hard Knocks” is a docuseries that focuses on a single NFL team as it prepares for the upcoming NFL season. F1 is already a dangerous and exciting sport on its own, but “Drive to Survive” transforms it into a soap opera. By the end, hopefully, they’re consuming the product; in this case, actually watching the live sport. But his strength on the field isn’t why Travis Kelce is a household name. In last season’s Super Bowl, Travis Kelce went head-to-head against brother Jason Kelce, when the Chiefs faced the Philadelphia Eagles.

☆ Haas F1 boss Steiner plays it by the book

LONDON, April 20 (Reuters) - Haas boss Guenther Steiner has famously not watched the Netflix 'Drive to Survive' docu-series that made him a cult hero for a new wave of Formula One fans, but he has read every word of 'Surviving to Drive'. If they feel happy, I’m happy for them," said Steiner. He came back in 2005 when Red Bull bought the Jaguar team but then moved to NASCAR, returning to F1 when Haas debuted in 2016. RARE EXAMPLEThe book is a rare example of an active F1 boss putting his thoughts into print, however forthright and uncomplimentary. Ralf Schumacher, brother of seven times world champion Michael and uncle of Haas's dropped former driver Mick, is unlikely to enjoy it.

☆ F1: One of Michael Schumacher's Ferraris has sold for almost $15 million at auction

CNN —The Ferrari in which Michael Schumacher won his sixth Formula One world title has smashed auction records to become the most expensive F1 car in history. The F2003-GA sold for $14.9 million in a Sotheby’s auction in Geneva, Switzerland on Wednesday, almost doubling the previous record for an F1 car when Schumacher’s F2001 fetched $7.5 million in 2017. According to Sotheby’s, Schumacher recorded five race wins, two podiums and three pole positions in the F2003-GA. In that season, the German finished just two points ahead of Kimi Räikkönen in the championship standings to claim the sixth of his seven world titles. By claiming his sixth world title, Schumacher passed Juan Manuel Fangio’s record tally and then went on to win his seventh title the following year – a number Lewis Hamilton matched in 2020.

Сын легендарного немецкого гонщика Михаэля Шумахера (Michael Schumacher) - Мик Шумахер (Mick Schumacher) - в воскресенье, 6 декабря, стал чемпионом серии "Формула-2" 2020 года. В последней гонке сезона, проходившей в Бахрейне, Шумахер-младший стартовал с третьей позиции, однако вскоре после начала состязания был вынужден отправиться в бокс из-за проблем с шинами. Однако его ближайший преследователь британец Каллум Илотт во второй половине гонки потерял темп и финишировал также без единого очка. Что до Мика Шумахера, то в следующем сезоне он будет выступать в серии "Формула- 1" в американской команде Haas F1.
