The McLaren Formula 1 team has set its sights on the upcoming Grand Prix weekend at Spa-Francorchamps, where a new rear wing is scheduled for extensive testing.
This week also offers a special look back at motorsport history. Exactly 25 years ago, Michael Andretti claimed an important victory in the Champ Car IndyCar Series. His win on the streets of Toronto brought him within eleven points of championship leader Kenny Brack.
Even further back, some 65 years ago, Wolfgang von Trips won the British Grand Prix at Aintree. He secured an impressive podium sweep for Ferrari alongside teammates Phil Hill and Richie Ginther.
From current technical developments to memorable races from the past, the motorsport calendar remains a rich source of news and memories.
