Ezpeleta zu Doppel-Events: Wollen das die Fans? (Speed Week – German)
‘Dorna director Carlos Ezpeleta: ‘Everything is worth trying once. Especially when it comes to bringing MotoGP to a new target audience,’ Ezpeleta stated. However, the Spaniard also knows: ‘When I say that, it must be clear that this would only be possible at a handful of racetracks per year.”
F1 25 delivers ‘strong’ 27% year-on-year sales increase (Traxion)
‘The F1 25 video game has beaten its F1 24 predecessor for initial sales, according to its publisher Electronic Arts.’
Ericsson’s Andretti seat is secure, Edwards says (Racer)
‘He is under contract for next year, and we can’t stop people from saying whatever they choose to say. But it’ll go away when we can get more results with the 28 car. He’s under contract, and that’s what we’re doing.’
Hamilton needs to stop blaming Ferrari and change his attitude (The Telegraph)
‘Ferrari is a very different beast to Mercedes – he is not coming in with the credit that he built up there. He needs to change his attitude and accept that these cars are complicated to drive and that sometimes you need to drive within the limit rather than pushing for something that is not there.’
Fox’s IndyCar Laguna Seca broadcast delivers 700,000-plus (Racer)
‘With half of the network races in the 700,000s, the other seven have delivered two in the 500,000s (Long Beach, Iowa 1), one at 914,000 (Barber), three in the 1,000,000s (St. Petersburg, Detroit, WWTR), and one at 7,087,000 (Indy 500).’
‘The Hungaroring is like Monaco without walls’ has to be the most inaccurate widely-quoted F1 aphorism. It really isn’t anything like it.#F1 #HungarianGP #RaceFans
