Issue #625: The Norris Ring

Headlining this week’s edition is F1 and the Austrian Grand Prix which took place at the Red Bull Ring. Lando Norris held off Oscar Piastri’s challenge as McLaren secured another dominant 1-2. Graham Harris, Taylor Powling and Jack Smith provide the rundown on the action, while James Moy snapped all the images. With Max Verstappen retiring on the opening lap on Red Bull’s home soil, the Drivers’ title now appears a straight battle between the McLaren duo - as Taylor and Jack argue in the latest edition of Start Your Engines. Behind the McLaren duo came Charles Leclerc, who has continued to shine on-track despite Ferrari’s struggles in 2025. Taylor discusses how he has now emerged as the Italian marque’s most priceless asset, while Formula 2 and 3 supplemented the bill in Spielberg. Meanwhile over on two wheels, Marc Marquez was once again a class apart as he claimed another Sprint and Grand Prix double at Assen to extend his championship lead. Henry Cheal and Eden Hannigan report. Elsewhere, David Ledbitter reports on how Ott Tänak and Hyundai brought Toyota’s winning run to a crushing end at the Acropolis Rally Greece in the latest chapter of the 2025 FIA World Rally Championship. And, as always, we have all the usual news, views and stories in this week's edition of the most widely read weekly motorsport magazine in the world!
