Issue #519: Newgarden Gets The Milk!

What a weekend of racing - on what is always one of the most monumental days of action, we were really spoiled last weekend.

Josef Newgarden finally prevailed at the Indianapolis 500 as he won out amid a dramatic conclusion to the race, besting reigning winner Marcus Ericsson to the chequered flag. Kevin Dejewski was at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway and has your report and some great images from the fastest spectacle in racing.

Another prestigious race also took place as the Monaco Grand Prix was staged in the narrow streets of Monte Carlo. Max Verstappen took the win, but it was far from easy as rain threatened to derail all of his hard work late on. Graham Harris and chief snapper James Moy were in Monaco.

Also present on the Monaco streets were the stars of tomorrow, as Formula 2 and Formula 3 shared the circuit with its parent F1 categories. Find out who shone and who faltered around one of the sport's toughest tracks. Elsewhere, the 2023 DTM season finally got underway from Oschersleben - Phil Oakley reports on both races.

On the feature side of operations, Graham Harris asks whether or not modern racing is a sport or entertainment after the Indy 500 had a rather unorthodox finish with a two lap white-green finish that second placed man Marcus Ericsson felt was rather unfair. While agony aunt Claire Millins also reflects on the Honda/Aston Martin tie-up and what Fernando Alonso may be feeling regarding a reunion with the Japanese manufacturer!
