Jasper Phillipson wins first stage in a frenetic sprint

Mathieu van der Poel won stage two.

The F1 at Silverstone was a bit wet and dry to say the least. A very disconchantled Piastri got a 10 second time penalty for slamming on his breaks when behind the safety car, Crash spun his in the wet, though he caught it and continued to finish 5th. That penalty also allowed his team mate Norris to take the lead and the win. Points for AmChaff, SCO and SHEP.



Well done Nico Hulkenberg for finally getting a podium finish at his 259th attempt and after starting 19th on the grid.

The shale shifters were, literally in the woods, in Sweden, with the top 3 this week being the same 3 as last time out in Poland. That brings Kurtz a little closer to Zmarzlik. The next round is in Riga, 2nd August.




Elsewhere, big shout out to Scott Dixon who won (again) in the Mid-Ohio Indycar race on a proper race track. Not the ovals or street tracks that are frequently used in this series. He was helped by his team mate doing a bit of rally cross a few laps from the end, which is never a good idea when you've got slick boots on your car. He has won at least one INDYCAR Series race in 21 consecutive seasons and 23 seasons overall, both Series records.








SHEP is now level with jjamez at the top of the pile with plenty of points still up for grabs.
