Lando Norris feels back to his old self with pole position for the Austrian GP
SPIELBERG, Austria — Lando Norris said he felt back to his old self after taking pole position by more than half a second in qualifying for the Austrian Grand Prix on Saturday. HT Image Norris is seeking a strong result in Austria after colliding with his McLaren teammate and Formula 1 title rival Oscar Piastri at the last race in Canada. Norris crashed out and immediately apologized, while Piastri extended his standings lead. Piastri rued his bad luck in third place on Saturday after a yellow flag meant he had to abandon his final lap. Norris set the pace throughout the final part of qualifying and his final lap increased his advantage over second-placed Charles Leclerc of Ferrari to 0.521 of a second. "Nice to see the old me back every now and then,' Norris quipped to his team over the radio. It's the third pole position of the season for Norris and the first since last month's Monaco GP, which he also won. Norris has been less consistent than Piastri in qualifying this season, even when he's later shown he can match the Australian's pace in the race. 'Some of my tougher moments have been the qualis, so to put in a lap like today, to have the performance throughout this weekend like I had, was pleasing for myself,' Norris said. "I'm very happy with today but I want to prove it to myself over and over again and hopefully this is just the beginning of it." Norris ended a streak of five pole positions at the Red Bull Ring for defending champion Max Verstappen, going back to the 2021 Styrian GP. Piastri was .062 further back in third and said he had to abandon his final run of qualifying when Pierre Gasly's Alpine spun in front of him, causing a yellow flag which meant drivers behind had to slow down. 'Lando's been very quick all weekend so it would have been a tough challenge, but I think we easily had enough pace in the car this weekend to be on the front row,' Piastri said. "Always a shame when you don't even get the chance, but we can still have a good race from there. Sometimes it's just not your day." Lewis Hamilton was fourth as Ferrari had one of its best qualifying performances of the season and Verstappen seventh for Red Bull after his final lap was also spoiled by the yellow flag. It was a difficult day for Red Bull at its home track. Verstappen's teammate Yuki Tsunoda hasn't scored a point in three races and continued to struggle. He was 18th. 'I didn't have any front grip, bro,' he told the team. There was a delay for a red flag in the second part of qualifying when grass at the side of the track caught fire. The same problem caused repeated disruptions in qualifying at the Japanese GP in April. auto racing: /hub/auto-racing This article was generated from an automated news agency feed without modifications to text.

Apple Test-Drives Big-Screen Movie Strategy With F1
Forty-eight hours before Formula One's Grand Prix took to the streets of Monaco in late May, Apple Inc. screened its upcoming F1 film for the real-life drivers and team managers competing at the pinnacle of motorsport. It was crucial to Apple's services boss, Eddy Cue, that the company get it right. Not only is Cue himself a lifelong racing fan who sits on the board of Ferrari NV, but the movie is among Apple's most expensive pictures to date, with a budget of more than $200 million. Raising the stakes even higher, it marks the tech giant's return to theaters since dialing back its earlier big-screen ambitions. To capture the feel of sitting in a cockpit hurtling forward at 233 mph (375 kph), Apple mounted dozens of iPhone cameras on cars zooming through actual F1 events. In fact, the setup produced scenes so dramatic that the company has entered talks with Formula One to permanently affix its miniature lenses onto each car's fuselage, which would change how the sport is televised to roughly 70 million global viewers per race.

Toto Wolff Declares Mercedes F1 Engines 'Good as Gold'
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Mercedes got its first win of the season at the Canadian Grand Prix, but the team's power units went through some reliability issues. The Mercedes engine is under the spotlight after a run of problems throughout the past couple of race weekends. In Canada, Williams driver Alex Albon retired from the race after seven laps. The power unit caused the retirement. Williams is not the only Mercedes customer to have gone through problems with the engine; Aston Martin's Fernando Alonso couldn't finish the Monaco GP after a loss of power. Mercedes' Austrian team principal and CEO Toto Wolff looks on during a practice session for the 2025 Miami Formula One Grand Prix at Miami International Autodrome in Miami Gardens, Florida, on May 2, 2025. Mercedes' Austrian team principal and CEO Toto Wolff looks on during a practice session for the 2025 Miami Formula One Grand Prix at Miami International Autodrome in Miami Gardens, Florida, on May 2, 2025. Photo byEven the Mercedes car suffered problems this season. Kimi Antonelli retired from the Emilia-Romagna and Spanish races due to engine-related issues. Mercedes CEO Toto Wolff addressed the recent run of issues and came to the defense of the power unit—trying to reassure fans and customer teams alike that the Mercedes engine can still be counted on. "I mean, our engines have been as good as gold since the introduction of the hybrid era, and so strong. And now it's the final year, all sights are on next year, and this group are fully on top of the reliability issues that we have," Wolff explained. "And statistically, if you look at the many years, the failures we had were very minimal. So we need to learn now what happened. I don't know what happened to Alex (Albon), actually. And I'm sure we'll understand it." If Wolff is right, the Mercedes engine shouldn't go through many more issues this season. The power unit can maintain its reputation as long as the second half of the season sees the expected high-level reliability from the engine. Wolff feels confident in the engine holding up over the course of the season. The Mercedes power unit is likely the best on the grid, balancing power and reliability over the past decade. These problems are likely aberrations, which should give the team confidence about its prospects going forward. The Canadian GP saw the Brackley-based team keep itself at the top of the timesheets all weekend long. George Russell secured a stunning pole position in Canada and delivered a steady drive in the race to secure the win. Antonelli managed to get his first career podium finish and showed that the Mercedes car was flat-out better than the rest of the field. If the engines hold up for the rest of the season, Mercedes could be set for a dramatic upturn in form.

Four-time world champion Verstappen skips Brad Pitt F1 movie to stay with family
Max Verstappen caused a stir in F1's most glamorous paddock on Thursday after choosing to attend to his duties as a new father instead of going to an exclusive screening of the new Brad Pitt film 'F1: The Movie'. Red Bull's four-time world champion and Aston Martin's Lance Stroll were the only absentee drivers for the preview showing of the Hollywood movie in Monaco on Wednesday evening — all part of the build-up to this weekend's Grand Prix. Verstappen, who is no fan of promotion and marketing work beyond the needs of his own team, said he had declined the invitation well in advance. As to changing nappies, he made no comment. "I told Formula One Management (FOM) that I would not be there," he said. "They knew about it. I just wanted to spend more time at home. It wasn't a mandatory event and it was my private time. "And I prefer to spend that private time at home especially as in F1 you're away from home so much already. It's pretty normal, I think. Now my family is growing, I definitely prefer more time at home." Stroll said he was doing "just stuff", adding that: "At some point, I'll watch it." Both drivers, and the 18 who attended, are in the principality for the Monaco Grand Prix, the second of three races in a 'triple header' of three consecutive events in Italy, Monaco and Spain, following six season-opening flyaway races in Australia, Asia, the Gulf and Florida. The long-awaited film is due to go on general release next month and stars Brad Pitt and Damson Idris. It was directed by Joseph Kosinski, who made 'Top Gun: Maverick' among others, and the producers include Jerry Bruckheimer and seven-time world champion Lewis Hamilton of Ferrari. Hamilton attended the screening after which most drivers were enthusiastic about the production, many praising the authenticity of the racing sequences. Carlos Sainz of Williams said: "I truly enjoyed it... For us F1 experts, we're going to see things that we sometimes see with Netflix that you can tell are a bit Hollywood-esque. "But I truly believe that for a new fan, it will attract an audience and will do very well with people who don't know anything about F1. For the hardcore fan, for the journalists and us (drivers), we see things that maybe are too American or a bit too Hollywood." He added that the filming of racing sequences were "insane, honestly insane" and "for me the best part." Drivers, team bosses and other guests attended the showing which Hamilton's Ferrari team-mate Charles Leclerc described as "really cool". "Honestly, I didn't know what to expect," he added. "No idea. But the story-telling is really cool and the images are just incredible. I really enjoyed it." Pierre Gasly of Alpine said: "Beautiful! It was really cool to see it for the first time. I think it is a real dive into our world of Formula One so I'm sure people will like it." Williams' team chief James Vowles said: "I thought it was absolutely fantastic. They did a really good job of being authentic to who we are and how we go racing. "I rate films by goosebump moments and I had three or four of them that were just really brilliant build-ups that then ended in a fantastic way. It is a fantastic package."

However, the new two-stop protocol could trigger some funny business on the streets of Monte Carlo.

Five of the last six Monaco GPs have been won by the driver who lined up at the front of the grid, the sole exception coming in 2022, when a downpour and a disastrous Ferrari pit stop conspired to deny Charles Leclerc. Advertisement So to shake things up a little, the drivers will have to make a minimum of two pit stops. It's a tweak that could have the desired effect, but only if the drivers make something of it. The backmarkers have an incentive to get both of their pit stops out of the way early, for instance, while teamwork could prove effective at the front, if one driver backs up the field while the other dives in for maintenance. The latter is a fascinating prospect from the perspective of McLaren and Ferrari. Oscar Piastri only qualified in 3rd but is leading the drivers' standings and looks a more convincing title contender than Norris, while Lewis Hamilton might not take too kindly to playing second fiddle his teammate, despite Leclerc's superb record here.
