Lewis Hamilton wins thrilling Saudi Arabian Grand Prix
JEDDAH — Lewis Hamilton won the inaugural Saudi Arabian Grand Prix at Jeddah Corniche Circuit on Sunday for Mercedes after one of the most bizarre races in Formula 1 history with title rival Max Verstappen. In a race that required two restarts and four virtual safety cars, Hamilton and Verstappen clashed on track numerous times. After numerous interjections from race control, Verstappen was handed a 5s penalty for leaving the track and gaining an advantage as well as being docked two places for the second restart. Verstappen also handed the lead to Hamilton on two occasions, and had Hamilton drive into the back of him at one point in a botched position switch move. From pole position Hamilton led his Mercedes teammate Valtteri Bottas and Verstappen. Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc held...

Innovation at speed: How a university R&D lab is helping McLaren lap the Formula 1 field
BY FASTCO WORKSWhen McLaren Racing teammates Daniel Ricciardo and Lando Norris finished one-two in September’s Italian Grand Prix, the gap between them was vanishingly small: 1.747 seconds. If either had run just a few seconds slower at Monza, Formula 1’s fastest track, they would have tumbled off the winner’s podium and into the middle of the pack. This is why F1 teams spend tens of millions of dollars annually tweaking their cars’ aerodynamics, fuel combustion, and telemetry—all in pursuit of an edge worth hundredths of a second per lap.But when all ten teams line up on the grid in Jeddah on December 5 for the inaugural Saudi Arabian Grand Prix—on the fastest street circuit ever, with estimated average speeds of 252 kmh (156 mph)—only McLaren will possess a home-grown...
