Just one week on from the race in Azerbaijan, the Formula 1 World Championship is back on track for the Canadian Grand Prix, which returns to the calendar for the first time since 2019. As usual, the race is run on a track made up of the perimeter roads on the manmade island of Notre-Dame, in the Saint Lawrence river estuary. It is a semi-permanent facility named in honour of the great Gilles Villeneuve and the track is both attractive and strange in many ways. It features long straights interrupted by a series of chicanes and slow corners. The right set-up therefore involves finding a good compromise that delivers stability under braking and excellent traction, without ignoring what is an important detail at this track, namely the need to able to ride the kerbs.
For the first time, the Alpine A110 will set foot on Florida soil, celebrating its presence at the inaugural 2022 Formula 1 Miami Grand Prix For this premiere, the A110 will pay tribute to this very special destination with a unique set of colours and customisations from the Alpine Atelier.Inspired by the neon lights of Ocean Drive, the art deco buildings overlooking Miami, the colourful sunsets and the city's vibrant music scene, the A110 South Beach Colorway will be available in two liveries, blue or pink. Highlighted by 18-inch white Serac wheels, this exclusive package will distinguish this unique theme, extending to the vehicle's interior: the "South Beach" floor mats will be embroidered in the colours of the liveries, and the blue and pink flags will adorn both the exterior and interior of the A110. Light grey stitching will finish the seats, the leather of the central console and will be juxtaposed to the specific flags of the dashboard.
Just a few days after Scuderia Ferrari’s one-two finish in the opening round of the season in Bahrain, the Formula 1 World Championship is back in action with the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix taking place less than three months on from the first ever running of this event. Last December, Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sainz finished seventh and eighth on the Jeddah Corniche semi-street circuit. Still in the Middle East therefore, but Formula 1 has moved from the Arabian Gulf to the shores of the Red Sea.

Charles Leclerc has the slogan 'MISSION WINNOW' stitched into his Ferrari hat.It’s on his flame red jacket, the baseball caps, the rear wing of the famous Maranello machines, and a range of promotional goods from backers PMI.Their marketeers define the catchword as “learning from past mistakes to shape the future”; others simply see it as ‘Win Now’.The dictionary describes winnowing as a method of refining the best from the rest. Whichever way you look at it Maranello’s baby-faced assassin is living it to a tee. In 20 races Leclerc's electrifying pace has transformed him from little known rookie to Ferrari’s, and maybe even the sport’s, future alongside Max Verstappen.He has ripped up the form book and arrives in Abu Dhabi this week in the eye of a storm caused by speed that has put the prominence of four-time champion Sebastian Vettel on the line at Ferrari and maybe even his long-term participation in the sport in doubt.
