Drivers celebrate F1 in Austin with special-edition helmets (ESPN)

F1 loves Austin -- the food, the crowd, the culture -- and drivers make that clear with a raft of special-edition helmets for the 2022 U.S. GP.

[Don](https://www.espn.com/rpm/driver?seriesId=6&driverId=2987)'t have ESPN? ET; [stream live on ABC](https://www.espn.com/watch/player/_/eventCalendarId/401393767#bucketId=1)). Beyond the theme of this lid being bang on the money, this piece of art from Jens Munser Designs is among the most beautiful in Austin this year. With his beard and long hair, the four-time world champion certainly has the look that recalls the days of peace and love. And there's perhaps no greater line from the movie to sum up both Ricciardo and Bobby than "I wanna go fast," which is printed proudly across the back of the helmet. What's special about this design is that it has an incredibly personal touch, on top of being inspired by the location of this weekend's race. Leclerc and the rest of the F1 grid can consider themselves lucky that their star power ensures they'll never have to wait in the hourslong line at Franklin's when they come to town. Those features are accented by the stars that periodically appear within those painted bands of asphalt, and also happen to represent the 2021 and 2022 titles the 25-year-old Dutch driver has claimed. There is a long, long history of racers coming to the U.S. Ask any driver on the grid, and COTA will inevitably land high up the order of their favorite races, but you don't need to take their word for it. Not only is Austin home to some of the best crowds of the season, it boasts a cuisine and certain culture that resonates with the drivers, engineers and most everyone who make up this traveling circus. [Formula One](/f1/) loves Austin, Texas.

F1 News: Sainz fastest in America FP1 - Alex Palou and ... (Sports Illustrated)

Several new faces made their first F1 appearances in America's Free Practice 1 session, teams using the session to fulfil their obligations to give rookie.

Palou (who only completed laps on the mediums) and Shwartzman were the two standouts from the newbies in FP1, with Sargeant and Pourchaire also getting plenty of experience under their belt. McLaren's Alex Palou - IndyCar champion - was among the most impressive drivers from the session, within three-tenths of Lando Norris on the medium tyres and showing great confidence in his MCL36 machine. Alex Palou, Logan Sargeant, Robert Shwartzman and Theo Pourchaire were the drivers to complete their first laps in F1 machinery.

Rival teams pushing F1 to penalize Red Bull for spending cap breach (NBC Sports - Motorsports)

After Red Bull breached a cost cap last season as Max Verstappen won the championship, rival teams are pushing F1 for a penalty that sends a message.

“The majority of the people already believe who they believe won.” “I’m looking at how I can win another championship,” Hamilton said. “It needs to be not only financial (punishment), because just financial is too easy. Formula One first announced a budget cap would be implemented in 2019, and it started last season with a limit of $145 million. million can mean to car development,” Ferrari driver Carlos Sainz said. It was scaled down to $140 million for 2022 and drops to $135 million for 2023, excluding driver salaries and engine costs. It should be harsh.” Potential penalties for minor overspending range from a reprimand to reduced budgets or even deduction of driver and team championship points. “It has to be something that hurts,” Bottas told The Associated Press. Ferrari has also argued that any improper boost in car development impacts not just one season but several, as teams are in a constant arms race for the future. What the FIA decides to do will be considered a major test of first-year president Mohammed Ben Sulayem’s leadership. The FIA has not announced any sanctions or disclosed how much money Red Bull overspent.

“It really is on top of my list of the best tracks in the world,” Alfa Romeo’s Valtteri Bottas said. And I must say, I love the (Texas) accent.” The sport is growing as a whole in terms of how we put on the show.” “Super reactive in the high speed and so good on the brakes,” he said. That includes France’s Pierre Gasly, who is a fan of visiting Austin. There was much speculation over whether the presence of a second U.S. “This crowd just keeps growing year on year,” Hamilton said. “As you know, I need to have a good Abu Dhabi (next month) to secure my superlicense,” Sargeant said after practice. Don’t be surprised to see filming take place with actual F1 cars on some Grand Prix weekends in the near future. Seven-time F1 champion Lewis Hamilton is listed as a co-producer of the film, which was acquired by Apple Studios. Perhaps a briefing to discuss some key developments in the sport? There’s been talk Sargeant, 21, could replace Nicholas Latifi at Williams next season and thus finally give the United States another driver on the F1 grid.

IndyCar champion Alex Palou realized his dream of driving a Formula One car with McLaren in F1 practice at Circuit of the Americas in Austin.

“Lately he has been super hard to beat for me,” Magnussen said. “You have to be sensible, keep it together and do a sensible job. “So that’s not a good narrative to be putting out …. Giovinazzi, who has 67 career F1 starts and is now a reserve driver for Ferrari, had a miserable session driving for Haas’ Kevin Magnussen. “It was fast!” he said. (But) I have a career in IndyCar, we’ve been successful and I want to get as many championships as possible.” “I embraced every single second of it,” he said. He drove it deep into the braking zones and corners to get everything he could out of his track time. He drove Friday in place of Nicholas Latifi, who is not being retained by Williams for 2023. Sargeant is currently third in the F2 feeder series. “As a racing driver who likes motorsport, F1 is where you want to go. Palou was the biggest name in the bunch.
