@formularacers_ Most likely will have to give the position back.

[Daniel Valente 🏎️ @F1GuyDan]

The Saudi Grand Prix continues to have a 100% chance of a safety car.

[MotorSphere @motor_sphere]

@formularacers_ Both drivers seem fine.

[MotorSphere @motor_sphere]

@F1 Not sure Verstappen was ahead at the apex for this one.

🚗 Car of the Day 🚗

Oullim Spirra EX (2010–2015) 🇰🇷

🔹Engine: 4.6L supercharged V8 (Hyundai-based)
🔹Power: ~500–600 hp (varies by trim)
🔹0–100 km/h: ~3.5 sec
🔹Top Speed: ~310 km/h
🔹Weight: ~1,320 kg

South Korea’s first proper supercar, the Spirra began as the Proto Spirra concept and was later refined by Oullim Motors into a full-fledged performance machine. With a mid-mounted, Hyundai-derived V8 and custom carbon-fiber bodywork, it offered legit supercar credentials. Only a small number were built, making it one of the rarest and boldest ventures in Korean automotive history.

🚗 Fast Fact! ⚡

The original Mini Cooper was so small and nimble, it could be parked sideways in tight city spots, and in the 1960s, it famously won the Monte Carlo Rally multiple times, defeating far more powerful rivals with clever engineering and razor-sharp handling.

@formularacers_ Seems like the progress they made last year somehow managed to vanish. Quite a disappointing start for them.

[MotorSphere @motor_sphere]

@formularacers_ One of the best season starts.

[MotorSphere @motor_sphere]

@formularacers_ Verstappen's and Gasly's

[MotorSphere @motor_sphere]

@F1BigData And all races this season were won from pole.

[MotorSphere @motor_sphere]

@formularacers_ Williams really have a great chance to take 5th this year if they start to get 2 drivers in Q3 on a consistent basis.

[MotorSphere @motor_sphere]

@formularacers_ Seems like he started to adapt to the car finally. Too bad Albon missed out on Q3 and Williams, once again have only one driver in top 10.

[MotorSphere @motor_sphere]

@F1 We really can count him out. What a performance that was.

[MotorSphere @motor_sphere]

@formularacers_ This season really keeps delivering.

[MotorSphere @motor_sphere]

Top 10 after Q3

P1 - Verstappen
P2 - Piastri
P3 - Russell

@formularacers_ He is no longer human.

[MotorSphere @motor_sphere]

@F1 A bit too much kerb and it's the end of qualifications.

[MotorSphere @motor_sphere]

@ESPNF1 Quite unfortunate for McLaren.
