Two names have stood out above the rest: that of Fernando Alonso and that of Dan Fallowsnew technical director. The team wants to give Fallows almost full power when it comes to car development. A figure similar to the one Red Bull has with Adrian Newley, Considered one of the great gurus of current Formula 1.

We all know what talented he is as a designerBut what people who haven’t worked with him don’t appreciate is how unassuming he is from a technical perspective: there’s no technical swagger about him.” “Newey ha...
Sentimentality aside, because I confess that In my “heart of the condo” live many cars that I am in love with, Dodge is a brand that I grew up with. Who didn’t help their grandfather or dad with the weekend “talacha” in the Dodge Dart, Dodge Valiant or the Dodge Challenger? Brake adjustment, spark plug change, change of a pesky gasoline filter that was always clogged; Or what about disassembling the huge plate that protected the air filter before accessing the carburetor and cleaning the points. Mechanics and pure nostalgia… For this reason, when Dodge announced the return of its most famous Muscle Cars, Dodge Charger and Dodge Challenger, in 2008, it was inevitable to contain my excitement as I was reunited with one of the cars with which I accentuated my tas...

A couple of years ago I introduced you to the history of the Anta cargo van developed by Volkswagen from Mexico for its exclusive commercialization in the domestic market between 1976-1978. Its production was carried out at the Puebla plant. One fact to consider is that this vehicle, of which only 3,600 copies were manufactured, approximatelyhas the honor of being the first front-wheel drive car for sale in the country of Volkswagen in Mexico and not the Caribbean (Golf MK1) as is popularly thought. Also, although the concept behind the Ant is very similar to that of the EA 489, it is actually a different model, since its internal code is that of the VW 200. Well then, a 1978 Ant became news when it was auctioned in the United States by Bring a Trailerwh...

Drifting a McLaren 720S while it’s not news, it is when it’s covered in Christmas lights. What’s the matter? It turns out that the influencer Alex Choi, took on the task of decorating a McLaren 720S with Christmas lights, as if it were a Christmas tree, and then began to drift it through the different streets of the city (it is not known specifically where , but it is in the USA). Choi covered the already ostentatious and striking 720S completely in lights, from the front splitter to the rear diffuser. The result is a very striking car, with so much brightness it is difficult to distinguish its design lines. Although despite this, it is fully recognizable as a McLaren. Video of the McLaren 720S covered in Christmas lights wa...

Daniel Ricciardo He lost his seat at McLaren and has not found another as a starter in Formula 1. For this reason he has returned to Red Bull, although behind Max Verstappen and Sergio Perez.

His contract ends in 2024, but their paths could part even sooner. Everything will depend, of course, on the performance of the motorcycle.

In it, Fernando Alonso I was in eighth place and Esteban Ocon It didn’t even appear in the top ten. Now the Formula 1 has published a new list, but this time the pilots themselves have voted.

It is striking that Sainz and ‘Checo’ are so far behind despite driving the best cars on the grid. First of all, as expected, it...
Technology is advancing by leaps and bounds in the automotive sector and one of the main objectives is to reduce casualties in accidents. That is why we see more and more security systems in vehicles, the well-known ADAS, many of them required by law in the European Union. However, sometimes it seems that progress has been made too fast, since it has been proven that the majority of users you do not understand or do not know how to use these driving aids. In a recent study of Consumer Reports, it was found that many drivers were not clear about what these systems are capable of doing. Neither know the meaning of the alerts that the vehicle gives them through screens or sounds. That ends up causing confusion and discomfort, so many end up disabling driving aids directly. It is the opposite ...
