My friend Carlos is a brave man. One day he went from Mexico City to Laredo in an e-Tron which, you know, is totally electric. And an EV on the road, especially a long drive, takes time, planning and, well, some luck. The latter did not do him much good. Near the end of the trip, the GPS It marked 25 miles away from the hotel where he would put the car to charge. The Audi batteries pointed to a range of 37 miles which gave him a lot of peace of mind, until the Texan weather did its thing. A cold front, including a storm, dropped the temperature to negative numbers in a matter of minutes. And the e-Tron’s battery began to lose power like a gas tank with a major leak. 35, 32, 29 miles. The nerve was growing in her mind as she desperately searched the GPS for a nearest charg...
Bit. Very little. That was missing. That was what was missing Fernando Alonsoin Canada. Yes, because it was back. In a great turn with the Aston Martin. In a very good lap that would have allowed him, as in 2022, to have the first row of the grid with a new second position. But not. It could not be.

Ford’s plan for the Dakar The announcement was made by Ford Performance, the sports division of the “Oval” which, for the first time, ...

He Canadian Grand Prix had a chaotic classification in which the rain was the main protagonist and left us a beautiful session in which the result was the same, with max verstappen in the first position. The Dutchman continues to bring joy to Red Bull. He chose the correct tire at each moment of the session, he was the great beneficiary of the red flag and took a new pole, also with the addition that the second classified is not a direct rival. The other side of the coin is again Sergio Perez. The Mexican stayed, without apparent failure, in Q2 and will start 12th. The fact that confirms Pérez’s bad run is that he is the first Red Bull driver since 2008 to stay out of Q3 in three consecutive Grand Prix. The surprise of the day was made Nico Hulkenberg. The Haas driver will start seco...

Carlos Sainz goes from research to research. After the third free practice session, the man from Madrid had to appear before the commissioners for disturbing Alex Albon in the chicane of the ‘Wall of Champions’ in Canada. Finally, the Ferrari driver emerged unscathed from the investigationbut in Q1 history repeated itself. Carlos and Yuki Tsunoda were practically standing still in the middle of the floor when Pierre Gasly appeared at more than 300 kilometers per hour. The Frenchman had to dodge Sainz by going off the trackwhich prevented him from improving his time, so he salrá from the seventeenth position in the grill. After the incident, Gasly took out all his anger against Sainz through the radio. “It should be disqualified! It was coming at 300 an hour! What was I th...
In so many years, and with such an impact on world culture, it was to be expected that hundreds of songs have been created that refer to or mention Ford or any of its products; In fact, let’s remember that Carlos Vives has just included a musical theme (The Ford Car) in his most recent musical production. Now, the international novelty is that the blue oval decided to create a playlist (playlist) from Spotify with the repertoire limited to “only” 120 songs, (although it seems that in the end a bonus track) one for each year that the company that gave the car its serial and massive production turns today. Ford 120th Anniversary Playlist includes songs that celebrate the Ford T to the V8 Flathea. With so many years and artists, the list is eclectic a...

Carlos Sainz He had a bad practice in the third free practice session at the Canadian Grand Prix. The Ferrari driver had two clashes on the track with Alex Albón that earned him an investigation by the commissioners and shortly after he ended up against the wall. The session had started with quite adverse weather with heavy rain, but the Spaniard had adapted very well to the conditions. Sainz was lapping fast through the intermediates, but on his preparation laps he cut into the road with Alex Albon. On the first occasion, he was very slow in the chicane from the entrance to the finish line, something that caused the anger of Alex Albon on the radio: “As always, very dangerous the Ferrari. He has stopped in the middle of the chicane”. The one from Williams received confirmation...
