SV5-3787 CLAIMS FIRST A1881 WIN IN HUNGARY!

Hungaroring delivered one of the closest finishes in season, with SV5-3787 taking his first career victory ahead of AA_Mejg and a highly emotional third place for Bards. The Mercedes driver held off Mejg’s Visa RB by just 0.2 seconds at the flag, while Bards completed the podium in a Williams, marking his first top-three result of the season.


The feature race followed an intense sprint earlier in the day, where Mejg won ahead of SV5 and Rian, setting the tone for a strategic battle. In the main race, Mejg looked on course to control proceedings after starting from pole, but his two-stop strategy came undone one lap too late. That single lap proved decisive, allowing SV5 to execute a perfectly judged one-stop in the Mercedes and emerge just ahead in the closing moments. It was a calm, controlled drive under pressure and a breakthrough moment for a driver who has been knocking on the door all season.

Behind them, Bards produced a standout drive for Williams. Coming into the weekend after welcoming a daughter just a day earlier, he turned emotion into performance and secured his first podium of the season, drawing warm reactions across the paddock. Javinwain followed in fourth with a solid Red Bull run, quietly maximizing pace and staying out of trouble in a race where incidents were costly.

Gordini crossed the line fifth in the Ferrari after a race-long duel with Dunce. The pair traded positions and pressure throughout, but Gordini kept it clean and decisive, while Dunce brought the Aston Martin home sixth. Dunce was fortunate to escape damage late on when teammate Rollie launched an ambitious dive, an incident that summed up the fine margins of the race. Rollie continued but suffered underbody damage, limiting him to seventh, while Selecta, the innocent bystander in the clash, lost a wing yet still dragged his Mercedes to eighth.

Visa RB also featured in ninth through Mamoodev, stepping in as a reserve and scoring valuable points in Jordan’s absence. While Racing Bulls remain in control of the Constructors’ Championship, missing this race hurt Jordan in the drivers’ title fight, especially with Mejg continuing to pile on pressure at the top. Tvoje_mamkacz finished tenth for Ferrari after a quiet but tidy race, getting annoyed by Rollie's old-man defence. He was followed by Crunchypancake in the McLaren, who kept things steady amid the chaos.

Yeshurrun once again impressed with consistency in his rookie season, bringing the Kick Sauber home twelfth ahead of teammate Sir Ibbo. Both stayed out of the major incidents and capitalized on attrition ahead. The retirements were Scaparro, Inginne, and Rian. Scaparro showed what might have been his strongest pace in A1881 to date in the McLaren before a costly mistake damaged his front wing and later the rear wing, forcing retirement. Inginne’s Haas also failed to reach the finish, while Rian’s race ended after contact with SV5, an incident Rian claimed was intentional and which brought out the first safety car.

With two rounds remaining at Belgium and Silverstone, the championship picture is tightening. Mejg still leads the standings, but SV5’s win brings him firmly into the conversation, while Jordan’s absence has reopened the door in the title fight. In the Constructors’, Racing Bulls are just two points short of securing the crown, but Mercedes, buoyed by another strong team performance, were once again named team of the week and are not giving up the chase.

Hungary delivered strategy, emotion, and a photo finish. With Spa and Silverstone still to come, Season 21 is far from decided...

ENDRU SNATCHES DRAMATIC LAST-LAP WIN IN WET-DRY BELGIUM THRILLER

Image
Endru delivered a stunning victory at Spa for Williams, securing his first win of the season after a chaotic 44-lap race that transitioned from dry to wet in the final stages. He narrowly beat Ferrari’s NaeDangerDavid and Aston Martin’s AA_Mejg, who stormed from the very back of the grid after serving what can be called a “mental quali ban” to finish third... The Belgian Grand Prix began under dry skies, with NaeDangerDavid starting from pole and immediately defending hard. Endru, starting from P12, surged through the field, reaching second by lap five and managing his tires and fuel expertly. His early pace gave him a large advantage, but a mid-race safety car erased his 15-second lead. At the restart, Endru rebuilt a gap quickly but received a drive-through penalty that dropped him back. Determined to recover, he fought his way forward and reeled in David again—just as rain began to fall. The late rain turned the race into a high-risk strategy battle. David opted to pit for intermedi...

Showing the determination of a three-time champion, Mejg retook both positions and then managed the gap un...

SV5 MASTERS THE CARNAGE AT JEDDAH SEASON OPENER

Image
The Saudi Arabian GP kicked off the new season in brutal fashion, with SV5 taking a commanding win under the lights of Jeddah ahead of Bards and his teammate Selecta. The podium set the tone for a chaotic opener that was a likely scenario for Jeddah, more so when cockpit cam is forced... From pole, SV5 looked razor-sharp in his new Racing Bulls machinery, especially with the usual title heavyweights Jordan and Mejg absent, leaving the spotlight wide open. When the lights went out, that spotlight turned into a floodlight of chaos almost instantly. A massive first-lap incident at Turn 3 saw Justin clatter into NaeDangerDavid, with Elche also collected, triggering the first safety car and causing widespread damage down the field. Gordini was among those carrying wounds for the rest of the race, nursing underbody damage but somehow surviving it, having to pit on hards to change wing, which turned out to be a good choice with the second safety car. Up front, SV5, Bards in the Williams, and ...
