Hyundai to discuss expansion to four WRC cars in 2025

Опубликовано от ASPPA IMAGES ANO


Hyundai has not ruled out the possibility of running a fourth car in the next year’s World Rally Championship, with a decision likely to come at Rally Japan.

Hyundai’s top management will be heading to this weekend’s WRC season finale where it is understood discussions regarding its plans for next year will be held.

The team is expected to field three significantly updated i20 N Rally1 machines next year with Thierry Neuville and Ott Tanak already confirmed to pilot two entries. 

The driver line-up for its third car is yet to be confirmed, although M-Sport’s Adrien Fourmaux has been heavily linked to the seat that has this year been shared by Dani Sordo, Andreas Mikkelsen and Esapekka Lappi.  

However, a fourth i20 N could also be on the cards for Hyundai next year according to team principal Cyril Abiteboul, who previously outlined wishes to add another car to the team’s Rally1 fleet last year.

This option for a potential fourth car is among the discussions to be held this weekend and if it is given the green light, it could add an extra curveball regarding Hyundai’s driver line-up.  

“We are close [with our 2025 plans] but after Japan that [announcement] will be coming. We have said to all crews that we want to draw a line after this season, which has been a good season, and look at next year and the ambition of that and discuss that,” Abiteboul told Motorsport.com.

“We have some people coming from Hyundai’s headquarters this weekend at Rally Japan so that will also be an opportunity for them to be part of the discussion and come to certain conclusions for next year about the set-up, drivers and cars. 

“I still have the ambition that we could have a fourth car in our line-up and that is one of the discussions we will have over the course of this weekend and that could have an impact on our driver choices.”

When pressed further on the topic of entering four Rally1 cars next year, Abiteboul suggested that the extra car would most likely be entered in selected events.      

“The plan is not made but we are thinking maybe certain events, selected events,” he added. «It is something I would like to try and do for a number of reasons, not least because I think Toyota will line up a large number of cars for next year.”

Honda defends decision to not bring 2025 MotoGP prototype to Barcelona test

Опубликовано от ASPPA IMAGES ANO


Honda has provided an explanation for not bringing any substantial updates to its MotoGP bike in Tuesday’s official test in Barcelona.

While rival manufacturers took big steps in their preparations for the forthcoming season during the seven hours of running at Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya, Honda did not have its 2025 bike on hand to test, nor did it have any major new parts available to evaluate.

The situation particularly angered factory rider Joan Mir, who said: «The reality is that I didn’t have a lot of things to test, I had already tested everything before. I’ve done 70 laps with things I’ve tested at least twice.”

The unavailability of new parts at Honda was evident in the results, with its best runner Johann Zarco finishing 10th on the LCR-entered RC213V. Mir and team-mate Luca Marini ended up even further down in 15th and 18th on the factory bikes.

However, HRC boss Alberto Puig insisted there was a valid reason behind the Japanese marque taking a conservative approach in Barcelona.

Puig explained that Honda had been able to privately run several new components over the course of the year thanks to the concession system, and thus it did not find it sensible to bring anything notable to the official test.

«The 2025 prototype is built when you have something that fits you,» Puig told DAZN.

«As we have done so many tests during the year, it didn’t make sense to bring the prototype here. During the year we have been trying many things, and it didn’t make sense to bring a ‘black’ bike here, when we have had a ‘black’ bike for a large part of the year.» 

Honda will conduct a private test in Jerez later this month, when some new upgrades that are in the pipeline for 2025 could finally be ready. But the Barcelona test was seen as crucial for manufacturers as it allowed them to run direct comparisons with data gathered from the previous weekend’s race at the same circuit.

Puig revealed that Honda’s focus in Barcelona was to understand and fix the chattering issue that has plagued Mir in the final months of the 2024 season.

«We had three important things to test, which we have been testing during the year, but we do not have a prototype as such,» he said.

«We work with different issues of the bike, for stability, braking, vibrations. It has not been easy to solve the vibrations. It’s not your typical chattering, it’s something bigger. It conditions the riders a lot. It is what has us most worried.”

Honda ended the season dead last in the championship on 75 points, 49 behind its nearest rival Yamaha.

LCR and HRC likewise finished 10th and 11th in the teams’ table, while Honda’s best-placed rider Zarco could only muster 17th place in the standings.

However, there was a visible improvement in Honda’s pace since September, allowing Zarco to break into the top 10 in two of the final six grands prix of the season.

«We end the year with the feeling of having made progress,» said Puig. «The bike didn’t turn very well, and after Misano it started to do so – now it turns well.”

Honda was boosted in Barcelona by the arrival of three-time grand prix winner Aleix Espargaro as a new test rider. Espargaro ended up 14th-quickest in the one-day test, ahead of both Mir and Marini.

Asked for his first impressions of the former Aprilia star, Puig said: «Aleix has the speed. We are very happy with how he has conveyed the opinion of his bike, in a very clear and direct way. I liked the forcefulness with which he spoke, very impartial. It has given us very interesting information.”

Сейвуд: Из-за Переса сотрудники Red Bull потеряют 40% годовых бонусов

Опубликовано от ASPPA IMAGES ANO


Авторитетный журналист Формулы 1 Джо Сейвуд заявил, что внутри Red Bull зреет недовольство Серхио Пересом среди рядовых сотрудников. Сильнее всего мексиканским пилотом недоволен младший персонал, поскольку они больше всего потеряют в деньгах из-за невыразительных результатов гонщика, которые сказываются на позициях австрийского коллектива в Кубке конструкторов.

«Вы знаете, что сотрудники Red Bull из-за Переса потеряли 40% своих бонусов, что для некоторых из них, находящихся на нижнем конце шкалы доходов — огромные деньги. 40% их бонуса — это большие деньги в процентном отношении. И всё это потому, что они уже фактически скатились на третье место в Кубке конструкторов из-за результатов Серхио.

Как вы думаете, все эти люди, тысяча человек, которые работают в Red Bull, будут рады тому, что их бонус урезан на 40% из-за того, что кто-то не смог добиться результатов после их работы?», — заявил Джо Сейвуд в подкасте Missed Apex F1.

Toyota opts against hiring Leupen replacement for 2025 WEC campaign

Опубликовано от ASPPA IMAGES ANO


Toyota is not planning to replace Rob Leupen as team director of its World Endurance Championship squad for next season.

It has revealed that the duties at the race track undertaken by the Dutchman, who is leaving Toyota Gazoo Racing Europe in Cologne after 30 years of service, will be taken up by existing team members.

TGRE vice-chairman Kazuki Nakajima explained that the plan is “to spread the responsibility with not only one successor”.

The three-time Le Mans 24 Hours winner, who moved into a management role after his retirement from the cockpit at the end of 2021, took on Leupen’s role at this month’s 2024 WEC finale in Bahrain.

He stressed that Leupen’s departure, which was announced the day before the Bahrain event started, “shouldn’t change too much for the race team”.

“I don’t expect to have a new face in the team; maybe we will have a slightly different structure,” he said.

He pointed out that TGR also has Kamui Kobayashi as team principal, a role he combines with driving, and David Floury as technical director.

Leupen, 60, is also standing down as managing director of TGRE, and it is likely he will be replaced from within, although Nakajima refused to go into detail.

“I think we have good people in our company who deserve to take some responsibility, but I will not talk about the possibilities,” he said.

Nakajima name-checked Peter Hesse, who took the role of director of business development and customer motorsport in February of this year.

Leupen is leaving TGRE, which was formerly known as Toyota Motorsport GmbH (TMG), as part of a management restructure that began earlier in the year with Pascal Vasselon being relieved of the technical directorship he had held since 2006.

Read Also:

Toyota recruited Leupen in 1995 for a human resources role and he moved up the company structure to consecutively become general manager, director of business operations and, from 2015, managing director.

He was referred to as either team or race director in the context of the WEC operation on the Japanese marque’s return to top-flight sportscar racing on the rebirth of the series in 2012.

Leupen is leaving TGRE at the end of the year, but agreed to step down from his operational role within the WEC team prior to Bahrain.

Aston Martin announces WEC Hypercar drivers, won’t make 2025 Daytona 24

Опубликовано от ASPPA IMAGES ANO


Aston Martin has revealed the first drivers for its 2025 World Endurance Championship campaign at the same time as confirming the Valkyrie AMR-LMH will miss January’s Daytona 24 Hours.

Harry Tincknell and Alex Riberas have been named in the two Hypercar class entries by Aston Martin and The Heart of Racing factory team that will represent the British marque in both the WEC and the IMSA SportsCar Championship next year.

Two-time Le Mans 24 Hours class winner Tincknell joins the Aston line-up after playing a key role in the development of the Valkyrie Le Mans Hypercar in his capacity as a member of the Multimatic Motorsports driver roster.

Canadian-headquartered Multimatic co-developed the AMR-LMH and is a service-provider for a team that will be known as Aston Martin THOR.

Factory driver Riberas is moving over from THOR’s Aston Martin GT squad, which he joined in 2020 and has since taken four GT Daytona Pro wins in IMSA and one in WEC LMGT3.

Aston announced the first drivers for the Valkyrie on Thursday ahead of the scheduled reveal of the 2025 WEC entry list on Friday.

Teams are required to nominate at least one name per car on the submission of their entries.

Tincknell, who claimed his second Le Mans victory driving a works Aston Martin Vantage GTE in GTE Pro in 2020, described the chance to return to the manufacturer to race the Valkyrie as “an absolute honour” and “a pinch-yourself moment”.

“I believe the car will be a firm fan favourite with its amazing looks and the incredible sound of the V12 engine,” said the 33-year-old Briton.

“It’s been exciting to be part of the initial development testing, and the DNA of the car feels strong.”

Riberas, who first raced for the nascent THOR squad under the Team Seattle banner in IMSA in 2014, said that it is “a great honour to be chosen as a driver for such an exciting project”.

“I have been part of THOR for the past 10 years and to be able to continue my journey with them, now at the pinnacle of endurance racing, is simply a dream come true,” continued the 31-year-old Spaniard.

Aston Martin is reviving the race numbers #007 and #009, which marks the use of its cars by fictional double-agent James Bond, for the Valkyrie WEC campaign.

Aston won the GT1 class at Le Mans with a factory DBR9 bearing #009 in 2007 and 2008. Tincknell is listed in #007 and Riberas in #009.

Aston Martin’s announcement does not go into detail on the decision to miss Daytona.

It states only that the Valkyrie AMR-LMH will make its IMSA debut in March at the Sebring 12 Hours, round two of the series, rather than in the Daytona season-opener.

Aston talked about a Daytona 2024 debut for the racing Valkyrie on the launch of the programme in October 2023, but the rhetoric changed in the summer and it refused to confirm that it would be present at the opening round of the IMSA series.

A change in the WEC regulations is understood to be behind its reticence to confirm its participation at Daytona and its eventual decision not to give the car its debut in a 24-hour race.

Aston and THOR originally planned to field solo entries in both WEC and IMSA, but was forced to expand its world championship attack after a new rule mandating two-car entries from manufacturers competing in the Hypercar class was confirmed at Le Mans in June.

It stated as recently as this month’s 2024 WEC finale that the homologation of the AMR-LMH would be completed in time to contest Daytona on 25-26 January, while drawing back from a commitment to take part.

The identity of the drivers who will form the remainder of the THOR line-up across its three entries in WEC and IMSA is unclear.

The team and Aston have stressed that their search would begin within their own twin rosters of drivers.

So far they has admitted that the Valkyrie has been driven by Tincknell and Riberas, Marco Sorensen, Mario Farnbacher, Ross Gunn and Romain De Angelis, as well as by Aston stalwart Darren Turner and Stefan Mucke, who was formerly with the marque, in the early shakedown phase.

It is also believed that further drivers have taken part in testing of the Valkyrie since its first run in July, during which time it has completed 12,500km (7,750 miles).

THOR team principal Ian James has hinted that there could be significant crossover between the line-ups for the two series, which only clash once, in May with Spa and Laguna Seca, over the course of 2025.

Норрис: Я не был готов сражаться с Red Bull и Ферстаппеном

Опубликовано от ASPPA IMAGES ANO


Британский гонщик McLaren Ландо Норрис признал, что в 2024 году был не готов к сражению за титул с Максом Ферстаппеном из Red Bull, а также к тому, что голландец и его команда смогут со старта создать серьёзный отрыв.

«Мы начали сезон третьей, четвертой по скорости командой. Мы были такими долгое время, а Red Bull были чрезвычайно доминирующими, более доминирующими, чем любая другая команда в течение большей части сезона. Мы были быстрыми и, вероятно, одной из самых быстрых команд иногда, но с гораздо меньшим отрывом — создать разницу, которую смогли создать Red Bull в начале года, практически невозможно.

Я думаю, было много гонок, где мы не выступили на том уровне, который нам был нужен, как команде. Сильверстоун, например, это тот этап, где мы, вероятно, должны были получить победный дубль. Есть гонки, где как команда мы не выступили на том уровне, который нам был нужен, как команде-победителю чемпионата мира, но также было много случаев, когда я не выступил на том уровне, на котором мне нужно было выступить, чтобы выиграть чемпионат.

Я, вероятно, не был полностью готов сражаться с Red Bull и Максом Ферстаппеном в начале года. Думаю, сейчас я готов, и, вероятно, уже слишком поздно это делать. Может быть, в прошлом были другие гонщики, которые были готовы к такому. Но никто не выходил против Макса в столь ранней стадии своей карьере и не начинал борьбу в середине сезона, и не оказывал, я думаю, довольно серьёзного сопротивления.

Так что я сделал всё, что мог. Я выступил недостаточно хорошо. И я всегда это признавал. И я думаю, что Макс, вероятно, один из лучших гонщиков в Формуле 1, и я не думаю, что вы, вероятно, получите гонщика лучше Ферстаппена когда-либо в Формуле 1 снова», — заявил Ландо Норрис.

The WRC title balancing act facing Neuville and Hyundai in Japan

Опубликовано от ASPPA IMAGES ANO


Thierry Neuville has opened up on the balancing act he faces in Japan to secure a maiden World Rally Championship crown and contribute to Hyundai’s manufacturers’ title bid.

Neuville heads into the season finale as the heavy favourite to claim what would be a career-defining title, with a 25-point lead over Hyundai team-mate Ott Tanak. The Belgian only needs to score six points to seal the championship.

The task however is far from simple given Japan’s asphalt roads are among the WRC’s most challenging where small but critical mistakes can happen on the slippery and twisty roads.

Adding to this dynamic, Hyundai holds a 15-point lead in the manufacturers’ title fight against Toyota as the Korean marque seeks to secure its first title since 2020.

When asked how he was feeling ahead of the rally given what is at stake, Neuville told Motorsport.com: «I’m excited, but excited to finish this rally on a good note.

«There is nothing more we can do. Everything has been checked and done and the unpredictability will be road conditions tomorrow, so we cannot do much at the moment about that.»

Neuville admits he will have to strike a balance in regard to risks while ensuring he doesn’t fall into the trap of driving too slowly. The five-time WRC title runner-up is also fully aware of how Japan’s roads can bite after crashing out of last year’s edition while fighting for the win.

«I will follow my feeling on the first couple of stages and then basically we will adapt depending on the results of the other drivers and then we will manage,» he said.

«At the beginning of the rally we will just follow my feeling like we did in shakedown this morning. The target was just to try to follow our normal rhythm.

«It’s like a balance between obviously pushing and taking risks or driving too slow as well. We also want to be there and support the team in case we can be helpful for the manufacturers’ title. That will depend a lot on my team-mates as well, I expect them to be faster than us this weekend.»

While Tanak’s title hopes are slim, any problem for Neuville could hand the Estonian a golden opportunity to claim a second world title.

The 2019 world champion admits there is a lot of pressure on his shoulders as he will also carry the burden of leading the team’s attack to secure the manufacturers’ title.

«It’s still a lot of pressure. The drivers’ title is kind of theoretical, but the manufacturers’ really very much open and I definitely can’t let Toyota to take a 1-2-3 like they did last year, so we clearly need to be in the mix and competitive with performance. So it’s still a lot to do to defend the position,» Tanak told Autosport.

Hyundai is refusing to let complacency creep into its preparations for the event despite the fact it has already secured the drivers’ crown and is handily placed for a title double.

«The mood is good. I can feel that there is a positive vibe, positive attitude, which is good, but I think it’s also my role to make sure that we are not taking things for granted,” said team principal Cyril Abiteboul.

«The last thing that we want to happen is a reliability issue or execution issue, and on the reliability side we have been good this year. Once again I said my three words in the team briefing yesterday: reliability, reliability, reliability.

«Thierry will be fairly risk-averse and we need to understand that we should not be frustrated if he’s not as high as what we would like in the classification.

«I think he wants to contribute to our objective of the weekend, which includes having a go at the championship. For the other two [Tanak and Andreas Mikkelsen] it’s very clear that they have nothing to do other than push and attack and do the best they can.»

Should Hyundai falter in its bid to secure the team’s title, rivals Toyota are waiting to pounce.

The Japanese brand is eager to salvage silverware from a difficult campaign with drivers Elfyn Evans, Takamoto Katsuta and Sebastien Ogier primed for an “all or nothing” approach to try and replicate last year’s podium lockout.

«I think it is all or nothing at the moment. We can only gain and we can’t lose more but to achieve that you have to keep the cars on the road, so we can’t afford mistakes,» said Toyota team principal Jari-Matti Latvala.

«We had a bit of a talk yesterday and the drivers know the situation. We need to work together and we need all the drivers to do a strong performance, then it is possible to achieve the manufacturers’ title. It is very difficult but it is not impossible.»
