Mandatory Credit: Mark J. Rebilas-Imagn Images NASCAR has started trying to chip away at the testimony of team expert Edward Snyder, with Larry Buterman suggesting Snyder incorrectly told the jury that F1 doesn't have non-compete clauses with teams and incorrectly said that NASCAR started paying tracks for exclusivity in '16. " Adam Stern (@A_S12) December 8, 2025 Among his claims, Snyder also pointed to NASCAR's control over the three elements of the sport: racetracks, race teams, and race cars. And he shed light on how NASCAR has taken steps to "reduce the likelihood and viability of entry" from a competitor series, which thus caused financial harm to the teams beyond 23XI Racing and Front Row Motorsports. "To me, as an economist, this situation bothers me,…...

The 26-year-old won the F1 title after a third place finish in the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix gave him the points needed to make the triumph possible. He was honoured with a pedestrianised street called Lando Lane named after him at Clark's Village shopping outlet in Street, near his hometown of Glastonbury. Among those gathered to watch the unveiling of the new road sign was Norris' former go-karting instructor, Rob Dodds, who said the win was an "amazing story".

39+ min ago (578+ words) Lando Norris will run the No.1 on his car in 2026 after winning this year's drivers' championship at the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix. The reigning champion has traditionally run the No.1 on their car, but a change in 2014 to allocate drivers with career-long numbers meant there was an option to stick with the number chosen by the driver at the start of their F1 career. Lewis Hamilton opted to continue to use No.44 throughout his championship winning years (with the exception of occasional one-off practice sessions with No.1) while Max Verstappen has proudly run the No.1 for the last four seasons after winning the title four times in a row. In an interview with Sky Sports on Monday, Norris said he planned to switch from No.4 to No.1 next year - mainly to symbolize the efforts of his mechanics and engineers this year....

After reminding the four-times world champion that he had lost out to his McLaren rival by two points,a reporter asked the Red Bull driver whether he regretted an incident with Mercedes' George Russell at the Spanish Grand Prix in June. That clash triggered a 10-second penalty and dropped the Dutchman from fifth to 10th -- the loss of nine, precious points. "You forget all the other stuff that happened in my season. The only thing you mention is Barcelona. I knew that would come. You're giving me a stupid grin…...

1+ hour, 4+ min ago (987+ words) The slow pace of the federal antitrust suit lodged against NASCAR continued Monday at the start of the second week of the trial, with high-profile witnesses not expected to make it to the stand anytime soon. Jeffrey Kessler, lead attorney for the two teams suing NASCAR, indicated he plans to call NASCAR Commissioner Steve Phelps after an expected lengthy testimony from an accountant who will analyze team finances. After Phelps, Kessler said he will call Hall of Fame team owner Richard Childress and finally NASCAR chairman Jim France. But the case is moving far too slow for U.S. District Judge Kenneth Bell's liking and he's repeatedly asked both 23XI Racing and Front Row Motorsports, as well as NASCAR, to speed it up. Monday was already off to a delayed start because Bell had to open court in the Western District of North…...

Norris, 26, typically races with the No. 4 on the nose of his car. But the Briton gladly will accept the honor of donning the No. 1 next season. "It's tradition, it's there for a reason," Norris told Sky Sports News. "It's there because you can go and try grab it and you can work hard to try and get it.
