F3’s Arvid Lindblad completed a clean sweep of the weekend despite wet weather playing spoilsport at the British Grand Prix in Silverstone. Conditions were similar at NASCAR’s Chicago street circuit but Alex Bowman stuck it out to take his first win of the season. MotoGP saw a new championship leader in Francesco Bagnaia after the German race.
Alex Bowman claimed his first win of the season in dramatic fashion as he defended from a fast-approaching Tyler Reddick until the last lap of the wet-weather race. In what was supposed to be a 75-lap race in the streets of Chicago, rain delays caused it to end based on the cut-off time. Cautions were plenty because of cars sliding around and colliding with the barriers and with each other.
While some cars opted to put on slick tyres in hopes of the track clearing up, Bowman was among the handful of cars which remained on wet weather tyres, as compared to Reddick who switched to slicks. A win to remember. Once the last caution was cleared by Lap 54 for a restart, only four minutes remained on the clock with the Hendrick Motorsports driver making the most of it and taking the chequered flag by nearly three seconds to secure him a playoff spot.
Pato O’Ward edged championship leader Alex Palou in a hard-fought battle to win the Mid-Ohio race, the first of the new hybrid era. The Arrow Mclaren driver crossed the finish line with a gap of 0.499s to Palou, moving up to second place in the points table.
REPOST TO CONGRATULATE PATO O'WARD.
