The circuit stretches 3.4 miles and features 16 turns. It’s known for fast corners, a smooth surface, and plenty of overtaking opportunities. Around 80% of a lap is spent cornering, so the tires struggle to last, and strategy can make a huge difference. Pirelli has nominated its mid-range C2, C3, and C4 compounds for the race, the same combination as last year. The weather can be quite changeable, and rain is often a feature in…

Over a year after it went on sale, the Tesla Cybertruck is still presenting issues that require recalls. A recall of 46,096 electric pickup trucks announced Tuesday deals with their stainless steel exteriors. The cant rail, one of the exterior trim pieces, can fall off, according to the NHTSA. That can pose a hazard to other road users. The stainless steel cant rail trim piece is attached to an electrocoated steel stamping with structural adhesive, according to recall documents.
