The NTT IndyCar Series and Formula 1 delivered on entertaining racing in the Australian Grand Prix and the Good Ranchers 250 at Phoenix Raceway, respectively.
F1 showcased its new era of regulations at Albert Park with George Russell and Mercedes taking a strong advantage to open the season, while IndyCar returned to a legacy track for the first time since 2018 and had an excellent race with NASCAR sharing the weekend that featured Christian Rasmussen putting on a show for the fans.
That was until contact with Will Power ended his extraordinary day and tempers flared a bit post-race.
Kyle Benjamin and Wyatt Watson break down all the storylines out of both events and preview what’s to come for IndyCar’s inaugural Grand Prix of Arlington and F1’s upcoming Chinese Grand Prix.
