Issue #681: Two Wheeled Amada!

We were on the ground at Silverstone this weekend for MotoGP. Eden Hannigan reports on how Raul Fernandez led an Aprilia masterclass in MotoGP's return from the summer break. The Trackhouse rider held off Jorge Martin and Marco Bezzecchi for a maiden victory, having also finished runner-up to Martin in Saturday's Sprint. Elsewhere, Oliver Bell reports on a rain-soaked weekend north of the border at Knockhill that saw a coming-of-age moment, seventh heaven and a first win of the season all in the same weekend. Looking ahead to Formula E finale in London next weekend - a double-header will crown both champions and close out the GEN3 era at ExCeL. Nine drivers remain in contention, with Jake Dennis leading Mitch Evans by two points and reigning champion Oliver Rowland lurking in fourth. Jack Smith previews what promises to be a historic weekend at the London Docklands. Jack also details his fantastic experience in hitching a passenger ride in the new Lola T70S, driven by F1 legend Johnny Herbert. Jack offers his unfiltered view of a car that is focused on speed and nothing else, and his conversations with Herbert while lapping at insane speeds. We haven’t forgotten about Formula 1 this week though! With the news that Germany could return to the F1 calendar, James Phillips documents the challenges any comeback would face in this week’s Start Your Engines. Sticking with F1, James also has a deep dive into a contract termination all the way back in 2001 that had implications for a driver and one of the sport’s most iconic teams. Jack then joins James in reviewing one of the first cars they both saw in F1 – the Williams FW16. Both have unique insights into what this complex piece of F1 history means to them, and why it still holds mass appeal over 30 years later. And, as always, we have all the news, views and stories in this week's edition of the most widely read weekly motorsport magazine in the world!
