Issue #677: Chinese Revival?

Sachsenring - Donington Park - Interlagos. This week saw Motorsport span four continents in what has been one of the most extraordinary weekends of the 2026 season. To kick things off - we have an exclusive interview with Zhou Guanyu, who sat down with James Phillips to take us through his year at Cadillac as test and reserve driver, as well as voicing his clear intention to return to the F1 grid. Sticking with F1, Jack Oliver Smith argues why Max Verstappen could be a perfect fit for McLaren, while James previews what has all the hallmarks of a potentially classic Belgian Grand Prix. Over in Brazil, in WEC, Phil Oakley and Tereza ?erná report on a race at Interlagos where BMW claimed victory, Ferrari recovered superbly to finish second and a Cadillac pit stop error proved costly. Meanwhile at the Sachsenring - where Marc Marquez is simply royalty - the Ducati ace claimed win number 102 at a circuit he has made his own, setting a new lap record in qualifying and claiming a record-breaking 19th Sprint victory on Saturday. Henry Cheal covers qualifying, the Sprint and the race in full. At Donington Park, WorldSBK delivered a shock - Bulega's long unbeaten run came to an end in Race 1, though he recovered to win Race 2 and seal the manufacturers' title in the process. Yari Montella completed a hat-trick of podiums across the weekend. Eden Hannigan was trackside to bring us all three race reports. And finally, David Ledbitter previews the WRC Rally Estonia, with Takamoto Katsuta set to start his 100th WRC event. 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!
