Issue #666: FOURmidable

We start this week in the Canary Islands, as the FIA’s WRC delivered a blockbuster race with triumph accompanied by desolation for Toyota. David Ledbitter has all the details from a truly dramatic WRC Rally Islas Canarias. With us now in ‘race week’ for the Miami Grand Prix, we are days away until F1 returns from its enforced five-week-long slumber, and with anticipation growing, we’ve got all the talking points ahead of what promises to be a thrilling weekend in Miami. First up, in Start Your Engines, Jack Oliver Smith and James Phillips explore the growing intra-team battle at Mercedes, and how the Silver Arrows can avoid a repeat of the toxic Hamilton and Rosberg years. James then takes us through the rules “refinements” announced by the FIA, and a deep dive into their potential impact provided by a very select technical briefing from a leading F1 team that Motorsport Monday was lucky enough to attend. James then concludes his historical features for now with a look at the car that sent Williams into decline: the FW20, analysing how Williams spectacularly misread the 1998 regulations. In Formula E, Motorsport Monday was privileged to be invited to the Gen4 Unleashed event at Paul Ricard last week. Jack sat down with series stalwart and legend Lucas di Grassi to discuss the future of the series and the impact Gen4 will bring. Henry Cheal and Eden Hannigan then bring you MotoGP action from the Spanish Grand Prix in Jerez, that featured drama galore. 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!
