FIA president Mohammed bin Sulayem has dropped a major hint that the new F1 engine rules for 2026 are set to be finalised giving Porsche and Audi the green light to enter the sport.
The #88 AKKODIS-ASP AMG-Mercedes of Raffaele Marciello, Jules Gounon and Daniel Juncadella has held out for a terrific 2022 24 Hours of Spa victory, while Valentino Rossi successfully reached the chequered flag in his first round-the-clock race in 17th.
Defending 24 Hours of Spa winners Iron Lynx Ferrari landed the top spot at the end of a twice-interrupted pre-qualifying session at Spa-Francorchamps, while Valentino Rossi’s VR46 WRT squad could only manage 59th of the 66 entrants.
