Rolex 24h Daytona:
Last weekend, one of the most prestigious endurance races took place, the 63rd Rolex 24h of Daytona. Porsche defended its victory after a year. Among the winning drivers of car #7 was Nick Tandy, who secured the endurance Grand Slam with this victory, which means that in the past he has already won races such as: 24h Nurburgring, 24h LeMans, 24h Spa and now also 24h Daytona. The LMPT category was won by crew #8, GTD PRO by crew #65 and GTD #13.
Pilot's vulgar language
The FIA has recently revised its rules regarding swearing and abusive behavior. Now, if a driver uses foul language, he can face a relatively large penalty. If the FIA repeatedly warns a driver about his foul language, the driver can be fined up to 120,000 euros, or even have his points deducted or be banned from the race.

Kimi Antonelli got his driver's license:
It may sound a bit strange that the future F1 racer didn't even have a driver's license yet, but that's how it is. In the past, this was the case with Max Verstappen, who made his debut at the age of 17. It's a bit of a paradox that drivers drive the fastest cars in the world before they can legally drive on the road. However, Kimi announced on his social media that he had successfully passed the test and now has a driver's license.

RB21 passed crash tests:
Before each season, every single-seater must pass FIA crash tests, and now racingnews365.com reports that the new Red Bull RB21 should successfully pass the FIA tests.
Ferrari continues testing with Hamilton:
Ferrari rented the Barcelona circuit for three days. Lewis and Charles drove yesterday, but today there were complications. According to the Skysports website, the accident was supposed to happen around 11 am local time today. Lewis should be fine, but his SF-23 had significant damage, in any case the car should be repairable and Antonio Giovinazzi and Dino Beganovic should get behind the wheel tomorrow.

However, this is not the first time that Lewis has crashed during testing with a new car, in the past it was in 2007, where he crashed with McLaren in Valencia, and in 2013, when he crashed with Mercedes in Jerez.
Yuki Tsunoda become a Red Bull reserve driver:
Another interesting thing that has happened in recent days is that Yuki Tsunoda has become a reserve driver for Red Bull, while Ayumu Iwasa has become a reserve driver for Racing Bulls.
