Welcome to Tuesday’s edition of the RaceFans round-up.

Comment of the day

Very few of our readers agreed with Juan Pablo Montoya’s claim Formula 1 drivers should be forbidden by the FIA from harshly criticising the series and its rules. Broderick was one of few who sided with him:

I strongly agree.

Sporting stars from all sports, think it’s fine to slate their sports who pay them handsomely.

Back on planet reality, you simply cannot openly criticise a work place back without severe consequences, goodness knows why sports stars should be allowed.

Novo-arvinger vil bygge racerbane i Padborg til 3,8 mia. kr.: Drømmen er Formel 1 (Dagbladet Borsen – Danish)

‘There are no race tracks in the Nordic countries that can hold a Formula 1 Grand Prix. A new mega project may change that. The main characters behind it want to build a Danish home track for motorsport with an arena with space for 100,000 spectators’

Is Korea ready for an F1 comeback? (The Korea Herald)

”F1 depends on attracting large numbers of tourists and spectators, but Yeongam was geographically remote and transportation access was limited,’ the official said. ‘Incheon is within about 30 minutes of Incheon Airport, has high-end accommodation nearby and already offers a well-developed surrounding environment with attractions visitors can enjoy.”

Van Langendonck goes from pits to victory in drying British F4 race (Formula Scout)

‘Rain before the start of the race had left the track damp, and the entire field started the formation lap on wet tyres. But roughly half the pack dived into pits at the end of the lap, including Van Langendonck and Tommy Harfield. The choice meant Van Langendonck traded his (eighth place) starting position for a start from the pits.’

Brown to lead Schumacher through month of May (Racer)

‘Few active race engineers have more experience at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway than Andy Brown, and that’s precisely why Rahal Letterman Lanigan Racing recruited the Englishman to lead Mick Schumacher during his first month of May.’

Roos: Long-awaited first BMW Hypercar victory a ‘Big Relief’ (Sportscar 365)

‘Last year, we had a very good start into the season, to be honest. This was working quite well. In Le Mans we were unlucky with technical issues on both cars. Then somehow it didn’t go well in the rest of the season with some issues we had.’
