Welcome to Jalopnik’s Weekend Motorsports Roundup, where we tell you what’s happening in the world of racing, how to watch this weekend’s Formula 1, NASCAR and Sebring careers, and where you can talk about it all in one convenient place.
In case you missed it:
The 12 Hours of Sebring are this weekend in Florida and will feature the second competitive start for the new GTP class at the IMSA WeatherTech Championship. The FIA World Endurance Championship is also starting its 2023 season at Sebring. Ferrari 499P will make his racing debut at the WEC 1000 Sebring. Combined between the two series, there will be up to 20 hours of sports car racing over the weekend.
Formula 1 is heading to Saudi Arabia for a high-speed street circuit race under floodlights. Despite having been poor in recent days, Max Verstappen is expected to win the second race of the season and extend his championship lead. Charles Leclerc already faces a ten-place grid penalty after Ferrari was forced to replace the control electronics on Leclerc’s car.
The NASCAR season continues as all three national series head to Atlanta Motor Speedway. The Cup Series points standings faced a major shakeup as Hendrick Motorsports faced stiff penalties for bringing illegally modified hood shutters to Phomynothing last weekend. Also, the Supercross season continues in Detroit on Saturday night. Is there something we have missed? Tell us in the comments!
