Tough start to the 2023 #f1 season for the Mercedes-AMG PETRONAS #f1 Team
The 2023 Formula One World Championship has begun in earnest. Last weekend, the premier class of motorsport embarked on its 74th campaign. The Bahrain Grand Prix was on the #f1 calendar for the 19th time after its debut in 2004 - with the Sakhir Grand Prix also being held on the Outer Circuit of the Bahrain International Circuit in 2020. Sunday evening's race under the Bahrain floodlights turned out to be a tough experience for the Mercedes-AMG PETRONAS #f1 Team. #lewishamilton moved up two places from seventh on the grid to fifth over the course of the 57-lap race, while his team-mate #georgerussell, who had started the first Grand Prix of the year from sixth on the grid, eventually crossed the finish line in seventh place. The second round of the season takes the team to Saudi Arabia in a fortnight's time (17 - 19 March), where #f1 will be visiting the Jeddah Corniche Circuit for the third time in its history.

Two wins in two races at GT America curtain-raiser

CRP #racing followed this up with another podium on Saturday with a P3 finish. The winner on this occasion was Memo Gidler (USA) in the #101 Mercedes-AMG GT3; the TKO Motorsports man had claimed the runner-up spot on the previous day
