Welcome to the Jalopnik Weekend Motorsports Roundup, where we let you know what’s going on in the world of racing, how to watch this weekend’s Formula 1, NASCAR and IndyCar races and where you can talk about it, all in one convenient place.
In case you missed it:
This is the first weekend of the year with wall-to-wall racing! The Bahrain Grand Prix will open the 2023 FIA Formula 1 World Championship season. Max Verstappen and Red Bull Racing are set for another season of domination, but maybe Ferrari can at least go down swinging this year. Mercedes is still in rebuild mode, but I wouldn’t count out a surprise or two. The midfield is going to be an all-out melee for fourth place. Formula 2 and Formula 3 will also be opening their seasons this weekend in the island kingdom.
The NTT IndyCar Series has its long-running season opener on the streets of St. Petersburg, Florida with an airport runway serving as the start-finish straight. NASCAR is visiting Las Vegas Motor Speedway, where every Cup Series car will carry a special decal commemorating Wendell Scott, NASCAR’s first Black driver. March 4th will mark 62 years exactly since Scott’s first race start on March 4th, 1962. Monster Energy Supercross has its marquee round at Daytona on Saturday night. Is there anything we’ve missed? Let us know in the comments!
