Crees will return to the series following his aborted Porsche Supercup campaign to race one of the Warwickshire squad’s Vauxhall Astras.

The three-time race winner and 2020 championship runner-up endured a torrid campaign last year, in which he scored just one podium as he struggled for pace in the first half of the season on his two-year-old Yamaha in Petronas SRT colours.

F1 teams were caught by surprise at last week’s pre-season Barcelona test by the way that their cars suffered some extreme bouncing down the straights, thanks to the aero properties of the 2022 challengers. The phenomenon, which also occurred the last time ground effect was in F1 in the early 1980’s, is trigged by downforce

Colton Herta is a pleasure to interview, primarily because he can’t help telling the truth.
