Lewis Hamilton

After a year and a half of chasing his first Ferrari victory, Lewis Hamilton reminded everyone why he's a seven-time world champion. As soon as Ferrari gave him a competitive package, the Briton seized his opportunity.

Kimi Antonelli

Although the Italian's June wasn't quite as strong as his dominant May, Kimi Antonelli still ends the month leading the championship. He claimed an emphatic victory in Monaco and could easily have added two more podiums in Spain and Austria, if not for an engine failure in Barcelona.

George Russell

June began terribly for George Russell, who suffered a major blow to his title hopes in Canada and Monaco. But he bounced back impressively, taking pole position in both Barcelona and Spielberg. A second place followed by a victory - scoring more points than his team-mate on both occasions - has firmly put him back in the championship fight.

Max Verstappen

Red Bull is still not where it needs to be for Max Verstappen to dominate Formula 1 as he's become accustomed to. But there are signs of progress. A front-row start in Monaco came to nothing after he retired on the opening lap, yet in Austria - one of his favourite circuits - he was back fighting for victory for the first time this season.

Marc Marquez

After undergoing yet another operation on his right shoulder, Marc Marquez has begun yet another sensational comeback, with consecutive victories in Balaton Park and Brno coming as a surprise to even his most loyal supporters.

Fabio di Giannantonio

Ducati’s ever-reliable Fabio di Giannantonio has closed in rapidly on the leading Aprilia riders in the title fight with a series of consistent performances, including his comeback ride after a first-lap melee in Hungary.

Raul Fernandez

Despite being taken out by Jorge Martin in Hungary and compromised by appendicitis in the Czech Republic, Raul Fernandez was still one of the best performers of the month. Following his sprint win in Assen, he now looks set to secure another contract from Trackhouse.

Ai Ogura

The Japanese driver fixed his one-lap weakness in Brno and then delivered a brilliant victory against other Aprilias at the Dutch GP. After a difficult rookie season, he is finally repaying the faith instilled in him by his bosses.

Denny Hamlin

Hamlin completely erased Tyler Reddick’s championship lead, which was once +129 points. The championship lead changed hands for the first time this year after Sonoma, with Hamlin now one point ahead of Reddick.

Corey Heim

Driving a part-time open entry and making just his 13th career start, Heim won the San Diego Street Course race at Naval Base Coronado. He out-dueled teammate Tyler Reddick in the closing laps, and won by over ten seconds.

Shane van Gisbergen

After a restart pileup dropped him outside the Chase and denied him a shot at the win in San Diego, SVG came back with a vengeance at Sonoma, sweeping the weekend and punching his way back up into the top 16.

Christopher Bell

After a 63G crash at Michigan left him with a fractured wrist, Bell did not miss a race. While he used a relief driver after starting at San Diego, Bell managed to run the entire race at Sonoma while injured, scoring a top five finish.

Christian Lundgaard

Overcame an opening lap incident that dropped the Dane to last, but through pace and strategy vaulted through the field to win at Road America. With the win, his second of the season, he solidified himself as Arrow McLaren’s leading title contender.

Josef Newgarden

Despite carrying a left foot injury from his crash in the Indianapolis 500, Newgarden battled through the pain throughout the month of June. The highlight was capturing the win - his second of the season - at World Wide Technology Raceway.

David Malukas

Malukas converted two front row starts in finishes of seventh and second at World Wide Technology Raceway and Road America, respectively. The results continued a run of consistency that have firmly placed him as Team Penske’s highest championship threat; currently second in the standings.

Kyle Kirkwood

Kirkwood: Although finishes of sixth (World Wide Technology Raceway) and 10th (Road America) may not look appealing on the surface, Kirkwood has actually chipped 13 points out of Alex Palou’s championship lead. He firmly sits third in the title race, one point behind Malukas for second (314-313).

Kamui Kobayashi

Kamui Kobayashi was easily the fastest driver in terms of the average lap times in the Hypercar field. A recurring sensor problem derailed the #7 Toyota’s challenge, but driver/team principal Kobayashi held his nerve to beat the competition.

Will Stevens

With the #38 Cadillac retiring, Will Stevens led the charge for the GM marque in the #12 car, delivering a standout performance on Sunday morning. He also rapidly closed in on the #8 Toyota towards the end of the race but ultimately missed out on a podium finish.

Jack Aitken

The Briton was a force at the 24 Hours of Le Mans, firmly leading before a mechanical failure derailed the race. He rebounded two weeks later in IMSA’s round at Watkins Glen, where he took pole with a GTP track record before claiming a dominant win that saw the Whelen Cadillac lead 143 of 182 laps.

Nick Yelloly

An LMP2 win at the 24 Hours of Le Mans with Inter Europol Competition was undoubtedly the highlight. However, Yelloly followed that up by helping propel the IMSA-departing Acura Meyer Shank Racing team to a runner-up finish at Watkins Glen.

F1 - Lewis Hamilton's first Ferrari victory

Lewis Hamilton's first Ferrari victory in Barcelona is guaranteed to go down not only as one of the defining moments of the current Formula 1 season, but also as an important chapter in the sport's history. At 41 years old, the seven-time world champion proved he didn't join Ferrari simply to prolong his career.

MotoGP - Marc Marquez's comeback win

Marc Marquez's comeback win. Two races were all it took for Marc Marquez to return to the top step of the podium after his latest shoulder injury. The Ducati rider once again highlighted his tenacity with a brilliant double win in Hungary, and followed that up with another first place in the Czech Republic for good measure.

NASCAR's first-ever race weekend on an active military base

NASCAR's first-ever race weekend on an active military base' - NASCAR managed to construct an all-new 3.4-mile street course on an active military base, taking all three national divisions to San Diego. The spectacle of it was incredible, with a U.S. aircraft carrier serving as the broadcast booth, and every race ending in a dramatic battle for the win.

Sports Cars - Toyota winning at Le Mans

Toyota winning at Le Mans. Toyota winning against stern competition from LMDh rivals at Le Mans will go down as one of the biggest storylines of the year. The Japanese marque outsmarted its rivals on strategy and had the pace to remain at the front after gaining track position, finishing first and third.
