Ducati Scrambler 10th Anniversario Rizoma Edition
Transportation or art? Yes, say Scrambler Ducati and Rizoma.
A rider in white looking at a Ducati Scrambler 10th Anniversario Rizoma Edition standing in fromt of a glass-walled desert house.

Ducati sport and super sport bikes often feature in racetrack photos with riders scrapping their knees on high-speed corners, but the Scrambler Ducati lineup has a celebrated tradition of off-road capable bikes that goes back to the early 1960s. Designed with the Rizoma motorcycle accessories company, the Scrambler Ducati 10th Anniversario Rizoma Edition celebrates ten years of modern Scrambler models and emphasizes the individual styling possible with the Scrambler platform.
Why Ducati is celebrating the anniversary of a desert scrambler-style motorcycle

Rizoma's specialty accessories and design enhancements emphasize the potential for individual self-expression of Scrambler Ducati riders. Ducati originated the Scramblers in response to demand from American riders for motorcycles that incorporated the performance aspects of European racing motorcycles with the spirit and capabilities of bikes that could be ridden anywhere, including the vast open deserts of the southwest, where scrambler-style motorcycles were popular.

F1 United States Grand Prix Sprint Race 2024: Verstappen wins decisively
All teams tested tires while Verstappen and Norris led the race for 18 of 19 laps
Circuit of the Americas race track in Austin, Texas.

It was like the beginning of the F1 2024 season at the United States Grand Prix Sprint race on Saturday afternoon, October 19. Red Bull F1 driver and three-time World Champion Max Verstappen started the race in the pole position and was never threatened while keeping the lead and winning the 19-lap competition easily. Ferrari driver Carlos Sainz and McLaren driver Lando Norris were second and third in the Sprint.

Verstappen's Grand Prix dominance during the first five weeks of the season was so great that many expected he'd be uncontested as he drove for his fourth Championship. After the fifth race, however, issues with the Red Bull race car and winning performances by other drivers, particularly Lando Norris, opened the opportunities for both the Drivers' and Constructors' Championships. McLaren is ahead of Red Bull, and Norris has been closing the points gap for the Drivers' Championship. Before the USGP, with six Grand Prix remaining in the season, including three with Sprints, the gamble was whether Norris could catch up to Verstappen's points lead before the season ended. Today, with the Sprint finished, the direction turned, and Verstappen strengthened his lead.
Why the Sprint race matters
The FIA Formula 1 organization added Sprint races to a limited number of Grand Prix in a season (currently no more than six) to give race fans who attend in person or stream the race events an additional exciting event during the weekend. Sprints are held the day before the Grand Prix, so people who didn't care much about watching practice sessions and qualifying events would have an excellent reason to attend or watch during an additional day. The top eight drivers win Championship points, too, with eight points for the winner, seven points for 2nd place, and so on, so the eighth place driver wins 1 point. The extra 8 points for the winner can be a good boost, even though it's less than one-third of the points for winning the Grand Prix, which awards 25 points to the winner and decreases more rapidly, so the tenth place driver gets the final point.
What the Sprint race results suggest for the Grand Prix
Because Verstappen won so handily in the Sprint race, Sunday's Grand Prix could be a bellwether for the rest of the season. If Verstappen wins, it may dishearten McLaren because, besides making the math of the Championship points harder to beat with so few remaining races, the feeling around the track may be that Red Bull's upgrades for this race have finally fixed the midseason issues.

F1 United States Grand Prix preview: teams test the last major upgrades of 2024
The US Grand Prix in Austin may decide the season's outcomes
Circuit of the Americas race track in Austin, Texas.

The four-week break since the Singapore Grand Prix has allowed the teams to make the last significant race car upgrades for the 2024 F1 racing season. With potential changes in the driver and team competitions, the last six of the 24 races this year could be exciting. The October 12-21 United States F1 Grand Prix 2024 in Auston, Texas kicks off the last part of the season with unexpected opportunities for teams that aren't Red Bull Racing. 

Since four of the six races are in the Americas, the race time zones also make it more convenient for U.S. fans who livestream the races.
Why the US Grand Prix matters
It's officially the Formula 1 Pirelli United States Grand Prix 2024, and this race is a big deal for the F1 teams and fans. Teams will see if the upgrades they made during the four-week break, the last break of the season, pay off with better performance.
