Welcome to Bryan Circosta's site

This is yet another Ferrari 250 GTO, and it’s coming up for auction. Anyway this particular Ferrari 250 GTO is a real unique one because it’s the only Ferrari 250 GTO finished in ‘Bianco’ by Ferrari itself. The  single factory white GTO from just 36 ever built. It is a car that  lived a properly full life. It was bought new back in 1962 by privateer British racing team owner John Coombs, took one victory and five  second-placed finishes in the GT class, and was driven in competition by stellar pilots. Graham Hill and Roy Salvadori, to name two you might recognise. Interestingly, it was loaned to the Jaguar Competition Department in 1962 for – according to Mecum Auctions – “aerodynamic and performance testing”. The interior remains ‘unrestored’, though it’s  been refinished in that original Bianco paintjob and 1962 Goodwood Tourist Trophy livery as raced by Hill. Mecum hasn’t given an estimate, but consider that one sold for $38m back in 2014, another for $48m in 2018, and another for $51m in 2023. The auction wil be held at the  Kissimmee auction in the second week of January 2026. 

Max Verstappen kept his championship hopes alive with a commanding win in Qatar, leading home his Red Bull ahead of Oscar Piastri’s McLaren, while Carlos Sainz delivered a surprise third-place finish for Williams. Championship leader Lando Norris missed the podium, allowing both Verstappen and Piastri to reduce the gap. Norris now holds a 12-point lead over  Verstappen and 16 over his McLaren teammate heading into the season finale.

The race turned on an early incident  involving Nico Hülkenberg and Pierre Gasly, which brought out the safety car. The Safety Car prompted nearly the entire field to pit for fresh tires—everyone except McLaren. That strategic gamble ultimately cost Piastri, who had started on pole and nailed the launch, a shot at the win.

Norris managed to claw back one position late in the race after Mercedes driver Kimi Antonelli slid wide in a corner. Despite strong  starts—especially from Lewis Hamilton—Ferrari struggled throughout the weekend, and also the entire season, with Charles Leclerc finishing only eighth and Hamilton down in 12th.
