Ferrari’s big upgrade package introduced at the Spanish Grand Prix for its Formula 1 car has been overshadowed by the return of the bouncing phenomenon. The team thought it had produced a more stable aero platform, which is key to the current regulation set, but now it has been left playing catch up to rivals after its fast-tracked upgrade package has made the SF-24 difficult to drive again for Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sainz. The upgrades did add performance to their car, but they produced too much downforce and exaggerated the bouncing issue that was previously present in the SF-23. The pro...

Lando Norris is now 116 races into his Formula 1 career. Only Red Bull’s Max Verstappen and Mercedes’ Lewis Hamilton have been with their teams longer than he’s been at McLaren. Norris joined the team as a junior driver back in February 2017. That preceded his first full season in the European F3 championship with Carlin. The Englishman would go on to claim the title that year with nine wins, eight poles and 20 podiums in 30 races. He finished more than 50 points clear of his nearest challenger Joel Eriksson in a field that also included Zhou Guanyu and Mick Schumacher. For reference, Verstapp...

Michael Schumacher has one of the greatest records in the history of Formula 1 and his longevity in the sport meant he raced against the very best for decades. When Michael Schumacher made his debut in 1991 for Jordan, he was joining a grid that contained the likes of Ayrton Senna, Nigel Mansell, Alain Prost and Nelson Piquet. They all had world championships under their belt and despite only taking part in the final six races of that season, Schumacher finished ahead of more than 20 drivers in the championship. Schumacher was a race winner the following season with Benetton and it wasn’t long...

Ferrari introduced a big upgrade package to its Formula 1 car in Spain, but since then it has suffered issues that it previously thought it got rid of in the past. The return of the bouncing phenomenon overshadowed what was meant to be a step forward for the team, as Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sainz found the SF-24 a handful to drive. Ferrari fast-tracked the upgrades to their car in a bid to keep pace with their rivals McLaren, Red Bull and recently Mercedes. While they did add performance to the car, the word from Marinello is that Ferrari added too much downforce and exaggerated a long-stan...

There have been plenty of twists and turns in the Formula 1 driver’s market this year but so far only a handful of drivers have made a leap of faith to switch teams for 2025. That’s almost certainly going to change with the final half a dozen seats left to be filled still open because teams are exploring every possible opportunity before asking a driver to put pen to paper. One of the most exciting drivers who was potentially available for next season was Alex Albon. Williams team principal James Vowles made a point of saying during pre-season that Albon was tied down to a contract until the e...

Adrian Newey is leaving Red Bull at the start of 2025 after handing in his resignation. One of the most iconic designer-team partnerships in F1 history will come to an end. After Martin Whitmarsh had security escort Newey off the McLaren premises in an acrimonious exit, he signed with Red Bull in 2005. He’d previously worked with another iconic team in Williams, but this was a gamble. They weren’t an established competitor, and it took until 2009 before they could compete at the front of the grid. But Newey would then deliver four straight title-winning cars for Sebastian Vettel in a famous ru...

Sergio Perez is on the brink of losing his Red Bull seat if he fails to improve in the next two Formula 1 Grands Prix before the summer break. The Mexican has slipped back to sixth in the Drivers’ Championship after failing to score points at the last round at Silverstone and now faces the possibility of both Mercedes drivers overtaking him if they continue their upward trajectory. Red Bull has reportedly laid out various performance clauses in his most recent contract which is supposed to include the 2025 season and an option for 2026, but on the condition that he does not fall 100 points beh...

Red Bull Racing are arguably in their most precarious position since rising to the top of Formula 1 during the 2022 season. Max Verstappen is still a long way clear at the top of the Drivers’ Championship and could afford to retire from the next three races and still have a lead over the rest of the field. However, Red Bull’s latest car doesn’t have the same advantage over the rest of the pack as its predecessors which has narrowed the gap in the Constructors’ Championship. That’s because Sergio Perez has suffered a serious drop in form and Red Bull are putting pressure on Perez to improve bef...

Daniel Ricciardo and his camp have begun exploring alternative options for the 2025 season, according to a report. The Australian is at risk of losing his seat at RB this year. There is significant uncertainty around the Red Bull driver pool at the moment as Sergio Perez comes under intense pressure. But Ricciardo isn’t in contention to replace Perez should Red Bull make a change. Instead, he’s fighting to earn an extension at junior team RB. The Australian has had some standout moments this year – P4 in the Miami Sprint and P5 in Canada qualifying among them – but he hasn’t been as consistent...

When Max Verstappen took his first Formula 1 Drivers’ World Championship in 2021 it kickstarted a dominant run that now sees him fighting for a fourth in 2024. Although some would argue that his driving style has remained the same and controversial on track, much has changed in his demeanour off the track. The Dutchman has been on top form having put on a dominant display in 2023 at the wheel of the RB19, breaking records for most consecutive wins (10 in a row) and establishing himself as third in the all-time win list behind the great Michael Schumacher and Lewis Hamilton. When discussing his...
