Is it set in stone for the next five years? No, because I don't know what's going to happen in the next five years. But for sure, for us, there is enough work on our side to improve the power unit, to improve its integration in the car, ...."

Laurent Mekies: "Look, we got a lot of unwanted positive publicity about the performance of our engine, and that certainly came with attention from a lot of teams. Are we having any serious conversations with anyone to supply another team? No, we don't feel we are ready for that."

Cold tyres, full fuel load, almost no grip on the grass and barriers approaching fast. Still Max Verstappen kept it out of the wall. Not only did he save the car, he didn't even lose a position. Mexico 2025 🟦 #F1 #Formula1 💃 #MexicanGP #MexicoGP 🌶 #MexicoCity #Mexico 🦁 #MAXico 🌼

📻 The driver-to-engineer radio is "the most sacred communication" an F1 team has. So why did one of them open it up to a broadcaster during the US GP weekend - and why hasn't this been done before now in modern-day F1? ➡️ 🟦 #F1 #Formula1 🦅 #USGP #COTA 🤠 #Austin 🔴⚪🔵 #CircuitOfTheAmericas

Comment: Teams have occasionally patched celebrities or television commentators directly into the driver's headset during the cool-down lap to congratulate them on a victory or that they were Driver of the Day. Think about Rosberg and his wife after the finish in Abu Dhabi 2016. 🟦 #F1 #Formula1

Once the checkered flag drops and the race is over, the strictly encrypted Sporting Regulations soften slightly. So it's not quite the same as Crofty instructing Gasly to do a practice start. But it's not 33 years ago that it was the last time after the checkered flag! @wearetherace.bsky.social

Here's exactly what @sarafischer.bsky.social asked: “In terms of the casual fan, how do you think about monetizing that engagement with somebody who might not be tuning into every race, but they follow these characters on Instagram and are tuning into what’s happening with LEGO?”

Liam Lawson has managed to score points in 13 of this season's 18 GPs, whereas prior to 2026, he had only scored points in 10 out of 35 GPs Despite this significant improvement, he still does not have a guaranteed seat for next year. He can become a country singer though 😉 Via Pablo Martinez

Mekies explained that the issue involves multiple components, including the engine, gearbox and clutch, meaning a complete solution will have to wait until 2027, although smaller improvements are still possible this season. 🔧 📰 Motorsport.com #F1 #RedBullRacing #MaxVerstappen

Danish racer Frederik Vesti will replace George Russell in Mexico FP1 adding even more woes to his title campaign... or rather... making it very difficult to win the required last 5 races, to mathematically still win the title. Provided Antonelli doesn't score any more than 1 point in these races!
