Formula 1 has always thrived on its rivalries, both on and off the track. This year, the drivers’ title race has been between McLaren teammates Oscar Piastri and Lando Norris.
There’s been plenty of discussion lately about Max Verstappen’s future with Red Bull, especially with how things have played out for the team recently.
Oscar Piastri has quickly emerged as the favorite to win the drivers’ title in 2025 due to his flawless performances. McLaren’s dominant pace this year has also contributed to Piastri’s success.
Lewis Hamilton finds himself battling two of his former teams at the sharp end of the grid, chasing a third championship with a different constructor – something only one driver in history has ever done before.
Red Bull is currently undergoing an extremely difficult time in Formula 1. The Austrian outfit is unable to contend for race wins even though Max Verstappen is giving it his all.
Max Verstappen will need to decide very soon what he plans to do for the 2026 Formula 1 season. Even with a tough 2025 season, Red Bull are still expecting Max Verstappen to stick around.

Red Bull Racing announced the shock exit of Team Principal Christian Horner last week. The Briton was shown the door after leading Milton Keynes for over two decades, a massive feat in Formula 1.
Christian Horner’s 20-year run as Red Bull CEO and team principal came to a sudden close last week, marking the end of an era for the team. He first took charge back in 2005, becoming the youngest team principal in F1 history.

Amid 2025 struggles, Lewis Hamilton is already looking ahead to F1’s new era in 2026 and how he can help Ferrari get back to the top. In early 2024, Lewis Hamilton sent shockwaves across the sporting world when he announced that he would be leaving Mercedes for Ferrari.
Ferrari know their hopes of competing for either title in the 2025 Formula 1 season have all but disappeared. At the halfway point of the campaign, Charles Leclerc and Lewis Hamilton are 115 and 131 points adrift of championship leader Oscar Piastri, and neither has managed a Grand Prix win yet.
Max Verstappen‘s future in F1 remains the biggest talking point in the paddock. The Dutch driver has reportedly continued to flirt with the idea of leaving Red Bull despite having a contract till the end of 2028.
Charles Leclerc’s F1 season hasn’t gone to plan, and he’s currently on track to equal his worst championship finish since 2021. Leclerc leads Ferrari in the standings, but fifth place isn’t what he’s aiming for.

Max Verstappen is the center of rumors of potentially leaving Red Bull to join Mercedes in the coming season. Following Christian Horner‘s exit, Verstappen hasn’t commented much on his contractual situation with Milton Keynes.
An eventful British GP ended in an increasingly familiar result, a McLaren 1-2, as the chequered flag came out. Norris reduced Piastri’s Championship advantage to just eight points, putting him ever closer to the Australian.
Ferrari were seen as McLaren’s most likely challengers heading into 2025, particularly with the addition of 7-time Champion Lewis Hamilton. The team’s performance this year, therefore, is a far cry from pre-season expectations.
