Let’s be real for a second: getting a seat at Red Bull Racing is like winning the lottery, except the prize money comes with a distinct possibility of a public meltdown and a career that ends faster than a Ferrari pit stop strategy meeting.
At the midpoint of the 2025 season, Oscar Piastri was nine points ahead of teammate Lando Norris in the race for the 2025 Drivers' Championship. A win at Zandvoort, which also saw teammate Norris retire, propelled the gap to 34 points, giving the 24-year-old strong positioning to run away with the title.
Lando Norris has insisted he has no reason to smile yet, despite dominating Friday at the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix. The McLaren driver enters the Formula 1 season finale 12 points ahead of nearest rival Max Verstappen, knowing that he needs only a podium finish if the Red Bull driver wins on Sunday.
Fernando Alonso amused fans when he unwrapped a walking stick as his Secret Santa gift As Formula 1 prepares for the final race of the 2025 season, the drivers have exchanged gifts for Secret Santa ahead of the Christmas break.
The driver’s title battle between Max Verstappen, Lando Norris, and Oscar Piastri is the talk of the paddock for the ultimate race of the 2025 season. Verstappen’s winning chances are slim against Norris, but they are definitely not none.
The 2025 driver’s title battle will be extremely exciting as it will be fought for between the top three drivers in the standings. Max Verstappen will certainly be the driver to watch as he has to cover up a 12-point deficit to Lando Norris in order to win the title.
Oscar Piastri has a chance to win the title, but needs a miracle to do so and may have his chances hindered by his own team, which could come in the form of team orders.
F1 hasn't seen the last of Yuki Tsunoda. At least that's the mindset for the Japanese driver, who lost his race seat to Isack Hadjar after Red Bull confirmed the move on Tuesday.
Isack Hadjar will replace Yuki Tsunoda as the second Red Bull competitor alongside Max Verstappen for the 2026 F1 season, the team announced Tuesday. Hadjar, 21, is wrapping up a moderately successful rookie season for Racing Bulls, Red Bull's sister team.
