Four-time F1 World Champion Sebastian Vettel is still leaving the door open for a return to Formula 1, almost two seasons after stepping out. However, Helmut Marko explains that partnering Vettel with Max Verstappen isn’t a good idea due to Verstappen’s dominant presence. “I didn’t want to do that to him,” Marko candidly shared.
Carlos Sainz has signed a long-term deal with Williams, but former Williams team manager Peter Windsor believes this could be a “big mistake” if Ferrari isn’t included in a rumored exit clause. Windsor questions why Sainz wouldn’t keep Ferrari as an option, especially given the fickle nature of F1 seat availability.
Red Bull’s chief engineer, Paul Monaghan, has renewed his contract with the team, citing Red Bull as his “home.” With Red Bull set to become fully independent by 2026, producing their own engines, Monaghan is excited to stay and be part of the team’s evolution.
Eddie Jordan sees Lewis Hamilton’s recent wins as a signal that the ace driver is back in top form. After a slow start believed to be due to his focus on a potential move to Ferrari, Hamilton is now zeroed in on achieving more success with Mercedes.
Angela Cullen, former physio to Lewis Hamilton, shares her newfound love for IndyCar after initially deciding to retire from motorsport. A spontaneous invitation from driver Marcus Armstrong has reignited her passion, proving that sometimes, life’s unexpected turns can lead to thrilling new adventures.
