Hold on to your helmets! F1 is buzzing with shocking news and unexpected twists.
- Esteban Ocon is set to join Haas-Ferrari, potentially marking the end of Kevin Magnussen’s F1 career.
- Haas extends its technical partnership with Ferrari until 2028, shutting down rumors of a Toyota alliance.
- Sergio Perez’s future with Red Bull is in limbo despite his recent contract renewal.
- Toto Wolff advises Max Verstappen to hold off on considering a move to Mercedes.
Esteban Ocon is reportedly about to join Haas-Ferrari, bringing major changes to the grid. According to reports, Ocon has signed a contract and will announce his move ahead of the Hungarian GP. This could mean curtains for Kevin Magnussen, who has struggled with just eight points over two seasons.
Haas announced an extension to their technical partnership with Ferrari, securing collaboration until 2028. Despite rumors of a deal with Toyota, Haas continues its close relationship with Ferrari, which has been in place since 2016. This extension allows Haas to use as many Ferrari-built parts as F1 rules allow.
Sergio Perez’s performances have thrown his future into jeopardy, even after signing a new two-year contract with Red Bull. Helmut Marko is hopeful that Perez will find his form in the next two races. However, the uncertainty looms as Red Bull considers other options due to his mid-season struggles.
Meanwhile, Toto Wolff has some advice for Max Verstappen. Wolff believes that Verstappen should stay put at Red Bull until Mercedes can prove they are winners again. Despite recent speculation, Toto’s stance makes it clear that switching teams might be too risky right now.
In other news, Mick Schumacher believes his F1 comeback is ‘within reach.’ The 25-year-old has been actively testing and is a strong candidate to replace Ocon at Alpine. Schumacher is optimistic about his return, having recently tested vehicles for both Alpine and McLaren.
The F1 world is brimming with potential shake-ups as driver seats and team strategies continue to evolve.
