The F1 world is buzzing with speculation and updates.

- Despite wildfire smoke, the Canadian Grand Prix is set to proceed without delay.

Former Red Bull mechanic Calum Nicholas believes Max Verstappen could retire at the end of the F1 2025 season. Nicholas predicts that Verstappen will clinch his fifth consecutive title before deciding to step away from racing. Nicholas, now a Red Bull ambassador, suggests that Verstappen’s potential retirement is on the horizon, even as he continues to dominate the F1 scene.
The Canadian Grand Prix, a longstanding fixture on the F1 calendar since 1978, is in the news due to wildfire smoke in Montreal. Despite social media images showing the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve shrouded in smoke, sources close to the event relay that there are no immediate concerns. Fans can expect the race to take place as planned.
Carlos Sainz has found himself in a tough spot this season at Williams. With nine races done, he’s trailing his teammate Alex Albon by 30 points. Nico Rosberg, a prominent F1 pundit, highlights Sainz’s struggles and hopes the former Ferrari driver can regain his form soon.
At Red Bull, Yuki Tsunoda’s performance has been under the microscope. Helmut Marko assumes that Tsunoda will continue as Verstappen’s teammate for the remainder of 2025, but notes that Tsunoda’s recurring qualifying issues have become a ‘serious’ concern. Since taking over from Liam Lawson, Tsunoda has managed only seven points, raising questions about his future with the team.
Lewis Hamilton’s move to Ferrari has sparked debate, with Audi F1’s Mattia Binotto critiquing the timing of his transfer. Binotto suggests that Hamilton, now 40, may have joined Ferrari a few years too late, impacting his performance since leaving Mercedes. This transition period appears challenging for Hamilton as he adapts to his new team.
The F1 landscape is filled with uncertainties and challenges as the 2025 season unfolds.
