Aston Martin is reportedly keen to lure Max Verstappen away from Red Bull Racing. One billion pounds is even said to have been set aside to entice the Dutchman to make the switch. To do or not to do, that is the big question in the near future.

As preparations for the new Formula 1 season continue, Sergio Perez sits at home with his family. The Mexican lost his seat at Red Bull Racing, but that doesn’t mean a definite departure for the Mexican from the competition. Guenther Steiner believes a return with Cadillac is more than logical.
Aston Martin would be willing to pay as much as a billion pounds for Max Verstappen, rumour has it. If the story is true, Guenther Steiner – Haas F1’s former team principal – wonders aloud whether the reigning world champion would be wise to switch to the ambitious team.
A small smile could not be suppressed in the Verstappen household when it was announced this Wednesday morning that Johnny Herbert will no longer be a steward during Grand Prix weekends with immediate effect. But there was probably also some joy at at least two teams. Indeed, GPblog knows from its own research that at
Last season in Formula 1, it showed how important it is to have good reserve drivers. Oliver Bearman was allowed to step in three times (coincidentally) after respective Ferrari and Haas drivers were suddenly unavailable in 2024, with fine performances coming in all three Grands Prix. Next season too, drivers are on standby to fill in, with
Liam Lawson faces the tough task of being Max Verstappen’s teammate in 2025. Pierre Gasly, Daniel Ricciardo, Alexander Albon and most recently Sergio Perez all eventually lost out to the now four-time Formula 1 world champion. Guenther Steiner, former Haas F1 team boss, fears for the New Zealander that the same fate awaits him.
Yuki Tsunoda, to his own dismay, was passed over to fill in the vacant seat at Red Bull Racing after Sergio Perez was pushed aside by the Austrians. Red Bull chose to put Liam Lawson next to Max Verstappen, a decision Guenther Steiner does not understand very well.

Four times in a row Max Verstappen managed to become the drivers’ champion in Formula 1, but it is by no means a foregone conclusion that a fifth title will follow for the Dutchman in 2025. Judging purely on the form in the second part of the F1 season in ’24, many changes are needed
Lewis Hamilton’s debut in a Ferrari will not have been missed by any F1 fan earlier this week. For days, the Brit dominated the front pages, with his first working day with the Italian team and, of course, the first test in an old F1 car of the iconic marquee. It is now clear when
An interesting and exciting season awaits both Max Verstappen and Red Bull in 2025. The big question is whether the Austrian team can be competitive against the fierce competition of McLaren and Ferrari, both teams which are expected to be strong in 2025. Will Verstappen want to leave Red Bull if he no longer feels he can
The first and only official test in the run-up to the new F1 season starts on February 26 in Bahrain, but one day before it already looks set to be a busy time at the Middle Eastern circuit. Previously, GPblog was able to report that Aston Martin and Mercedes will hold a filming day in
