Red Bull world champion reveals testing debut in F1 bid<\/p>\n

\nA two-time world champion has revealed their first test in F2 machinery, as they look to move closer to an F1 debut. <\/p>\n

\nRed Bull-backed Kalle Rovanpera is a two-time champion in the World Rally Championship (WRC) having claimed back-to-back title wins in 2022 and 2023, but the Finnish racer has opted to leave the series at the conclusion of this current season. <\/p>\n

Aston Martin confirm F1 driver change for 2026<\/p>\n

\nAston Martin F1 team have confirmed a change to their driver pool for 2026 after an announcement that one driver would be heading to an alternative racing series. <\/p>\n

\n2022 F2 champion Felipe Drugovich has been the team’s reserve driver since the 2022 season, and has taken part in eight FP1 sessions since then, including two in 2025. <\/p>\n

\nBut his path to F1 was seemingly blocked by the stable driver partnership of Fernando Alonso and Lance Stroll<\/a>, who are both set to continue with the Silverstone-based team until at least the end of next season. <\/p>\n

\nDrugovich has now opted to make the move to Formula E, where he will race with Andretti for Season 12, and Aston Martin have now confirmed that Jak Crawford will become their new F1 reserve driver instead. <\/p>\n

Schumacher fires Lando Norris<\/a> ‘bullying’ accusations
\n\"RalfRalf Schumacher has hit out at bullying involving Lando Norris<\/p>\n

\nFormer F1 driver Ralf Schumacher has hit out at an ‘absurd’ conspiracy theory that has been floated over why Lando Norris was booed at last weekend’s Mexican Grand Prix. <\/p>\n

\nThe McLaren star took back the lead of the championship for the first time since April with his win in Mexico City, but was loudly booed by fans during his post-race interview after claiming his dominant victory. <\/p>\n

\nIt was suggested in the post-race press conference that the booing was a result of the perception that Norris is being ‘handed’ the title by team orders, from Zak Brown and other key McLaren figures. <\/p>\n

\nThe German racer and pundit then went as far as to claim that the fan treatment towards Norris almost ‘amounts to bullying behaviour’. <\/p>\n

Toto Wolff reveals F1 row with Mercedes<\/a> chief over the Daily Mail and coffee cups<\/p>\n

\nToto Wolff has lifted the lid on a row he had with a Mercedes chief shortly after arriving at the team in 2013. <\/p>\n

\nBefore becoming the team boss that would fire them to domination on all fronts between 2014 and 2020, Wolff recalled being less than impressed with ‘shop front’ after arriving a lobby in a team building. <\/p>\n

\nSo rattled was Wolff he took up the issue with team boss at the time Ross Brawn – and the two didn’t see eye-to-eye. <\/p>\n

Alpine 2026 driver lineup decision ‘already made’<\/p>\n

\nAlpine have reportedly already made their choice on which driver will be Pierre Gasly<\/a>‘s team-mate next season. <\/p>\n

\nWhile the Frenchman has long since been locked in at the team, the second driver at Alpine has been less obvious. <\/p>\n

\nJack Doohan lasted just six races this term before being replaced by Franco Colapinto who has yet to score a point since stepping into the team. <\/p>\n

\nWith neither driver having impressed, Mick Schumacher<\/a> has also been a contender and reports suggest Alpine have now made a choice on which of the three will get the nod for 2026. <\/p>\n

Fernando Alonso savagely mocks F1 rivals in a way only he can
\n\"FernandoFernando Alonso proved radio entertainment again in Mexico<\/p>\n

\nAnyone who has been watching F1 for a few weeks, let alone a couple of decades will know Fernando Alonso doesn’t pull any punches when it comes to saying what he thinks. <\/p>\n

\nBefore Mexico, the most recent of his outbursts saw him compared to British comedy character Victor Meldrew after launching a tirade over the radio at Lewis Hamilton after he failed to pip the British star, who was struggling with brake issues, on track at the Singapore Grand Prix. <\/p>\n

\nBut Alonso was back on the tirade in Mexico City, and this time it wasn’t just Hamilton in his cross-hairs. <\/p>\n

Former F1 boss considering standing for struggling political party<\/p>\n

\nFor the vast majority of us, none of us will ever become an F1 team boss or the UK Prime Minister. For Claire Williams, there appears to be a path opening up where she could end up doing both! <\/p>\n

\nClaire used to be in charge of her father Sir Frank‘s eponymous team up until 2020, and although she was technically a deputy, she was the de-facto boss. <\/p>\n

\nBut with F1 now behind her after selling the team, it appears a route into politics is opening up. <\/p>\n
