Newey out confirmed. He’s off the Red Bull F1 team effective immediately and will serve his gardening leave working on the RB17 hypercar project. Early 2025 he becomes a free agent and can work for Ferrari, Mercedes or Aston Martin on their 2026 car as he pleases.

It was 30 years ago today. I remember watching the race and walking into the bedroom to tell my wife Senna had just died.

I remember as a kid thinking it couldn’t be true because Senna was too good of a driver to die in a car crash, but like Bianchi 20 years later its luck and physics that can be mitigated but not entirely avoided.

Hopefully we go a long time before another.

So, Horner wins the political battle, let's see if he wins the war.

I’m very excited about Audi’s entrance. Too bad we have to wait an extra year. Would also like for Andretti Global to get another look.

All of Australia should be celebrating. I’m a huge fan of Danny R. And AC/DC!

I've got to say the Miami Dolphins F1 Car Park circuit looks completely ridiculous, it hasn't grown on me at all, its like the original Las Vegas Car Park F1 Circuit, but massive credit to Las Vegas F1 for doing things much better this time around so far.

Love to see Aston Martin doing well, but I hope Stroll doesn't win out on this one!

Adrian and Fred Vassur had a secret meeting in London during the week.. This follows Adrian's secret meeting with John Elkam, with Hamilton jumping ship, together with all of the other poachings all under the excellent leadership of Fred, what an exciting team that would be ..Here's hoping!!!

This is so incredibly well-deserved.

There are a few - just a few - days in F1 on which everybody in the field is happy for the winner. Today is one of those days.

About time he won a race, well deserved. His teammate on the other hand has lots to learn, what a disaster finish.

Seriously?? Piastri is an amazing Talent, an incredibly impressive young driver, he's had little more than a year in F1 and other than today he's been virtually flawless.

No disputing his talent, he needs experience which I was my point.

Yes I did get your point, but I really can't see it; as for the most part, he drives with the maturity and confidence of a driver who's been around for many years in F1, rather than someone who has only just recently completed his rookie season.

This punishing drivers for doing their jobs must stop. Magnussen doesn’t count.

Landoooooo! Good job by McLaren. Well deserved.

Also, as a fan of Gil de Ferran, I appreciated how much he was mentioned.

Managed to grab a few photos, so cool to travel all that way and see Lando so happy.
