World champion Verstappen dominated the Baku race to take his second consecutive victory as Piastri retired
He’s currently leading the Formula 1 championship, but Oscar Piastri could just as easily be languishing as a frustrated reserve driver for Alpine — if it wasn’t for Pierre Gasly, writes Mark Hughes.
Tracing its roots from Tyrrell to BAR, Honda, Brawn GP, and finally Mercedes, the Brackley-based Formula 1 team has experienced a remarkable evolution marked by changing identities, technical innovation, and success and failure
Hamilton tops second practice from Leclerc as Piastri and Norris finish down the order
Norris leads McLaren 1-2 at Baku as a red flag cost drivers plenty of track time
28-year-old Swiss racer intends to run against Ben Sulayem and Mayer
McLaren’s F1 dominance in 2025 has been underpinned by a deceptively simple factor that none of its key challengers has been able to replicate.
With Oliver Bearman facing the threat of an F1 race ban for the next four grands prix, Haas could soon be forced to find a stand-in. We look at the drivers who could replace him

The power unit, the passing zones, the red flag – strip them all away and what’s left is still one of the greatest drives in F1 history. Mark Hughes analyses Kimi Antonelli’s Monza masterclass
Under 2026’s energy-starved rules, Monza’s tow is way too valuable, and that, Mark Hughes writes, is set to make controversial qualifying shenanigans for the 2026 Italian Grand Prix almost inevitable
