General News
Brandon Burgess is a fan in the middle of a ten-month Odyssey which began in Melbourne as he is trying to attend every race this season on a budget of £20,000. Its an epic journey, five continents and twenty-one countries, with the aim to show fans it is achievable to go and enjoy the sport many consider a rich man’s game.
Speaking to BBC News, “It’s been my ultimate dream. I weighed it up for a good week, and obviously, it’s such a commitment. But then I thought ‘if I don’t do it now, then I’ll never do it’. I’m young, I don’t really have many responsibilities. I’m like ‘if I don’t do it this year, then maybe life changes and moves on’.”
Another condition of Burgess’ challenge is that he is only using his annual 28 days’ leave from his job working for a tech company in London. With eight races remaining after today he is on target with £9,221, with twelve days of his annual holiday time remaining. The triple-headers and back-to-back grands prix are fuelled by pure adrenaline, he says, and the next race on the list is just around the corner in Italy at Monza in a week’s time.
With a limited budget, Burgess is varying how many days he is attending at each event. In the Netherlands, for example, he has opted for two days of track action, taking in Saturday’s qualifying and Sunday’s race.
But looking to the flyways which begin in Singapore in six weeks’ time, he says “I’m trying to build a bit of a gap for the flyways again. In terms of the money, I’ve already done rough calculations based on what I’ve booked. But I don’t really know transport and food yet. It will be very close to £20K – maybe just under, maybe just over.
Burgess is documenting the ups and downs of life on the road via his Instagram account,, external, which has meant a bed for the night does pop up from time to time. With no days off in lieu available at his job to add to his leave tally, Burgess also has to be strategic about juggling his professional life.
In terms of his hopes for what happens on track, a Ferrari grand prix win, especially one for Charles Leclerc, would be a bonus: “Growing up, I was a massive Michael Schumacher fan, so that’s the reason why I’ve stuck with Ferrari since the Schumacher days,” he says.
Weekend Recap
FP1 was topped by Lando Norris who led a McLaren one-two after setting a 10.278, which put him nearly three tenths faster than his teammate Oscar Piastri. Lance Stroll put his Aston Martin third as he went nearly three tenths off Piastri, and he had the same advantage over his teammate Fernando Alonso, as the tight and unpredictable continued at this early phase of the weekend.
FP2 Norris continued to lead the way, setting 09.890, as Fernando Alonso narrowly split the two McLarens after going two thousandths of a second faster than Oscar Piastri. Norris was nearly nine hundredths faster than the Spaniard and his teammate, George Russell, put his Mercedes fourth but was nearly two tenths behind Piastri in a session which proved chaotic as drivers tried to maximise running in case the threat of rain developed
Qualifying saw Piastri pip Norris by a hundredth with a 09.662 to take pole. McLaren looked unthreatened throughout qualifying as Piastri showed his true form to narrowly beat his teammate. Max Verstappen put his Red Bull third, but the Dutchman was over a quarter of a second off the McLaren’s. A brilliant effort saw Isack Hadjar from Red Bull’s sister team Racing Bulls go fourth, the French rookie delivered a strong final lap to move himself just under half a tenth ahead of George Russell and the two Ferrari’s.
Piastri delivered a strong defensive drive to beat Max Verstappen by just over. a second to win the Grand Prix. The Australian spent much of the race battling with Norris, whom he fended off with the answer until the Englishman was forced to retire because of an engine failure with six laps to go. Verstappen finished ahead of Isack Hadjar, the Racing Bull driver jubilant as he finished almost two seconds behind the four-time champion as he scoring his first podium.
McLaren
Lando Norris insisted he has no regrets when reflecting on the opening fourteen races of his 2025 championship campaign, though he has picked out moments in China and Canada where he could have been “a little bit smarter”.
His Canada clash with teammate Oscar Piastri is the more obvious one; Norris had been frustrated as an attempt to pass on the exit of Montreal’s hairpin had come to nothing, and he made the wrong decision when trying to thread his McLaren down the inside of a rapidly closing gap on the start-finish straight.
He told reporters ahead of this weekend. “Could I have, at times, made maybe better decisions? I think so. The main one was China sprint qualifying; I think my lap was good enough for pole until the final hairpin, where I locked up.”
“If I’d had that thought probably just before braking – ‘it’s a long season, don’t try and be a hero’ – then I would have finished it. I lost eight points there. If I go back to Canada, if I could rerun that and just be a little bit smarter and not take so much risk, could I have not lost quite a few points there? Yes.”
He doesn’t regret them, but wishes he could have done better and do them again. Norris, at the same time he doesn’t saying that when you learn.
McLaren has announced an upgrade in its partnership with Mastercard with the payment provider becoming its official naming partner. From next season, the team will be officially branded as ‘McLaren Mastercard F1 Team’, signalling the payment provider stepping up its commitment to the team.
The two had only signed a multi-year deal last summer, there was however, also a suggestion that both were keen to elevate the partnership beyond a traditional sponsorship formula into ways to rewards its customers and attract F1’s ever-growing fanbase.
Norris topped both of Friday’s practice sessions after which he said he was expecting an “exciting” Saturday. In FP1 he led a McLaren one-two, while Fernando Alonso managed to separate him from teammate Oscar Piastri in the second session, with just nine hundredths splitting the trio.
Norris told reporters, “Today was a good day. You get back into things quite quickly, so it doesn’t take too long. The car was handling quite well. I feel like we’ve made some good improvements from FP1 to FP2, but at the same time, it seemed like the others caught up a bit more than what we would like. Even the Aston and Fernando were quick in FP1 and FP2 and have been recently, so a good start, but certainly a bit closer than we would like for the time being.”
Adding that the Aston Martins “are never that far off in FP2,” Norris maintained that McLaren should focus on its own performance, rather than look at potential competitors. McLaren needed to remain cautious going into the rest of the weekend because there was rain forecast throughout the weekend.
Meanwhile, his teammate Piastri was unable to match him, but believes the true picture has been obscured by the rain which never came, as teams completed mixed run plans to protect from the threat.
The Australian said, “Today has been a bit strange. People didn’t know whether to use the tyres when they definitely knew it was going to be dry, or did you wait a little bit longer and take some fuel out? There were a lot of things that I don’t think were quite as you would normally expect today. I think tomorrow will be the only time when we see exactly where everyone is at.”
Despite being behind Norris in all three practices, Piastri was stratified to pip Norris to pole by twelve thousandths of a second. When he got out the car he appeared happy with his pole, saying he peaked at the right time.
He said after qualifying, “I think the whole weekend I’ve felt pretty good, but there’s just been a couple corners that I’ve not been able to go any faster, and I didn’t really go any faster in those corners, but I found some more [pace] elsewhere. I’m super happy to come away with the result. Obviously [we have] still got all the points [to score] tomorrow, but it was looking like a little bit of a tricky weekend so far, so to come away with that… I’m pretty stoked.”
Asked if he was frustrated by the result, the Briton said: “Yes and no. I was close, it’s been close all weekend, so it could easily go one way or the other. I guess I’m a little bit disappointed I’m not on pole, but it’s close with still some decent laps. So, not the end of the world either.”
Norris says his dramatic retirement from the Grand Prix “hurts” as McLaren team principal Andrea Stella expressed his regret over Sunday’s car failure. While battling Piastri for the lead with eight laps to go his car grinned to a halt with an at time of writing an unclear reliability issue.
The reliability failure, which McLaren are unclear whether it was caused by the chassis or their Mercedes power unit, puts Norris thirty-four points behind Piastri in the title race with nine rounds to go.
He said, “I just want to go have a burger and go home. It’s frustrating, it’s not like I’m happy about today. It hurts and to lose, twenty-five points outright, it would have been seven points, it would have been smaller.”
“I just have to keep fighting, keep doing what I can. I was quick today. I thought I could fight for a win. If you’re fighting for a win around here, that’s normally just a good job already. I take the positives, I look on, I’ll try to bounce back. I’ve got tough competition, so it’s never going to be easy, but really make sure I do everything I can.”
We know that these engine issues have affected all four Mercedes teams this season, and hopefully this isn’t as McLaren want isn’t the deciding moment in the drivers championship. The last McLaren car failure was over two-and-a-half years ago in Bahrain. However, prior to Zandvoort, the other Mercedes-powered teams – Mercedes, Aston Martin and Williams – have all suffered engine problems this season.
Stella added, “I think today we experienced the two sides of motorsport. On one side, we have the joy, the satisfaction of another victory for McLaren, a deserved victory for Oscar – he ran a very strong and clean weekend.”
“On the opposite side, we have the disappointment and the pain for our retirement. Lando was in contention to try to win the race. It was certainly P1, P2 possible today for McLaren. We had the joy and the pain at the same this is motor racing.”
“It would be unfair to speculate whether it’s a chassis problem or an engine problem. We are one team, we go together, there’s no difference in terms of where the responsibility lies. We will review, we will see where the problem is, we will fix it and we will go again.”
Piastri said following the race, “I think qualifying was the key this weekend. Through the free practice sessions, it was looking like a difficult Zandvoort again, but we chipped away, tried to find time, tweak the car here and their. But, I just tried to really improve how I was driving because, let’s be honest, it’s pretty hard to complain about the car we’ve got. So just tried to chip away with that and it came good when it mattered.”
Ferrari
Lewis Hamilton says he hopes to rediscover his love for the sport after admitting his enjoyment for the sport was diminished before the summer break by the pressure of driving for Ferrari.
Following his Q2 knockout in Budapest four weeks ago, he claimed he was “just useless” after qualifying outside the top ten and suggested Ferrari would be better off replacing him.
Speaking ahead of the resumption of the season this weekend, the Ferrari driver said his approach to the final ten races of 2025 would be to enjoy the experience of being a Ferrari driver. He said, “I feel determined to and motivated to [move forward]. We are just going to be working, keep our heads down, try to change a few things in our approach and start to enjoy ourselves.”
“There’s been so much pressure in this first half of the season, it’s not been the most enjoyable. So I think just remembering that we love what we do, we’re all in this together and yeah, trying to have fun.”
Well it wasn’t the perfect start to the weekend with Charles Leclerc and Hamilton both not in the top thirteen in first practice and only improved to eighth and sixth respectively in the second session, nearly one second off pace-setter Lando Norris. On Friday evening Leclerc described it as a “wake-up call.”
He told reporters, “It was a very, very, very, very difficult Friday. Probably the worst Friday of the season. Right after the holidays and it’s a bit of a wake-up call. We have had some difficult Fridays and now it’s up to us to turn the situation around.”
“For sure, not an easy day. FP1 was extremely difficult. FP2 was slightly better but still very far off where we want to be. I don’t expect to fully turn the situation because McLaren are in a league of their own with Aston Martin, which is a surprise for us. We will try to improve the car because there is plenty to be done.”
Ferrari looked quick in sector one but their biggest weakness remains long radius corners which makes up most of the middle sector, pointing to two corners. Leclerc has called it a strange season, and they need a miracle to have a good weekend. Meanwhile, Hamilton had a spin in both sessions. In FP1 he spun on entry to Hugenholtz and Turn Nine in FP2, putting them down to pushing too hard and was more optimistic than Leclerc.
He said, “It’s not been the worst of days. We were making progress. We were quite far off in FP1, a lot more than normal. The first lap felt pretty decent, then it was bit of a challenge. We made some progress over lunch but still quite a chunk off. We have some work to do with the setup. Pace-wise, I don’t know how we will find eight tenths but we will try our best.”
But despite being off the pace on Friday Leclerc couldn’t challenge near the front as he finished sixth, that was despite “a lot” of changes over night. He was sixth in qualifying around seven tenths off the pace set by Piastri and was disappointed.
Leclerc told Sky Sports, “I haven’t done the job today and I’ve been very poor. The whole weekend has been a little bit on the backfoot on my side. I’ve been trying to change and to chase something that maybe wasn’t in the car this weekend for one reason or another. We were losing a lot of lap time in two, three corners. I guess that kind of stayed the same during qualifying. Not to an extreme extent as much as in free practice but still we were losing.”
This result comes after Leclerc qualified on pole last time out in Budapest, but his SF-25 felt “a lot” different from the Hungarian Grand Prix – where he eventually finished fourth.
Hamilton was more upbeat though, despite being outqualified by Leclerc as the seven-time world champion started seventh. But it was Hamilton’s first Q3 appearance since July’s British Grand Prix, after a Q1 exit in Belgium and Q2 in Hungary, leaving him buoyed by the progress.
He said, “It’s definitely encouraging, at least on my side of the garage, to have a better result. The boys in the garage deserve it and the team deserve it, so I’m happy I could be there or thereabouts. But of course, we’re not where we want to be. To be seven tenths off, six-and-a-half tenths off in qualifying on a track like this, that’s a huge amount.
When asked where he thought Ferrari’s biggest deficit to McLaren was, Hamilton replied: “The biggest limit for us, I think, is a combination of things. But ultimately, we need more load to go through the corners as fast as McLaren here, for some reason.
Ferrari’s weekend ended in a double retirement with Hamilton crashing out on lap twenty-three followed by Leclerc twenty laps later following contact with Kimi Antonelli. Speaking to Sky Sports after the incident, Hamilton explained how his first DNF of the season unfolded.
He said, “I’m really not sure. I will have to look back at it. As I went up the bank, the rear snapped out and I couldn’t recover. It was a bit twitchy, the car. I think we made real progress this weekend.”
When asked about how the car felt leading up to the crash, the seven-time champion was overall much happier than he generally had been so far this season. Adding, “My pace was looking pretty decent. I was catching George [Russell] and I think I had the pace of a few cars ahead of me. Very unusual to not finish a race and to go out so early, it’s definitely not great, but it is what it is.”
Hamilton, I think was unlucky as he was caught out by wet paint, causing the snap of oversteer while he did correct the snap, he didn’t have time to get the car back on track before he hit the wall.
Leclerc, meanwhile crashed with Kimi Antonelli in the same place. As the Mercedes driver rejoined he tried to overtake going around the inside through the banked corner, but instead understeered into the Ferrari. The collision sent Leclerc into a spin against the barriers, ending his race. He was able to get out of the car unassisted. Antonelli nursed the W16 back to the pits after losing a tyre and continued with the race.
Antonelli was handed a gt-second penalty for causing the collision. Speaking to the media after qualifying in sixth for the race at Zandvoort, Leclerc explained that he had not “done the job”.
Leclerc said, “I’m very disappointed with myself, to be honest. I haven’t done the job today and I’ve been very poor. The whole weekend has been a little bit on the back foot on my side. I’ve been trying to change and to chase something that maybe wasn’t in the car this weekend for one reason or another.
“We were losing a lot of lap time in two, three corners. I guess that kind of stayed the same during qualifying. Not to an extreme extent as much as in free practice but still we were losing. By trying to find something that wasn’t in the car, I think the consistency of the weekend had been hurt a little bit, and I just didn’t do a good job, especially in qualifying – I’m really not happy with my Q3 lap.”
Mercedes
George Russell is leading his teammate Kimi Antonelli in the championship, qualifying results, and he is the only Mercedes driver to take a race win so far this season. However, the Brit says these stats don’t paint the full picture of Antonelli’s start in F1.
The Italian hasn’t had a smooth season despite being a consistent point scorer in the first quarter of the season and scoring his first podium in Montreal, its been downhill since then with him struggling to match Russell. While the youngster’s qualifying and race results have fallen below expectations, Russell argues that he is still improving with every passing race.
Russell told Motorsport.com, “he fact is, his pace delta, to me, is no different, I think. In Canada, I was on pole and he qualified fourth, but he was six tenths behind me. In Belgium, he was out in Q1 and I made it to Q3 – but he was only three tenths off me.”
“So, people look at the underlying result, but the truth is, he’s still making progress, even though we, as a team, have gone backwards. Suddenly, you’re now in the fight where a tenth can be six or seven grid spots. Before, for the positions we were fighting for, a tenth is one position.”
This comes as Mercedes has struggled at some circuits this season, despite bringing a new suspension at the start of the European season. However, the result wasn’t quite as the team predicted.
Toto Wolff said after the team finished third and tenth in Budapest, “Upgrades are here to bring performance. There’s a lot of simulations and analysis that goes into putting parts in the car, and then they’re just utterly wrong.” The team quickly decided to take the new suspension off the car. Modifying parts and tweaking the car week-in, week-out in this manner further impacted Antonelli’s integration into F1.
Antonelli said in Budapest “Since we moved to that suspension, apart from Canada, I’ve been struggling to drive the car and getting the confidence. Also, I didn’t adapt the best because I was always trying to keep my style and to drive the car the way I wanted, but it didn’t really work out.”
Russell admitted that the team had suffered from a “run of bad form” over the races leading up to F1’s summer break, but said he was hoping for a turnaround in fortunes now that his team is back on the right path.
Russell has revealed that he never thought his seat at Mercedes was under threat for 2026, claiming ‘it was more of a question of who his teammate would be’. The Englishman’s contract ends as does his teammate Kimi Antonelli, leading to speculation that either one of them could be replaced by Max Verstappen.
Asked ahead of this weekend’s race, if he ever believed his Mercedes future was in doubt, Russell said: “No, not at all, to be honest. It was more of a question of who my teammate was going to be. I think I’m quite rational to how this sport works, and the team felt like they didn’t need to sign a deal. I didn’t really feel I needed to push it so much when it got to a certain point. I believe in myself more than ever.”
Following practice, Russell conceded the team were not as competitive as they hoped as he ended FP2 fourth, nearly four tenths off the pace set by Norris. while team mate Kimi Antonelli lost out on mileage in FP1 after becoming beached in the gravel.
Speaking on Frday evening, Russell told reporters, “I felt good out there, to be honest. It was great to be back driving again after a couple of weeks out. Conditions for everybody were really tricky.”
“It was really windy and this circuit has a lot of 180-degree corners so, when it is windy and gusty, the car is going through that whole phase of the corner, so it’s more exposed than on other circuits, maybe like Silverstone, where it’s a little bit in and out of the corners – I hope that makes some sort of sense!”
Russell believed in terms of competitiveness, Mercedes aren’t as close as they would like on single lap pace but the race pace was where they expected.
On the other side of the Mercedes garage, it was a tricky day for Antonelli. The Italian ran off the track in the early stages of FP1 and became beached in the gravel at Turn Nine, resulting in the red flags being thrown as his stricken car was recovered. While this resulted in him missing the rest of the session, Antonelli returned to action in FP2 and put himself into P12 on the timesheets.
Reflecting on his day, the Italian said, “I was pushing pretty hard early on in FP1 and then I locked up, and then I got beached and my session was over after just one lap. It was obviously not ideal because I lost some mileage and didn’t do any laps basically. In FP2, I kind of had to build my rhythm. There’s quite a bit of work to do, but we know where to improve and now looking forward to tomorrow
Alpine
De facto team principal Flavio Briatore has admitted he may have mismanaged Franco Colapinto by placing too much pressure on the Argentine driver this season. Colapinto has not scored a point since replacing Jack Doohan at the Emilia-Romagna Grand Prix in May, but suggested in Friday’s team principals press conference it was a ‘mistake.’
The Italian said, “We changed Doohan with Franco and maybe he has the same problem of too much pressure to be in Formula One Maybe we put [too] much pressure on him. We need to consider sometimes that the driver is a human being and we need to sometimes understand exactly what’s going on in the head of these, because they are young.”
“It’s our mistake sometimes to underestimate the human part of the driver. We’re looking always for the timing. Maybe I missed something there in the management of the driver.” Colapinto, who is on loan from Williams, and Doohan’s future are unclear after this season.
Reports ahead of the summer break suggested Alpine might sign Valtteri Bottas or Sergio Perez to replace him, but both driver have signed with Cadillac for the 2026 season. Colapinto has brought significant financial backing to the team after being catapulted to fame in his homeland thanks to an impressive run of results for Williams last season.
Briatore added “I think for a driver it’s very difficult to cope with this car. Maybe it was not the [right] timing to have Franco in Formula 1, maybe he needed another year to be part of Formula 1.”
“I’m not happy if you look at the results, that’s what is important. He tried very hard. We tried very hard with the engineering [team] to please him in everything but really it’s not what I expect from Colapinto.”
Racing Bulls
Isack Hadjar has said his maiden podium felt “unreal” after claiming third for Racing Bulls. The French-Algerian capitalised on his fourth place where he remained for much of the race as he shadowed Max Verstappen before inheriting third when Lando Norris retired with engine failure moving them both up a place.
You could hear the joy as he crossed the line as he yelled on team radio, “Oh my god,” a jubilant Hadjar he yelled on the team radio. “What have we done? The pace was unreal. We’re on the podium, I can’t believe it!”
After jumping into the arms of his Racing Bulls mechanics, he added: “What was most surprising for me is keeping that fourth place for the whole race. Unfortunately for Lando, we took advantage but we made no mistake. The car was on rails the whole weekend and I’m really happy about myself, because I really maximised what I had. Made no mistakes and brought home the podium, so I’m so happy for my guys.”
I feel we have underestimated Hadjar going into this season as we said during the break he has delivered a pretty solid season and this is seeing him emerge as a potential teammate to Max Verstappen.
Williams
Carlos Sainz says his penalty during the Grand Prix as a “complete joke” after a collision with Liam Lawson. The pair made contact on the restart following Lewis Hamilton’s crash and following restart.
At Tarzan (Turn One) the Spaniard went for the outside trying to overtake the New Zealander causing him to clip the Racing Bull. Sainz was ultimately handed a 10-second penalty and two penalty points on his super licence for the collision. The Spanish driver requested over the team radio to visit the stewards after the race to discuss the incident.
The FIA stated: “The front axle of Car 55 [Sainz] was not ahead of the front axle of Car 30 [Lawson] at the apex of Turn 1. Car 55 attempted to stay on the outside of Car 30 and a collision occurred. We considered that Car 30 had the right to the corner and therefore Car 55 was wholly or predominantly to blame for the collision.”
He said after the race, “First of all, the incident, I think, is quite clear. I don’t know how many examples we’ve seen in Turn 1 in Zandvoort of two cars racing side by side without contact. It’s a corner that allows two cars to race each other without really having to have any unnecessary contact.”
“But with Liam, it always seems to be very difficult to make that happen. He always seems to prefer to have a bit of contact and risk a DNF or a puncture like we did, than to actually accept having two cars side by side. Hopefully, it will come with more experience to him because he knows he’s putting too many points on the line just for an unnecessary manoeuvre like he did. But on top of that, to then get a 10-second penalty for it, I think it’s a complete joke.”
I think that kind of corner can be difficult to judge given the banking, but the reason he got the penalty was because the stewards believed he was ‘wholly or predominantly to blame.’
Cadillac
Cadillac announced on Tuesday that Valtteri Bottas and sergio Perez will return to the sport next season- as the teams race drivers. Both drivers have had a year out after being dropped by sauber and Red Bull respectively at the end of 2024.
Mark Reuss, the president of Cadillac’s parent company General Motors, said the decision was based on the drivers’ experience of wins and podiums in F1. He described the choice of Bottas and Perez as “a really good winning combination”.
Bottas won ten races for Mercedes, for whom he drove as Lewis Hamilton’s team-mate from 2017-21, also scoring twenty pole positions. This season the Finn has been the teams reserve driver after three years at Sauber. Perez was let go by Red Bull, at the end of last year despite signing a two year deal last season.
Bottas said, “This isn’t just a racing project; it’s a long-term vision. It’s not every day that you get a chance to be part of something being built from the ground up and helping shape it into something that truly belongs on the F1 grid.”
“I’ve had the honour of working with some of the best teams in the world, and I can already see the same professionalism and hunger here. This is an iconic brand with a big legacy in American motorsport, and to be a part of the story as it enters the world stage of F1 is incredibly special.”
Perez added: “From our first conversations, I could sense the passion and determination behind this project. To help bring such a fantastic company to F1 is a huge responsibility, one I’m confident of taking on.”
Cadillac looked to be searching for an American driver, but Towriss says the team wanted proven experience and ability ahead of ots debut season. But Team principal Graeme Lowdon said in June that Cadillac expect to be backmarkers in their debut season.
The former Marussia and Manor team principal, added “Can you imagine if you’ve owned a team for team years and then another team rocks up and beats you? You would be apoplectic. You would be so annoyed. And so you have to assume that any new team coming in is going to be last, you know, otherwise, you know, what’s gone wrong somewhere else?”
