- Maranello sources also position Oliver Bearman as a ready Plan B should circumstances change, even as Hamilton signals he intends to continue with Ferrari.
- Red Bull reports progress on its Ford-supported in-house power unit for 2026, with Ford’s Mark Rushbrook providing an update as the team manages expectations for initial performance.
- Isack Hadjar will replace Yuki Tsunoda at Red Bull in 2026, and Guenther Steiner contends the fresh regulations give the rookie a cleaner baseline alongside Max Verstappen.
