At RB, one of the sport’s longest-serving figures is finally getting his moment. If you don’t know him yet, Alan Permane isn’t someone who usually makes headlines. But he’s been around longer than most, over 35 years in F1, with teams like Benetton, Renault, Lotus, and Alpine.…

Max Verstappen has failed to finish on the podium in three consecutive races, the first time that's happened since he became a world champion. You’d have to go all the way back to 2019 (Russia-Japan-Mexico) to find the last time this happened. Over FIVE years ago!

Teams to score double points in a Sprint this year - McLaren, Ferrari, Mercedes... and Haas! Whoa!

Sprint podiums in Formula 1 - Red Bull - 23 Ferrari and Mercedes combined - 22

Max Verstappen has more Sprint wins on his own than all other drivers combined. Verstappen - 12 Everyone else - 9 (Bottas 2, Piastri 2, Norris 2, Russell 1, Perez 1, Hamilton 1) Sprint King! 👑

How good is Max Verstappen in Sprints? Even if he skips every Sprint for the rest of 2025 and all of 2026 (assuming six per year), he’d still start 2027 with more Sprint wins than anyone else. That good!

Max Verstappen is the ONLY driver to have won a Sprint in every single year since the format was introduced. 2021 🥇 2022 🥇🥇 2023 🥇🥇🥇🥇 2024 🥇🥇🥇🥇 2025 🥇 Consistency in every season!

Max Verstappen's first race with Christian Horner as team boss - RACE WIN! 🥇 Max Verstappen's first race with Laurent Mekies as team boss - RACE WIN! 🥇

With racing back this weekend, expect the Max Verstappen rumours to fire up again - Red Bull or Mercedes, what's next? But let’s set the speculation aside for a second. Not will he move… should he? Should Max Verstappen leave Red Bull and join Mercedes for 2026?
12 races down, 12 to go. It's race week! 🔥
We are so back 😍 It's RACE WEEK at the legendary Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps 🇧🇪 #F1 #BelgianGP
