Colletta downplays speculation regarding changes in Ferrari F1.
"There are no objective preconditions for change."
Ferrari’s World Endurance Championship director Antonello Colletta has categorically rejected rumors suggesting he might succeed Frederic Vasseur as the Formula 1 team principal. Reports from Italy indicated that Ferrari could contemplate this shift after a lackluster 2025 F1 season, but Colletta emphasizes that there is no discord and no plans for upheaval. "We’re all pursuing our own paths and fulfilling our roles," Colletta stated to Italy’s Formula Passion. "It’s natural for speculation to arise during challenging periods, but that’s to be expected. We are all part of the same organization, so I find no reason to see these assumptions as unusual."
The Italian highlighted that Ferrari’s leadership is united as focus shifts towards the 2026 regulatory overhaul.

Vasseur contemplating engineer change for Hamilton.
"We need to enhance our collaboration with Lewis."
Ferrari team principal Frederic Vasseur has candidly recognized that the Scuderia misjudged the extent of Lewis Hamilton's struggles during his challenging first season with the team. Hamilton finished the 2025 season without a victory, securing only one sprint win and failing to reach the podium in any grand prix, as Ferrari found it difficult to integrate the seven-time world champion after his lengthy tenure at Mercedes. Speaking before Christmas, Vasseur acknowledged that the transition was more challenging than anticipated.
"We’ll start in a better position," Vasseur told Sky Italia in reference to Hamilton and the 2026 season. "Lewis is now familiar with the team, and we understand him much better than we did last year. He is acquainted with all the software and tools. We’ll improve our performance.

Verstappen clarifies the 'number 2' position within Red Bull's hierarchy.
"I would always define a clear number 1 and 2."
As Isack Hadjar prepares for his inaugural season alongside Max Verstappen at Red Bull, the four-time world champion has expressed his views on what he thinks is effective at the top level of Formula 1. Speaking with Viaplay, Verstappen stated that McLaren paid a price in 2025 for failing to establish a definite hierarchy between its title contenders.
"If I were the team principal, I would always define a clear number 1 and 2," Verstappen remarked. "When you’re on your own, you can be more aggressive in your attacks. That’s my preferred approach."
With new champion Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri competing for wins, Verstappen believes that McLaren lost some opportunities.

Verstappen: Red Bull made a mistake by letting Lawson go in '25.
"You're jeopardizing that chance with a leading team."
Max Verstappen has stated that Red Bull Racing moved too hastily in letting go of Liam Lawson after only two races at the beginning of the 2025 season. "Two races for a teammate, I certainly didn't agree with that at the time," the four-time world champion expressed to Viaplay. Lawson, still a rookie, was elevated to the main team to succeed Sergio Perez but was swiftly returned to Racing Bulls due to his struggles in Australia and China. Verstappen elaborated: "Ultimately, someone is losing their chance. You're forfeiting that opportunity at a top team." He went on to say, "I must acknowledge that Liam has performed well at Racing Bulls. One could also say, 'Just move on, I don't care anymore,' but making a decision after just two races is premature.

Germany remains in anticipation as Domenicali dampens hopes for a return.
"We are prepared and willing to engage in any form of discussion."
Formula 1 CEO Stefano Domenicali has tempered expectations regarding the swift return of the German Grand Prix, indicating that it won't be reinstated on the calendar unless the appropriate commercial conditions are met. The last race in Germany occurred during the pandemic at Nurburgring in 2020, while the most recent traditional German GP took place at Hockenheimring in 2019. In an interview with motorsport-magazin.com, Domenicali took a cautious stance. "The positive aspect is that we’re not in a desperate situation, as we receive numerous inquiries from around the world," the Italian noted. "If the German market does not prioritize the return of Formula 1, we must accept that and focus on the future.

The controversy regarding F1 engines intensifies, with the FIA considering a one-year compromise.
"The teams aim to address these issues through weekly meetings."
The controversy surrounding the 2026 power unit has escalated with allegations that Mercedes is not the only one taking advantage of a potential loophole, although it may still be the primary beneficiary. According to Italy’s Corriere dello Sport, Red Bull Powertrains is also attempting to replicate the same system that purportedly enables Mercedes engines to achieve an effective compression ratio nearing 18:1 during operation, despite a 16:1 regulatory limit.
“Seven months ago, a Mercedes engineer who joined Red Bull Powertrains disclosed this secret. Since then, Red Bull has been working to reproduce this system,” the newspaper reports. However, it states that this endeavor has not been easy.

The engine industry is in an uproar over claims of a loophole in the 2026 compression regulations.
"The matter has been and is still being discussed."
Formula 1's engine regulations for 2026 have sparked early controversy following reports that Honda, Ferrari, and Audi are questioning Mercedes and Red Bull over a supposed loophole regarding compression ratios.
As reported by the German outlet motorsport-magazin.com, these three manufacturers have filed a complaint with the FIA, asserting that Mercedes and Red Bull Powertrains have discovered a method to maintain an 18:1 geometric compression ratio under the new rules, despite the stipulated limit of 16:1.
The complaint revolves around thermal expansion. Although the 2026 regulations state that compression must not exceed 16:1, the measurements are to be taken at ambient temperatures.

Fernando Alonso is looking forward to the new Formula 1 season with optimism. The Aston Martin driver expects his team to cope with the switch to the new regulations better than their rivals.
Fernando Alonso: “We actually switched to preparing for the next season as early as April. I’m optimistic because with the new regulations everyone will have to start from scratch, and that gives the chance that someone will do the job better than the others.
We’re starting from scratch, and that always gives hope. Our team has a new base, a new wind tunnel, Honda is supplying engines exclusively to us. We have fuel supplier Aramco, Adrian Newey... All the facts suggest we can be optimistic, but Formula 1 is a tough sport, and everyone might do their job well, so we’ll see.
I’m relaxed. It’s a long season ahead, and a lot will happen in the first three to four months as we study the car’s characteristics, understand which philosophy everyone has chosen, and which direction we need to go next. In the first two or three races we’ll get answers to many questions.
I believe we have everything necessary for a successful season — the people, the base, the equipment. So now it all depends on us.”

At the end of the year Mercedes did not hide their delight that the 2022 technical regulations using ground effect are becoming a thing of the past. One of the smartest teams poured enormous effort and resources into developing several interesting concepts but never found a way to make those rules work.
All these years Mercedes cars suffered from porpoising, were effective only in a narrow range of conditions and worked well with the tyres only in certain weather.

2025 world champion Lando Norris beat his boss, Zak Brown, at an unusual karting tournament organized by the team's sponsors, DeWalt and eBay.
The tournament was set up for two. Lando and Zak had to take turns completing three timed tasks — drive a slalom between cones, perform a pit stop by removing a wheel from another kart, and complete a fast lap.
Youth prevailed. Zak received three five‑second penalties for the slalom and finished with a time of 2 minutes 36 seconds; Lando only had one penalty and won with a time of 2 minutes 31 seconds.
After receiving the winning trophy shaped like an impact wrench, Norris said the trophy was his and he wouldn't give it to McLaren.

Williams team principal James Vowles believes it's impossible to predict the pecking order for next season right now, but the team's goal is to take the next step…
James Vowles: "Don't believe it when they say Mercedes' power units will have an advantage in the new season — nobody knows that at the moment. Partly these rumors are linked to an attempt by one team and one engine manufacturer to shape a particular version of events in order to secure changes that would benefit them.
But no one knows for sure. I seriously doubt that Ferrari will struggle with the engines — they get things right year after year. This year Honda produced a benchmark power unit. I don't think we'll see a repeat of 2014, when one manufacturer pulled away from the rest and everyone else was scrambling to close the gap.

Mercedes finished the season second in the Constructors' Championship — a decent result, but with a large gap to the leader. In a team video, Toto Wolff admitted that he had expected more…
Toto Wolff: "I have mixed feelings about the past season. Looking at the statistics in ten years' time someone will say that we achieved a decent result — we finished second, became world runners-up, but in reality we did not reach our goal.
We wanted to win races and fight for the championship, wanted to be the best, but we couldn't. And that's the pain of the moment — our efforts were not enough."

Chris Rea was not only a singer and guitarist, but also a racing driver.
Yesterday the music world learned of the death of Chris Rea, the British singer, guitarist, performer of remarkable songs — suffice it to say that worldwide sales of his 25 studio albums exceeded 30 million copies.
But this is one of those rare cases in which the world of motorsport will also mourn the departed artist.
Commercial success allowed Chris Rea to indulge his passionate love of cars and racing — for example, not everyone knows that in 1993 he competed in the British Touring Car Championship behind the wheel of a BMW 318. But even before that he raced quite successfully in club-level events in a Caterham 7, then in Lotus and Ferrari sports cars, and in recent years he entered various historic races in his old 1957 Morris Minor painted like a police car.

Usually teams combine the presentation of a new car with its shakedown during the filming day permitted by the regulations, but this time Ferrari decided to do things differently.
We wrote that on January 23 Ferrari will gather journalists at Fiorano, present the new car and announce its name. It has now emerged that on that day the new car will go on track only as part of a demonstration run, the distance of which cannot exceed 15 kilometres.
A filming day would allow them to cover 200 km, but Ferrari does not want to rush — they need to be sure of its reliability first. The first tests in Barcelona will be devoted to reliability work, and the team will hold the filming day later.

The cooperation between Red Bull Racing and Helmut Marko has ended. On December 19 they officially severed ties, which is now confirmed in the United Kingdom’s official companies register, Companies House.
Marko has been relieved of his director positions at Red Bull Technology, Red Bull Advanced Technologies, Red Bull Advanced Services, and Red Bull Powertrains.
On the same day a new director was registered at all of these companies — Alistair David Rew, Chief Financial Officer of Red Bull GmbH.

Pierre Gasly: "It's hard to believe I've only been racing for Alpine for three years — so many changes have happened in that time, both in management and in the team's structure. And every time we had to start all over again.
There were some clear high points, like the podium in Brazil, third place in qualifying in Las Vegas last year, podiums in Zandvoort and during the Spa sprint in 2023, but overall the results are far from what we expected.
At the start of the year, when the team outlined its approach and desire to focus on preparing for 2026, I was the first to say: 'Forget about this season and focus on the future.'
The reality is that we ended up last in the Constructors' Championship.

Marko's departure raises concerns about an F1 'character crisis'.
"Eight out of the ten team leaders are former engineers."
The exit of Dr. Helmut Marko is viewed by commentators as a concern that extends beyond Red Bull, with fears that Formula 1 is losing some of its last notable personalities. Recent filings from UK companies indicate that Marko, aged 82, has been removed as a director from several Red Bull companies, including Red Bull Racing Limited, Red Bull Advanced Technologies, and Red Bull Powertrains, marking his complete departure from the organization after two decades.
In an article for Bild, Michel Milewski suggests that Marko’s exit could present a broader issue for the sport. "What is meant to be a (partial) solution for Red Bull in its quest to regain dominance in Formula 1 risks becoming a problem for the racing series itself," he states.

Cadillac named the race engineers for Bottas and Perez
Cadillac has taken another important step toward its Formula 1 debut, which is two and a half months away. The American team announced the names of the race engineers for Valtteri Bottas and Sergio Pérez, as well as the name of the chief race engineer. Cadillac's chief race engineer role was filled by Charles Leclerc's former race engineer, Xavi Marcos. The Spanish specialist had worked with the Ferrari driver since 2019, but in 2024, ahead of the Imola round, Ferrari decided to replace him with Bryan Bocci. Before joining the Scuderia, Marcos worked as an engineer in Formula 1 for HRT and Williams. At the start of 2025, Marcos was appointed Cadillac's technical director for endurance racing, responsible for projects in the IMSA series in the GTP class and in the FIA WEC in the Hypercar class.

Antonelli: I'm especially pleased by Max's compliments.
Kimi Antonelli’s rookie season was uneven, but the 19-year-old Formula 1 debutant still managed to reach the podium three times and finished the championship seventh in the drivers’ standings, just six points behind Lewis Hamilton, whom he replaced at Mercedes.
Kimi summed up his first year in the top tier of motorsport in an interview with Gazzetta dello Sport.
Question: What did you not yet know about Formula 1 a year ago?
Kimi Antonelli: I didn’t know how to trust my instincts. I’m learning to listen to myself more and to stay focused without thinking about the final result. During the season I sometimes got upset, and at some important moments I had the wrong mindset, thinking more about defence than attack.
