Yet the Spanish GP ended in controversy with Max Verstappen's clash with George Russell and his subsequent 10-second time penalty. The Dutchman is now just one penalty point away from a race ban, and will have to keep it clean for the next two races.
Lewis Hamilton will be eyeing a major improvement after a difficult race in Spain, though his teammate Charles Leclerc did finish on the podium for the second consecutive race.

Cadillac counts down to its F1 debut with lessons from NASA and the 'inverse Ted Lasso'
The clock is ticking until Cadillac joins the Formula 1 grid. Literally. 'On the wall of every office that we have is a countdown clock,' team principal Graeme Lowdon told The Associated Press in a recent interview. 'It's counting down to two things.' One is the first 'fire-up' of the car with its engine, and then the other is free practice at Cadillac's first official F1 session in Melbourne, Australia in March next year. It will be the start of a new mission for General Motors, and the end of a process to join F1 which included years of negotiations, a change of name and leadership, even a U.S. Justice Department investigation. Ted Lasso in F1 As a British racing boss creating an American team, Lowdon feels like an 'inverse Ted Lasso,' the fictional U.S. soccer coach in London. Hired in part for his experience navigating the sport's complex process for approving new teams, Lowdon says he's worked hard to adapt to U.S. racing culture for a team which will build its cars out of Fishers, Indiana. There's also a design and manufacturing site near the British Grand Prix track at Silverstone, but Cadillac has a vision of running an 'American team,' Lowdon said. The idea is to get as many different perspectives on designing a race car as possible. 'Formula 1 is a very creative business,' Lowdon said. "With diversity of thought comes innovation and hopefully lap time." Lessons from NASA Past attempts to operate an F1 team outside of the sport's heartlands in England and Italy have rarely worked. Cadillac is taking lessons from the 1960s space race. Rather than read a list of racing failures, Lowdon looked for non-F1 projects with 'immovable deadlines, huge amount of public scrutiny, multiple sites, highly technical," he said. 'The best example I could find were the the Apollo missions.' 'I looked a lot into how NASA had done the management structure of the business. I thought there were some very clever things that they did that we could build into a new design of a Formula 1 team, a complete new way of managing it. The primary objective was to maximize peer-to-peer communication between engineers.' F1's other American team, Haas, is more reliant on Europe. Its HQ is in North Carolina but the team is largely based in Britain and designs its cars in Italy. Drivers on the short list While existing teams have their race drivers heavily involved in the design of 2026 cars, Lowdon said the fact that Cadillac hasn't confirmed who its drivers will be shouldn't be seen as a setback. There are 'three or four' names on Cadillac's shortlist halfway through the 2025 season and Lowdon says Cadillac has more leverage in contract discussions than usual. 'Because we're out of sync with the other teams, we're not under the same time pressure,' Lowdon said. 'No driver is sitting there saying, 'Oh yeah, Aston Martin are going to sign me next week,' if you don't sign them.' The new team could be a way back to F1 for drivers like Sergio Perez, Valtteri Bottas or Zhou Guanyu who lost their race seats for 2025. There's also been speculation about various Americans and ex-F1 drivers like Mick Schumacher. Bottas, a 10-time race winner for Mercedes, joked about the race to sign for Cadillac with a viral video on social media remarking on the 'nice seat' in a Cadillac SUV. 'I've known him for a long time. I know his sense of humor, I appreciate his sense of humor and he's got a big fan following,' Lowdon said. 'My phone got super busy almost immediately when (Cadillac's F1 entry) was confirmed. It was very clear that everyone wants to drive a Cadillac and so I guess Valtteri has just made it even more clear.' ___ AP auto racing:

McLaren Relying on Lando Norris, Oscar Piastri to Help It Sell Cars
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. With a four-car portfolio, a winning Formula 1 program and fresh ownership, McLaren Automotive is looking to lean into its successes to sell more cars. "We are clearly positioned as a performance luxury car brand, and we are probably most authentic as a branch with a racing heritage," McLaren Automotive's Chief Commercial Officer Henrik Wilhelmsmeyer told Newsweek from the grounds of the company's Carmel, California brand house during Monterey Car Week. "There are not many brands out there that come from the racetrack. We see many more brands coming from other angles and moving into racing," he continued. Though the car company is young (founded in 1985 as McLaren Cars, 2010 as McLaren Automotive), McLaren's racing heritage is strong. "I think the way how we look at things is probably slightly different than the more establish[ed] brands. It always goes back to where we are coming from, and this is racing. You clearly see a performance DNA in the brand and the product. And with our founding father, Bruce McLaren, I think that ethos that he brought into this company [is what] makes that brand so unique and loved by our clients today," Wilhelmsmeyer said. #4 Lando Norris (GBR, McLaren F1 Team), #81 Oscar Piastri (AUS, McLaren F1 Team), F1 Grand Prix of Hungary at Hungaroring on August 3, 2025 in Budapest, Hungary. #4 Lando Norris (GBR, McLaren F1 Team), #81 Oscar Piastri (AUS, McLaren F1 Team), F1 Grand Prix of Hungary at Hungaroring on August 3, 2025 in Budapest, Hungary. HOCH ZWEI/picture-alliance/dpa/AP Images Bruce McLaren started his race team in 1963. The racing operations unit has competed in Formula 1, IndyCar, Formula E, Extreme E and F1 Sim Racing, winning heralded races including the Indianapolis 500, 24 Hours of Le Mans and the Monaco Grand Prix. And this year the Papaya Orange team is winning nearly every Formula 1 race. Its driver Oscar Piastri sits atop the driver standings with 12 podiums and six wins (284 points), while its other driver, Lando Norris, is only slightly behind with 12 podiums and five wins (275 points). The next-closest competitor, four-time Formula 1 World Championship winner Max Verstappen, is in a distant third with just two wins and five podiums (187 points). Piastri and Norris aren't just winning races, they've won legions of fans. Norris has nearly 10 million Instagram followers and 26.4 million likes on TikTok. Piastri has about half that. McLaren Automotive has 11 million Instagram followers and 7.6 million likes on TikTok, numbers dwarfed by its racing division's 16 million followers and 214 million likes. "I think our Formula 1 team does currently a fantastic job for the brand. If you look back a few years, back before the Papaya era, how things have changed. You look at the Formula One races, and you see an ocean of Papaya, the fans supporting it, and it has helped to uplift the awareness for McLaren's brand, and the awareness that they are not only race cars, but there's an automotive business associated to it, and we see that that works incredibly well," Wilhelmsmeyer said. "We are very accessible as a brand, and we want to be approachable. And I think it's a bit of the attitude and mindset that we have. We don't want to be seen as an arrogant luxury brand. We are a luxury brand, but I would hope our behavior and attitude, also towards fans and customers, is a different one, a very approachable one, and very engaging," he continued. Wilhelmsmeyer sees that approachability as being key to McLaren Automotive's future success. He said: "Not the fact that we are a winning team, but the behavior that is demonstrated in the team. Look at Zak's [Brown, CEO of McLaren Racing] team. Look at the two drivers. They have a fair competition. There's no order saying this is the one, number one driver, and this is the number two driver. And I think it's this, this attitude and spirit that customers love, the fans love. And, it's a team spirit. [McLaren is] not an ego-driven brand or company dominated by one individual or a superhero. It's always this team spirit... There's this positivity that comes with the brand, and there is less of an arrogance towards things."
