F1 champion Verstappen commits to Red Bull ahead of Hungary GP
Formula 1 champion Max Verstappen says he is staying with the Red Bull team for next year, ending months of speculation over his future. 'For me, it's always been quite clear, and also for next year,' the four-time champion said Thursday ahead of the Hungarian Grand Prix. 'I'm discussing with the team already the plans — the things that we want to change for next year, so that means that I'm also staying with the team for next year.' Verstappen has a contract with Red Bull through 2028. At recent motorsport races, he had deflected direct questions about whether he'd stay with the team next year, and there had been indications that a performance-related clause could allow him to exit the contract earlier. The exact details of any clause are not public. Mercedes driver George Russell had said he believed his team was holding talks with Verstappen. Verstappen's comments come less than a month after Christian Horner was removed from his role as Red Bull team principal after 20 years and replaced by Laurent Mekies.

F1 future has never looked more exciting: Ben Sulayem
Dubai Mohammed Ben Sulayem, President of the Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA), believes the future of Formula 1 has never looked more exciting as the 2025 season heads for this weekend's Belgian Grand Prix. With the current race calendar delivering some of the best action seen in recent years, and plenty more to come, Ben Sulayem feels the arrival next year of a new team, a new venue and new regulations will reinforce the championship's global appeal. 'As we reach the mid-point of the 2025 calendar, we are already looking towards next season with a great deal of excitement and expectation,' said the FIA President. 'Our fans have plenty to look forward to, with Cadillac joining the grid as the 11th team, new FIA regulations to improve racing bringing lighter, more agile cars and sustainable fuel, and the addition of Madrid as a new racing destination. 'The level of competition this year is incredible, with so much top-level talent on display. And, the impact of F1 is also supporting the FIA's goal to increase global participation in motorsport. 'Talented young drivers, whatever their background, have a real chance, and the next generation of stars is already coming through.' So, could that mean a first driver from the Middle East on the F1 starting grid? 'Although the Middle East has yet to produce a Formula 1 driver, that may change as more young prospects emerge from a region eager to make a bigger impact in F1 and global motorsport. 'F1's popularity has seen remarkable growth across the Arab world, particularly among young people and female fans. In Saudi Arabia, there is a strong focus on engaging youth at every level of the sport – a trend mirrored in Bahrain, Qatar, and the UAE. This inclusive momentum is vital to ensuring the long-term growth and sustainability of motorsport throughout the region.'
