Earth swallows me!Verstappen’s father’s face at the Perez celebration
There are moments in life when you are in the wrong place at the wrong time. And you just have to put up with the downpour.that’s what happened Max Verstappen’s fatherformer F1 driver Jos Verstappenwhen he finished F1 Saudi Grand Prix 2023The current world champion’s father has revealed (in case there are still doubts) that his harmony with the Mexican is zero, and since last season the pilot from Guadalajara with his son. He did it with a very natural reaction, perfectly ‘passing’ Perez’s celebration of being caught by the completion of the race and hugging the mechanics as he arrived at parc-ferme.
The ‘Czech’ mechanic was right by his side and Jos Verstappen, far from hiding it, remained completely stiff as if he wasn’t with him, showing no sign of joy to his son’s partner. Of course, when I finished hugging the mechanic, “Czech” and Joss gave me a high-five on the initiative of the Mexican.
As if that wasn’t enough, Joss later sarcastically referred to Perez’s victory. “I don’t think Perez has a lot of chances[to win]. He sees that too and runs full speed ahead,” he said.
As already seen in the race, the tension between the two Red Bull teammates is enormous. Jeddah At his round, Max kept pushing non-stop to catch up to Perez, revealing what Red Bull didn’t want: the true pace of his car. And at the end of the event, he stole the fastest lap on the final lap from Mexico to maintain the World Cup lead and prevent the new leader from becoming ‘Czech’. The Mexican was surprised when Max risked an attack between the walls of Jeddah on the last lap.
This adds to Verstappen’s controversial radio show on their first date in Bahrain and Perez’s threats just before the start of the World Cup that if Max doesn’t help him, neither will he.

Mercedes Formula 1 team president Toto Wolff believes that driver George Russell is ready to become a champion, but young Andrea Kimi Antonelli still needs time.
“Nobody knows how much power the Mercedes engine will have in 2026. We don’t know what the other teams’ engines will be like either. Is Russell ready to take the championship if given the right car? 100%, absolutely ready. There is nothing to add here. He is ready to be champion.”
“Antonelli is only 19 years old. What kind of peak are we talking about? He can be at the peak after 3-5 seasons. I believe we should give him this time to gain experience.”
“It’s moving in the right direction,” Wolff said.
F1 will have new technical regulations on engines and aerodynamics from the 2026 season.

Haas driver and Ferrari development program graduate Olliver Berman said his goal is to race in the Scuderia in the future and win victories with the red car.
The Briton was already racing for Ferrari at the 2024 Saudi Arabian Grand Prix when he replaced Carlos Sainz due to appendicitis. He has since made significant progress at Haas and will remain with the team at the start of the new season.
Berman congratulated Isak Hajar on his promotion to Red Bull and said:
“Yes, of course I’m a little jealous that he will be fighting for high results in a team like Red Bull. But I’m sure my time will come, too, and I’m very happy for that. We’ve been racing since Formula 3 and he has shown incredible talent and speed. It’s great that the new generation of drivers are being recognized and now both Kimi and Isak are in the top teams. That’s great. All you have to do is wait for your chance and it will definitely come.”
Berman said about his dream of competing for the Scuderia:
“This is definitely my dream. It motivates me to do my best and I get up every morning to do my best in everything I do. I want to perform in the red. I want to win in the red. That’s my life goal. I’ve been lucky enough to feel it once already and I know what it feels like, so I try to get back to that regularly.”

F1 team managers determined the top 10 drivers of the season. Ferrari’s location will surprise you
Traditionally, at the end of the season, Formula 1 compiles ratings of drivers, teams and individual moments. This year, team leaders also participated in the annual survey and voted jointly to determine the top 10 pilots of the season.
Just like last year, first place went to Max Verstappen. Second was Lando Norris, who won his first world championship. The third and fourth places corresponded to the position in the championship behind Oscar Piastri and George Russell. The top 5 was completed by Fernando Alonso, who received the anti-award as the unluckiest driver this season.
Interestingly, although Ferrari driver Charles Leclerc only finished seventh, he is in the top 5 or even top 3 in most of the other rankings. The top rookie rated by team leaders was Haas’ Olliver Berman.
Among those taking part in the vote were Formula 1 team bosses: McLaren boss Andrea Stella, Mercedes boss Toto Wolff, Williams boss James Vowles, Red Bull boss Alan Perman, Aston Martin management, Haas boss Ayao Komatsu, Sauber boss Jonathan Wheatley and Alpin managing director Steve Nielsen.
The full top ten drivers by team leaders and comparison to last year’s rankings are shown in the photo below.
