Lovely tribute from Lando Norris to the late and much-missed Gil de Ferran after his Sao Paulo win.
"This one was for Gil, one of my mentors growing up [who died] a couple of years ago. This one was for him, I'm sure he'd be very proud of it all. I was thinking about that while I was driving."

A new name and logo in 2026 for Williams, going from Williams Racing to Williams F1 Team.
The existing ‘W’ logo will be replaced by the one below, which the team says is “a 21st century reimagining of Frank Williams’ famous ‘Forward W’”.

Interesting switch from Pepe Marti, who is leaving Formula 2 to join Formula E with Cupra Kiro next season.
Knowing Arvid Lindblad is ahead of him on the Red Bull conveyor belt, he has chosen to move into a senior motorsport series rather than have a third crack at F2 in 2026.

So that’s George Russell and Kimi Antonelli (finally) confirmed by Mercedes for 2026.
Interestingly, nowhere in any of Mercedes’ comms on this does it specify anything about either of their futures beyond next year.

Nice Zoom background, Rubens!
Safe to say Barrichello is still very much a Ferrari fan, 20 years on from his exit from the F1 team! 🔴
