BRILLIANT STRATEGY: RED BULL'S VERY SMART MAX VERSTAPPEN MOVE WORRIES MCLAREN TEAM
Lando Norris can mathematically eliminate Max Verstappen from the 2025 F1 title fight at the Las Vegas GP. The McLaren driver leads by 49 points, with Verstappen needing a strong result to keep his championship hopes alive.

Red Bull might have played a blinder for their star, but Lando Norris can theoretically eliminate Max Verstappen from the 2025 Formula One drivers' championship match at the Las Vegas Grand Prix.
With 49 points separating the top three drivers in the drivers' standings, the 2025 Formula One season continues this weekend in Sin City with the 22nd of 24 rounds. With 390 points, Norris is ahead of the Las Vegas Grand Prix, surpassing his McLaren colleague Oscar Piastri, who is at 366 points.
Verstappen, a Red Bull racer, is presently 49 points behind Norris and can only afford to fall to a 58-point deficit following the Las Vegas Grand Prix to have a chance of winning the drivers' championship again. Over the course of the Abu Dhabi GP, Qatar GP, and Lusail Sprint, 58 points will be awarded.
In the five rounds leading up to the Sao Paulo Grand Prix last time around, Verstappen had closed the gap to the top of the F1 drivers' championship. Verstappen finished P4 and P3 in Brazil's F1 Sprint and Grand Prix, respectively, while Norris gained 13 points.
With the help of Red Bull's new engine and other setup adjustments, Verstappen moved from the pits to the podium at the Sao Paulo Grand Prix. Coronel is now certain that the power unit will have the strength to help Verstappen win the Las Vegas Grand Prix a second time.
"I think they were very savvy to try for the utmost, the best of the worst situation, in Brazil," Coronel told RacingNews365. And I believe this is much more true now, as the goal in Las Vegas is to have as much engine power and as little downforce as possible.
He went on: "You see, those McLarens are not particularly famed for their straight-line speed, but rather for their downforce. Thus, in my opinion, Red Bull consistently has the highest peak speed, along with Williams.
Mercedes and Ferrari have also been performing well in that area, so we should not disregard them. However, it is really rather simple. I am placing my entire stake on Max.
The high-speed track and cool Las Vegas GP conditions have never been suitable for McLaren
According to Coronel, Verstappen will be among the favourites to win big in Sin City in 2025 after winning the first Las Vegas Grand Prix in 2023. In a one-two for Mercedes, George Russell won the 2024 Las Vegas Grand Prix, which also happened to be Lewis Hamilton's final podium finish for Ferrari in 2025.
Since McLaren's vehicle has never been suited to the Las Vegas Strip Circuit, the team has historically had trouble in Sin City. Given the combination of tyre problems in the chilly desert at night and the aerodynamic requirements for a high-speed circuit, the Woking team is predicted to have difficulties in 2025 as well.
The Dutchman began his comeback in the drivers' championship clash when Verstappen overtook Norris to win the Italian Grand Prix around the fast-paced Monza. Verstappen would have probably been on par with Norris if Red Bull had installed the same setup that he used for qualifying in Brazil.
In order to compete at or close to the front in the 2025 race, Norris and Piastri will be hoping McLaren can apply the lessons they learned in Las Vegas in 2023 and 2024. Piastri finished P10 in the 2023 Las Vegas Grand Prix after Norris crashed, and they were more than forty-three seconds behind the winner in P6 and P7 in 2024.
At the Las Vegas Grand Prix, Max Verstappen's new engine from Brazil might change everything.
However, Tim Coronel is "far more" certain that Red Bull's decision to install a new engine in Verstappen's vehicle in Brazil was a sham that might have cost McLaren drivers Piastri and Norris the race in Las Vegas. Verstappen qualified in P16, but Red Bull used the chance to swap out his engine.
FERRARI TURMOIL: HAMILTON IN; WILL CHARLES LECLERC LEAVE THE SCUDERIA
As Lewis Hamilton pushes his Ferrari blueprint for a title revival, Ralf Schumacher warns Charles Leclerc to have a Plan B. With three races left, can Hamilton's cultural reset mirror the Schumacher era and lead Ferrari back to the top?

Hamilton's plan for Ferrari and a throwback to the Schumacher era
The purpose of Lewis Hamilton's visit to Maranello was not to play tourist. To pull Ferrari out of its title famine and chase number eight, he crossed the aisle. A growing chorus within the squad is demanding that Ferrari allow him to take the lead.
Former Ferrari mainstay Francesco Cigarini, who was part of the team during the Schumacher era, believes Hamilton can initiate a similar cultural revolution, but only if the Scuderia fully supports his path. To put it another way, pay attention, adjust, and design the vehicle and the crew to meet his needs. The extra kicker? If the team's vision is combined rather than divided between two driving philosophies, Charles Leclerc might also gain from that strategy. Because everyone in the organisation was singing from the same sheet, the Schumacher playbook was successful. A new one is what Hamilton is attempting to write.
Leclerc advised having a trapdoor on standby.
Ralf Schumacher has also thrown a grenade from the sidelines, saying that Leclerc needs to come up with a backup plan. This follows John Elkann, the chairman of Ferrari, publicly advising his drivers to "speak less." Schumacher believes Leclerc needs leverage, or at the very least, an escape hatch, if the competitive arc does not bend quickly enough. It is the kind of message that lands differently when results are not flowing.
At Maranello, Leclerc is ensnared, committed, and loved. Contracts, however, do not alter physics. The rumours about other options will not cease if Ferrari fails to perfect the latter stages of development. That is the situation close to the 2025 sharp edge of Formula One.
Zak Brown prods the bear once again.
Zak Brown has never shied away from a headline at McLaren. His most recent? Hamilton had previously been the target of Max Verstappen's "too aggressive" behaviour in Brazil. Where to draw the line between reckless risk-taking and elbow-out genius is a well-known argument. Reputations are not the only factor; stewards, optics, and how drivers adjust when tripleheaders and title pressure intersect are also important considerations.
For Vegas, Williams goes noir.
Williams is turning black under the neon, which is on the lighter side (or darker, literally). The Grove team is obviously embracing the showmanship of the U.S. swing, as seen by the fact that this is their third special livery in four races and their second one-off in a row. A mostly black automobile should appear mean under the lights of Las Vegas. Another question is if it is quick down the Strip.
Sauber's "last lap" acknowledgement before the Audi era
In addition, Sauber is getting ready for Vegas by revealing a "last lap" livery with chequered flag motifs as the team approaches its 2026 conversion to the Audi works project. It is a prelude to the rebranding and a clever, nostalgic touch. Do not expect the farewell race just yet; call it a farewell tour.
With just three races left, where does that leave us? Ferrari must decide whether to fully implement Hamilton's template, which includes the driver-first setup philosophy, data-led development, and precise demands, or to keep balancing two ideas and hope that skill will make the difference. It is about picking a clear path and taking both drivers along with it, not about picking Hamilton over Leclerc. Dynasties are established in this manner.
The math is easier for Leclerc. If the package shows up, he is faithful and quick enough to win large in red. Just because he has a backup plan does not ensure he will employ it. It indicates that he is listening.
Additionally, the stakes for Vegas, the penultimate stop, and the finale are rising as McLaren and Red Bull continue to circle each other with chilly compliments and warmer insults. The margin is one overtake, one penalty, and one safety car.
Three races. Old grudges, new liveries, and a championship photo that yet defies neatness. This run-in has teeth, so buckle up.
YOUNG RACER ELLA HäKKINEN JOINS MCLAREN FOR MAJOR DEVELOPMENT LEAP
Ella Häkkinen, 14-year-old daughter of F1 champion Mika Häkkinen, joins McLaren's driver development program. The promising karter is part of the team's expanded push to support female talent in motorsport.

Ella Häkkinen, daughter of two-time Formula 1 world champion Mika Häkkinen, has joined McLaren's enlarged driver development program, marking a significant milestone in the company's efforts to support female talent in motorsport.
Häkkinen will be the youngest driver in the program at the age of 14, but her racing career is already full of potential.
After winning her first significant international karting competition at the Champions of the Future Academy in Cremona in 2024, Häkkinen went on to win and place on several podiums throughout Europe. Her current goal at McLaren is to test single-seaters in anticipation of 2027's debut in the class.
McLaren Puts More Effort Into Developing Female Drivers
The team's continued dedication to increasing chances for female drivers is demonstrated by McLaren's decision to field two cars in the F1 Academy for the upcoming season.
Ella Lloyd, an F1 Academy charger who is now ranked third in the 2025 championship standings and has already won one race, will be back for a second year.
Ella Stevens, a recent recruit to McLaren's driver development program who placed second in this year's British KZ2 Karting Championship and won the first-ever F1A rookie test, will join her. In 2026, Stevens will make the transition to single-seaters for the first time.
Rodin Motorsport will be the driver of both McLaren F1 Academy entrants, while the F1 Academy McLaren Oxagon will be the name of the second vehicle.
"Proud of the progress we have made," says Zak Brown.
Zak Brown, CEO of McLaren Racing, emphasised the team's dedication to encouraging women in motorsport by saying:
"I am incredibly proud of the progress we have made in this arena, even though I know there is still more to be done to improve female participation in racing," he said.
"I hope this shows all of the incredibly brilliant female karters, drivers, engineers, technicians, marketers, and accountants that our sport is accessible to everyone and that we are sincerely committed to maintaining the fantastic momentum that we have witnessed in recent years."
"I want to thank NEOM for working with us in this area to assist us in opening more routes for women. There are so many options both at and outside of track."
"It is really thrilling to have three young, brilliant female drivers in our Driver Development Program, and I can not wait to watch them race."
The series is expected to expand further with Cadillac joining as a sponsor in 2027 and all ten Formula One teams extending their multi-year commitment to F1 Academy.
With her early triumphs and family legacy, the paddock will be closely observing Ella Häkkinen as she embarks on an exciting new chapter by joining McLaren's driver development program.
