Formula 1 returns this weekend for the Hungarian Grand Prix and despite a three-week summer break beckoning, there were plenty of talking points from the paddock on Thursday.
The most pivotal was Max Verstappen confirming he would remain with Red Bull for 2026 after months of speculation that he might jump across to Mercedes.
Also confirmed as staying put for next season is Ferrari Team Principal Fred Vasseur, with drivers Charles Leclerc and Lewis Hamilton thrilled by the news.
The title battle between McLaren drivers Oscar Piastri and Lando Norris looks set to rage again this weekend in Budapest, with the former confident in his abilities to claim his maiden Drivers' Championship after victory last time out in Belgium.
