Hamilton’s Blueprint, Ferrari’s Blind Spot
Ferrari’s 2025 season is unraveling not because of pace, but because of identity. While Lewis Hamilton is actively reshaping the team’s future—injecting his input into the 2026 car and publicly backing team principal Fred Vasseur—Ferrari’s leadership continues to entertain distractions, including rumors of Christian Horner joining the team. Such a move would undermine the fragile, functional alliance currently in place. Add in sponsor-driven livery missteps and strategic blunders, and it’s clear: Ferrari’s path forward depends not on dramatic shakeups, but on finally choosing stability, listening to its drivers, and building a racing-first culture.
Red Bull’s Collapse at Silverstone and the Firing Heard Round the Paddock
Red Bull’s unraveling hit full throttle at the 2025 British Grand Prix—on track and in the boardroom. As McLaren surged to a dominant 1-2 finish and Nico Hülkenberg stunned the paddock with a fairytale podium, Red Bull imploded. Max Verstappen spun, the strategy team cracked, and days later, team boss Christian Horner was unceremoniously fired. This long-form editorial digs into the fallout at Silverstone, the internal politics behind Horner’s dismissal, and the paddock-shaking rumor that Verstappen has already signed with Mercedes. If true, Red Bull didn’t just lose their driver—they lost their identity. The empire is wobbling, and it’s a mess of their own making.
