Since then, Max Verstappen has finally confirmed his immediate future lies with Red Bull, while team principal Fred Vasseur has signed a contract extension with Ferrari.

Lando Norris sets the pace in opening practice at the 2025 F1 Hungarian Grand Prix. Norris pipped teammate and world championship leader Oscar Piastri by just 0.019s to head the timesheet in first practice at the Hungaroring, as McLaren enjoyed a comfortable buffer over their rivals.

Hungary is the venue for the final grand prix before the F1 summer break, and Oscar Piastri will be looking to extend his lead at the top of the Drivers’ Championship. The Australian’s win in Belgium last time out saw him move 16 points ahead of teammate Lando Norris, who finished second in Spa.
