Verstappen earns 55 million for each season he drives, 20 million more than Hamilton gets from Mercedes, which failed to provide the seven-time world champion with a winning car this year. According to Helmut Mark, Hamilton would prefer to move to Red Bull, but there for him according to Christian Horner

F1 teams will be able to use four power units without penalty in the 2023 season after the FIA approved additional powertrain elements. The 2023 season will be a record number of races, but because of concerns about the many penalties for powertrain changes, F1 has allowed teams to have four, instead of three, units of internal combustion engines, turbochargers, MGU-H and MGU-K. In addition to these changes, the F1 Commission adopted some others, such as the definition of working on a racing car during a pit stop. This part was in the spotlight at the Saudi Arabian GP when Fernando Alonso was penalized for an improperly served 5-second penalty, which was later withdrawn. From Australia onwards, it is now considered to be work on a racing car even if the lifter is touching d
A video of a former Mercedes engineer has surfaced online, revealing the reason why the German manufacturer's team enjoyed such a huge advantage when introducing the new 6-cylinder hybrid powertrains. In the conversation, the alleged engineer of the Mercedes team reveals that the team invested all its resources in the development of new engines, which they started long before 2014, when they were used for the first time and began to be tested on the test bench as early as 2011. But the most surprising part is conversation, where the engineer says that with the collected data they turned to the FIA, which then adapted the rules to their engines, so to speak. It has been known for a long time that Mercedes started developing new power units years before the introduction, among other things, in 2017 the former president

"They're definitely holding back," Russell claimed after the race. "It's almost embarrassing for them to show their full potential, because the faster they go, the harder the sport's leaders will try to slow them down. Realistically,
George Russell has questioned the decisions of the race management this season and expressed his displeasure at the unnecessary red flag in the first crash of the Australian Grand Prix. The race at Albert Park was stopped for the first time on lap nine when Alex Albon crashed into the guard rail. The race management first sent a safety car to the track, but then the race was stopped with a red flag, as according to the FIE there was too much sand and debris on the track. The race was then stopped twice more, a record as we have never seen three red flags in one race, all of which ended in highly questionable circumstances that led to the Haas team filing a protest against the final results. The American team hopes that they will be able to change the order by which the podium with the third place would be
