FIA president promises to bring V8 engines back to Formula 1

Hamilton: SF-25 is the most difficult car to handle. Lewis Hamilton called the Ferrari SF-25 the most difficult car to handle among all the cars he has driven at Silverstone. Cadillac held talks with Mick Schumacher. Valtteri Bottas is considered the main candidate for a seat in the Cadillac team, which will debut in Formula 1 next season. Other contenders include Sergio Perez, Guanyu Zhou, and Mick Schumacher. Did Collapinto burn the clutch for the second time? Franco Colapinto received five stages to showcase his skill, but he did not perform as brilliantly as he did last year with Williams. Norris: Sometimes it gets pretty scary, but it inspires. Lando Norris won the British Grand Prix, although it could be said that he was somewhat lucky since his teammate received a penalty. But when it comes to winning his home race, Lando didn't mention that... Helmut Marco: The fight for the title is over for us. Red Bull motorsport advisor Helmut Marko summed up the race weekend at Silverstone and stated that Max Verstappen is not fighting for the championship this season. Question: After the race finish, you said on live broadcast that even getting close to McLaren is a difficult task... Helmut Marko: Unfortunately, that's true. After Max Verstappen's pole position, everything didn't seem so bad. Unfortunately, we relied on the weather forecast and chose dry track settings. In the rain, it was clear we had no chance. Question: How disappointed were you with Max's spin during the restart? Helmut Marko: Without the spin, Max could have finished third. We just have to admit that McLaren is much better. Question: What can you say about Nico Hülkenberg's first podium? Helmut Marko: After 239 races, he can only be congratulated on this. Everyone in the paddock is happy for him. Question: How seriously was the possibility of signing him considered at Red Bull a few years ago? Helmut Marko: That was before we signed a contract with Sergio Perez. Looking back, it was always 50/50. Sergio was winning then, and Hülkenberg was having bad races. Now he's better. The older he gets, the fewer mistakes he makes. That's why he has a contract with Audi. Question: At Silverstone, Max caused a sensation by taking the wheel of a Mercedes in virtual racing. What do you think about that? Helmut Marko: I wasn't aware, but why not? In real life, Max drives an Aston Martin, Ferrari, Audi. So there's nothing wrong with him also driving a Mercedes. Question: Rumors are circulating that Max's negotiations with Mercedes are ongoing... Helmut Marko: He may be negotiating, but currently, nothing has changed. Question: Is it true that none of the clauses allowing early termination of his contract are currently applicable? Helmut Marko: That's correct. Question: Does Max have a chance to win the next stage at Spa? Helmut Marko: That's possible if the innovations currently in development are ready for Spa. Temperature and corner characteristics should also work in our favor. Question: Would a win by Verstappen at Spa be a long-awaited turning point? Helmut Marko: Yes, but the fight for the title is still over for us. Only Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri are participating. Norris has impressively re-entered this fight after two outstanding races. Leclerc: The updates should fix the car's weaknesses. After the British Grand Prix finish, Charles Leclerc said that Ferrari is still working on improving the car. The Monegasque expects that the upcoming updates will help address the weaknesses of the SF-25.
