McLaren boss Zak Brown said the looming threat of Max Verstappen will keep racing rules in force despite the team wrapping up the constructors' title in Singapore two weeks ago.

Carlos Sainz has criticised the way Formula 1 broadcasts live races, saying there is an over-emphasis on the reactions of driver girlfriends and celebrities during key moments.

Lewis Hamilton has reaffirmed his belief Ferrari can be title contenders during his time with them, saying the media only focuses on the negatives of the team's 2025.
