Cadillac is considering as many as eight different drivers for the two new seats which will be created when the team joins Formula 1 next year.

Ferrari boss Fred Vasseur believes Formula 1’s 2025 season will largely be dictated by qualifying instead of races, which has seen a limited number of overtakes so far. Unlike the weather-affected Australian Grand Prix, which saw a massively shaken up order and overtakes across the field, China and Japan’s race finished close in line to the grid order. Japan’s race…

The result was a processional Japanese Grand Prix where drivers followed each other around, largely unable to attack for fear of their tyres overheating. Qualifying produced some excellent performances, however, and heavily influenced this weekend’s ratings. Lando…
