At the 2025 Goodwood Festival of Speed, F1 drivers Esteban Ocon and Ollie Bearman tested Toyota's new GT Concept cars, praising their speed and handling, with both cars rumored to have over 900 horsepower and designed for high performance, showcasing Toyota's latest in automotive innovation.
Ollie Bearman received a 10-place grid penalty and four penalty points for the British Grand Prix after violating red flag procedures during final practice, which included speeding in the pit entry and crashing into barriers, as investigated by stewards.
Ferrari provides an update on Carlos Sainz's health, indicating his likely return for the Australian Grand Prix after missing the previous race due to appendicitis. 18-year-old reserve driver Ollie Bearman impressed as Sainz's stand-in, but is expected to step aside as Sainz and teammate Charles Leclerc are likely to lead Ferrari's charge in Melbourne. Team Principal Fred Vasseur anticipates Ferrari being front runners at the Australian circuit and aims to apply pressure on Red Bull, who have won the first two races.
Max Verstappen secured his 100th F1 podium with a dominant win at the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix, extending his winning streak to nine races. He downplayed the milestone, focusing on continuing to achieve the best results. Red Bull's one-two finish also propelled them to the top of the constructors' standings. Verstappen praised Ferrari's debutant Ollie Bearman for his impressive performance, describing him as "fantastic" and acknowledging his strong showing on one of the toughest tracks on the calendar.
