Mercedes overtake Ferrari to become F1’s most successful engine builder | Formula 1Mercedes has officially become the most successful engine builder in Formula 1 history after securing their 252nd victory at the Azerbaijan Grand Prix. This achievement allows them to surpass Ferrari, who had held the record for the most wins since 2004. The majority of Mercedes' victories have come from their factory team, but they have also benefited from customer teams like McLaren, which contributed 101 wins. Other contributors include Brawn GP, which won eight races in 2009, and Racing Point, which claimed one victory in 2020. In contrast, Ferrari's record includes only one win that was not achieved by their factory team.

Fred Vasseur admits “it’s hard to work at Ferrari” amid recent firing rumoursFerrari team principal Fred Vasseur has acknowledged the challenges of working at Ferrari amid speculation about his position. He addressed recent rumours of intra-team friction and the pressure surrounding the team, particularly following Lewis Hamilton's retirement at the Spanish Grand Prix and his subsequent denial of calling for changes at Ferrari. Vasseur, who received a contract extension in July 2025, commented on the difficulties faced by the team, especially during qualifying sessions. He noted that the lack of serenity within the team does not help their performance, as seen in the recent Azerbaijan Grand Prix where Charles Leclerc qualified second but was significantly behind George Russell. Vasseur remains focused on improving the team's performance despite these challenges.
