via gpfans.comFormer Aston Martin boss claims team is slower than F2 cars in grim data verdictOtmar Szafnauer, the former team principal of Aston Martin, stated that the Formula 1 team was slower than every Formula 2 car in a straight line during the Azerbaijan Grand Prix.

However, it was noted that the Aston Martins performed better during the race, exceeding the F2 baseline speed.

via f1oversteer.comForget Ollie Bearman, Ferrari must look at Fred Vasseur favourite to be Lewis Hamilton’s successorOliver Bearman, who has been seen as a potential successor to Lewis Hamilton at Ferrari, faces increasing competition from Rafael Camara. With Hamilton likely to remain at Ferrari until at least 2028 and Charles Leclerc's new contract, Bearman's chances of joining the team are diminishing. He will continue with Haas in 2027, but the arrival of Camara could complicate his future prospects. Camara, a Ferrari-backed driver, is currently battling for the Formula 2 title and has shown impressive pace in testing. With Esteban Ocon leaving Haas, Camara is expected to replace him, which could threaten Bearman's position. If Camara performs well, he may fast-track his way to Ferrari, leaving Bearman in a precarious situation regarding his career trajectory.
