Live F1 | Red Bull rising star ready to land in F1? Major Russell transfer rumour for 2026 hits the paddock

According to the Times, Aston Martin has expressed interest in the Mercedes driver. Russell does not have a contract with the German team past 2025. It is known that he is still undergoing negotiations, but it is not known if they have been successful. Despite the rumour, it seems most likely that he will stay at Mercedes, as Aston Martin has two drivers for 2026 already and reserve drivers in the wings.

Dutch analyst Christijan Albers believes that Isack Hadjar should begin to look elsewhere for a future Formula 1 seat. The rookie has been off to an impressive start, but the possible future move to Red Bull is something he should not want.

Albers said, “Everyone is going to have a hard time next to Max. You really have to be careful there. If I were Hadjar's management, I would have said 'no'. If I were Hadjar's management, I would make sure he doesn't go to Red Bull. And then I would've done everything possible this season to see if you can get him out of the Red Bull family."

Lando Norris explained how he deals with his intrusive thoughts after the Spanish Grand Prix. He admitted that sometimes he isn't able to deal with them, but he also admitted that he has a good support system around him.

He said, "It’s tricky. Sometimes you don’t, even when you want to be thinking of all the positives and things like that. But what I’ve learned more to do is turn those thoughts into productive things.”
