Sky Sports under fire after Rosberg's 'interview' with Jos Verstappen

In an exclusive article, GPblog could report the broadcaster being under fire after former world champion Nico Rosberg's interview with Jos Verstappen at the Belgian Grand Prix.

At the highest level, the way the Dutchman was pressurised was indicated not to be acceptable and it should not happen again.

Recently, Aston Martin also found the reporting of the German branch of Sky Sports unbalanced due to Ralf Schumacher's critical statements about Lance Stroll.

Still, Formula 1 remains dependent on the broadcaster. Why that is the case? Find out here!

Schumacher suspects Hamilton retiring soon

Former driver Ralf Schumacher sees it is possible for Lewis Hamilton to decide to retire. The Briton had a difficult Grand Prix in Hungary, where he finished in P12.

The German said at the Backstage Boxengasse podcast: "At forty, it's not weird to make such choices. You do not have to keep driving in circles your whole life. And given his comments, I think it’s quite possible he might decide to quit."

He later added: "I stick to it: if nothing drastic changes, he might possibly say at the end of the year: I'm done."

Pirelli tyre test completed at the Hungaroring

Two days after the conclusion of the Hungarian Grand Prix, Pirelli began testing tyres for the 2026 season at the Hungaroring this Tuesday.

Three drivers participated today, including Lando Norris, Liam Lawson and Paul Aron, all driving mule cars.

Testing also continues tomorrow at the circuit near Budapest.
