The Hungarian GP 2025 preview is loaded with drama — from Max Verstappen confirming he will race with Red Bull in 2026 even though his contract runs till 2028 and despite rumours of a Mercedes approach, to McLaren’s fierce Norris‑Piastri title battle, and Fernando Alonso’s injury handing Felipe Drugovich an FP1 opportunity.
Is there a linkage between Verstappen's statement & Red Bull Racing's sacking of Christian Horner? And of course, did Toto Wolff and Verstappen meet in Sardinia a few weeks ago?
