Winners and losers from F1's fiery 2025 Singapore Grand Prix Formula 1's 2025 Singapore Grand Prix didn't deliver a classic, but tempers still flared at Marina Bay, where McLaren made headlines for various reasons and the race saw a surprise winner

- Angry Alonso = best Alonso
- The cork has been pulled out of McLaren's champagne
- But Singapore also uncorked its drivers' intensifying title battle
- Red Bull really is back, but Tsunoda is running out of time

F1 icon Jacky Ickx relives Monza magic with emotional 1970 Ferrari drive On the anniversary of his 1970 Italian Grand Prix pole with Ferrari, Jacky Ickx turned two laps of Monza in the very same Ferrari 312B

A real career highlight to be able to chat with Jacky Ickx in Monza about his wonderful 1970 Ferrari demo and everything it represents.

A hero, a fount of wisdom but above all just a true gentleman.

Piastri senses he is in trouble. By trying to undercut Leclerc, he has inadvertently given Norris an opening to pass them both.

Tribal and toxic social media sour F1 fandom, but what can be done?

F1 fandom is becoming more and more like football, the one sport not to take clues from.

Tackling the issue is not going to be easy when the platforms involved don't seem to care.
