Ferrari’s New Era, Verstappen’s Loyalty & the Real Story Behind Horner’s Exit

In this episode of Formula One Expresso News, I dig into the biggest stories shaping the grid as we head into the summer break.

Fred Vasseur has signed a new three-year deal with Ferrari. Max Verstappen has confirmed he’s staying at Red Bull. But Christian Horner’s future? That’s still not fully resolved.

I also look at Spa’s wet weather issues, why the tyres still aren’t doing the job, and how silly season this year feels more about politics than driver swaps.

📌 Takeaways:

• Vasseur’s new deal keeps him at Ferrari until 2028

• Internal pressure at Ferrari is still building

• Verstappen isn’t leaving Red Bull before 2026

• Wet tyres continue to fail in real-world race conditions

• Horner’s exit hasn’t quieted the speculation

• Constructors’ standings are more than just bragging rights

• Drivers are pushing for better wet weather safety
