Jenson Button expressed his discomfort with Red Bull’s frequent practice of swapping drivers mid-season, something he feels is uncommon and unsettling. This was in light of Daniel Ricciardo being replaced by Red Bull’s reserve driver, Liam Lawson, for the remaining six races of the 2024 season.

He noted that this kind of driver swapping is mainly a strategy used by Red Bull and its sister team, now called VCARB. Ricciardo’s mid-season departure marked the ninth time a Red Bull-affiliated team had…

After leaving Red Bull earlier this year, Newey was linked with several teams, including Williams, as a potential destination. However, Vowles emphasized that Newey, while an exceptional talent, would not have suited the needs of Williams at this point in their restructuring process. Williams, once a dominant force in Formula 1 during the 1990s when Newey played a key role, is now in a much different position. The team, having been sold…
By Max A. Cherney and Stephen Nellis (Reuters) – Computer chip equipment maker ASML (AS:)’s deep cuts to its 2025 sales forecast sparked a sell-off in chip stocks on Tuesday over worries that global chip demand may be faltering. The weaker outlook could, instead, reflect some overcapacity at chip factories that had already stocked up on ASML’s pricey tools during the pandemic and have become better at using them to produce a larger numbers of chips, analysts said.
