is time for your latest fix of Formula 1 headlines, as the dust continues to settle on a thrilling British Grand Prix.
Toyota likely were not on your bingo card, but they appear in today’s headlines as a sensational F1 return is mooted, while Martin Brundle has proposed a different Red Bull driver option amid the Sergio Perez speculation which has made a comeback. Let’s take a closer look.
Toyota pulled the plug on their Formula 1 project and waved the series goodbye at the end of 2009, but a shock 2025 comeback for the Japanese manufacturer could be on the cards.
Several prominent F1 publications are reporting that Toyota is eyeing a comeback and has held partnership talks with Haas to make it happen.
Daniel Ricciardo was keen to point out “I’m not getting my arse kicked by someone that’s not very fast” in Yuki Tsunoda, as Red Bull reserve Liam Lawson prepares for a potentially important Silverstone test.
Tsunoda already has his future determined for F1 2025, with the Japanese racer re-signed at Red Bull junior team VCARB for next season. However, what lays ahead for his current team-mate Ricciardo is yet to be determined.

Ricciardo was seen as a major contender to return to the main Red Bull team for F1 2025, but currently losing out to Tsunoda in the VCARB intra-team battle, Red Bull opted to retain Sergio Perez under a new multi-year deal.
With 11 points on the board to Tsunoda’s 20, while the qualifying head-to-head reads 9-3 in Tsunoda’s favour, Ricciardo admits his season has not lived up to expectations as he bids to ensure his place on the grid for F1 2025.
Lawson will get behind the wheel of the Red Bull RB20 on Thursday for a Silverstone filming day, as he looks to boost his chances of an F1 2025 drive.
