What happened: Lewis Hamilton says Ferrari boss Fred Vasseur "really is the guy to take this team in the right direction" amid scrutiny of Vasseur's future. That scrutiny follows renewed links between former Red Bull chief Christian Horner and Maranello, just over a year after a previous wave ended with Vasseur signing a new contract.

Why it matters: Ferrari finished Baku with Charles Leclerc fourth and Hamilton sixth while Red Bull left with second place and a confirmed driver lineup. A second public leadership debate in just over a year puts pressure on Ferrari's development direction through the rest of the 2026 season.

What to watch: Watch for any response from Ferrari or Vasseur and whether the Horner links advance beyond rumour.
