Here’s a wild headline we published today : F1 teenager Kimi Antonelli just got his driver’s license — right on time to replace Lewis Hamilton. You read that right. Antonelli didn’t even have a road license when he was picked as the successor to one of F1’s greatest drivers last fall. Have I ever mentioned that this is a silly sport?

The first Chinese driver in Formula 1 is heading back to Ferrari as one of its reserve drivers for the 2025 season

Ferrari appointed Zhou Guanyu as a Formula One reserve driver on Wednesday after the Chinese lost his race seat with Swiss-based Sauber.

Zhou Guanyu has joined Ferrari as a reserve driver for the 2025 Formula One season following his exit from Sauber at the end of last year. Zhou, 25, was announced in the role by Ferrari on Wednesday.

Zhou Guanyu lost his seat at Sauber following the 2024 Formula 1 season, as the team added Nico Hülkenberg and Gabriel Bortoleto as their drivers for the 2025 season and beyond. But the Chinese driver will still be in the paddock this upcoming season.
