Christian Horner has responded to George Russell's claim that talks to take Max Verstappen to Mercedes are "ongoing."

Sky Sports pundit Craig Slater called for Mercedes to keep George Russell unless Red Bull driver Max Verstappen hits the driver market.

Max Verstappen has paid a big compliment to possibly his biggest F1 rival, but did so in error. The Red Bull star was participating in a pre-race media event with team-mate Yuki Tsunoda, in which they were each handed a pair of glasses with a mask attached and had to guess whose face they were wearing.
