The Formula 1 season will step up a gear this weekend as Max Verstappen and Lewis Hamilton’s rivalry intensifies following their collision last time out.
The British Grand Prix saw Verstappen and Hamilton – No.1 and No.2 in the driver standings – collide inside a white-hot opening lap. Verstappen crashed out, while Hamilton went on to win the race.
The result means that the gap has narrowed from 33 points to just eight going into Hungary, a track where Hamilton has triumphed eight times so far.
McLaren and Ferrari continue to battle well in the upper-midfield, with British sensation Lando Norris looking increasingly competitive in his surroundings.
Charles Leclerc picked up a podium finish at Silverstone as he continues to build on a valiant season for Ferrari.

Formula 1 driver line-up 2021
The driver line-up looks as exciting as ever, if not more so, with iconic Spanish superstar Fernando Alonso back in the sport and hoping to achieve more than simply making up the numbers.
Hamilton is back on a one-year deal with Mercedes as he aims to win his eighth world title, while Daniel Ricciardo has switched teams and is likely to be more competitive in 2021 than in recent campaigns.
Sebastian Vettel may have also been given a new lease of life in a dark horse car, while there’s an M. Schumacher back on the grid in the shape of legendary champion Michael’s son, Mick, who will compete in his debut Formula 1 campaign.
We’ve rounded up the full F1 driver line-up 2021 so that you can make sense of the grid before lights out in Bahrain.
Formula 1 salaries 2021
Formula 1 is a glitzy world that goes beyond the track. The rockstar image is well and truly alive in a number of the big names on the grid, with lifestyles supported by hefty salaries across the grid.
There’s a new cost cap enforced in 2021 that limits team spending on the car itself to $145m this season in a bid to increase competition across the field.
Right now, there is no driver salary cap, but discussions are ongoing as to a limit that can be paid to drivers across the grid.
Check out all the F1 2021 salaries for the season ahead, showing how much F1 drivers will earn in 2021.
Formula 1 teams 2021
Mercedes are back and they mean business once again with their W12 car aiming to continue their untouchable streak of form.
Despite Max Verstappen’s best efforts in 2020, his Red Bull simply couldn’t come close to a credible world title challenge, but with Racing Point rebranded as Aston Martin and McLaren on the rise, the competitive midfield battle could force one or two teams to step up a gear and challenge at the top.
Ferrari will be desperate to bounce back from a horrendous season, while Haas will also hope for improvements and Williams continue to search for points following a dismal 2020.
Check out the full list of F1 teams competing for glory in 2021.
