The FIA have confirmed engine changes for both McLaren F1 stars Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri at the Belgian Grand Prix. Both drivers have been an unstoppable force in the 2025 season thus far, with their Mercedes-powered McLaren aiding them to nine race victories between them.

A special Formula 1 McLaren car model is set to sell for $23 million at auction in August. The car's original owner was Larry Ellison, a billionaire who ranks among the wealthiest people in the world and is the co-founder of the software company Oracle.

Enthusiasts who track individual cars estimate that as many as three dozen F1s are in the United States, and owners ship their cars to Mr. Hines for service. While other brands, including Mercedes-Benz and Porsche, offer upkeep and repair services for vintage models, they serve a much larger constituency.

Oscar Piastri convincingly secured pole position for the sprint race in Belgium, leaving Max Verstappen with no real answer. According to Olav Mol, McLaren’s performance gain may be down to them adopting a clever tactic previously used by Red Bull Racing.

Chassis number 062 could become the most expensive F1 ever sold at auction. The current record holder sold for nearly $20.5 million back in 2021
