24 years ago yesterday, Formula One lost one of its most beloved figures in Ayrton Senna after the legendary driver lost his life after injuries suffered during the San Marino GP, and many teams send out their tributes for the Brazilian. Elsewhere, the fallout from that crash between Max Verstappen and Daniel Ricciardo continued.

Our own Matthew Scott has a closer look at the day which shocked the sport to its core, as Senna passed away.

Constructor teams and current figures within F1 sent out numerous tributes to the world champion.

The dust has not yet settled following Verstappen and Ricciardo's race-ending collision in Azerbaijan at the weekend, and the Dutchman is worried that further incidents could lead to team orders being issued - like Force India last year.

The Red Bull duo have received some support from Toto Wolff, however, who would aim to curtail their competitive edge. This has nothing to do with the fact he wants Ricciardo at Mercedes. Stop it Toto, you old flirt.

David Coulthard is an a******e. At least that is the opinion of Kimi Raikkonen , who uncharacteristically did not spare the Scot's feelings when he failed to catch him jumping from a stage.

The FIA has officially confirmed that aerodynamic regulations are going to be changed next season in order to increase overtaking. Hooray!

Ferrari and Red Bull, however, initially were against the idea. Because, as F1 fans, we're not allowed nice things apparently.

Finally, Rob Watts takes us through the stand-out performers from the Azerbaijan GP.
