F1 News Today: Lewis Hamilton blasts FIA decisions as Toto Wolff reveals row with Mercedes chief

Toto Wolff has lifted the lid on a row he had with a Mercedes chief shortly after arriving at the team in 2013.

Alpine 2026 driver lineup decision 'already made'

Alpine have reportedly already made their choice on which driver will be Pierre Gasly's team-mate next season.

But Alonso was back on the tirade in Mexico City, and this time it wasn't just Hamilton in his cross-hairs.

Former F1 boss considering standing for struggling political party

For the vast majority of us, none of us will ever become an F1 team boss or the UK Prime Minister. For Claire Williams, there appears to be a path opening up where she could end up doing both!

Claire used to be in charge of her father Sir Frank's eponymous team up until 2020, and although she was technically a deputy, she was the de-facto boss.

But with F1 now behind her after selling the team, it appears a route into politics is opening up.
