We hope you’ve all taken a deep breath as we delve into the first non-Formula 1 race weekend in a while — but that doesn’t mean the news has stopped flowing!

Here are the latest headlines from the Formula 1 world that have had us on our toes as we build up to the Hungarian Grand Prix.

Adrian Newey gives ‘really special’ verdict after driving title-winning Ferrari at Goodwood
Adrian Newey said it was “really special” after he got behind the wheel of his old friend Niki Lauda’s Ferrari 312T at Goodwood.

Lauda won his World Championship with the 312 and set one of the biggest margins between first and second place in F1 history and even five years after his death, it remains one of the iconic vehicles of the sport’s history.

“To to be driving Niki’s old car, his Championship-winning car, is so special it really is,” Newey said. “I knew Niki quite well and so to be in here sitting in the same seat and and just trying to think what he must have been experiencing and how he’s prepared himself before the start and everything is really special.”
