Hello and welcome to GPblog’s daily liveblog, the place where you will find the most enthralling and accurate F1 news from the paddock itself. It’s F1 LIVE!
With the family maintaining strict privacy, Briatore offered a rare, emotional glimpse into how he remembers the seven-time champion. “If I close my eyes, I see him smiling after a victory,” he told Corriere della Sera. “I prefer to remember him like that rather than him just lying on a bed.” He also added that he remains in close contact with Corinna Schumacher, the German’s wife, who continues to fiercely protect Michael’s privacy.
Fast forward to 2025, and the script has flipped. Norris now has a title-worthy car at his disposal and the pressure that comes with it. After crashing into teammate Oscar Piastri in Canada and slipping further behind in the standings, reality has hit hard apparently. Meanwhile, Piastri is thriving. At the F1: The Movie premiere, Norris showed a new level of humility, calling Hamilton’s seven titles and 100+ wins “something I can’t even dream of.”
