F1 has announced a 10-year deal for a race in Rwanda, only not actually said when that race will happen. Sometime in early 2030s? I’m not sure if any F1 event - or sporting event - has had such a high-profile announcement unaccompanied with an actual date.

It’s been a difficult few months for F1. Some turgid races, inability to run in the rain, ‘human errors’ when it comes to officiating. No official update on the end of the season yet. Title race evaporated. I wonder how much more until the share prices are impacted?

Liam Lawson still doesn't know if he'll be on the 2027 F1 grid. Points in 11 of 16 races and ninth in the championship, yet Red Bull's call could hand his Racing Bulls seat to F2 title contender Nikola Tsolov. #F1 gpblog.com/en/news/red-bulls…

Ferrari still can't fully explain the software glitch that almost ended Lewis Hamilton's race at Sepang before it had even begun. Fred Vasseur: "I don't have a clear answer today." #F1 gpblog.com/en/news/lewis-ham…

Russell's grid penalty opens the door for Hamilton in Singapore. He's 22 points behind, so needs a 23-point swing to take P2. But the penalty only bites on Sunday, and Russell has won three of the five Sprints this season. #SingaporeGP gpblog.com/en/news/lewis-ham…
