F1 News Today: Drugovich Formula E Debut, Massa’s 2008 Season Recap, Bortoleto Compares to Alonso

September 25, 2025

Wednesday (24th) brought hot highlights from both the Formula 1 (F1) and Formula E scenes. Brazilian driver Felipe Drugovich was announced by Andretti to compete in the 12th season of Formula E (2025/26). This marks a significant step in the career of the F2 champion, as he joins a traditional team in the electric category and expands Brazil’s presence on the international grid.

In parallel, Felipe Massa once again spoke out about the process he is undergoing in his quest for the 2008 world title. The former Ferrari driver reiterated that he “will fight until the end,” reinforcing his confidence in the progress of the case and the material presented by his legal team. The dispute continues on legal fronts and keeps alive one of the most debated topics in the paddock in recent years.

In the aftermath of the Azerbaijan Grand Prix, Gabriel Bortoleto revealed that he reported Fernando Alonso for an alleged jump start in Baku. The Sauber driver informed that he had reported to the commissioners a possible irregular movement of the Spanish driver’s car before the lights went out. The episode adds a new chapter to the discussions on start procedures and consistency in sporting decisions.

Off the tracks, a collector’s item caught attention: the overalls worn by Michael Schumacher in 2000 were sold at auction. The historic piece, associated with a victorious period for the German driver at Ferrari, reinforces the market’s appetite for memorabilia from F1 greats and helps preserve the memory of achievements that marked the category.
