F1 News Today: Lewis Hamilton tipped for bombshell announcement, Horner causes uproar

An F1 insider has suggested that seven-time world champion Lewis Hamilton, 41, could be approaching a retirement announcement during his second season with Ferrari, where results have fallen short of expectations. Former Red Bull boss Christian Horner has caused controversy with recent comments about ex-driver Max Verstappen, while 2025 F1 world champion Lando Norris has reflected on witnessing Hamilton's first championship win in 2008. Meanwhile, F1 is reportedly considering adding two races to the 2026 calendar, which currently stands at 22 races following the cancellations of the Saudi Arabia and Bahrain rounds due to Middle East conflict.
