It has been an interesting day once again in the world of motorsport, with another speedy F1 news day. Here are the three best stories from 13 November 2025 for GPblog's daily round-up. Juan Pablo Montoya believes
Lewis Hamilton could be 'unstoppable' with
Ferrari once the Italian team listens to the seven-time world champion.
Following the Ferrari Chairman
John Elkann's comments that the Ferrari drivers should "talk less", Montoya weighed in on the drama and claimed that Ferrari will do better in the "long run" if they listen to the seven-time world champion.
This comes after both Hamilton and
Charles Leclerc suffered a double DNF at the
Brazilian Grand Prix, leaving Ferrari with their third point-less race of the season.
Montoya said: “I think Lewis Hamilton has a point to prove, he won’t lie down and submit to defeat. He will win the championship or die trying, as they say. He will give it a big push next year. His frustration is due to him thinking he’s doing more than what Ferrari are doing for him.
“I think he feels he’s putting in a lot of effort to try make things work, but the team aren’t matching that energy. Give Hamilton the right tools and he’ll be there competing at the top. When things click and the motivation to compete is back, oh my god, Hamilton will be unstoppable."

The European Commission has opened an antitrust investigation into
Red Bull.The Austrian brand is being investigated for restricting competition in the energy drink market. The regulators suspect that the company has developed a Europe-wide strategy to restrict competition from rivals selling products larger than 250 millilitres, particularly in the Netherlands.
This follows previous raids that took place back in 2023 after allegations by rival brand Monster Energy. The company challenged the inspection as disproportionate at the European Court of Justice, but it failed.
The European Union's competition commissioner, Teresa Ribera, said: "We want to see if these practices may be keeping prices high and limiting choice of energy drinks for consumers. This investigation is part of the commission’s continued efforts to enforce competition rules in the food supply chain to the benefit of European consumers."

The 2025
Formula 1 season will not end with the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, as many originally thought. Two days after the last race, a final Pirelli tyre test is scheduled, in which all
Formula 1 teams are required to take part.
A few months ago, it very much looked like there would be no annual post-season tests this year. After all, the technical regulations will be completely overhauled starting in the 2026 season, which would make further testing with the current generation of
F1 cars unnecessary.
Rookies will also take part in the Formula 1 post-season test in Abu Dhabi as part of the Young Driver Test, and current Grand Prix drivers, on paper, will participate in the Pirelli tyre test.
