Hungría dejó una de esas carreras que ayudan a reconciliarse, aunque sea parcialmente, con la Fórmula 1 de 2026. Sin el superclipping como protagonista absoluto, el Hungaroring permitió ver una prueba intensa, con luchas, estrategias diferentes y una pelea por la victoria que no quedó cerrada hasta muy tarde. Una carrera que toca analizar a fondo en el primer episodio de la semana del Pocast Técnica Fórmula 1. Haciendo los deberes antes del verano. Ganó Lando Norris, y no fue una victoria menor. McLaren ha dado un salto importante y ya no parece un equipo que aparece sólo cuando el circuito se adapta perfectamente a su coche. En Hungría logró la pole, ganó la carrera y confirmó que se mete de lleno en la lucha con Mercedes, Ferrari y Red Bull por las posiciones importantes. Eso es, quizá, lo más interesante de esta temporada. Más allá de todos los problemas de esta normativa, hay campeonato. Y no un campeonato pobre, sino uno con cuatro equipos capaces de pelear por poles, podios y victorias. Mercedes sigue teniendo una referencia enorme en Antonelli, Ferrari ha recuperado presencia con Hamilton y Leclerc, Red Bull sigue siendo competitivo con Verstappen y Hadjar, y ahora McLaren vuelve a golpear con Norris. El resultado final en Budapest habla de esa igualdad. Norris ganó por delante de Hamilton, Leclerc, Antonelli, Verstappen, Hadjar y Russell. Siete pilotos de cuatro equipos distintos en la zona caliente de la carrera. Si uno mira sólo los nombres y las diferencias de rendimiento, la temporada tiene argumentos de sobra para enganchar. El problema es que no siempre la normativa permite que esa igualdad se traduzca en espectáculo. En Hungría, al menos, la pista ayudó. Es un circuito donde adelantar nunca ha sido fácil, pero con más frenadas, menos tiempo a fondo y menos exposición al desastre energético que vimos en Spa. Por eso la carrera pudo respirar mejor. La salida ya alteró el guion. Piastri superó a Norris, que se fue ancho; Verstappen se colocó tercero; Leclerc perdió posiciones tras una mala arrancada; Hamilton quedó por delante del monegasco; Antonelli se situó sexto; y Russell cayó hasta el fondo por un problema técnico que Mercedes reconoció después. En pocos metros, el Gran Premio quedó abierto. La lucha entre Hamilton y Verstappen fue uno de los grandes hilos de la carrera. El Ferrari salió con blandos e intentó el undercut parando pronto, en la vuelta 14, para quitarse de encima al Red Bull. Pero Verstappen volvió a demostrar que, incluso cuando no tiene el coche más rápido, puede sacar petróleo de cualquier oportunidad. Su adelantamiento a Lawson y Hamilton en la vuelta 16 fue una de las maniobras del día. Red Bull también jugó bien con Hadjar. El francés volvió a hacer una carrera muy seria, supo leer su papel y permitió al equipo aprovechar una ventana mínima con sus dos coches en posiciones útiles. No todo fue ritmo puro; hubo también inteligencia estratégica. En una temporada tan comprimida, eso marca diferencias. Ferrari dejó señales mixtas. Hamilton estuvo en la pelea, pero acabó con una sanción de cinco segundos. Leclerc tuvo momentos de mayor ritmo, aunque su carrera volvió a depender mucho del comportamiento de los neumáticos. El propio piloto explicó que había juegos de duros que funcionaban de forma muy distinta dentro del mismo rango, algo que condicionó fases enteras de la prueba. También hubo problemas para McLaren. Piastri se detuvo en la vuelta 56 y abrió la puerta a dudas de fiabilidad justo cuando el equipo parece haber dado un salto competitivo. La victoria de Norris pesa mucho. Sin embargo, si McLaren quiere pelear con regularidad contra Mercedes, Ferrari y Red Bull, necesita que los dos coches puedan cerrar los domingos sin sobresaltos. Antonelli se va cómodo a las vacaciones. Antonelli, por su parte, no ganó esta vez, pero sigue liderando el Mundial con una renta muy cómoda. El italiano quizá no tuvo el fin de semana perfecto, pero volvió a estar arriba en una carrera en la que Russell quedó muy tocado. La temporada sigue avanzando y, salvo giro importante, Antonelli empieza a tener margen para gestionar. Está claro que Hungría no arregla todos los problemas de la Fórmula 1 de 2026. Los adelantamientos siguen dependiendo demasiado de la gestión de potencia y no tanto del riesgo puro del piloto. Eso sí, vuelve a dejar patente algo muy importante: cuando el circuito no expone tanto las debilidades de los coches, esta temporada tiene mucho que ofrecer, parece la típica temporada con la que todos soñábamos, con varios equipos en la lucha. Hay igualdad, hay tensión y hay varios equipos en condiciones de ganar. Y eso no es poco. De hecho, es muchísimo. La pena es que la normativa no esté a la altura del campeonato que tenemos ahora mismo. Escucha el episodio completo en la app de iVoox, o descubre todo el catálogo de iVoox Originals

Die Formel 1 verabschiedet sich in die Sommerpause – und der Große Preis von Ungarn hat noch einmal jede Menge Gesprächsstoff geliefert. In der neuen Folge von Backstage Boxengasse analysieren Peter Hardenacke und Ralf Schumacher den starken Auftritt von Weltmeister Lando Norris, der bei McLaren noch einmal einen Schritt nach vorne gemacht hat und inzwischen der unumstrittene Teamleader zu sein scheint. Auch Max Verstappen sorgt trotz eines schwierigen Red-Bull-Wochenendes einmal mehr für Staunen – mit einer Leistung, die laut Ralf Schumacher „eine andere Welt“ war. Außerdem diskutieren die beiden über das Chaos rund um die blauen Flaggen und die Kritik an Carlos Sainz und Gabriel Bortoleto, Ferraris Strategieprobleme, Lewis Hamiltons Strafe in der Boxengasse sowie die aktuelle Situation bei Mercedes mit George Russell und Kimi Antonelli. Dazu geht es um Nico Hülkenbergs wichtige Punkte, die Krise bei Williams und die Rückkehr von Malaysia in den Formel-1-Kalender.

Sur le Hungaroring de Budapest, tout le monde attendait Ferrari comme l'écurie à battre sur un tracé sinueux qui fait la part belle à son aéro et limite son déficit moteur. Après avoir dominé de la tête et des épaules la journée du vendredi, la Scuderia a connu une lente agonie, plombée par les pénalités et les mauvais choix sur le muret. Dans un GP de Hongrie qui a vu Mercedes le plus en retrait cette saison, c'est McLaren qui est sortie du bois et s'est imposée grâce à un grand Lando Norris. Une occasion gâchée dans la course au titre pour le mythe italien ? Ou peut-être le signe que le nouveau challenger des Mercedes pour le titre n'est peut-être pas celui que l'on croit ! On parlera aussi des progrès d'Aston Martin, de l'enlisement d'Alpine, du beau podium de Verstappen avant une trêve qui pourrait décider de son avenir. Enfin, l'unpopular opinion d'Alex Khaldi sur le choix de disputer le GP du Bahreïn en... Malaisie !

Lando Norris siegt beim Großen Preis von Ungarn und meldet sich zurück, denn es war sein erster Triumph als amtierender Weltmeister und auch wenn die Wartezeit bis dahin sehr lang war, die Freude war umso größer. Schade für McLaren aber, dass sein Teamkollege Oscar Piastri nicht nur einen ungewöhnlichen Zwischenfall mit dem überrundeten Carlos Sainz hatte, sondern auch komplett ausgeschieden ist. Da wäre ein Doppelsieg möglich gewesen! Dennis Lewandowski und Kevin Scheuren reden in der neuen Ausgabe über das Rennwochenende am Hungaroring und gehen auch auf die Schadensbegrenzung ein, die Mercedes geleistet hat, stellen aber auch die Frage, ob für Lewis Hamilton ...

In this edition of the podcast, we dive deep into the fallout from Spa-Francorchamps and set the stage for the final race before the summer shutdown at the Hungaroring:
With chassis set to be more important than power unit at the Hungaroring, will Ferrari have a more competitive car than Mercedes in Budapest? If so, who will come out on top between Charles Leclerc and Lewis Hamilton? And could George Russell benefit as he looks to close his 50-point gap to championship leader Kimi Antonelli?F1 correspondent and presenter Lawrence Barretto joins Tom Clarkson in the paddock to answer the key questions ahead of this weekend's Hungarian Grand Prix. Tom and Lawrence also discuss what we can expect from the big upgrades Aston Martin are bringing to this race and how they could shape Fernando Alonso's decision on his future. Plus, will McLaren and Red Bull be in the mix for victory?

Antonelli tightens his F1 title grip; Williams sweeps Townsville Kimi Antonelli kept his championship momentum rolling at Spa, out-duelling Charles Leclerc in a tense Belgian Grand Prix to bank his sixth win of the season and stretch his lead at the top of the standings. The Mercedes rookie looked unfazed through the race's interruptions, taking control when it mattered. Down under, Kobi Williams delivered a statement weekend in the Porsche Michelin Sprint Challenge Australia at Townsville two wins and a second place sealing an emphatic Round 4 victory and marking him as a serious force as the series heads toward its final stretch.

Lewis Hamilton got five seconds for a 50/50 first-lap incident. Charles Leclerc practically ran Oscar Piastri off the road at the end of the Kemmel Straight and got nothing. We're not sure the stewards watched the same race we did. In this episode, Chris and Tom review the 2026 Belgian Grand Prix, the last one at Spa for a couple of years. George Russell's afternoon ends before turn six and his frustration with his power unit boils over, Kimi Antonelli takes a sixth win of the season with a drive well beyond his years, Isack Hadjar carves from P21 to P6, and Franco Colapinto pulls off the move of the race that F1's TV direction somehow forgot to show us. Plus: our Prediction League and Fantasy results, and a look ahead to Hungary where Aston Martin's B-spec car is going to change everything. Allegedly.

The Belgian Grand Prix gave us plenty to unpack. Lewis Hamilton's penalty has split opinion across the paddock. George Russell's race ended almost before it began. Kimi Antonelli strengthened his championship lead with another composed drive, while Charles Leclerc kept Ferrari firmly in the fight. We also break down Verstappen's podium, Ferrari's pace, the role of the Safety Car and VSC, Hadjar's tow, Bortoleto, Lindblad and Colapinto's impressive afternoons, and why Aston Martin heads into Hungary under even more pressure. Join the discussion and tell us where you stand. Was Hamilton's penalty fair? Is Antonelli now the clear title favourite? Has Russell's championship challenge taken its biggest hit yet?

Most F1 fans are caught up in race results — but what if the biggest story isn't just who wins, but how they win (or don't)? Imagine a season where driver talent is often overshadowed by battery management, AI unpredictability, and regulatory gray areas. This episode dives deep into the unseen battles shaping the 2026 Formula One landscape, revealing why the sport's glamorous speed hides a complex web of strategy, technology, and human error that could define the future of racing.Tune in as Soumil and Kunal peel back the curtain on everything from Lewis Hamilton's controversial Belgian GP penalty to Kimi Antonelli's relentless pursuit of greatness. They break down how new generation cars are pushing drivers to their limits in ways never seen before, with tiny twitch moves and smart engineering decisions making or breaking race fortunes. You'll discover how FIA regulations are tested daily — and how AI-driven power units, limited operational windows, and evolving aerodynamics are turning motorsport into a game of micro-optimizations. This isn't just a technical discussion; it's a quest to understand what really matters on the track. Are these battery battles and software innovations creating real racing or robbing fans of instant legend-making moments? Why are seasoned drivers like Russell, Leclerc, and Hamilton struggling with reliability and strategic constraints, while young stars like Antonelli thrive? We explore the opportunity — or peril — of a sport caught between raw racing passion and the digital, data-driven future. Whether you're a die-hard F1 fanatic or a casual enthusiast, this episode will change the way you see racing. It's about more than just chirping turbo engines — it's a behind-the-scenes look at the sport's next chapter. Perfect for anyone craving the truth behind the glamour and the deep, unseen forces that shape every race. Hit play now, and join us as we decode the new era of Formula One — where strategy is everything, and the race for innovation is as fierce as ever. Soumil Arora and Kunal Shah review the 2026 Belgian Grand Prix and the talking points, narratives & the racing from the legendary Spa-Francorchamps.
Mercedes' Kimi Antonelli scored a perfectly-judged win at Spa after passing the Ferrari of Charles Leclerc in the closing stages - after making the pass, you could say, that he had been denied at Silverstone. Max Verstappen drove valiantly into P3 for Red Bull, despite a top speed disadvantage and numerous deployment issues - and he might have been P2 had not Leclerc's pit stop been "neutralised" by a brief virtual safety car period. George Russell, who did not complete lap one in the other Merc, has now been displaced in the World Championship points table by the driver with whom he clashed at Les Combes on the opening lap today - by his former team-mate, Sir Lewis Hamilton.Peter in this video looks back at a race punctuated by seemingly random surges of power on the long Spa straights but which produced, nonetheless, some outstanding driving.Alternative race stats courtesy of Aleš Norskŷ:www.GPfactsandnumbers.com With thanks to Jetcraft, the world's largest buyer and seller of executive jets: https://jetcraft.comTo TrackNinja, a lap-timer and data app designed to help users improve their on-track car and driver performance through analysis and an innovative Data Garage.

Kimi Antonelli volvió a demostrar por qué es uno de los grandes protagonistas de la temporada al conquistar el Gran Premio de Bélgica con una actuación brillante en Spa. Pero la carrera dejó mucho más que una victoria: el polémico contacto entre Lewis Hamilton y George Russell, la estrategia que acercó a Charles Leclerc al triunfo, el sólido podio de Verstappen y las dudas que siguen rodeando el rendimiento de Mercedes.Además, analizamos la teoría sobre la diferencia de velocidad entre Antonelli y Russell, el inesperado papel del Virtual Safety Car, el debut de Verstappen como mentor de jóvenes talentos y todo lo que podemos esperar del próximo Gran Premio de Hungría.Acompaña a Memo Rojas, Alex Escalera y Munir en un nuevo episodio de Desde el Paddock, con el análisis, la información y el debate que todo fan de la Formula 1 necesita antes de la siguiente carrera.
Nach dem Großen Preis von Belgien steht in der neuen Folge Backstage Boxengasse vor allem ein Thema im Fokus: George Russell. Während Kimi Antonelli bei Mercedes immer stärker wird, steckt sein Teamkollege in einer schwierigen Phase. Ralf Schumacher nimmt die Mercedes-Duelle unter die Lupe und erklärt, warum George Russell aktuell an Kimi Antonelli zu zerbrechen droht. Außerdem sprechen Peter Hardenacke und Ralf über die starke Form von Ferrari. Kann die Scuderia mit Charles Leclerc und Lewis Hamilton tatsächlich noch einmal in den Kampf um die Weltmeisterschaft eingreifen? Und wie groß sind die Chancen von Mercedes, Ferrari, Red Bull und McLaren im weiteren Saisonverlauf? Natürlich geht es auch um Max Verstappen und die Entwicklung bei Red Bull, die neuesten Gerüchte aus dem Fahrerlager sowie die Frage, wie sich das Kräfteverhältnis in der Formel 1 aktuell verschiebt. Ein besonderes Thema der Folge: Mick Schumacher. Nach seinem ersten Top-10-Ergebnis in der IndyCar-Serie ordnet Ralf den Auftritt ein und erklärt, warum gerade das Regenrennen gezeigt hat, welches Potenzial in ihm steckt. Dazu gibt es wie immer spannende Einblicke hinter die Kulissen der Formel 1, einen Ausblick auf den Großen Preis von Ungarn und eine kleine Zeitreise mit Ralfs erstem Formel-1-Lenkrad.
Tom Clarkson is joined by race-winner Kimi Antonelli, F1TV lead presenter Laura Winter and two-time Le Mans podium finisher Alex Brundle to review the Belgian Grand Prix. Kimi converted pole to secure his sixth win of the season and move 45 points clear at the top of the World Championship. 12 months on from last year's Belgian Grand Prix, one of his most challenging weekends of the 2025 season, how has the 19-year-old made such an incredible transformation? Kimi joins us in the Mercedes motorhome to reflect on his victory and a close fight with Ferrari's Charles Leclerc. You'll also hear reaction from George Russell, whose DNF after a collision with Lewis Hamilton on lap 1 leaves him 50 points adrift of Antonelli. What do the guys make of that incident, the comments George has made about his car's problems and where he goes from here? Tom, Laura and Alex also discuss how surprised they were by Ferrari's pace, Max Verstappen's third podium of the season, and whether Lando Norris could have won without his grid penalty.

ON TODAY'S PROGRAM... KIMI TAKES CONTROL OF CHAOS TAKING VICTORY AT SPA! GEORGE RUNS INTO LCH AND BOOM DNF!! RED BULL FINDS PACE TO FINISH ON THE PODIUM AND... FERNANDO SAYS...WE DID OUR BEST...! THIS WEEK'S NASIR HAMEED CORNER OUR MOMENT IN MOTORSPORTS HISTORY...BRUNO AND B IANCA SENNA!! OUR BONUS IS...NASIR'S GLENN CAMPBELL SEGMENT...GRACIAS. Kimi Antonelli It's good to be back on the top step of the podium after a couple of difficult weekends. It was a hard-fought win and didn't come easily. We lost the lead on the run to Eau Rouge but got it back on the opening lap. We looked in control but then lost it again when Leclerc was able to pit under the Virtual Safety Car. We kept calm though and slowly closed the gap down. He was very quick and, even after I passed him, it was a struggle to break overtake mode. We eventually did though and could bring the win home. We saw how competitive several teams were again today. We need to keep working hard, keep performing, and keep scoring points. It's going to be a long battle all the way to the end of the season. We will keep taking it one weekend at a time and try to do our best every time we get in the car. MAX... “I think we had a very good race, and hopefully we can have more weekends like this. I had too much deployment from turn one to turn two, and when I looked at my battery, I knew that I was going to have a difficult run. We were then a bit unlucky with the VSC, and it affected the strategy and our ability to fight for P2 in the end. The Medium tyre was pretty decent, but we struggled a bit on the Hard tyres in terms of grip and had few balance limitations, so we just need to analyse why it was a bit trickier than expected. However, we had the car in a good window, and I think we can be happy with the whole weekend and pleased to be on the podium. Overall it was a good result and a pretty solid weekend!” ISACK... "I'm very happy with how today played out. We had a clear plan from the moment we arrived in Spa, so we were able to put everything into getting the most out of the race, and we did exactly that. From P21 to P6 is not easy, but the strategy was perfect and the pace in the car was strong, so it's been an all-round Team effort. With the Safety Car, we pitted early to give us options later on, and it worked out perfectly. Credit to the Team for that call. Going through the pack is always fun, especially with the pace we had, which let me keep the gap to Lando once he started to get closer. The goal yesterday was to get back into the points. We added a few more on top of that to make for a satisfying afternoon."
The 2026 Formula 1 Season is here, and it's Round 10. The last Belgian GP we'll see until 2028 was, eh. Kimi Antonelli won ahead of Charles Leclerc & Max Verstappen. Let's get into all of the details, plus Bangers & Clangers as per usual. My name's Tommo, let's talk about it.
Spa-Francorchamps debía ser uno de los grandes exámenes de la Fórmula 1 de 2026. Y lo fue. Y, a juicio del equipo del Podcast Técnica Fórmula 1, lo suspendió. ¿Demasiado estrictos? Para juzgar habrá que escuchar el primer episodio de la semana. Estrategia, sí. Emoción, ninguna. El Gran Premio de Bélgica dejó una carrera con interés, con estrategia, con tensión y con una nueva victoria de Andrea Kimi Antonelli. Pero también volvió a enseñar el gran problema de esta normativa: los adelantamientos por pura gestión de potencia siguen siendo difíciles de disfrutar. No fue una mala carrera. Conviene dejarlo claro. Spa tuvo momentos, alternativas y una clasificación final que confirma que el campeonato sigue vivo. Pero ver cómo algunos de los puntos más míticos del circuito pierden parte de su esencia por la manera en que los coches gestionan la energía eléctrica deja una sensación amarga. Spa es velocidad, desnivel, riesgo controlado y confianza. Si ahí los monoplazas tienen que levantar demasiado pronto, algo importante se rompe en la relación entre la pista y el espectáculo. Antonelli, mientras tanto, sigue a lo suyo. El italiano de Mercedes ganó en Bélgica, se convirtió en el vencedor más joven en la historia de Spa y dio otro paso importante hacia el campeonato. Tiene el mejor coche, sí, pero también está demostrando una madurez impropia de su edad. Se ha adaptado mejor que nadie a esta Fórmula 1 y, sobre todo, no está cometiendo errores. Mercedes, sin embargo, volvió a mostrar las dos caras de su temporada. Por un lado, el rendimiento sigue ahí: Antonelli hizo la pole, ganó la carrera y confirmó que el coche alemán continúa siendo la referencia. Por otro, George Russell abandonó en un fin de semana en el que, más allá de las explicaciones oficiales, quedó la sensación de que el nerviosismo tuvo mucho que ver. En un campeonato largo, la fiabilidad y la cabeza pesan tanto como la velocidad. Ferrari volvió a salir reforzada. Charles Leclerc terminó segundo y Lewis Hamilton cuarto, en una carrera que confirma que la Scuderia ha encontrado una base mucho más competitiva que al inicio de la temporada. Quizá no tenga todavía la regularidad de Mercedes, pero ya no parece un equipo condenado a esperar errores ajenos. Puede estar cerca, puede presionar y puede aprovechar cualquier grieta. Red Bull también dejó señales positivas. Max Verstappen acabó tercero y Hadjar firmó una gran remontada hasta la sexta posición, un resultado importante para el primer equipo. Después de semanas de dudas, el coche no parece completamente perdido, aunque sigue lejos de transmitir la autoridad de otros años. Verstappen continúa siendo una amenaza, pero Red Bull necesita convertir sus picos de rendimiento en una tendencia más estable. McLaren quedó algo más difuminada. Piastri fue quinto y Norris séptimo, con vuelta rápida final incluida, pero el equipo sigue sin terminar de transformar su velocidad en resultados realmente contundentes. Está cerca, sí, pero en una temporada tan apretada eso no siempre basta. ¿Qué ocurre tras los 4 grandes? Por detrás, Bortoleto volvió a sumar para Audi con una octava posición muy valiosa, Lindblad metió de nuevo a Racing Bulls en los puntos y Colapinto rescató el último punto para Alpine. La zona media sigue moviéndose, aunque Aston Martin continúa en una situación durísima: Alonso terminó doblado dos veces y Stroll abandonó. Hasta que lleguen mejoras reales, el diagnóstico sigue siendo muy severo. Spa dejó también polémicas. Sanciones discutibles, coches de seguridad virtuales, decisiones difíciles de entender y esa sensación ya demasiado habitual de que la FIA aparece más de lo necesario en el relato de cada carrera. Hamilton fue sancionado por su toque con Russell, mientras otras maniobras quedaron sin castigo. La coherencia “arbitral” sigue siendo una asignatura pendiente. El resultado final deja una conclusión doble. La temporada está más interesante de lo que parecía. Antonelli se escapa, Ferrari se acerca, Red Bull reacciona y Mercedes no puede permitirse fallar. Pero la Fórmula 1 de 2026 sigue teniendo un problema de fondo: cuando llega a circuitos como Spa, debería impresionar por velocidad y valentía, no obligarnos a hablar tanto de baterías agotadas y adelantamientos sin alma.

Spa-Franchorchamps, das war mal Mut, Wagnis und Risiko, aber die neue Formel 1 hat die Strecke, die sowieso schon von vielen Gefahren befreit wurde, mit dem Reglement 2026 weiter entmystifiziert. Super-Clipping, schnelle Kameraschnitte aus den On-Boards raus, keine Geschwindigkeitsanzeigen. Was sollte das, liebe Formel 1? Dennis Lewandowski und Kevin Scheuren sprechen in der neuen Ausgabe über den Großen Preis von Belgien und lassen ihrem Ärger freien Lauf, sprechen dann aber auch wie gewohnt über den Sieger Kimi Antonelli, die vier Topteams, inkonsequente Strafenverteilung und stellen sich die Frage, was bei McLaren besser werden muss.

Can Kimi Antonelli convert pole position into his sixth win of the season? The Italian edged out Charles Leclerc in a thrilling qualifying session at Spa, with Lando Norris setting the third-fastest time, but a 10-place grid penalty will see him start from 13th. We hear from the top three and look ahead to the race.
Simon Lazenby, Craig Slater and Naomi Schiff look ahead to the Belgian Grand Prix at Spa-Francorchamps.They discuss if Charles Leclerc can challenge for another win after his victory at Silverstone and ask if leaders Mercedes now face a twin threat from both Ferrari boys. Meanwhile, at Mercedes, with the gap between their two drivers closing, can George Russell challenge his team mate this weekend?

ormula 1 heads to one of the greatest circuits in the world as Spa-Francorchamps hosts the Belgian Grand Prix.After Ferrari's breakthrough victory at Silverstone, can Charles Leclerc and Lewis Hamilton carry that momentum into Belgium? Or will Mercedes, Red Bull or McLaren hit back before the summer break?In this episode we discuss:
La Fórmula 1 vuelve esta semana en uno de esos circuitos que no necesitan presentación. Spa-Francorchamps es historia, velocidad, desnivel, clima imprevisible y una de las pistas favoritas de pilotos y aficionados. Sin embargo, volvemos a lo que llevamos temiendo (y sufriendo) toda la temporada: veremos un espectáculo o la F1 dará “el espectáculo”. Pronósticos en el primer episodio de la semana del Podcast Técnica Fórmula 1. Pregunta de examen. Spa llega este año con una pregunta incómoda: ¿qué imagen darán los nuevos coches de 2026 en un trazado tan exigente para la unidad de potencia? El Gran Premio de Bélgica aparece después de una semana de descanso (lo que antes era lo habitual y ahora nos parece raro) y con el Campeonato en un momento interesante. Mercedes sigue siendo la referencia, Ferrari ha demostrado que puede plantarle cara en determinados escenarios y Red Bull intenta no perder el paso. P ero Spa no es un circuito cualquiera. Aquí no basta con tener un buen coche en curva lenta o acertar con la estrategia. Hay que combinar eficiencia aerodinámica, potencia, estabilidad en curva rápida y capacidad para desplegar energía durante mucho tiempo. Y ahí está el gran temor del fin de semana. La recta de Kemmel, después de Eau Rouge y Raidillon, será uno de los puntos más observados. No sería extraño ver a estos monoplazas levantar mucho antes de la chicane o quedarse sin despliegue eléctrico antes de lo que al aficionado le gustaría. En otros circuitos, el clipping y el superclipping han sido más o menos visibles según la configuración de la pista y la realización televisiva. En Spa será más difícil esconderlo. Eso no significa que el Gran Premio vaya a ser necesariamente malo. La Fórmula 1 de 2026 está obligando a los pilotos y a los equipos a competir de otra manera. Ya no se trata sólo de tener velocidad punta o de abrir el DRS en el momento adecuado. Ahora importa mucho cómo se recupera energía, dónde se despliega y qué parte de la vuelta se sacrifica para tener más potencia en otra. Es una competición más compleja, quizá menos intuitiva, pero también con un margen nuevo para la inteligencia estratégica. La cuestión es si eso basta para emocionar. Spa es un circuito que siempre ha premiado el valor y la confianza. Ver a los coches gestionar en zonas donde tradicionalmente se esperaba velocidad plena puede resultar frustrante. La Fórmula 1 necesita que sus grandes escenarios no pierdan identidad. Si en Silverstone ya fue extraño ver a los coches levantar en curvas míticas, Bélgica puede plantear una sensación parecida en las rectas y zonas de alta velocidad. Varios frentes abiertos. En lo deportivo, el fin de semana llega con varios focos abiertos. Mercedes debe confirmar si conserva su ventaja en un circuito largo, rápido y muy completo. Su coche ha sido el más sólido de la temporada, pero la fiabilidad ha dejado dudas y Ferrari ha sabido aprovechar algunas oportunidades. En Spa, cualquier pequeño déficit puede hacerse grande. Ferrari, por su parte, afronta una prueba importante. La Scuderia ha alternado carreras brillantes con fines de semana más grises. Leclerc y Hamilton necesitan confirmar que el coche rojo no depende sólo de ventanas muy concretas de funcionamiento. Si Ferrari vuelve a estar cerca en Bélgica, la pelea por la parte alta del campeonato ganará mucho interés. Red Bull también llega con presión. Verstappen siempre es una amenaza en Spa, pero el equipo necesita algo más que la inspiración de su piloto. Hadjar está aportando puntos importantes al primer equipo, y eso ayuda a sostener el proyecto, pero Bélgica será un examen real para saber si las últimas mejoras permiten mirar de nuevo hacia la victoria o sólo sirven para resistir. McLaren puede tener también una oportunidad. El equipo suele moverse bien en circuitos de alta eficiencia, aunque esta temporada le está faltando convertir presencia en golpes contundentes. Norris y Piastri necesitan un fin de semana fuerte para no quedarse en tierra de nadie entre los favoritos y la zona media. ¿Y el tiempo? La meteorología, como casi siempre en Spa, puede terminar de complicarlo todo. En Bélgica nunca conviene dar por seguro un Gran Premio en seco, ni una carrera lineal. Un cambio de condiciones puede ocultar problemas, exagerar virtudes o convertir una previsión técnica en papel mojado. Por eso Spa llega con tanta expectación. No sólo por la carrera, sino por lo que puede decirnos sobre esta Fórmula 1. Si los equipos consiguen mitigar el problema del despliegue eléctrico y los pilotos pueden pelear de forma creíble, el campeonato habrá ganado una batalla importante. Si, por el contrario, el circuito expone demasiado las debilidades de los nuevos coches, volverán las dudas. Spa siempre ha medido a la Fórmula 1 tras el verano. Este año, la examina en julio.

Tom Clarkson is joined by F1TV commentary duo, former F1 driver Jolyon Palmer and lead commentator Alex Jacques, to reflect on a dramatic British Grand Prix.Charles Leclerc capitalised on more misfortune for championship leader Kimi Antonelli to take his first victory since Austin in 2024. After such a difficult run of races, why was he back to his best and how significant is this win for Charles?Reliability issues mean Antonelli has seen his championship lead cut from 66 points to just 25 over the last three rounds, but is he leaving Silverstone happier than George Russell despite the Brit taking home P2 and closing the gap to Kimi?

In this special edition of the pod, Damon Hill joins Rosanna Tennant and Harry Benjamin live on stage at Silverstone to reflect on a thrilling British Grand Prix in front of a packed audience. Charles Leclerc claimed his first victory in almost two years after Kimi Antonelli's race was compromised by a wheel failure, meaning Ferrari have now won two of the last three Grands Prix. We hear from Leclerc, and the team also unpick the confusion that unfolded in the closing laps as the race finished behind the safety car.
Meg and Spanners recaps a dramatic British Grand Prix, where Charles Leclerc returned to the top step of the podium for the first time since 2024. They break down Leclerc's long-awaited victory, Mercedes' frustrating day with Kimi Antonelli's late mechanical failure, the controversial safety car finish that reshuffled the podium, and another fiery chapter in the Max Verstappen and George Russell rivalry.
