Timo & Mattey besprechen in dieser Folge den Großen Preis von Belgien 2026. Der WM-Führende Andrea Kimi Antonelli holt in Spa den Sieg und baut seine WM-Führung aus, nachdem Teamkollege George Russell nach einem Unfall in Runde 1 nicht anschreiben konnte. Ferrari-Pilot Charles Leclerc landet etwas glücklich dank eines Virtual Safety Cars auf Platz 2, während Max Verstappen im Red Bull Platz 3 holt.
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."

Although F1's 2026 technology looked a bit stretched around the usually-brilliant Silverstone GP circuit, raw human emotions surely abounded. Charles Leclerc is a winner again; Kimi Antonelli was the star who almost made it; and Max Verstappen was the despondent survivor of another big moment after again driving his heart out. With George Russell inheriting P2 after Kimi's late-race demise, the ironies were complete: Sir Lewis Hamilton, who finished P3, at one stage fought hard with Max into Copse, reliving those desperate first-lap moments of 2021; and Charles, as he sprayed the champagne, could think also of 2022, when, as the likely winner at Silverstone, he was left out to dry behind the Safety Car.

¿Kimi Antonelli perdió la victoria por una simple pieza aerodinámica? En este episodio de Paddock Lab, Memo Rojas y Alex Escalera analizan cómo el daño en la tapa aerodinámica de la rueda cambió por completo el ritmo del Mercedes y terminó afectando una de las remontadas más prometedoras del GP de Gran Bretaña.Además, desmenuzamos la polémica sanción a Carlos Sainz: ¿Por qué la FIA le impuso una penalización de una vuelta completa? Te explicamos paso a paso qué ocurrió durante el Safety Car, qué dice el reglamento y por qué la decisión ha generado tanta confusión entre los aficionados.Si quieres entender la Formula 1 desde el lado técnico, este episodio es para ti.
El Gran Premio de Gran Bretaña volvió a colocar a la FIA en el centro de todas las miradas. Aunque la carrera dejó grandes batallas en pista y la victoria de Charles Leclerc, el desenlace tras el coche de seguridad y las decisiones posteriores de Dirección de Carrera generaron un intenso debate sobre la aplicación del reglamento. En este episodio analizamos el triunfo de Leclerc, el doble podio de Scuderia Ferrari, el segundo puesto de George Russell y la avería que privó a Andrea Kimi Antonelli de luchar por la victoria cuando lideraba el ritmo de carrera. También repasamos el accidente de Max Verstappen, la decisión de finalizar la prueba tras el Safety Car y la explicación ofrecida por la FIA sobre la aplicación del procedimiento de doblados. Además, analizamos el error del mensaje Safety Car Ending, un fallo de software que incrementó la confusión entre equipos, pilotos y aficionados. La conversación también aborda la insólita sanción recibida por Carlos Sainz, penalizado tras desdoblarse incorrectamente durante el procedimiento final. Analizamos por qué la configuración del pit lane de Silverstone pudo inducir a error a Williams Racing y si la decisión de los comisarios fue proporcionada. Además, debatimos las declaraciones de Toto Wolff, quien comparó lo sucedido con el desenlace del Mundial de 2021 en Abu Dabi y defendió la aplicación estricta del reglamento frente a cualquier interpretación destinada a favorecer el espectáculo. Un episodio para entender todas las claves del polémico final de Silverstone, analizar el papel de la FIA y debatir dónde debe situarse el equilibrio entre el reglamento y el espectáculo en la Fórmula 1 actual. ️
La mejor carrera del fin de semana la ganó Fernando Alonso en una batalla campal en el que todos los coches perdieron piezas. La carrera larga la ganó Leclerc tras el Safety Car, con Russell trincando otro podio que no merecía. Hamilton salvó los muebles en casa siendo tercero. Gracias por escucharnos y ¡¡Keep Pushing!!

A comedy Formula 1 podcast reviewing the 2026 British Grand Prix, Charles Leclerc's Silverstone win, Ferrari's front-running form, Verstappen's rear wing disaster, safety car controversy, and the latest Max Verstappen to McLaren rumours.Season 7 of The Monkey Seat continues, and for once George Russell didn't actually win... yet Tom and Karl have bravely decided to podcast anyway. Don't worry though, the system hasn't completely broken. Russell finished second, just 0.427 seconds behind Charles Leclerc, and given the safety car chaos, FIA confusion, and general Silverstone silliness, we're choosing to declare him the spiritual winner. The George Russell Podcast Activation System survives on a technicality.This week, the boys review the British Grand Prix at Silverstone, where Leclerc took victory for Ferrari, Russell pushed him all the way, and Lewis Hamilton made it two Ferraris on the podium. Ferrari being good at Silverstone? Mercedes nearly winning? Red Bull breaking? Somehow, Formula 1 has become fan fiction.There was also a sprint race win for Kimi Antonelli, who continues to look annoyingly talented, before his main race went rather less smoothly. Meanwhile, Max Verstappen's race ended with what looked suspiciously like the same rear wing failure from Austria qualifying, because apparently Red Bull have decided reliability is optional if it keeps things spicy.And then came the safety car finish.Following the rule changes after the 2021 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix controversy, the race ended under safety car conditions. Simple enough, right? Obviously not. The FIA somehow managed to tell everyone the race was going to restart, triggering widespread confusion, paddock debate, fan arguments, and enough terrible rule-change suggestions to fill a Facebook comments section.Tom and Karl also dive into the latest Max Verstappen to McLaren rumours, because no F1 podcast is complete without wildly speculating about a move that may or may not exist. Add in random UK geography, a few truly dreadful dad jokes, and the fact it was hotter than the devil's armpit with Tom becoming increasingly moist, and you've got a classic Monkey Seat episode.As always, expect Driver of the Day debates, Dick of the Day nominations, questionable opinions, unnecessary tangents, and two hosts who are still somehow less chaotic than the FIA race control room.Looking for serious Formula 1 analysis? Head over to Grid Talk. But if you'd rather listen to two mates argue about safety cars, Silverstone, geography, dad jokes, and whether Max Verstappen looks good in papaya, you've found your podium.Catch Tom and Karl in their slightly more professional guise on the Grid Talk Podcast @gridtalkuk on all socials.Check out f1chronicle.com for motorsport articles written by people who know what they're talking about, and visit linktr.ee/gridtalkuk for everything Grid Talk.If you enjoy the chaos, we'd really appreciate a quick 5-star rating on Spotify. It helps more people discover the podcast and gives Tom and Karl another reason to pretend this whole operation is under control.Find The Monkey Seat on Spotify, Apple Music, Pocket Casts, YouTube, Anchor, Castbox, Radio Public, TuneIn and Breaker — or simply whisper “late safety car restart” into the void and wait for the FIA to confuse everyone.Bio
Charles Leclerc delivered Ferrari's 250th race win, but it's the FIA's farcical safety car finish that everyone's talking about. In this episode, Tom and Chris dig into the safety car controversy that ended the race under caution despite fans being told a final lap was coming, the FIA president's awkward driver parade cameo, and a controversial track-limits penalty for Antonelli. Then it's onto the race itself: Leclerc's much-needed win, Russell's home podium, Antonelli's reliability heartbreak, and Verstappen's rear-end snap at Stowe that ended his race early.

Charles Leclerc won the British Grand Prix under a safety car to win at Silverstone for the very first time. The Ferrari driver flew off the line at the start to overtake Kimi Antonelli with Lewis Hamilton also shooting up to second. The Ferraris held off Antonelli for a while but the Mercedes was quicker and swept past Hamilton at Copse corner to pile the pressure on Leclerc. Leclerc opened up a decent lead before a pit stop to switch the tyres sent Antonelli into first. With others gaining behind him, Antonelli made his stop on lap 36 but came back on track with an issue which dropped him down the grid. Antonelli fell out of the points as Max Verstappen crashed out of the race handing an advantage to his rivals. Leclerc's win take him up to fourth in the standings while Russell is now just 27 points behind Antonelli Hadjar Finishes Fifth After Composed British Grand Prix At Silverstone On Sunday. Isack Hadjar started fifth and held his place by the finish of Sunday's British Grand Prix thanks to a composed performance at Silverstone to put valuable title points on the board for Oracle Red Bull Racing. Hadjar was pushing all race, while ahead of him Dutch teammate Max Verstappen was well in the hunt for a podium place only to suffer a mishap at Stowe while chasing Lewis Hamilton for second place. Visa Cash App Racing Bulls duo Liam Lawson and Arvid Lindblad finished sixth and seventh to boost the team with another promising performance that leaves them sixth in the 2026 constructors' title race. Oracle Red Bull Racing ISACK HADJAR - 5th "Ultimately, I can be happy with the result. P5 is solid points for the Team, but I felt we could've had more. My pace at the start was good, and we finished strongly as well. We got off the line well and I stayed with Max in the first stint. After pitting onto the Hard we struggled and I couldn't find the grip to stay close to Lando. Throughout that middle stint I was in no man's land, so it was a little boring for me. We lost time with changing the front wing, but it took our pace back to where it was at the start and I could really push. It's a shame that we couldn't have that last lap as I had such a good feeling in the car to go out and really attack the cars ahead. Overall, I've felt comfortable in the car all weekend and feel like I've got on top of the package which is good going forwards." MAX VERSTAPPEN - DNF "It's not been the outcome we wanted from this weekend. Right from the start we struggled with balance and top speed in comparison to Isack's car. In the race, we were okay on the Medium but were struggling with pace on the Hard. We were fighting for P3 towards the end of the race but had a similar issue to Qualifying in Austria. It was a different fault with the rear wing, where it would not fully attach, meaning we lost a lot of downforce and spun off the track. I hope the coming weeks are better, and that we can sort things about before Spa." LAURENT MEKIES - CEO & Team Principal "First and foremost we must start by apologising to Max. An issue with the rear wing on his car developed in the closing stages of the race which ultimately sent him off track. It's not the first time an incident of this kind has happened, we are taking it extremely seriously and will put in place everything necessary to make sure it does not happen again. What matters tonight is that Max is okay. Looking at the race up to that point, our pace was better than at any time this weekend, with Max and the Team executing a strong race which put us in a solid third place, before the incident happened. That would have put us in front of one Mercedes and both McLarens on a weekend where we had some pretty serious balance and performance limitations. Isack had a solid weekend, a very good qualifying yesterday and then a strong race today. He wanted more, but we'll take that P5. There is certainly a lot we need to look at, as things looked a lot more difficult than one week ago in Austria, where we could fight for the win. I have full trust that as a Team we will react in a very strong way and tackle both the reliability and performance aspects that prevented from extracting everything out of our package this weekend." George Russell It's always special to stand on the podium at Silverstone, and after a few years where luck hasn't really been on my side at my home race, it's nice to finally get a result to celebrate in front of these fans. It is always one of the most special races on the calendar for me. The support here is incredible, the fans are so passionate, and racing in front of a home crowd is something I'll never take for granted. I'm grateful for all their support and delighted we could at least give them a podium to celebrate. It was a race with a whole range of emotions today. At times we were unlucky, and in the end, we got a little bit lucky as well. The Safety Car played in our favour because everyone behind me had fitted fresh tyres. Had we gone racing again, I probably would have lost at least one position, so I'm glad it finished under the Safety Car and allowed us to bring home P2. It wasn't a particularly strong weekend from our side. I've been trying to understand for a while why I'm struggling, and although today felt slightly better, there are still a lot of things we can improve. I could feel the slow puncture developing during the race and lost around five or six PSI over a lap and a half, which made the car feel increasingly unbalanced. Putting that aside though, there's still work for us to do to understand where we're missing performance. We will analyse all the data before we head to Spa so we can come back stronger. Kimi Antonelli Today was one of those days where everything seemed to go against us. We had really strong pace in the race and it felt like we had the speed to close the gap and fight for the win. That's what makes the end of our race so frustrating. We didn't get the opportunity to properly battle for the victory but sometimes these things are out of your control. The damage happened very suddenly. I was taking the same kerb every lap, but on that particular lap I ran it and immediately lost front downforce. The car wasn't driving straight anymore and the pace dropped away. I knew part of the wheel shield had broken, but there seemed to be more going on than we could see at that moment. We will analyse everything and understand exactly what happened. Despite all the setbacks, I kept pushing and trying to maximise every opportunity. That's always my mindset. Even when it felt like everything was going against us, I was still fighting to grab that one point before the Safety Car changed things. I know I gave everything I had and we will come back stronger. The support from the fans has been amazing this weekend and I'm already excited to bounce back in Spa. Charles... "It feels incredible," said Leclerc. "Unfortunately the end was maybe not the one I will have dreamt of but to win after the last few weekends that have been particularly difficult, all the work that we put into trying to get the feeling back in the car. I felt like I had found something yesterday between the Sprint and Qualifying, but I had to confirm that today. And today, the feeling was back where it needs to be. I'm so incredibly happy."
Soumil Arora and Kunal Shah review the 2026 British Grand Prix that served tons of on-track and off-track drama with the F1 Sprint, LEGO race and of course, the Grand Prix. Tune in to the Inside Line F1 Podcast. In this British Grand Prix review, we break down one of the most chaotic and talked-about races of the season — from FIA safety car confusion to strategy calls, tire gambles, and last-lap drama at Silverstone.

De FIA heeft uitgelegd waarom de safetycar op Silverstone niet naar binnen ging en wijst naar een softwarefout in de communicatie. Carlos Sainz werd vervolgens hard gestraft na de chaotische safetycarperiode en zakt door zijn straf van P12 naar P17. Ondertussen lopen de spanningen bij Red Bull op, waar Gianpiero Lambiase vanwege zijn toekomstige overstap naar McLaren steeds minder technische informatie zou krijgen.
El Gran Premio de Gran Bretaña 2026 en el histórico Silverstone nos dejó un fin de semana repleto de emociones, con el regreso de Ferrari a lo más alto, el abandono de Max Verstappen, los problemas de Mercedes y una nueva carrera que aprieta la lucha por el Mundial de Fórmula 1. Rubén Gómez Burillo y Diego Durruty (@AutomundoArg) analizan todo lo ocurrido en la novena cita de la temporada, marcada por el regreso de la Scuderia, las averías y que nos metemos de lleno en una intensa gira europea. Charles Leclerc fue el gran protagonista del fin de semana al devolver a Ferrari. El monegasco dominó la carrera en Silverstone y lideró un gran resultado para la Scuderia, con Lewis Hamilton completando el podio en tercera posición, aunque el británico terminó el domingo con sensaciones encontradas tras una sanción y un ritmo que no le permitió luchar por la victoria. Mercedes vivió un fin de semana de contrastes. Andrea Kimi Antonelli conquistó la Sprint demostrando un ritmo espectacular, pero un problema de fiabilidad cuando peleaba por el triunfo en la carrera arruinó su domingo. George Russell salvó el resultado con un segundo puesto, aunque Toto Wolff volvió a lamentar los problemas mecánicos que siguen lastrando al equipo alemán. Red Bull volvió a sufrir un duro revés. Max Verstappen luchaba por el podio hasta que un nuevo problema en el alerón trasero provocó su abandono en la grava y obligó a sacar el Safety Car que puso punto final a la carrera. Mientras tanto, Isack Hadjar volvió a completar una gran actuación con una brillante quinta posición que confirma su gran temporada. McLaren sigue sin encontrar el ritmo para luchar por las victorias. Lando Norris salvó los muebles con la cuarta posición, mientras Oscar Piastri volvió a sufrir un fin de semana complicado y terminó fuera de los puntos. Por su parte, Racing Bulls volvió a aprovechar cualquier oportunidad para sumar con Liam Lawson y Arvid Lindblad, consolidándose como una de las revelaciones de la temporada. En clave hispanohablante, Franco Colapinto volvió a brillar con un sólido noveno puesto para Alpine. En cambio, Carlos Sainz terminó fuera de los puntos con un Williams cuyas mejoras siguen sin funcionar, mientras Fernando Alonso volvió a sufrir con un Aston Martin que continúa lejos de la zona de puntos, aunque el equipo confía en las importantes mejoras previstas para las próximas carreras. También repasamos el discreto fin de semana de Checo Pérez con Cadillac, el rendimiento de Sauber y Haas, las declaraciones de los protagonistas y cómo queda el Mundial tras Silverstone.
“Send us a Hey Now!”The British Grand Prix never disappoints, and this year's Formula 1 weekend at Silverstone delivered drama from the Sprint right through to a tense finish behind the Safety Car. From wheel-to-wheel battles and changing fortunes to controversial moments and championship implications, there was no shortage of talking points. This week on Dirty Side Podcast, we review the entire British GP weekend. We break down the Sprint, analyze Sunday's race, discuss the biggest winners and losers, and debate whether the Safety Car finish was the right way for such an incredible race to end. As always, it's Formula 1 from the fan perspective, with plenty of opinions, laughs, and passionate debate. In this episode:
Charles Leclerc venceu o GP da Inglaterra em Silverstone após uma corrida marcada por diferentes estratégias, punições e um Safety Car nas voltas finais. O piloto da Ferrari assumiu a liderança na largada e controlou a prova até a bandeirada, à frente de George Russell e Lewis Hamilton. Gabriel Bortoleto aproveitou uma corrida consistente e terminou em oitavo, enquanto Antonelli viu sua prova desmoronar após problemas no carro e uma punição que o deixou fora da zona de pontos.

Timo & Mattey analysieren in dieser Folge den Großen Preis von Österreich 2026. George Russell holt einen Start-Ziel-Sieg, während Max Verstappen im Red Bull ein Lebenszeichen mit Platz 2 von sich gibt. Der WM-Führende Kimi Antonelli schafft es in extremer Hitze auf Platz 3.
This day in Spain will famously be remembered for the first Ferrari victory scored by Sir Lewis Hamilton. And it was no gift. After starting from the front row and splitting the two factory Mercedes in the early race phase, Lewis dramatically chose to make a second tyre change - to medium Pirellis - at the perfect moment. His mid-race pace on the softer tyres quickly elevated him to the front when the Mercs stopped for their second set of hards - and Lewis always seemed likely to be there at the finish, despite a third pit stop that was looming. Then fate stepped in - just as it had in Abu Dhabi, 2021, when Nicholas Latiffi's retirement brought out the Safety Car. On this occasion, Fernando Alonso stopped his slow Aston Martin-Honda at T9; Ferrari missed an immediate pit stop but the Virtual Safety Car conditions were still current as Lewis came round again. He emerged from the pit lane just in front of George Russell's Mercedes. Head down on slightly newer Pirelli hards, Lewis then drove away to win by the astounding margin of 19.5sec. Kimi Antonelli passed Russell in a sensational move with six laps to go...but then stopped on track with a dead engine. Russell thus finished second, ahead of McLaren-Mercedes' Lando Norris, Red Bull-RBPT Ford's Max Verstappen, Oscar Piastri in the other McLaren and Isack Hadjar in the second Red Bull.

THIS WEEK'S NASIR HAMEED CORNER WE HAVE: A MOMENT IN MOTORSPORTS HISTORY…AN INTERVIEW WITH BOBBY UNSER… SOME TRIVIA ON THE GRAND PRIX OF TURKEY AND TECH TALK WITH TIM! LCH GETS INTRODUCED TO A LOS ANGELES LOW RIDER!! Kimi Antonelli It's an incredible feeling to win in Monaco. It's such a special weekend and one I'll remember for a long time. Today was one of those days where everything just clicked; I had a lot of confidence in the car, felt strong throughout, and to bring the win home in a place like this makes it even more meaningful. From a race perspective, there were definitely some key moments to manage. The starts are still an area we're working on, but I've made good progress. My first one was solid, and although the second was a bit more challenging with the tyres, it's positive to see improvement. The red flag added a bit of stress, especially knowing the restart could change everything, but we handled it well. In the final laps, I really enjoyed myself out there, even though I still had to carefully manage the tyres. This track demands a lot of focus, you have to find the right balance between pushing and not making mistakes, and once you settle into that rhythm, everything starts to come together. At the same time, I know there's still a lot to learn and improve. I just want to keep pushing, keep building on this momentum, and most importantly, keep enjoying the journey. That's what makes moments like this so rewarding. ISACK HADJAR "It's been an outstanding result and weekend considering how it started in FP1! The race was difficult and I had to dig very deep. We got off to a clean start and were managing our race, and then within the first 10 to 15 laps I started having big drivability issues. If there's one track you don't want that, it's here, so that was incredibly challenging having to cover 60 laps. There was then uncertainty about what was going to happen with the red flag and you need to get your head back again in focus. Even towards the end, I was still lacking power on the restart. It really was the longest race of my life but now it's finished we got the podium. Whatever happens with the stewards, it's now completely out of my control. I celebrated and had my podium and I will always have that. My moment with the lads. Huge thank you to the Team, I trust these guys. Whatever happens, the emotions on the podium have already happened and I am proud of the Team." MAX VERSTAPPEN - DNF "We don't know what happened today but we think the issue was due to an engine problem. During the formation lap I could feel that something was off and the pre-start was terrible. There was no consistency and then, at the start, the engine just dropped out. I dropped the clutch and it went dead and had no power. When I got a bit more power back, unfortunately it was messed up so I had to bring it back slowly. It was such a shame for us as everything was going really well up to that point. We felt great in the car all weekend and to come out with no points and to finish the race like this when you do everything so well as a Team is of course disappointing." George Russell Firstly, congratulations to Kimi. He did an amazing job today and over the weekend and is a well-deserving winner. On my side, the race was very difficult. I had managed to get to P4 but the penalty for speeding in the pitlane is difficult to understand. I was under the limit but then that was compounded by us not serving the penalty at my second stop; that ultimately cost me a lot and left me with zero points again. It's tough to take but I'm not going to give up. Across the last two races, I've effectively lost around 40 points. It's incredibly frustrating but the rest of the season can still look very different. We saw that last year and, in many seasons previous. It's unfortunate how things have played out so far but I'm aiming to bounce back in Barcelona. I believe in myself and I know what I'm capable of. LAURENT MEKIES - CEO & Team Principal "Mixed emotions today, as Isack and the Team did a great job to get him to the podium, overcoming some technical issues on the car, but on the other side of the garage, we lost Max's car straightaway with an engine issue. It was hard to take as he had incredible pace all weekend. It's frustrating when you miss out on a big points score, but that's part of the game, and we can only apology to him. For Isack it was a very intense battle in the car considering the number of issues he had to deal with. It was also an intense battle for the team in the garage as they worked to keep his car alive to the finish. In that context, making it to the podium is a very strong result. The most important lesson we take away from Monaco is that the underlying performance of the car keeps improving." Badoer earns maiden F3 victory in Monte Carlo. Brando Badoer launched off the line and into the lead and didn't look back, taking his first FIA Formula 3 victory for Rodin Motorsport. The Italian beat pole-sitter Théophile Nael off the line and on the run to Turn 1, with the Frenchman having to settle for second place at the chequered flag. Freddie Slater completed the podium for TRIDENT. AS IT HAPPENED Nael was immediately passed by Badoer while Slater took to the escape road at the opening corner and filtered in behind the top two up the hill, with the remainder of the top five staying as they were on the grid. Van Amersfoort Racing's Bruno del Pino was able to make up a place, getting ahead of MP Motorsport's Alessandro Giusti for P6 at Turn 1, but for the Frenchman's teammate, his race was over soon after. Tuukka Taponen found the barriers at the penultimate corner after an attempted pass by Maciej Gladysz left the Finn nowhere to go. That incident brought out the Safety Car on Lap 2. With the MP cleared, racing resumed going onto Lap 5, with Badoer able to gap Nael comfortably, with the Frenchman under attack from Slater on the run to Turn 3. By Lap 10, Badoer had escaped out of DRS range to the Campos driver behind, while Slater, Ugo Ugochukwu and Ernesto Rivera remained within a second of the car ahead. Drivers inside the top 10 began to back off on some laps in order to generate enough space to attempt a fastest lap for the additional point. Slater was very happy with the balance of his TRIDENT, praising the car over team radio. Lap 18 and Badoer looked unflappable out front, now two seconds clear of the field. Further back in the pack, Nandhavud Bhirombhakdi was coming under serious pressure from Enzo Deligny in the fight for P15. The Thai driver had to defend into Turn 1 on Lap 21, and later missed the Turn 10-11 chicane, skipping across the run-off as the Frenchman behind turned the screw. Nael spent the final five laps closing the gap to the leader back down to under a second, but the Rodin driver would not be denied, earning his first win in the Championship around the Principality. Slater completed the podium behind Nael while Ugochukwu and Rivera ensured all three Campos' were in the top five. Bruno del Pino finished sixth for Van Amersfoort, followed by Giusti in P7, Pedro Clerot in eighth, Sprint Race winner Gerrard Xie in P9 and Noah Stromsted completing the points in 10th. KEY QUOTE – Brando Badoer, Rodin Motorsport “I was studying the start all evening with the guys yesterday and I executed it perfectly. I jumped to P1 at Turn 1 and then led the 27 laps. It was a very long race, I was hoping it ended a bit earlier and it felt long in the car, but winning in Monaco is one of my dreams come true! Really happy with the team and my performance. Thanks to everyone.” THE CHAMPIONSHIP STANDINGS Ugo Ugochukwu retains the lead of the Drivers' Championship going onto 43 points. Bruno del Pino is P2 on 35, just a single point ahead of Freddie Slater in third. Brando Badoer's win moves him up to P4 on 28 points, while Théophile Nael rounds out the top five drivers with 22 points. Campos Racing extend their advantage at the top of the Teams' Standings, moving onto 75 points. Van Amersfoort Racing are P2 with 47, while Rodin Motorsport jumps TRIDENT into third place, 44 points to 43. ART Grand Prix complete the top five with 31 points. León dominates in lights-to-flag victory in Monte Carlo F2. Noel León led every lap of the Monte Carlo Sprint Race on his way to claiming a dominant second victory of the season. Starting from pole, the Campos Racing driver managed the race expertly before going on to win by over three seconds. DAMS Lucas Oil driver Roman Bilinski achieved his maiden F2 podium in P2 ahead of MP Motorsport's Gabriele Minì in third. AS IT HAPPENED It was a good start from León, who kept the lead ahead of Bilinski, while Minì kept P3 ahead of Joshua Duerksen. In the battle for P11 Ritomo Miyata and Oliver Goethe went wheel-to-wheel through the hairpin and Mirabeau. However, they made slight contact which caused the MP Motorsport driver to pit, dropping him to the back of the field. Out in front, León was struggling to pull away from Bilinski with the DAMS driver consistently within DRS range of the Mexican during the opening laps. The top four drivers of León, Bilinski, Minì and Duerksen were pulling away from the rest of the field, and by Lap 5 just two seconds separated the quartet. Down the field, Laurens van Hoepen, who started in P21 was up to 15th by Lap 8. However, the TRIDENT driver's charge was halted when he was given a 10-second time penalty for leaving the track and gaining an advantage at the start. On to Lap 11 of 30, the drivers entered management mode, but the top four were still close, and were covered by 2.7s. As the race reached the halfway point, Dino Beganovic had closed the gap to Duerksen and was now within DRS range of the Invicta Racing driver. Miyata, who had been running with a broken front wing since his contact with Goethe on the opening lap, was looking to make a move past Tasanapol Inthraphuvasak at Tabac, but found the door closed on Lap 17. By the next lap the top two of León and Bilinski had pulled a three-second gap to Minì, as they continued to battle for the lead. The Italian driver was now running on his own having built a 2.3s gap to Duerksen in P4, with Beganovic right on the back of the Invicta driver on Lap 20. Miyata's pressure on Inthraphuvasak finally paid off on Lap 22 as he dived to the inside of the ART Grand Prix driver on the run to Tabac. On the next lap, the Hitech driver was putting pressure on Nikola Tsolov for P10, while behind them, Mari Boya went around the outside of van Hoepen at the hairpin for P15. With five laps to go, Inthraphuvasak retired to the pitlane with an issue. At the front of the field, León was now 2.4s ahead of Bilinski with Minì having closed the gap on the Polish rookie, just over a second away on Lap 27. The Campos driver continued to pull away and by the start of the final lap he was over three seconds clear of the rest of the field and would go on to win for the second time this season. Bilinski held off Minì's charge to take his maiden podium, with Duerksen in P4 ahead of Beganovic. Stenshorne finished sixth ahead of Kush Maini, as Rafael Câmara rounded out the points in eighth. KEY QUOTE – Noel León, Campos Racing “Feels great to win in Monaco, my second win in a row on a weekend and in a Sprint. I feel very happy to be honest. Yesterday we missed a bit, we missed pole, but luckily it put me in a position to start on the front row today, to get the 10 points, and for the championship it is great. I have a great opportunity tomorrow to score again good points, that's the goal for this weekend and I am very happy that every weekend we are stronger and stronger and qualifying is going to get there at some points, so very happy.” THE CHAMPIONSHIP STANDINGS Gabriele Minì continues to lead the Drivers' Championship with 63 points, while Noel León has jumped up second, 20 points adrift of his rival. Martinius Stenshorne is third on 38 points, with Rafael Câmara a further point in fourth, as Nikola Tsolov rounds out the top five with 36. In the Teams' Standings, Campos Racing have taken over at the top with 79 points, while MP Motorsport slip to second with 75. Rodin Motorsport are third with 68 points, with Invicta Racing a further 10 points behind in fourth, as DAMS Lucas Oil sit fifth on 38.

Kimi Antonelli vince ancora. Al Gran Premio di Monaco centra la sua quinta affermazione consecutiva: un record dopo l'altro per il pilota italiano della Mercedes che - scattato dalla inattesa pole position del sabato - domina per intero i settantotto giri di una sesta tappa iridata che si movimenta nel finale con due Safety Car e un'interruzione con la bandiera rossa al settantottesimo giro a causa delle precarie condizioni del manto stradale all'ultima curva prima del rettilineo dei box.
Kimi Antonelli confirmou o favoritismo demonstrado durante todo o fim de semana e venceu neste domingo o GP de Mônaco de Fórmula 1. O piloto da Mercedes liderou praticamente toda a corrida após largar da pole-position, conquistando sua quinta vitória consecutiva e ampliando ainda mais sua vantagem na liderança do campeonato. Lewis Hamilton terminou em segundo pela Ferrari, enquanto Isack Hadjar completou o pódio provisoriamente em terceiro após uma corrida marcada por abandonos, múltiplas punições, Safety Car, bandeira vermelha e o abandono de Charles Leclerc diante de sua torcida nas voltas finais.
La Fórmula E afronta este domingo la segunda carrera del histórico doble evento del E-Prix de Mónaco tras una espectacular Ronda 9 que volvió a confirmar por qué Monte Carlo se ha convertido en uno de los escenarios más imprevisibles y estratégicos del campeonato eléctrico. Las estrechas calles del Principado recibieron una carrera marcada por accidentes, cambios constantes de posición, estrategias de PIT BOOST y un desenlace que alteró completamente la lucha por el campeonato. Nyck de Vries fue el gran protagonista del sábado al lograr una brillante victoria para Mahindra Racing, la primera del equipo en la era GEN3 y el regreso del neerlandés al escalón más alto del podio desde Berlín 2022. El campeón de la Temporada 7 ejecutó una carrera impecable, aprovechando perfectamente la ventana estratégica del PIT BOOST y gestionando con precisión tanto el ATTACK MODE como el ritmo en las vueltas decisivas para construir una ventaja definitiva sobre sus perseguidores. La prueba dejó además un importante giro en la clasificación general. Mitch Evans volvió a demostrar el enorme potencial competitivo de Jaguar con una sólida segunda posición que le permite colocarse como nuevo líder del Campeonato Mundial de Pilotos, superando a Pascal Wehrlein y llegando a la Ronda 10 con una ventaja de 15 puntos. Jaguar también logró asaltar el liderato del campeonato de equipos, aumentando todavía más la presión sobre Porsche en un momento clave de la temporada. Uno de los grandes nombres propios del sábado fue Pepe Martí. El piloto español heredó el tercer puesto tras la penalización posterior a la carrera de Dan Ticktum y consiguió así su primer podio en Fórmula E, convirtiéndose además en el primer español en subir al cajón dentro del campeonato eléctrico. El rendimiento del rookie de CUPRA KIRO confirmó el enorme nivel competitivo que está mostrando durante su temporada de debut y lo sitúa como uno de los focos principales para la segunda carrera del fin de semana. La Ronda 9 volvió a demostrar también lo delicado que resulta cualquier error en Monte Carlo. Nick Cassidy y Jake Dennis provocaron el primer Safety Car tras un accidente en las primeras vueltas, mientras que más adelante Nico Mueller, Pascal Wehrlein, Oliver Rowland y Antonio Félix da Costa quedaron atrapados en distintos incidentes que condicionaron completamente sus carreras. El espectacular accidente entre Ticktum y Da Costa en la curva 10 terminó siendo uno de los momentos más impactantes del fin de semana y volvió a evidenciar el límite absoluto al que se compite en las calles del Principado. A diferencia de la carrera del sábado, la Ronda 10 se disputará sin PIT BOOST, devolviendo el protagonismo absoluto a la gestión energética tradicional, al posicionamiento estratégico y al uso del ATTACK MODE. Esta configuración suele generar carreras todavía más compactas, donde la eficiencia y la lectura táctica adquieren un peso enorme en un circuito donde adelantar exige precisión milimétrica y máxima confianza. Con el campeonato completamente abierto, Jaguar creciendo en rendimiento, Porsche obligado a reaccionar y Mahindra reforzada tras su inesperada victoria, el E-Prix de Mónaco afronta una segunda carrera cargada de tensión deportiva y con múltiples candidatos reales al triunfo en uno de los escenarios más emblemáticos del automovilismo mundial.
En este episodio de Más Allá del Paddock, Pia Ramos explora cómo la Formula 1 se convirtió en el máximo laboratorio de seguridad y tecnología dentro del automovilismo. Desde los primeros años del campeonato, donde los pilotos corrían prácticamente sin protección, hasta la actualidad, la evolución de la seguridad ha transformado por completo el deporte y ha salvado innumerables vidas.El capítulo repasa momentos clave en la historia de la F1 y cómo tragedias y accidentes marcaron el camino hacia nuevas medidas de protección. Desde la llegada del Nomex gracias a la colaboración entre la NASA y Bill Simpson, hasta la evolución de los cascos modernos hechos con materiales como Kevlar, cada avance representa décadas de prueba, error e innovación tecnológica aplicada a la supervivencia en pista.También se analiza el impacto de elementos fundamentales como el Halo, una de las incorporaciones más polémicas y al mismo tiempo más importantes de los últimos años. Su efectividad quedó demostrada en distintos accidentes y hoy es uno de los símbolos más claros del compromiso de la FIA con la seguridad de los pilotos, junto con los crash tests y la evolución constante de los monoplazas.Además, Pia habla sobre el origen del Safety Car, la importancia de los protocolos modernos y cómo la Formula 1 sigue desarrollando tecnología que después termina llegando a los autos de calle. Un recorrido por más de 75 años de innovación que demuestra que, aunque la F1 es más segura que nunca, cada carrera sigue representando un enorme desafío para los pilotos.

THIS WEEK'S NASIR HAMEED CORNER WE HAVE: GIACOMO AGOSTINI AND ALEXANDER ROSSI FROM MONZA BY THE HOST OF F1W IN 2010 ALEX ZANARDI October 23, 1966 - May 1, 2026 At WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca, legends aren't just made; they are carved into the corners themselves. Thirty years ago, at the infamous Corkscrew, Alex Zanardi delivered one of the boldest moves motorsport has ever seen. Chasing Bryan Herta in the closing laps, Zanardi saw an opportunity where none should exist. As they crested the hill, nearly blind to what lay beyond, Zanardi committed...diving down the inside into the Corkscrew, a line few would even consider, let alone attempt. It was instinct, precision, and fearless intent, all in a single breathtaking moment. Side by side through the drop, gravity pulling them into chaos, Zanardi merged ahead, completing a pass that defied logic and redefined what was possible on the track. Decades later, that move still echoes through Laguna Seca, a reminder that greatness isn't just about speed, but about daring to do what no one else will. Alex Zanardi's impact reaches far beyond the racetrack. He inspired generations of drivers, fans, and communities around the world, and his legacy will continue to do so for years to come. Grazie Alex. Charles Leclerc's day at the Miami International Autodrome has taken a turn for the worse after the stewards gave him a post-race time penalty. Leclerc was called up by the officiating panel for three separate potential offences, triggered when the Ferrari man suffered a last-lap spin and tapped the wall. After that, Leclerc was noted for driving his damaged car in an unsafe condition, leaving the track multiple times and gaining an advantage, and clashing with Mercedes rival George Russell at the final hairpin. Following their investigations, the stewards opted to hand Leclerc a drive-through penalty, which – given that this was handed out after the Grand Prix – has been converted into 20 seconds being added onto his race time, dropping him down the order to eighth place. This penalty was given for leaving the track “on several occasions without a justifiable reason”, a document released following the stewards' hearing confirmed. After hearing from Leclerc and a team representative – as well as the data, video and radio evidence – the findings from the stewards read: “Car 16 spun on the last lap at Turn 3 and hit the wall but continued on track. “The driver informed us that the car appeared fine save that the car would not negotiate the righthand corners properly. “Given this problem, he was forced to cut chicanes on the way to the chequered flag. We determined that the fact that he had to cut the chicanes (i.e. to leave the track) meant that he gained a lasting advantage by leaving the track in that manner. “The fact that he had a mechanical issue of some sort did not amount to a justifiable reason. We accordingly impose a Drive Through penalty on Car 16, given the number of times the car left the track and gained an advantage. “We also considered whether there was an additional breach in continuing to drive a car with an obvious and discernible mechanical issue. We determined that there was no evidence of there being an obvious of discernible mechanical issue. We therefore took no further action in relation to that potential infringement.” In a separate investigation for Leclerc's contact with Russell into Turn 17, the stewards deemed that no further action was necessary, stating in a document from that hearing: “Both drivers considered the contact to be minor racing incidents and we agreed. Verstappen fights back from first lap spin to take fifth in Miami Oracle Red Bull Racing's Max Verstappen fought back from a spin on the opening lap with a determined drive into fifth place at a chaotic Miami Grand Prix that saw Visa Cash App Racing Bulls rookie Arvid Lindblad finish in 14th as both Isack Hadjar and Liam Lawson crashed out of the action early. After qualifying in an impressive second place on Saturday behind eventual Grand Prix winner and Drivers' Standings leader Kimi Antonelli of Mercedes, Verstappen made a strong start, but was squeezed on to the kerb just two turns into the 57-lap race and spun, dropping him to ninth. From there, the four-time Formula 1 world champion staged an impressive fight back through the field. The Safety Car was deployed on Lap 5 when team-mate Isack Hadjar crashed out of the Grand Prix and Verstappen took the opportunity to pit for hard tyres, rejoining the race in 16th place. Verstapppen scythed through the field on the first street circuit of the season, all the way back inside the top three. However, the huge stint driven on hard tyres began to take their toll in the closing laps and despite fighting with everything he had, the Dutch driver dropped to fifth place the chequered flag. Later on the same lap that Hadjar crashed out in the second RB22, Visa Cash App RB's Liam Lawson was also forced to retire after making contact with Pierre Gasly's Alpine. His rookie team-mate Arvid Lindblad drover another solid Grand Prix however, gaining vital street circuit experience in an F1 car on his way to 14th place. Quotes Oracle Red Bull Racing MAX VERSTAPPEN – 5th “It was a very eventful race. Unfortunately, on lap one I lost the rear and spun in the second corner, which was a shame. I recovered it well, but then we had to manage and minimise the time loss. After that we opted to do an early stop. It's easy to say after the race, but the hard tyre wasn't really working for us, as we didn't have particularly good grip and struggled a bit at the end. I tried my best to hang in there, but it wasn't meant to be. However, for sure we picked up a bit of performance, which is really promising. Overall, it was a positive weekend for us and good to be back in the mix. The car is a work in progress and we keep on pushing and keep trying to improve, so we are heading in the right direction." ISACK HADJAR – DNF “It's a tough one to take. We had a good start from the pitlane and I felt awesome the first few laps. We had very good pace early on and then the mistake came. I didn't see it coming and everything went so fast. I was just too eager and ended up finding the limit of the track. I need to look back at what happened to understand where I went wrong. The team made a big step forward and the pace was much stronger today than we've had in the opening rounds, so I'm frustrated that I couldn't score what I felt were easy points. I'm already itching to get back into the car in Canada and maximise what we now have." LAURENT MEIKES – CEO & Team Principal "Our car is very different today to what it was five weeks ago in Japan, when we were 1.2 seconds off pole. It's clear we still have a lot of work to do, but looking at our race pace today and our quali pace yesterday, I think we are on the right track. We brought upgrades, like almost everyone else, but on top of that we have been able to resolve some of the issues we had up until now and we found some lap time there too. "I have no problem repeating myself when I say we have a fantastic team of people back in Milton Keynes and here at the race track. In my opinion its the best talent in the paddock and they must take the credit for this uptick in performance. It's been a strong united effort at 360 degrees, chassis side and PU side. "We also take home some very important learnings from this weekend on what to improve next and we are well aware that much more is needed in order to compete again for the top spot. Max reminded us of how incredible he is when he can push with the car, sticking the RB22 on the front row yesterday and fighting for each millimetre of track today, coming through the entire field and surviving a 50ish lap long stint on the hard. Isack did not have a clean weekend and we did not help him with the back of the grid start due to our mistake yesterday. His initial pace in the race was strong and I have every confidence we will regroup back in MK and come back stronger for a smoother weekend in Montreal."
This Formula Fanatics episode recaps the Japanese Grand Prix at Suzuka: “Kimi” wins despite a poor start, finishes 14 seconds ahead of Piastri, and the race features Beerman's major 50G crash after a sudden slowdown ahead, plus a long cleanup that impacts strategy and hurts Russell after a safety-car sequence. They discuss concerns about speed disparity, energy management, and rumored FIA reconsideration of the 50/50 electric split, along with upcoming regulation changes and Ferrari upgrades, noting Miami is likely processional while Canada may better reveal impacts. They criticize Cadillac's poor performance and debate Audi's mid-pack results and viability, including talk of leadership rumors. Tania gives her take on the F1 movie: impressive visuals but an unrealistic, overlong storyline, with skepticism about a sequel; they mention interest in a forthcoming Schumacher project focused on 1994. ===== (Oo---x---oO) ===== 00:00 Suzuka Recap Begins 01:20 Winner and Early Drama 02:00 Beerman Crash Breakdown 02:50 Power Unit Rules Debate 03:40 Cleanup Chaos and Safety Car 04:40 Russell Radio Weirdness 05:21 Cadillac Strategy Fiasco 06:42 Battles and Hamilton Buzz; Ferrari F40 & Off Track Drama 09:31 Mansell on Hamilton's Eighth Title, and Does Eight Titles Matter? 15:18 Is Racing Too Artificial Now? 15:35 Reg Changes Preview 16:45 Audi Midfield Debate 20:08 Drivers And Leadership 21:30 Miami And Canada Outlook 23:05 F1 Movie Reactions 29:15 Schumacher '94 Hype 30:37 Wrap Up And Sponsors ==================== Formula Fanatics, is the high-octane sub-series of Break/Fix Podcast's Drive Thru Motorsports News!

El GT World Challenge Europe ha arrancado en Paul Ricard con una auténtica carrera de resistencia: seis horas de estrategia, incidentes y un final completamente imprevisible. Cuando todo parecía bajo control del Mercedes #48 de Mann-Filter, un Safety Car en los compases finales cambió por completo el escenario. Ahí emergió el Aston Martin de Comtoyou Racing, que venía remontando tras incluso sufrir un pinchazo en el inicio. Nicki Thiim culminó la remontada con un adelantamiento decisivo sobre Lucas Auer a menos de diez minutos del final, firmando una victoria tan inesperada como espectacular. Una prueba que volvió a demostrar la esencia de la resistencia: puedes dominar durante horas… y perderlo todo en cuestión de minutos. Más allá de la general, el campeonato dejó múltiples lecturas por categorías: Garage 59 se llevó la Gold Cup con su McLaren #58 —colándose además en el podio absoluto—, Pure Racing ganó la Silver Cup y Rutronik dominó en Bronze. Todo en una parrilla donde cada clase vive su propia carrera y donde las remontadas fueron protagonistas, como la del BMW #32 o el McLaren #59. También repasamos la actuación de los españoles: Dani Juncadella rozando el top 5 tras una gran salida, el debut de Javier Sagrera en GTs, el doble esfuerzo de Lorenzo Fluxá compitiendo en dos campeonatos el mismo fin de semana y el complicado estreno del equipo con Roberto Merhi y Mari Boya, marcado por incidentes y sanciones, pero con aprendizaje clave en su adaptación al GT3. Primera cita del año y mensaje claro: en este campeonato no gana el más rápido… gana el que mejor gestiona el caos hasta el último minuto.
At this year's season-opening Australian Grand Prix, Bernd Maylander reached a remarkable milestone of 500 races as the FIA Safety Car Driver.Speaking to Tom Clarkson, Bernd reflects on how the Safety Car and his job have evolved since his first race back in 2000 and some of the most iconic races he's been involved in over the last 25 years.He talks through what a Grand Prix weekend looks like for him, the role his co-driver Richard Darker plays and some of the challenges they face – like picking up the leader when the Safety Car is deployed and judging wet conditions. Bernd also reveals what it feels like to have the fastest drivers on the planet right behind him and how he handles them complaining about his speed.This episode is sponsored by: Liquid I.V. - go to liquidiv.com and get 20% off your first purchase with code GRID at checkoutSaily - get an exclusive 15% discount on your first Saily data plans!

Round three of the 2026 F1 World Championship - the all-new F1 championship - resulted in a second consecutive win for Mercedes' Kimi Antonelli. After making a slow start from the pole, Kimi benefitted from a lap 22 Safety Car deployment to vault past his team-mate, George Russell, McLaren-Mercedes' Oscar Piastri and Ferrari's Charles Leclerc. He pulled away impressively at the re-start and was thereafter never headed. Piastri, whose medium Pirellis had been in good shape when he was strangely called in for hards on lap 21, finished second; and Leclerc was third for Ferrari, ahead of Russell, McLaren's Lando Norris and Sir Lewis Hamilton in the other Ferrari. Peter details all three days at Suzuka in this podcast - and there's a bonus at the end as Mark Slade adds his take on the race.Mark Slade has been a race engineer at McLaren, Mercedes, Renault and Haas and has played a major role in two World Championships, 34 GP wins, 101 podiums and 40 pole positions.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.

ON TODAYS PROGRAM… KIMI WINS AGAIN WITH A LITTLE SAFETY CAR KARMA! GEORGE GETS HIS CAGE RATTLED BY ANTONELLI MCLAREN QUICKLY CATCHING UP WITH MERCEDES. RED BULL CLEARLY A MID PACK TEAM. DID THE NEW RULES CONTRIBUTE TO OLIE'S BIG CRASH? AND…FERNANDO HELD BACK GP2 ENGINE aaahhh! THIS WEEK'S NASIR HAMEED CORNER WE HAVE: CHRISTIAN KLEIN. 2026 Japanese Grand Prix - Sunday Kimi Antonelli It feels great to get my second win! I made a bad start from pole and was kicking myself that we lost so many positions. When we were in free air on the Medium tyre though, I was able to improve my pace quite a lot. We were fortunate with the timing of the Safety Car and that put us in the lead; it made my life a lot easier! Who knows what would have happened without that, but I felt like we had the speed today to challenge for the win without it. This is the best way to head into this mini break in the season. I am going to enjoy the moment but use the time well to work on where I can improve. As a team, and despite winning the first three races, we know we need to keep raising our game too. We had a real battle today and we know that it's not going to be easy to keep up this run of form. We're looking forward to using the time ahead of Miami well and hopefully putting ourselves in a strong position once the season resumes. George Russell We've had a lot of bad luck this weekend and that is unfortunate as we were definitely in the fight for the win today. After a difficult start, we'd managed to get ourselves back to P2 but stopped just one lap before the safety car was deployed. That changed the complexion of the race and unfortunately, after taking the restart in P3, we lost two more positions as a result firstly of hitting the harvesting limit and then an unexpected superclip. It was pretty frustrating but that's the way racing goes sometimes. It's clear from this weekend that our competitors are beginning to optimise their cars much more now. We have enjoyed a great start to the season, but our rivals are hot on our heels as we saw today. The upcoming gap in the calendar will also give everyone a chance to develop further so we know that, once we're back on track in Miami, we are in for a proper fight. Toto Wolff, CEO & Team Principal We had an exciting race today with plenty of overtaking which hasn't always been the case here at Suzuka. It's a new way of racing where you have to think strategically in order to both pass and then make sure it sticks. It's a great challenge for both the drivers and the teams and it makes the race very unpredictable. Sometimes you need the luck to go your way in racing and that was the case with Kimi today. He lost positions at the start but was able to get them back with a fortunately timed safety car. Whilst that was helpful to him, his pace in the second half of the race showed what he was capable of. George was on the flip side of that equation and lost out having pitted just one lap before the safety car came out. He then lost more positions, firstly on the restart as he hit the harvesting limit and was low on deployment and then secondly with an unexpected superclip. He fought hard to get back to P4, but he's certainly had more than his share of bad luck this weekend. Andrew Shovlin, Trackside Engineering Director Well done to Kimi on his second win. He had really strong pace and, whilst he benefited from the safety car to put him into the lead, he was able to comfortably control the race once he was in that position. Kimi's fortune was George's misfortune. Had we stopped George a lap later, he would have retained the lead for the restart. As it happened, he dropped to P3 and lost a further place to Lewis when he hit the harvesting limit too early in the lap and had insufficient battery for the restart. He then had another frustrating issue where a bug in the software code, triggered by a button press and a gear shift at the same time, caused the power unit to go into superclip and charge the battery which allowed Charles to pass. He battled back to P4 but it was a frustrating afternoon for George. Clearly there is a lot that we need to work on and understand in the next few weeks. We've made a great start to the season, but our competitors are closing in. Happily, we have several areas of improvement and we will make the maximum use of the gap in the calendar to develop in the places where we are not strong enough. Palou Dominates To Win in Another Barber Beatdown BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (Sunday, March 29, 2026) – Alex Palou appears to be running wild again after another dominant victory at Barber Motorsports Park. Four-time and defending NTT INDYCAR SERIES champion Palou earned his second victory in four races this season in the No. 10 DHL Chip Ganassi Racing Honda, starting from the pole and winning the Children's of Alabama Indy Grand Prix powered by AmFirst by 13.2775 seconds over the No. 7 Arrow McLaren Chevrolet of Christian Lundgaard. Palou led 79 of the 90 laps on the 17-turn, 2.3-mile road course. SEE: Race Results “Incredible day,” Palou said. “I told you qualifying was one of the best car balances I've ever driven. Today in the race, it was pretty good in the beginning, really good at the end, but we suffered a little bit on the used blacks (Firestone Firehawk primary tires) that we had to use. “Another win here. Love this place, love the fans. What a great day.” Graham Rahal placed third in the No. 15 First Third Bank Honda fielded by Rahal Letterman Lanigan Racing, his first podium finish since August 2023 at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway road course. “I felt like this was coming,” Rahal said. “We're pretty pleased with this. Feels good.” David Malukas continued his consistent start to his Team Penske tenure by finishing fourth in the No. 12 Verizon Team Penske Chevrolet. Malukas has placed sixth or better in three of his four starts with the fabled team this season. Series leader Kyle Kirkwood rounded out the top five finishers – all from different teams – in the No. 27 JM Bullion/Gold.com Honda of Andretti Global. There's something about this rolling, picturesque circuit and recent dominance by Palou, who earned his third career Barber win. He won last year in 16.005 seconds. The first of his 21 career victories also came here in 2021, but by a scant .4016 of a second. One more ominous fact about Palou's victory for the other 24 drivers in the field: He has gone on to win the Astor Challenge Cup as series champion in the same season as both of his prior Barber victories. Palou stayed in second in the 2026 series standings with this victory but trimmed the gap to leader Kirkwood from 26 to two points as he tries to win a fourth consecutive title. While the margin of victory was the biggest in an NTT INDYCAR SERIES race since Palou's crushing victory last April at Barber, the final gap might be a bit misleading. Palou led by 7.2 seconds on Lap 52 while running on a used pair of Firestone Firehawk primary tires, but Lundgaard started to chip away at that gap, gaining nearly a half-second on some laps on the quicker but less durable alternate tire. The gap was trimmed to three seconds when Palou made his final pit stop at the end of Lap 65, taking another set of used primary tires for the run to the finish. Lundgaard inherited the lead during Palou's last stop and stayed on track for another four laps, trying to gain more time on Palou and perhaps land within striking distance of Palou after Lundgaard's last stop. Lundgaard entered the pits at the end of Lap 69 for his final service. But calamity struck, as the right-rear wheel change was slow. That produced a 17.8-second stop, about nine seconds slower than normal. Lundgaard returned to the track in third, behind Rahal. Game over. Palou was home free. “I think so,” Lundgaard said when asked if he could have caught Palou. “We know the pace that we had and just how we were catching him. It's unfortunate. The guys have done an amazing job, and I don't think that's (mistake) ever really happened. One in almost 100 starts, I think it's OK.” Palou led Rahal by 10.8 seconds after that pit drama and cruised to the finish in the caution-free race. But Lundgaard and Rahal engaged in a spirited joust for second over the closing laps, with Lundgaard finally diving under Rahal in Turn 5 for second with three laps to go. That was the last of 11 on-track passes during the race for Lundgaard, including seven for position in the top 10 – both race highs. “At the end of the day, I wanted to go out there and repass Graham,” Lundgaard said. “Just to make up for that (pit mistake) and put a statement to, ‘We got it.'” Rahal then held off a charging Malukas to keep the precious podium spot for Rahal Letterman Lanigan Racing. The next NTT INDYCAR SERIES race is the Acura Grand Prix of Long Beach on Sunday, April 19.
ON TODAYS PROGRAM… CONGRATULATIONS TO KIMI FOR POLE AND THE WIN! MERCEDES CLEARLY AHEAD OF THE PACK! WITH FERRARI RIGHT BEHIND FERNANDO SEES THE END OF RACING WITH DRIVING SLOW IN THE CORNERS TO HARVEST KILOWATTS… LAWRENCE STROLL CLOSE TO THE BRAKING POINT COULD SELL ASTON MARTIN TO BYD! UNLIKE MAX…LCH LOVES THE NEW CARS! AND…. THIS WEEK'S NASIR HAMEED CORNER WE HAVE: ARVID LINBLAD AND UGO UGOCHUKWU….ENJOY! Kimi Antonelli became the second youngest F1 winner of all time, beating Mercedes team-mate George Russell into second place in Shanghai, while Lewis Hamilton claimed his first ever podium for Ferrari. But it was another chaotic, controversial grand prix under these new 2026 regulations. Neither McLaren made it to the grid, world champion Lando Norris and team-mate Oscar Piastri both suffering from unspecified technical gremlins. After his crash on the formation lap in Melbourne last weekend, Piastri becomes the first driver since team founder Bruce McLaren back in 1969 to fail to start successive races. But they were hardly alone. Williams' Alex Albon and Audi's Gabriel Bortoleto also failed to start, while Red Bull's four-time world champion Max Verstappen was one of three more drivers who failed to finish. Aston Martin's Fernando Alonso had to retire due to excessive vibrations from his power unit – the same vibrations he was worried might lead to “permanent nerve damage” in Australia. The controversial new 50–50 hybrid power units for this season, combined with active aerodynamics, have completely split fans and drivers. Some are enjoying the lack of reliability and hugely increased overtaking, with drivers able to deploy “boost” and “overtake” modes. Others, notably four-time champion Max Verstappen, decry the action as “artificial”, comparing this new era to computer games such as Mario Kart. You certainly cannot accuse these new rules of failing to produce action. China, the second race of the season, was meant to herald a return to something more “normal” after an extraordinary120 overtakes at the season opener in Australia last weekend. But it was just the same. A wild start, in which the fast-starting Ferraris surged to the front from the second row. A wacky first stint, in which the Ferraris and Mercedes battled for supremacy. And then – after a safety car came out on lap 10 when Aston Martin's Lance Stroll retired – Mercedes gradually pulling clear. Antonelli, 19, eventually won by 5.5sec ahead of Russell to become the first Italian winner of a Formula One race for 20 years, since Giancarlo Fisichella at Sepang in 2006, and the second youngest grand prix winner of all time behind Verstappen, while Hamilton was another 19.7sec back, having emerged victorious from a furious tussle with team-mate Charles Leclerc in which they repeatedly swapped positions and went wheel to wheel. Leclerc said it was “fun” while Hamilton called it “one of most enjoyable races” he has ever had. Fans will be split on that sentiment. Briton Oliver Bearman was an impressive fifth for Haas, just shy of his best ever finish, fourth place in Mexico last year. Kimi Antonelli... What an incredible day! This win is a fulfilment of one of the dreams I've had ever since I first drove a go-kart. I want to say thank you to my amazing family and the incredible team at both Lauda Drive and Morgan Drive. I couldn't have done this without any of them, and it means so much to take my first victory in F1. It was a very special moment for all of us. The race itself wasn't easy. I lost a position at the start and had to fight back to get ahead. We then had to manage the Safety Car restart which wasn't easy on the Hard compound. It was difficult to get the tyres working but fortunately we were able to before we were under threat from those behind. This has been a great way to close the first double-header of the season but there is lots of work ahead. We aren't taking anything for granted and will make sure we work hard ahead of Japan and arrive in Suzuka in the strongest position we can. George Russell... Firstly, huge congratulations to Kimi on his first victory in F1. He drove a great race, and it was brilliant to be up there on the podium with him. I am sure it is a moment he will never forget and to do it with the team scoring a 1-2 is fantastic. My own race was not straightforward. I lost positions both at the start and then at the Safety Car restart as we struggled to switch the Hard tyres on. The Ferraris were quick, particularly in the early stages, and we had to get back past them twice. They were fast in all the right places and that made our job a lot more difficult. Happily, we were able to do it each time, but it cost us the chance to fight for the win. It has been a great way to start the season, and we are definitely the team to beat at the moment. We have been put under a lot of pressure at these first two races, and we need to keep pushing hard. The package is strong though so I'm looking forward to heading to the next race in Japan. Kirkwood Outduels Champ Palou To Win Arlington, Take Series Lead ARLINGTON, Texas (Sunday, March 15, 2026) – It's been a long time since a rival driver made Alex Palou blink, but Kyle Kirkwood achieved that rare feat to win the inaugural Java House Grand Prix at Arlington on Sunday. Kirkwood took the NTT INDYCAR SERIES championship lead and earned his first victory of the season despite a sluggish final pit stop by his Andretti Global crew, driving his No. 27 JM Bullion/Gold.com Honda to victory under caution over the No. 10 DHL Chip Ganassi Racing Honda of four-time series champion Palou, who has won the title the last three seasons. SEE: Race Results “That was so incredible,” Kirkwood said. “Man, did we have some pace. This JM Bullion Honda, Andretti, all these guys right here, they gave me the tools today. It's because of this race car we won today, because of teamwork. “One-three-four (finish) for Andretti; we're just so stacked here. I'm so stoked.” Andretti Global placed three drivers into the top four at the finish of the 70-lap street-circuit race around AT&T Stadium, home of the Dallas Cowboys, and Globe Life Field, home of the Texas Rangers. Will Power placed third in the No. 26 TWG AI Honda for his first podium finish at his new team after 16 full-time seasons at Team Penske. Marcus Ericsson, who earned his first career pole Saturday, finished fourth in the No. 28 InPwr Honda. Pato O'Ward rounded out the top five finishers in the No. 5 Arrow McLaren Chevrolet, the highest-placing Chevrolet-powered driver on the 14-turn, 2.73-mile circuit. “This Andretti Honda camp is fricking strong on street courses,” O'Ward said. “We've got a lot of work to do if we want to start winning races on outright pace against them.” Pure pace helped Kirkwood, who started seventh and overcome a tepid final pit stop to overhaul Palou down the stretch. Palou and Kirkwood were running first and second, respectively, when both made their final stops on the preferred three-stop strategy on Lap 49. The Chip Ganassi Racing crew completed Palou's stop in 7.7 seconds, while Kirkwood's service took 9.5 seconds due to a slow change of the right rear wheel. When both drivers returned to full steam on their out lap, Palou led Kirkwood by 2.2 seconds. But Kirkwood used the speed that helped him lead the pre-qualifying practice Saturday, pulling to within .323 of a second of Palou at the start of Lap 55, with both drivers on the more durable Firestone Firehawk tires in a straight-up duel for the win. Kirkwood didn't waste any time flexing muscle, diving under Palou from a long distance in Turn 13 near the end of Lap 55 and making the daring pass stick for the lead. “He did an awesome pass; hats off to him,” Palou said. “It was super clean, and it was pretty impressive. We'll get them in a couple weeks.” Kirkwood then started to pull away, building a five-second lead by Lap 66. Then that margin evaporated when ECR driver Christian Rasmussen nosed his No. 21 Java House Chevrolet into the tire barrier at pit exit on Lap 68, triggering the first full-course yellow of the race. That bunched the field for a one-lap dash to the checkered flag. Kirkwood pulled away on the restart and was able to exhale early in the final lap when the second and final full-course yellow flew due to a collision between the No. 18 BMax Honda of Dale Coyne Racing's Romain Grosjean and the No. 6 Arrow McLaren Chevrolet of Nolan Siegel deep in the field. “Not today,” Palou said when asked if he thought he could have caught Kirkwood on the final lap. “I was pushing really hard on the first and second stint, and I could see that the 27 (Kirkwood) and the 12 (Power) were a little bit faster than us. I was like, ‘Oh, man, it's going to be quite hard.'” Kirkwood then cruised around the circuit one last time under yellow to cheers from the capacity crowd at this event, a joint venture between Penske Entertainment, the Dallas Cowboys and REV Entertainment, the official events partner of the Texas Rangers. He leads the standings by 26 points over second-place Palou after three of 18 races. “It's only race number three, so I'm not looking at the championship,” Kirkwood said. “But it is nice to say it's the first time I've ever led the championship in the INDYCAR SERIES.” The taut nature of the race, with its varying strategies about how often to stop for tires, resulted in terrific parity up front. Kirkwood, Palou and Power each led 16 laps to tie for the race high, with Ericsson fourth with 15 laps led. Caio Collet was the top-finishing rookie, 12th in the No. 4 Combitrans Amazonia Chevrolet fielded by AJ Foyt Racing. Phoenix winner Josef Newgarden, who entered this event in the series lead, fell to third after finishing 15th in the No. 2 PPG Team Penske Chevrolet. After three consecutive race weekends to open the season, the NTT INDYCAR SERIES will get a short break before resuming with the Children's of Alabama Indy Grand Prix powered by AmFirst on March 27-29 at Barber Motorsports Park in Birmingham, Alabama.
Welcome back! In this ep, we're ditching the mid-winter blues and focusing on the absolute chaos and excitement of the 2026 F1 pre-season. We're talking livery drops, the new safety car era, and why Toyota is suddenly everywhere. Plus, Mark Dailey spills the tea on his furnace disaster (major ick) and why the HVAC trade is arguably the ultimate bag alert right now.
Against all odds - against all logic - Max Verstappen and Red Bull-Honda decisively and clinically won the Qatar GP on Sunday, with McLaren-Mercedes finishing only P2-P4, sandwiching the Williams-Mercedes of Carlos Sainz. In what will be remembered as the most inexplicable strategy call of the 2025 season, both McLaren drivers were told to stay out when a Safety Car was deployed on lap seven. Thus went their chance of a "free" tyre change in a race in which the use of each set of Pirellis was uniquely limited to 25 laps. With the rest of the field switching tyres under the SC conditions, McLaren now faced a two-stop race against what had now effectively become a one-stop race for their opposition. And it was Max Verstappen who capitalised on that error - instantly and without blinking. He was quick on his second set of mediums - and he was McLaren-fast on his set of hard tyres, often surpassing Piastri's times in the first two sectors. His was a titanic win at a crucial point of the championship, for Lando Norris now goes to Abu Dhabi, the season's finale, with only a 12-point lead over Verstappen and a 16-point margin over his team-mate.

F1TV commentator Jolyon Palmer and Alpine Reserve Driver Paul Aron join Tom Clarkson in the Lusail paddock to reflect on another huge twist in this year's title race. The guys talk about the decisive moment of the Qatar Grand Prix, when everyone except both McLaren drivers pitted under the Safety Car and Max Verstappen took full advantage to ensure the championship fight goes down to the season-finale in Abu Dhabi. What was McLaren's thinking behind that strategy? Why did it cost them victory? And how should they have reacted differently? Tom, Jolyon and Paul also discuss why Oscar Piastri was back to his best in Qatar and why Lando Norris wasn't quite at the level he's shown in recent weeks. And with just 16 points now separating Lando, Max and Oscar, what will their mindset be in the build-up to this mouth-watering title showdown at the Yas Marina Circuit? Also on the agenda: Carlos Sainz's incredible performance to secure his second podium for Williams, another weekend to forget for Ferrari and a strong result for Fernando Alonso and Aston Martin following the news that Adrian Newey will become their Team Principal in 2026.

MCLAREN GIVES MAX THE GIFT THAT KEEPS ON GIVING! NORRIS KNEW THAT MICKEY DEE HAD JUST F…ED UP OSCAR ON THE EDGE OF TEARING UP AND, FERNANDO HAPPY TO BE IN THE POINTS! NASIR HAMEED CORNER HAS THE USUAL BANTER AND MORE ON THE USF1 FIASCO! LUSAIL CITY, QATAR - NOVEMBER 30: Race winner Max Verstappen of the Netherlands and Oracle Red Bull Racing celebrates on arrival in parc ferme during the F1 Grand Prix of Qatar at Lusail International Circuit on November 30, 2025 in Lusail City, Qatar. (Photo by Mark Thompson/Getty Images) MAX: “I feel great, I am really proud of that one. We made the right call as a Team there to box: it was definitely what made us win the race today, as I felt like we were not on the same level as McLaren in terms of pace. When a safety car comes in it can shake up the grid and that was a great opportunity for us to then win the race. We did a very good job as a Team and I was very proud of us, especially as we nailed the strategy. In Abu Dhabi, we have nothing to lose and we are going to give it everything that we have. Of course, we are relying on another crazy race like we had today, but we are going in there with positive energy. We need to maximise the car and be as competitive as we can. We will stay focused, try and have a good time and hope that we start the weekend well.” LAURENT MEKIES: “We can definitely be happy with that one. The pace in the car steadily improved from Friday night when we were in a tricky position, to tonight when we could fight with the McLarens, which is a testament to the Team once again. Of course, the decisive moment was the call to come in under the Safety Car and it was another great call from our strategy team here and those working back in Milton Keynes. From there on, Max didn't put a foot wrong, drove two incredible stints, taking great care of his tyres and managed to create a solid gap to the McLarens, which drove us to this most welcome race win! Yuki managed to recover to score points and his pace was promising at the end of the race once outside of the DRS train. We'll need to perform again in Abu Dhabi and we will have absolute focus on getting the car into a position where Max can fight at the front and look ahead. What happens behind him is not something we can control." CARLOS: Extremely happy! We had a very strong start and from there we executed a perfect race with strategy, tyre management, pit stops and communication. By the end of the second stint, I saw Piastri struggled to overtake me on fresh tyres, and at that moment I realised we had to go for the podium. I was pushing to the limit of the car but 6 laps to the end something suddenly broke! I started losing a lot of lap time in sectors 1 and 3 but I managed to keep it together and bring it home for P3! Today's result is testament to the team's hard work; I knew we were taking the right steps and, despite some difficult race weekends along the way, I had full confidence in what we are doing. I'm extremely proud of everyone, we deserve this P5 in the Constructor's Championship, and I look forward to finishing the season on another high in Abu Dhabi! Let's go. JAMES VOWLES: Exceptional. Really fantastic performance from Carlos and the team when it counted and every detail adds up. Getting on the podium by milliseconds really is such a just reward for the incredible work the whole team is putting in this year. I was proud of Carlos and the team when we got our first podium in Baku; the second is a dream come true, but perhaps more importantly at a track that was almost our worst last year. And we've come back, we've reinvented ourselves and the result is there for everyone to see. For Alex, we will come back fighting in Abu Dhabi. We haven't got it all together this weekend, but I'll reiterate that his performance across the season is why we've secured fifth in the constructors' championship today. And more so than that, his pace is still there. We just need to bring it all together. Finally, fifth would have been a dream come true just 12 months ago when we were languishing in ninth in the Constructors' Championship. Thank you very much.

(Photo by Lars Baron/LAT Images) OSCAR: Clearly we didn't get it right tonight. I drove the best race that I could as fast as I could and there was nothing left out there, so I tried my best. It wasn't to be tonight unfortunately. “I think in hindsight it's pretty obvious what we would've done. I'm sure we'll discuss it as a team. “It's not all bad, obviously,” Piastri said. “It's been a really good weekend. The pace has been very strong but obviously it's a little bit tough to swallow at the moment. “I'll just try and drive how I did this weekend, that's all I can do. I obviously need a lot of things to go in my direction so I'll just try and be as fast as I can and put myself in the best position possible and see what happens.” FERNANDO: "Two points yesterday and six today exceeds our expectations for this weekend. After the early Safety Car, we committed to the two-stop strategy along with everyone else. We didn't have the pace to fight ahead tonight. We got a bit lucky with the DRS train of cars and with how difficult it is to overtake here. We also got a bit lucky with the spin mid-race, because on another circuit maybe I would have ended up in the gravel. The points are a welcome boost in the battle in the Constructors' Championship as we head into Abu Dhabi." Martins wins in Lusail as Fornaroli seals 2025 Formula 2 title! Leonardo Fornaroli: It sounds amazing. I didn't have many expectations because it was a new car and my first time working with an English team, so it was a bit scary but their mentality since day one – I understood I made the right choice to go with them. Every day they were able to make me feel at home. We had so much fun over the season and they were able to give the right suggestions to help me improve, to make me feel better after a mistake or a bad race or moment. Also, having Roman as a teammate this year, we've known each other for three years, as we were together at TRIDENT, but in different categories. He has good experience in Formula 2, so I was able to learn a lot from him, and he made me improve as well. To achieve this now, it's a massive relief, and it's a big boost of confidence, because I was able to show what I'm capable of, and also I'm quite happy about how the season went. For sure, there were some mistakes I could have avoided, some for inexperience and some were just my mistakes, but it's part of the game. The Championship is very competitive. You always have to be at the limit to score good results. So mistakes can happen, but nevertheless, I learned, was able to improve, and now to finally win this Championship, it's a massive relief. It was a dream for me to become Champion with one round to go so I could race and experience the race with a lot less pressure. But still, I will do the best I can, because the fight for the Teams' Championship is still on. So I will push as much as I can in Abu Dhabi, and try to still improve.
