Video summary

F1 News today as the Azerbaijan Grand Prix weekend begins in Baku — and Esteban Ocon drops a huge new clue about the 2027 Haas driver story. Ocon now calls himself a “free agent” just one day after fresh reports linked Ferrari junior Rafael Câmara with his seat. Haas still have not confirmed their line-up, but after our Ferrari B-team debate, this story has suddenly become even more interesting. Lando Norris also hits back at George Russell over his theory about the 2026 F1 cars, Flavio Briatore issues a warning over the abuse aimed at Pierre Gasly, and Williams finally unleash the major Baku upgrade they hope can rescue a brutal season. Then it’s Azerbaijan GP preview time: qualifying top three, race podium, Driver of the Weekend and Dipstick of the Weekend predictions. 👉 Subscribe to F1 Grandstand: https://www.youtube.com/@F1Grandstand?sub_confirmation=1 🚨 OCON DROPS HUGE HAAS FUTURE CLUE Ocon says he is “definitely a free agent” for 2027 and confirms he is talking to other teams. Haas have made no final announcement, while Rafael Câmara is being strongly linked with the seat alongside Ollie Bearman. After yesterday’s debate over Haas potentially running two Ferrari academy drivers, has this story just taken another major turn? 🟠 NORRIS HITS BACK AT RUSSELL George Russell suggested the 2026 regulations favour certain driving styles. Norris strongly disagrees. He says the McLaren does NOT naturally suit his style and argues that his real strength is adaptability — adding that Russell cannot know how Norris drives from experience as his team-mate. 😡 FLAVIO FIRES WARNING OVER GASLY ABUSE Pierre Gasly has condemned threats and abuse aimed at him, his family and his girlfriend after the Franco Colapinto controversy. Gasly also says Alpine never actually ordered a position swap. Flavio Briatore has now warned that if the abuse happens again, he will stop Colapinto doing interviews with the Argentine press. 🔵 WILLIAMS’ HUGE BAKU TEST Williams bring major weight-saving and aerodynamic changes after a brutal start to 2026. The package should finally take the FW48 below the weight limit. Is this the breakthrough Williams desperately need — or simply catching up on work that should have been done months ago? 🏁 AZERBAIJAN GP PREVIEW Get your predictions ready for qualifying top three, race podium, Driver of the Weekend and Dipstick of the Weekend.
