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.

🚨 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?

The Haas Ferrari Situation Is Getting OUT OF HAND?! | F1 News

F1 News today as the 2027 Formula 1 driver market explodes. Haas are being strongly linked with Ferrari junior Rafael Câmara as Ollie Bearman’s team-mate next season — a move that could give the American team TWO Ferrari Driver Academy racers alongside its existing Ferrari technical partnership.

There is still no official Haas announcement, but Câmara is now widely reported as the favourite for Esteban Ocon’s seat. That raises a huge question: with Haas already using Ferrari power and multiple supplied components, would an all-Ferrari academy driver line-up push the relationship too far towards becoming a de facto Ferrari B team?

Meanwhile, Red Bull have officially confirmed Isack Hadjar will stay alongside Max Verstappen for 2027. Hadjar has earned another season with the senior team, but Liam Lawson’s future remains unresolved after stepping into the RB22 during Hadjar’s injury absence.

🔴 HAAS TO RUN TWO FERRARI DRIVERS?!

Rafael Câmara is being strongly linked with the Haas seat currently held by Esteban Ocon. Ollie Bearman is also a Ferrari Driver Academy product, meaning Haas could potentially field two Ferrari-backed drivers in 2027.

Haas already run Ferrari power and take several permitted components from Maranello. Tony asks whether adding two Ferrari academy drivers would make that relationship too close — and whether F1 needs clearer rules around customer teams and driver academies. No official Câmara deal has been announced by Haas yet.

🔥 HADJAR CONFIRMED AT RED BULL FOR 2027

This part IS official. Red Bull have confirmed Isack Hadjar alongside Max Verstappen for the 2027 F1 season.

🇳🇿 WHAT NOW FOR LIAM LAWSON?

Lawson impressed while deputising for Hadjar at Red Bull and now returns to Racing Bulls. But Red Bull have not yet confirmed the complete 2027 Racing Bulls line-up. Has Lawson already done enough to keep his place?

How Is This Allowed?! Something BIG Is Happening Between Haas And Ferrari… | F1 News

F1 News today as Toto Wolff warns Mercedes face a demanding run into the 2026 title fight — and Baku could expose exactly where the W17 remains vulnerable. Mercedes have not brought a major upgrade since Canada, Wolff says they need to “survive” Azerbaijan before their next package arrives, and despite Kimi Antonelli’s huge championship lead, nothing is won yet.

Kimi Antonelli is also handed the Lewis Hamilton benchmark in the “generational talent” debate, while Fernando Alonso’s Honda frustration gets awkward with a fresh report claiming he has been winding up Honda staff about Toyota. Plus Isack Hadjar is set for his Red Bull return in Baku, and the FIA confirms how active aero will work on F1’s longest flat-out blast.

🚨 BAKU COULD EXPOSE MERCEDES

Mercedes arrive in Azerbaijan leading both championships, but Toto Wolff is refusing to celebrate. The W17 has gone without a major upgrade since Canada, rivals have closed in and Mercedes’ next significant package is due after Baku. On a circuit that demands straight-line efficiency, braking stability, energy management and reliability, this could be a huge reality check before the title run-in.

🐐 ANTONELLI GETS THE HAMILTON BENCHMARK

Kimi Antonelli leads the championship by 81 points after back-to-back wins, but Alex Lynn says the “generational talent” label should wait. His benchmark is Lewis Hamilton: multiple championships and extraordinary drives becoming almost routine. Is Kimi already on that path — or are we getting ahead of ourselves?

😡 ALONSO WINDS UP HONDA OVER TOYOTA?!

F1Oversteer reports that an angry Fernando Alonso has been teasing Honda staff about Toyota as Aston Martin’s difficult 2026 continues. The key context: Alonso has publicly criticised recent Honda performance, but he has also repeatedly said he still has 100% trust that Honda can recover. Frustration? Absolutely. A confirmed split? No.

🔥 HADJAR RETURNS TO RED BULL

RacingNews365 reports Isack Hadjar is set to return alongside Max Verstappen in Baku after completing his final simulator evaluation. The wrist injury forced him to miss three races, with Liam Lawson stepping in. Now comes the big question: how quickly can Hadjar get back up to speed on one of F1’s most unforgiving street circuits?

⚡ FIA CONFIRMS BAKU ACTIVE AERO

The FIA will use two Straight Mode zones in Azerbaijan: the enormous 2.2km run from Turn 19 to Turn 1, plus the straight between Turns 2 and 3. With active front and rear wings reducing drag, Baku could be one of the biggest tests yet of F1 2026 energy deployment.

Mercedes Are Dominating… So What Is Toto REALLY Worried About?! | F1 News

F1 News today as Charles Leclerc reveals why he chose NOT to copy Lewis Hamilton’s driving style during his difficult spell with Ferrari’s SF-26.

Mercedes also reveal the SECRET radio codes they use to hide strategy calls from Formula 1 rivals, while Toto Wolff’s huge praise for Lando Norris raises a fresh question over Oscar Piastri’s struggles at McLaren. Plus Adrian Newey’s 2027 Aston Martin project takes shape as Honda faces another major test, and Isack Hadjar undergoes his final Red Bull evaluation before a Baku comeback decision.

🔴 LECLERC: I DIDN’T COPY LEWIS!

Charles Leclerc says Lewis Hamilton was in “incredible form” when he was struggling with the 2026 Ferrari. Hamilton’s driving style was working, but Leclerc says trying to copy another elite driver’s natural technique is incredibly difficult. Instead, he dug into the data, changed the SF-26 around his own needs and found a breakthrough that helped turn his season around.

🕵️ MERCEDES REVEAL THEIR SECRET CODES

Mercedes use coded radio messages to stop rival teams working out their strategy. Andrew Shovlin says the codes can tell George Russell and Kimi Antonelli whether they should pit under a Safety Car or VSC — and Mercedes change them every race weekend so rivals cannot crack the system.

🟠 WOLFF: NORRIS IS “IN A LEAGUE OF HIS OWN”

Toto Wolff has praised Lando Norris as being “in a league of his own” when it comes to managing rear-tyre overheating. That is particularly interesting with Oscar Piastri still trying to get more from the 2026 McLaren. Is Norris’ tyre management and adaptability the biggest difference between the two drivers?

🚨 NEWEY’S NEW ASTON MARTIN — HONDA UNDER PRESSURE

Aston Martin say every part of the 2027 AMR27 will be new as Adrian Newey and Enrico Cardile reshape the car for next season. First comes Baku, where Aston Martin expect to complete their weight-saving programme and effectively run the final version of the AMR26. That should give Lawrence Stroll another important benchmark for how much of the remaining deficit sits with the chassis and how much sits with Honda. No decision to end the Honda partnership has been confirmed.

🔥 HADJAR FACES FINAL RED BULL TEST

Isack Hadjar is undergoing a final simulator evaluation before Red Bull decide whether he can return in Baku. If he is cleared, Liam Lawson returns to Racing Bulls and Yuki Tsunoda resumes reserve duties. If Hadjar is not ready, Lawson could get another race alongside Max Verstappen.

Leclerc Says He DIDN’T Copy Lewis… But There’s A Twist! | F1 News

F1 News today as Fernando Alonso’s Aston Martin face a major engine question, with the team reportedly exploring future alternatives to Honda — only for Toto Wolff’s Mercedes stance to make one obvious Plan B look far more difficult.

Lando Norris has also challenged the explanation repeatedly offered for Oscar Piastri’s 2026 struggles, while McLaren believe they have found a fix for a key weakness in the MCL40 ahead of Baku. Plus Nico Rosberg delivers a brutal Williams verdict, Liam Lawson responds to Max Verstappen and Colton Herta makes a huge decision over his future.

🚨 ASTON MARTIN PLAN B BLOCKED?!

Lawrence Stroll has reportedly explored alternative future engine options for Aston Martin, including Mercedes. But Toto Wolff has made clear Mercedes intend to REDUCE the number of teams they supply in the next regulation cycle. Aston Martin are committed to Honda for the current era, but if they ever wanted a Mercedes return, that door may be much harder to reopen. What could that mean for Fernando Alonso?

🟠 NORRIS CHALLENGES PIASTRI EXPLANATION

Andrea Stella has repeatedly argued that Oscar Piastri’s struggles are technical rather than psychological, saying the Australian has to think about how to drive the lower-grip MCL40 instead of operating on instinct. But Lando Norris has now made a revealing point: the 2026 car does not naturally suit his driving style either. Norris says his strength has been adapting faster, raising a fascinating question over whether Piastri’s biggest problem is the car — or adapting to it.

🧡 McLAREN THINK THEY’VE FOUND THE FIX

McLaren are bringing a new underbody to the Azerbaijan GP aimed at improving efficiency in slow-speed corners, an identified weakness of the MCL40. A revised version of the “Macarena” rear wing is also available. Could Norris and Piastri finally have a more complete package in Baku?

🔵 ROSBERG BRANDS WILLIAMS A “SHOCKER”

Nico Rosberg says Williams “messed up the winter” and called their 2026 decline “a bit of a shocker”. Williams sit ninth in the Constructors’ Championship with 11 points, while James Vowles admits the remaining upgrades will not be enough to consistently fight for points.

🔥 LAWSON RESPONDS TO VERSTAPPEN

Max Verstappen believes the 2026 F1 cars can feel “numb to driver inputs”. Liam Lawson understands the point but insists adapting to a different car is far from simple, with energy management, cockpit preferences and driver-specific setup all adding complexity.

🇺🇸 HERTA RULES OUT ANOTHER F2 SEASON

Colton Herta says he has no interest in another Formula 2 season in 2027. The Cadillac F1 test driver still needs two more Super Licence points for an F1 race seat, leaving a huge question over his next move.

Aston Martin Engine Plan B In TROUBLE After Wolff U Turn?! | F1 News

F1 News today as Lewis Hamilton FIRES BACK at reports claiming he wants key Ferrari personnel replaced, issuing a direct public statement to shut down the latest Scuderia shake-up rumours.

Red Bull also face a fascinating Baku decision as Liam Lawson earns huge praise from Laurent Mekies after his impressive three-race comeback, while Isack Hadjar must pass a simulator fitness test before returning. Plus Fernando Alonso demands answers after another difficult Honda engine weekend and Alpine make a major technical signing.

🔴 HAMILTON SHUTS DOWN FERRARI SHAKE-UP CLAIMS

Hamilton has directly denied reports that he asked Ferrari to replace members of his trackside team. The seven-time World Champion said he has “never asked for anyone on my team to be replaced” and insisted the people around him work hard every day. The rumours followed claims of friction inside Ferrari and pressure for operational changes.

🟠 LAWSON IMPRESSES AS HADJAR FACES BAKU TEST

Laurent Mekies has praised Liam Lawson’s return to Red Bull after his disastrous two-race stint in 2025. Lawson finished P7 at Zandvoort and P6 in Madrid, with Mekies highlighting his calmer, simpler approach. But Isack Hadjar’s comeback could arrive in Baku. Red Bull will put him through a simulator test and only return him to the RB22 if his injured wrist is close to 100%.

🚨 ALONSO DEMANDS ASTON MARTIN HONDA REVIEW

Fernando Alonso says Aston Martin must investigate the “very bad” Honda engine behaviour he experienced in Madrid. Alonso finished P17 and reported boost-control problems, near-stalls and slow power recovery after lifting for blue flags. Honda recently said its B-spec power unit had improved enough in driveability to shift more focus towards performance.

🔵 ALPINE LAND FORMER MERCEDES TECH CHIEF

Alpine have appointed former Mercedes technical director Mike Elliott as Chief Technical Officer. Elliott will oversee the technical and engineering operation at Enstone, with Alpine saying his arrival strengthens the team as it targets the top four. He previously contributed to eight Constructors’ and eight Drivers’ Championships during his career.

Hamilton FIRES BACK After Ferrari Shake-Up Story EXPLODES! | F1 News

F1 News today as Ferrari return to Imola with Lewis Hamilton and Charles Leclerc, completing a major Pirelli 2027 tyre test at a circuit that could suddenly become hugely important to the end of the 2026 Formula 1 season.

Hamilton completed 64 laps in the SF-26, with Leclerc adding another 63 as Ferrari logged 127 laps in total. But the bigger question is why Imola is suddenly back in the spotlight. Formula 1 has confirmed that, if Qatar and Abu Dhabi cannot go ahead, the 2026 season could finish in Europe — and Imola is one of the venues under consideration.

🔴 FERRARI BACK AT IMOLA

Lewis Hamilton and Charles Leclerc were both back on track for Ferrari as the team completed a Pirelli tyre test ahead of 2027. Hamilton ran 64 laps and Leclerc 63, giving Ferrari valuable mileage around one of Formula 1’s most iconic circuits.

The timing is fascinating. Imola could yet return to the 2026 F1 calendar in a completely unexpected role if the final races in Qatar and Abu Dhabi cannot take place. Nothing is confirmed, but a Ferrari home finale at Imola would be an extraordinary way to end the season.

🚨 F1 GOES ALL-IN ON SPRINTS

Formula 1 has confirmed a record 10 Sprint weekends for 2027, up from six in 2026. Monaco gets a Sprint for the first time, alongside Bahrain, Australia, Japan and Abu Dhabi, while Portugal and Türkiye also return to the F1 calendar.

🔥 VERSTAPPEN ERUPTS OVER HAMILTON ORDER

Max Verstappen was furious after Red Bull told him to give positions back following his Turn 1 battle with Lewis Hamilton in Madrid. Verstappen argued Hamilton had almost hit him, but Red Bull chose to avoid the risk of a penalty. Max later blasted the situation as “mickey-mouse racing”.

🟠 LAWSON SAVED BY RED BULL PLAN?!

A report says Nikola Tsolov could spend 2027 as a Racing Bulls reserve while racing in Japanese Super Formula instead of immediately taking an F1 seat. Could that help Liam Lawson keep his Racing Bulls drive for another season?

💰 HAAS CHASING BIGGER 2027 BUDGET

Ayao Komatsu says Haas are making positive progress in talks with prospective partners as the team tries to move spending closer to F1’s $215m cost cap. BWT has been linked, although no deal has been announced.

Ferrari Back At Imola As F1 Eyes SHOCK Finale Switch?! | F1 News

F1 News today as Lewis Hamilton reportedly pushes for MORE changes inside Ferrari after his 2026 title challenge effectively collapsed in Madrid.

Hamilton has already helped reshape parts of Ferrari since joining, but fresh reports suggest the seven-time World Champion wants further changes to key trackside personnel as the Scuderia searches for answers after another failed title bid.

Plus, McLaren commit extra resources to help Oscar Piastri solve his 2026 struggles, Williams prepare a major B-spec car for Baku, Fernando Alonso warns F1 as the FIA tries to keep him on the grid, and Guenther Steiner calls Lando Norris “unprofessional” over the Coca-Cola row.

🔴 HAMILTON WANTS MORE FERRARI CHANGES?!

Hamilton’s move to Ferrari has already triggered major changes.

Ferrari replaced former race engineer Riccardo Adami for 2026 and Hamilton has repeatedly pushed the team to improve communication, execution and working methods.

Now F1Oversteer reports Hamilton wants further changes to key on-track personnel after Ferrari’s 2026 championship challenge faded.

How much influence should Hamilton have over Ferrari’s next rebuild?

🟠 McLAREN MOVE TO FIX PIASTRI

Oscar Piastri’s difficult season is becoming a major concern.

Piastri finished eighth in Madrid, sits seventh in the championship on 120 points and has not scored a podium since Miami.

Andrea Stella says Piastri needs to qualify better and find greater harmony with the MCL40, with McLaren reportedly allocating more resources to help him.

Can they get Oscar back to his best?

🔵 WILLIAMS BRING A B-SPEC TO BAKU

Williams are preparing one of their biggest upgrades of the season for Azerbaijan.

James Vowles has described it as effectively a B-spec car, including a new chassis and other major changes.

Williams sit ninth in the Constructors’ Championship with 11 points. Juan Pablo Montoya believes the Baku package could produce a HUGE step forward.

Will it transform their season?

🟢 ALONSO WARNS F1 AS FIA TRIES TO KEEP HIM

Fernando Alonso’s future is becoming one of F1’s biggest stories.

FIA president Mohammed Ben Sulayem says he does not want Alonso leaving because of the current regulations and wants to hear what needs to change.

Alonso’s response was brutal: F1 “cannot wait for 2031 to have a proper sport.”

Honda remain central to the debate as Aston Martin’s power unit programme struggles.

Can F1 convince Alonso to stay for 2027?

🥤 STEINER CALLS NORRIS “UNPROFESSIONAL”

Lando Norris caused a sponsorship row after drinking Coca-Cola in the Madrid cooldown room despite Pepsi being an official F1 partner.

Guenther Steiner called the moment unprofessional, although he also admitted the whole episode has become far bigger than it needed to be.

Was Norris out of line, or is this all ridiculous?

👇 JOIN THE DEBATE

Should Hamilton get the Ferrari changes he wants?
Can McLaren fix Piastri?
Will Williams’ B-spec work?
Will Alonso race in F1 in 2027?
And was Norris actually unprofessional?

Hamilton Wants Ferrari SHAKE UP After 2026 Title Collapse?! | F1 News

F1 News today as Ferrari launch a thorough investigation into the brake failure that ended Lewis Hamilton’s Spanish Grand Prix after just a handful of laps.

Hamilton went from fighting near the front at Madring to reporting a frightening change in brake-pedal feel before the pedal eventually went long and Ferrari retired the car. Now the team wants answers.

Plus, Honda make a major leadership change to their Formula 1 power-unit project as rumours continue around Aston Martin and Mercedes, McLaren refuse to blame race control for Lando Norris losing the Spanish GP, and Toto Wolff’s view of Hamilton’s 2026 title threat comes back into focus after Madrid.

🔴 FERRARI LAUNCH FULL INVESTIGATION

Lewis Hamilton’s Madrid race ended with a sudden brake problem.

Hamilton said the car initially began slowing normally into Turn 5 before the pedal changed and the Ferrari stopped decelerating as expected. The brakes briefly returned before the pedal later went long, forcing him to retire.

Ferrari are now carrying out a thorough investigation into exactly what happened.

With the SF-26 showing enough pace for Hamilton to briefly hold provisional pole in Q3, how costly was another reliability failure?

🟢 HONDA MAKE HUGE F1 LEADERSHIP CHANGE

Honda have confirmed a change at the top of their F1 power-unit programme.

Yoichiro Fukao will replace Tetsushi Kakuda as project leader from October 1. Honda call it a planned transition designed to accelerate development and prepare for 2027.

But the timing is fascinating.

Aston Martin’s difficult first season with Honda has already fuelled reports of possible future Mercedes discussions. F1Oversteer reports those rumours caused concern inside Honda.

Is Honda simply executing its plan — or is pressure around Aston Martin growing?

🟠 McLAREN REFUSE TO BLAME RACE CONTROL

Lando Norris looked on course to win in Madrid before the Virtual Safety Car transformed the race.

Norris had already passed the pit entrance when the VSC was deployed, allowing Antonelli and Verstappen to stop cheaply.

McLaren boss Andrea Stella says race control followed the current rules and should NOT be blamed. Instead, he believes F1 may need a wider discussion about whether the VSC regulations can be made fairer.

Does the rule need changing?

⭐ TOTO CHANGES HIS HAMILTON VIEW?!

Earlier this season Toto Wolff called Hamilton “absolutely” a 2026 title threat after his Ferrari victory in Barcelona.

Madrid changed the championship picture dramatically.

Hamilton retired, Antonelli won again and the gap between them has grown to 101 points. Hamilton himself now says there is “no stopping” Antonelli and Mercedes this year.

Was Wolff’s warning about his former driver finally proved wrong?

👇 JOIN THE DEBATE

What caused Hamilton’s brake failure?
Should Ferrari be worried about reliability?
Are Honda under pressure from Aston Martin?
Should F1 change the VSC rules?
And is Hamilton’s 2026 title challenge officially finished?

Ferrari Investigate Hamilton FAILURE After Madrid Nightmare! | F1 News

F1 News today as Ferrari leave Madrid facing even MORE questions after a Spanish Grand Prix weekend that promised so much but ended with Lewis Hamilton OUT and Charles Leclerc missing the podium.

Ferrari showed genuine pace at Madring, Hamilton even led provisionally in Q3, but Sunday delivered another painful result. With Fred Vasseur already under pressure, has another missed opportunity turned up the heat again?

Plus, McLaren lose a race Lando Norris looked set to win, Kimi Antonelli extends his championship lead, Max Verstappen’s Madring warning comes back into focus, and we RESOLVE Call the Weekend.

🔴 FERRARI NIGHTMARE DEEPENS?!

Hamilton qualified fourth after Ferrari repaired his car following an FP3 crash, while Leclerc started fifth.

But Ferrari could not turn that promising position into a podium.

Hamilton retired with a brake problem and Leclerc finished fourth, leaving Ferrari with another weekend where the result failed to match the promise.

Vasseur was already facing intense scrutiny heading into Madrid. Does this result pile even more pressure on the Ferrari boss?

🟠 DID McLAREN THROW AWAY THE WIN?

Lando Norris produced a stunning lap to take the first ever Madring pole by just 0.011s over Kimi Antonelli.

Norris then controlled the early stages of the race and looked on course for victory before the Virtual Safety Car and a costly McLaren pit stop changed everything.

He eventually finished third behind Antonelli and Max Verstappen.

Was this one McLaren let slip?

🏆 ANTONELLI TAKES CONTROL

Kimi Antonelli followed his Monza victory with another win in Madrid.

The Mercedes driver now has eight wins in 2026 and has extended his championship advantage over George Russell to 81 points.

Is the title fight slipping away from everyone else?

🚨 WAS VERSTAPPEN RIGHT ABOUT MADRING?

Before the race, Verstappen questioned whether overtaking would even be possible around Madring.

The inaugural race then proved extremely difficult for drivers to pass on track.

Does F1 already need to look at changes for Madrid 2027?

🔮 CALL THE WEEKEND — TIME TO FACE THE MUSIC

🏆 NORRIS TAKES THE FIRST MADRING POLE

Lando Norris starts from pole after a sensational final Q3 lap to beat championship leader Kimi Antonelli by just 0.011s.

Norris called it one of the best laps he has ever driven after finding a huge improvement when it mattered.

Can he convert the first ever Madring pole into victory?

⚫ ANTONELLI STARTS ALONGSIDE HIM

Kimi Antonelli topped FP2 and FP3 before missing pole by the smallest of margins.

The championship leader starts P2 with Max Verstappen directly behind in third and team-mate George Russell sixth.

Can Antonelli attack Norris into Turn 1?

🐂 VERSTAPPEN IS RIGHT THERE

Red Bull struggled for pace on Friday, but Verstappen found more when it mattered.

He starts third, only 0.140s from pole, putting him in position to attack Norris and Antonelli immediately.

🔴 HAMILTON LEADS FERRARI'S CHARGE

Lewis Hamilton briefly held provisional pole during Q3 before the final runs changed everything.

Hamilton starts fourth, just ahead of Charles Leclerc in fifth, giving Ferrari two cars directly behind the leading trio.

Hamilton also crashed at the final corner during FP3, but Ferrari repaired the car in time for qualifying.

Can Ferrari turn a strong grid position into a first Madring victory?

🟠 PIASTRI NEEDS A COMEBACK

Oscar Piastri starts seventh after a difficult qualifying session while team-mate Norris took pole.

With overtaking expected to be difficult, Piastri may need strategy to bring himself into the fight.

💥 STRATEGY COULD DECIDE EVERYTHING

Madring's long pitlane makes every stop expensive, while Friday running showed significant tyre degradation and front-left graining.

That creates a huge strategic question: protect track position with one stop, or attack with fresher tyres?

🏆 WHO TAKES THE FIRST MADRING POLE?

Friday showed just how close the battle could be.

George Russell topped FP1 for Mercedes before Kimi Antonelli set the Friday benchmark in FP2 with a 1:33.662.

Charles Leclerc was only 0.113s behind Antonelli and Lewis Hamilton just 0.149s back, putting Ferrari firmly in the fight.

One perfect lap could decide everything.

🔴 FERRARI HAVE A REAL SHOT

Ferrari finished FP2 second and third, with Leclerc and Hamilton separated by only 0.036s.

Leclerc is using an older ADUO1 power unit this weekend while Ferrari carries out further checks on the newer Monza engine.

Can Ferrari turn strong Friday pace into pole position?

⚫ ANTONELLI v RUSSELL

Antonelli arrives as championship leader and was fastest in FP2, while Russell topped FP1.

Mercedes have started the weekend strongly — but which driver delivers when Q3 begins?

🐂 CAN VERSTAPPEN FIND SOMETHING?

Max Verstappen was sixth in FP2, 0.401s away from Antonelli, with Red Bull searching for more grip and pace.

Qualifying is where Max so often finds another level. Can he do it again at a brand-new circuit?

🟠 McLAREN UNDER PRESSURE

Oscar Piastri finished seventh in FP2, while Lando Norris lost almost the entire session to a gearbox problem after completing only two laps.

McLaren now need a clean final practice and a big qualifying recovery.

💥 MADRING CAN BITE

Arvid Lindblad was fourth fastest in FP2 before crashing at Turn 13 and causing Friday's only red flag.

With close walls, rising speeds and overtaking expected to be difficult, qualifying could be the most important session of the weekend.
