Russell DEMANDS Antonelli's CAR! | F1 News

Breaking F1 News as Red Bull chooses Tom Hart to succeed Gianpiero Lambiase as Max Verstappen’s race engineer — but will Verstappen still be at the team when the change is completed?

We examine Hart’s Red Bull history, the transition plan already underway and what Lambiase’s move to McLaren could mean for Verstappen’s future.

Welcome back to F1 Grandstand with Tony Craig — bringing you the biggest F1 News, Formula 1 updates and F1 Driver Market discussion from inside the paddock.

🚨 TODAY’S F1 NEWS:
• Red Bull selects Max Verstappen’s next race engineer
• Who is Tom Hart and why has he been chosen?
• When could Hart replace Gianpiero Lambiase?
• How Red Bull is preparing him for the role
• Why Verstappen’s future remains the biggest question
• What Lambiase’s McLaren move means for Red Bull

👀 RED BULL CHOOSES LAMBIASE’S SUCCESSOR

Red Bull has confirmed that Tom Hart is set to succeed Gianpiero Lambiase, Verstappen’s race engineer since the Dutchman joined the senior team in 2016.

Hart has worked within Verstappen’s engineering group for several seasons and previously served as a performance engineer before moving into a wider role covering both Red Bull cars.

👀 WHO IS TOM HART?

Hart is regarded as a calm, analytical and highly respected engineer. His performance-engineering background means he already understands Verstappen’s telemetry, setup preferences, energy deployment and working methods.

He is not completely new to the race-engineer position. Hart previously guided Verstappen during selected practice sessions and has gained further experience through Red Bull testing and filming-day running.

👀 WHEN WILL THE CHANGE HAPPEN?

The exact handover date has not been finalised.

Lambiase is due to join McLaren as Chief Racing Officer no later than 2028, with Hart expected to step into the role more regularly before Lambiase’s Red Bull departure.

Reports indicate Hart could become the full-time race engineer from the beginning of 2027, depending on Lambiase’s final working arrangements.

👀 WILL VERSTAPPEN EVER WORK WITH HART?

That is the biggest question.

Verstappen and Lambiase have built one of Formula 1’s most successful driver-engineer partnerships, winning four World Championships together. Replacing that trust, authority and instinctive communication will be a huge challenge.

With continued uncertainty surrounding Verstappen’s longer-term Red Bull future, could Hart become Max’s permanent race engineer — or is Red Bull preparing him for whoever eventually replaces Verstappen?

👇 JOIN THE DEBATE:
Is Tom Hart the right choice?
Should Red Bull begin the transition before Lambiase leaves?
Can anyone recreate the Verstappen-Lambiase relationship?
And will Max Verstappen still be racing for Red Bull when Hart takes over?

👀 ANTONELLI MAKES A STATEMENT

Kimi Antonelli has been the standout driver all weekend, converting his impressive Friday pace into Pole Position at Spa. The Mercedes rookie extracted every ounce of performance when it mattered most and heads into Sunday's race full of confidence.

👀 RUSSELL'S BIG QUESTION

The biggest surprise wasn't Pole Position—it was the gap.

George Russell qualified fourth, but finished around half a second behind his teammate in identical machinery. Mercedes believes energy harvesting and deployment played a key role, leaving Russell with plenty to analyse before the race.

👀 VERSTAPPEN, FERRARI & McLAREN

Max Verstappen secured a front-row start after another strong Red Bull performance, while Charles Leclerc narrowly edged Lewis Hamilton in an incredibly close Ferrari battle. McLaren also showed encouraging pace, although grid penalties will shake up Sunday's starting order.

👀 LINDBLAD CONTINUES TO IMPRESS

One of the stars of qualifying was Arvid Lindblad, who delivered another superb performance for Racing Bulls to reach Q3. The rookie continues to build an impressive reputation with every race weekend.

Tomorrow it's all about the Belgian Grand Prix, where strategy, tyre management and Spa's unpredictable conditions could completely change the outcome.

🏁 THE BELGIAN GP WEEKEND STARTS HERE

Practice 1 is our first chance to discover who has arrived at Spa with genuine pace.

With low-drag setups, circuit-specific upgrades and unpredictable Ardennes weather, FP1 could immediately reveal which teams have found performance and which still have work to do before qualifying.

Using live timing, mini track visuals and instant reaction, we'll follow every important lap as the Belgian Grand Prix weekend gets underway.

⚡ WHO HAS THE EARLY SPA PACE?

Spa rewards confidence.

Teams need efficient straight-line speed through Kemmel, stability through Eau Rouge and Raidillon, strong energy management and a balanced car capable of handling one of Formula 1's most demanding circuits.

Mercedes arrives hoping a special Belgian Grand Prix upgrade will answer Ferrari's recent pace, while Ferrari looks to prove Silverstone was no one-off. Red Bull has reverted to its previous rear-wing specification after abandoning its experimental design, and McLaren brings a new rear-wing assembly and the latest Mercedes power unit as it looks to rebound from a difficult British Grand Prix.

👀 FP1 PRESSURE

There are huge questions to answer from the very first laps.

Can Mercedes reassert itself after Ferrari's recent resurgence? Will Ferrari carry its momentum into another high-speed circuit? Can Max Verstappen and Red Bull bounce back after recent setbacks? And will McLaren's latest upgrades finally deliver the performance boost the team has been targeting?

📊 LIVE DATA + MINI TRACK

Follow every lap with live timing, mini track visuals, sector analysis and Tony Craig's live commentary throughout Practice 1.

We'll track upgrade performance, tyre behaviour, long-run pace, sector gains, team radio clues and the first real signs of who could be the team to beat this weekend at Spa.
