Unbelievable 35 lap stint from Charles Leclerc on hard tyres, still lapping within a couple of tenths of Kimi and Max.
You wonโt hear any praise from the Sky F1 commentators about this thoughโฆ
Unbelievable tyre management from Charles Leclerc.
Lapping faster than Antonelli and Verstappen on 15-lap older tyres.
Safety car due to Stroll crashingโฆ
Not great for Charles Leclerc who is on hard tyres and stays out.
Fernando Alonso on Carlos Sainz:
โThe start, he crashed into 2 people. Now, he squeezed me into the wall!โ

If you donโt speak to Martin Brundle on the grid walk, you shouldnโt be on the grid. Itโs as simple as that.
๐จ| F1โs 2026 cars could be faster on the Hungaroring straight than at Monza.
Monzaโs long straights and few braking zones mean there are limited opportunities to harvest energy into the battery. With energy depleted, cars will stop accelerating earlier, limiting top speed.
๐๏ธ| Stefano Domenicali on Sprints:
โToday, around 40% of the people who follow us come from the female audience, and the average age has fallen from around 57 to 34.โ
โYoung people increasingly appreciate a weekend in which there is already something that matters on Friday. Long-time fans, and I include myself among them, may also be interested in a practice session, but for the wider public, having qualifying already on Friday means having more meaningful content.โ
๐๏ธ| Stefano Domenicali on the length of races:
โIt fits with the fact that young people tend to engage less and less with things that are long. I donโt think there would be a negative effect if we are talking about reducing the race by two or three laps. Iโm not against it.โ
๐๏ธ| โCould you see Kimi, as an Italian, is he maybe one day in the future at Ferrari?โ
โI think anythingโs possible. I mean, the truth is thereโs a lot of great drivers that could join Ferrari in the future. I think Ferrariโs Ferrari. I think the Italians, itโs the Pope and Ferrari, as far as Iโm aware, and pasta and pizza and family, you know?โ
โHeโs obviously in the early stages of his life. Totoโs not going to let him go anytime soon.โ
๐๏ธ| Lewis Hamilton on his new F40:
โItโs the dream car of mine. So Iโve been looking for one for a while, and I wanted one with low mileage. I wanted one with a story.โ
โThis one that the owner had bought it, drove it from Maranello to his home, 69 kilometers, and then parked it and never started it again, and the passenger door had never been opened.โ
โWhen they took the engine out, they found out the engineโs number 44. Itโs got stamped on the engine number 44. I couldnโt believe it. And so it feels very much fate.โ
