🥹❤️ Kimi Antonelli broke down in tears while remembering his grandfather after becoming World Champion. “That song was very emotional for me because it was a song my grandfather used to listen to all the time.” Kimi then paused, overcome with emotion, before adding: “I think he would be very proud.” “Oh my God, I’ve cried way too much today.” Not just a championship. A moment for someone who couldn’t be there to see it. ❤️ (via. @kikotonelli) #F1 https://t.co/R21XiN7JYx

#F1 #SingaporeGP #Formula1 - Verstappen Takes Sprint Pole Amid F1 Overtake Mode Controversy | Singapore Grand Prix 2026: Autosport

9 October 2026

Jake Boxall-Legge is reporting from the ground in Singapore after a dramatic Friday at Marina Bay, with Max Verstappen taking sprint pole and a technical issue with F1’s overtake mode becoming the major talking point. Verstappen set a 1m31.156s to head George Russell in sprint qualifying, with Oscar Piastri, Lando Norris and Lewis Hamilton completing the top five. But the session was overshadowed by an FIA system issue following Sergio Perez’s Q1 red flag, which saw overtake mode briefly reactivated before being switched off again. Jake explains what happened, which drivers may have been affected and why the incident has left several teams questioning whether the playing field was level. There is also an important early read on Mercedes’ split-spec experiment, with Russell running the older package and Kimi Antonelli using a hybrid of the new and old specifications. Away from the immediate qualifying drama, Jake looks at the growing debate over Formula 1’s cost cap and capital expenditure rules, with Williams pushing for greater flexibility for teams still developing their facilities. With the sprint race and Grand Prix qualifying still to come, Jake looks ahead to what could be another unpredictable weekend under the Singapore lights. 00:00 Sprint qualifying recap 02:48 Overtake mode controversy explained 03:41 Who was affected? 04:59 The performance implications 06:06 Could the results be challenged? 07:25 Mercedes split-spec update 07:51 The F1 cost cap debate 09:40 How the rules affect teams 10:57 How rival teams see the issue 12:06 Looking ahead to Saturday

#F1 #Formula1 #AzerbaijanGP - Russell Finally Delivers in Baku | Azerbaijan Grand Prix 2026: Autosport

27 September 2026

George Russell finally converted pole position into victory as the Azerbaijan Grand Prix erupted into a dramatic late-race battle. Stuart Codling looks back at a race of two halves in Baku — a relatively processional opening before Alex Albon’s crash triggered a chaotic sequence of safety cars, restarts and incidents. Russell had built a lead of more than 10 seconds before the safety car closed everything up, leaving Max Verstappen right on his heels for the final laps. Could Red Bull have taken the win they were targeting? Behind them, Isaac Hadjar completed an impressive return to the podium, while Oscar Piastri crashed out after struggling to get his medium tyres up to temperature. Kimi Antonelli also produced a remarkable recovery from 16th on the grid to finish fifth, while Lewis Hamilton endured another frustrating afternoon. And then there was Franco Colapinto’s dramatic restart incident, which eliminated Lando Norris and Pierre Gasly and prompted some strong reactions from the McLaren camp. Stuart also takes a closer look at Sergio Perez’s surprisingly strong underlying performance for Cadillac — despite finishing only 15th. CHAPTERS: 00:00 – Russell finally gets his third win 01:05 – Chaos strikes: Albon, Colapinto and the first restart 01:35 – How Russell built his winning advantage 02:02 – Verstappen turns up the pressure 02:58 – Piastri crashes as the race unravels 03:28 – The dramatic finish: Russell vs Verstappen 03:48 – Russell’s win and Verstappen’s regrets 04:30 – Hadjar’s brilliant return to the podium 05:19 – Antonelli’s recovery from P16 06:54 – Hamilton’s frustrating afternoon 07:20 – Lindblad, Ocon and the midfield battle 08:54 – Colapinto’s costly crash with Norris 09:45 – Why Perez’s P15 doesn’t tell the full story 11:15 – The verdict from Baku
