As expected George Russell DSQ from the Belgian Grand Prix - as pointed out en route to the airport by Bernie Collins the extra tread wear on the tyres due to the 1 Stop coupled with no ā€˜cool down’ lap to pick up rubber, could have contributed to George’s car being underweight.

Mercedes announce Andrea Kimi Antonelli alongside George Russell for next season. No surprises there and no mention of 2026 when both drivers will be out of contract. Sensible and keeps their options open

Early start to tomorrow’s action here in Interlagos. Qualifying will be at 7.30am local time with the Grand Prix scheduled for 12.30pm. This is to maximise the chances of both taking place given the rain forecast for the afternoon

Sometimes there’s more to a story than just a sound bite or a chance to attack people for perception of British bias. For my part, as it’s a press conference for written media only, I never attend the post race conference, no matter who’s won. Thursday press conferences are

Busy day for F1 News then (and there’s more to come) As expected, Alpine will use Mercedes engines and gearboxes from 2026 onwards. Dan Fallows steps down as Aston Martin Technical Director which isn’t entirely unexpected and Neils Wittich ends his stint as FIA Race Director,

Once upon a time Eric Bristow was the Greatest. The baton was passed one special night to Phil Taylor who set new standards and was number 1 for many years to come. Then came Michael Van Gerwen, a winning machine from the start. Others came and displayed their talents but tonight

With both Charles Leclerc’s and Pierre Gasly’s car found to be underweight, the latest FIA document release states excessive wear of the plank on Lewis Hamilton’s Ferrari. Likely now that all 3 drivers will be DSQ’d from the Chinese GP.
