Redbull may actually get a podium with Hadjar at this rate.

---------- Post added at 15:38 ---------- Previous post was at 15:37 ----------

What's with the Red Flag do they need to repair the barrier because the Ferrari got moved very quickly?

Re: Formula 1 2026 Season Thread
 

They cleared the other crash there :shrug:

That's embarrassing. Prince Albert have a word :no:

Re: Formula 1 2026 Season Thread
 

If they get a british council to fix the road in maybe fixed in time for the next race in 2027. :D

Re: Formula 1 2026 Season Thread
 

Build a roundabout there :woot:

Re: Formula 1 2026 Season Thread
 

So many infringements Hadjar has one that will be discussed after the race, I've no idea how the podium will look for 3rd spot.

Re: Formula 1 2026 Season Thread
 

Cringe Russell won't be on it

Re: Formula 1 2026 Season Thread
 

I'm glad Hamilton is and it's good for Hadjar assuming he doesn't drop with an investigation.

Gasly gets his 3rd place finish reinstated after appeal.

Well that's great. Charles p10 :no:

Re: Formula 1 2026 Season Thread
 

Just woke up from a nap and Charlie's crash is the first thing I saw.

Re: Formula 1 2026 Season Thread
 

Get in there, Lewis!

:)

Re: Formula 1 2026 Season Thread
 

How did he do that :clap: better him than Mr Cringe. Shame about Kimi :(

Re: Formula 1 2026 Season Thread
 

Excellent I couldn't watch it as in Ely by the river.

Re: Formula 1 2026 Season Thread
 

3 Brits on the podium

Re: Formula 1 2026 Season Thread
 

Russell was somewhat unlucky last grand pix with Lewis getting a pit stop under a virtual safety car . Today Russell goes through a single yellow flag in qauli 3, teammate Kimi had to abort for 2 yellow flags although Toto reckons Kimi misunderstood the flag. Anthony Davidson gave a clear breakdown of things.

Re: Formula 1 2026 Season Thread
 

Yes read about that as I wasn't able to watch it, the internet initially had a meltdown over Russell but he did nothing wrong.

Re: Formula 1 2026 Season Thread
 

Thanks I'll check it tomorrow need sleep for 3am wake-up! Won't get much in this heat.

Re: Formula 1 2026 Season Thread
 

Would love another Lewis win.

Kimi can't seem to keep it on the track the kids lost it.

Re: Formula 1 2026 Season Thread
 

Speechless if Lewis gets another win. That Ferrari isn't built for winning sadly.

Re: Formula 1 2026 Season Thread
 

Russell pulling away easily, Max is on Lewis tale.

Silverstone Sprint Qualifying starts at 16:30.

Re: Formula 1 2026 Season Thread
 

I noticed this late at the end of practice earlier. An action packed weekend :woot:

Re: Formula 1 2026 Season Thread
 

The best part is probably qualifying.

---------- Post added at 17:17 ---------- Previous post was at 16:57 ----------

Well done to Lewis getting Sprint Pole.

Re: Formula 1 2026 Season Thread
 

Aww hes well happy. Good for him. :D

Re: Formula 1 2026 Season Thread
 

Sprint Race is about to start, who is the most likely victor?

Re: Formula 1 2026 Season Thread
 

I was sleeping I woke as Kimi took the checkered flag. Why was sprint soo early?

Re: Formula 1 2026 Season Thread
 

Late night? Lol

It wasn't early, other sprint races are at 10-11am.

Qualifying today for the main event is at 4pm so don't go to bed again!

Re: Formula 1 2026 Season Thread
 

Yeah Argentina was playing and I think the week caught up with me. I'm up, showered and ready bring on qauli :woot:

Haven't Ferrari got the brains to build a championship winning car? It's so sad :shrug:

Re: Formula 1 2026 Season Thread
 

Ferrari is one of the best cars this year with their engineers, their car has the fastest top speed this weekend from what I read, it's just the Mercedes power unit maybe better, and they have Kim who appears unstoppable.

Re: Formula 1 2026 Season Thread
 

Luckily McLaren have massively dropped off.

Re: Formula 1 2026 Season Thread
 

The McLaren livery this weekend, orange is bad enough but...... :Yikes:

Re: Formula 1 2026 Season Thread
 

I wouldn't even notice they were there to begin with to be honest.

Re: Formula 1 2026 Season Thread
 

Congratulations to Kimi winning at Silverstone!

Ok maybe a bit premature but this is the likely result unless there is plenty of chaos with safety cars.

---------- Post added at 15:11 ---------- Previous post was at 15:01 ----------

Let's have a Ferrari 1 2.

---------- Post added at 16:10 ---------- Previous post was at 15:11 ----------

Charlie's is looking very good for the win now!

Re: Formula 1 2026 Season Thread
 

Aww bad luck but the kid wants to soldier on

Re: Formula 1 2026 Season Thread
 

I think Max will catch Lewis because his tyres are newer but it'll be great for a Ferrari 1 2.

Re: Formula 1 2026 Season Thread
 

Track limits for Kimi ?

Re: Formula 1 2026 Season Thread
 

Yep

---------- Post added at 16:19 ---------- Previous post was at 16:17 ----------

Max is out!

Ferrari 1 2 unless something goes pear shaped!

Yellow Flag infringement noted for Lewis!

Re: Formula 1 2026 Season Thread
 

Ah man one last racing lap would have dubbed this gp wild. Nothing boring about this one that's for sure.

Let's go Charles :cleader:

Re: Formula 1 2026 Season Thread
 

Ending it on a safety car is lame.

Re: Formula 1 2026 Season Thread
 

Yup :Yes:

Re: Formula 1 2026 Season Thread
 

What happened to Lewis yellow flag infringement, did it go to no further investigation?

Re: Formula 1 2026 Season Thread
 

Re: Formula 1 2026 Season Thread
 

That'll knock him right down the field, I wonder if the team have told him yet?

Re: Formula 1 2026 Season Thread
 

Would have got second place, if Ferrari hadn’t called him in for tyres during the safety car.

Re: Formula 1 2026 Season Thread
 

Russells now back in second place in the Driver Championship standings, only 25 points behind instead of 41 points just a few races a go.

They need to red flag those to allow some racing at the end.

Oops, lewis has scratched his car, Ferrari only have 2.5hrs to fix it before qualifying and it possibly needs a new PU and gearbox.

Skys piece on Arvid Lindblad was nice. Well done him starts 7th tomorrow.

Re: Formula 1 2026 Season Thread
 

The FIA are terrible, I don't think Lewis deserved a 5 second penalty after looking at the replay, I think it's bollox.

Re: Formula 1 2026 Season Thread
 

They got a cheap pit stop then screwed it up with Hamilton..

Let's go Charles :woot: he got away with a penalty :)

Re: Formula 1 2026 Season Thread
 

George has blamed his battery for his DNF saying Lewis didn't do anything wreckless.

Re: Formula 1 2026 Season Thread
 

:LOL: what was the penalty for then :no:

Re: Formula 1 2026 Season Thread
 

FIA are hopeless, apparently Charles should have definitely got a penalty but he didn't.

What happened there, loads of them were down on timing sectors end of Q3.. weird

Re: Formula 1 2026 Season Thread
 

I'm guessing the 2 yellow flags affected things, Russell and Max? I've lost track.

Top 10

1. Lando Norris (McLaren) - 1:17.207

2. Lewis Hamilton (Ferrari) +0.012

3. Charles Leclerc (Ferrari) +0.238

4. Kimi Antonelli (Mercedes) +0.272

5. Oscar Piastri (McLaren) +0.477

6. Max Verstappen (Red Bull) +0.518

7. George Russell (Mercedes) +0.533

8. Isack Hadjar (Red Bull) +0.649

9. Arvid Lindblad (Racing Bulls) +1.074

10. Nico Hulkenberg (Audi) +1.479

Re: Formula 1 2026 Season Thread
 

For some on hot laps but no, it didn't effect everyone. Hamilton and Charles both down on sectors. I thought they were just warming up to a mega lap. Sad :(

Re: Formula 1 2026 Season Thread
 

Lewis called to the stewards for impeding Oscar Piastri's.

Re: Formula 1 2026 Season Thread
 

Also the fact I'm out of work so can't afford the rip off prices for Sky Sports then F1

Re: Formula 1 2026 Season Thread
 

Have you considered IPTV? I know it's dodgy but I don't care, it costs around £20 a year, you set it up yourself on a streaming device.

I can point you in the right direction of where to purchase if you're interested(website), I even cancelled my TV License.

---------- Post added at 18:14 ---------- Previous post was at 18:11 ----------

Lewis dropped to 5th on the grid for impeding Oscar, his team didn't tell him Oscar was approaching.

I find the BBC F1 coverage website useless, it hasn't even updated for Lewis yet.

The Summer break has ended so it's RAWE CEEK again!

Red Bull driver Isack Hadjar is set to miss the Dutch Grand Prix with a wrist injury that he sustained during routine training.

Hadjar's replacement for the first race after Formula 1's summer break is also yet to be confirmed but it is expected that Liam Lawson will step up from junior team Racing Bulls to drive alongside Max Verstappen, with reserve driver Yuki Tsunoda set to deputise for Lawson alongside Arvid Lindblad.
