Antonelli wins fifth race on the spin, Hamilton second

Antonelli wins fifth race on the spin, Hamilton second

Published by Sam Flores

Verstappen has cut a very frustrated figure so far this season, with speculation swirling around his future at Red Bull and in the sport. However, he was in fine form yesterday and came so close to pole, only to be pipped by Antonelli by under half a tenth of a second. “If you would have told me yesterday [Friday] to be on the front row, I would have definitely taken it,” Verstappen said. “This morning [Saturday] we had quite some difficulties with the car so heading into qualifying and being up there was extremely positive. So overall, of course, extremely happy with how qualifying went, how all the laps went even though you have to deal with all the traffic and also the walls. But I am happy to be on the front row and then, tomorrow [today], let’s see in the start. These cars are quite complicated to start. I have two cars behind me that start quite well but we will see. This was a good day and definitely enjoyed it in qualifying.” Lewis Hamilton, …

F1 Monaco GP: Kim Kardashian arrives at Monte Carlo as boyfriend Lewis Hamilton targets glory

Inside Sport newsletter: Get an expert guide to the biggest moments shaping the world of sport Get our free Inside Sport newsletter Get our free Inside Sport newsletter Kim Kardashian was present in the Monaco Grand Prix paddock on Saturday, publicly supporting Lewis Hamilton as he vied for his first pole position with Ferrari. The 41-year-old racing driver’s relationship with the reality television star has been a subject of speculation since the beginning of the year, with Kardashian making their romance ‘Instagram official’ just this week. Her arrival in Monte Carlo, however, marked her first appearance in the Formula One paddock since the pair began their relationship. Hamilton will undoubtedly be hoping to commemorate their joint F1 debut with a coveted maiden pole position for Ferrari. The principality’s slow-speed, twisty circuit is widely considered to play to Ferrari’s strengths, and Hamilton demonstrated this potential by finishing 0.111 seconds ahead of his teammate Charles Leclerc during Friday’s practice session. Kim Kardashian and Lewis Hamilton were first linked in February after being spotted together at a hotel …

Vasseur ‘under observation’ and Ferrari boss will miss Monaco GP qualifying

Vasseur ‘under observation’ and Ferrari boss will miss Monaco GP qualifying

Published by Sam Flores

Frédéric Vasseur, the Ferrari team principal, will miss qualifying in Monaco on Saturday after being taken unwell. Ferrari drivers Lewis Hamilton and Charles Leclerc are both expected to challenge for pole position, but Vasseur, 58, is being kept “under observation” at a local medical facility in Monaco.  It is unclear whether the Frenchman will be back in time for Sunday’s grand prix. No further medical information was provided by the team, who merely said in a statement on Saturday morning that they wished their boss a “speedy recovery” and looked forward to seeing him back at the track “soon”. Vasseur will miss the most important qualifying session of the season, given how difficult it is to overtake around Monaco’s tight, twisty streets during the actual race.  Moreover, it is a qualifying session for which his team are highly fancied. Hamilton, who is still searching for his first Ferrari win, and Leclerc, a local who has a stellar record at his home race, finished one-two in both practice sessions on Friday. The Monegasque topped the first …

Kimi Antonelli wins Canadian GP after George Russell retires from lead

Kimi Antonelli wins Canadian GP after George Russell retires from lead

Published by Sam Flores

No wonder Russell admitted to being “a bit lost for words” once he had finally made it back to the paddock, on the back of a marshal’s scooter. “I mean, everything just turned off all of a sudden,” he reported of his failure, which came at the end of the straight leading to the final chicane, causing Russell to go straight over the grass, cutting the corner, before pulling his car up on the side of the track. “The engine stopped. No electronics. Nothing. “I’ve got to be honest, though, I’m proud of my weekend. Pole in the sprint, won the sprint. Pole in the main race, I was leading after a good battle with Kimi. There’s not much more I could have done. So I’ll leave satisfied. I’m pretty damn frustrated, but there’s not much I can do.” The day had dawned dark, damp and cold, as forecast. With a light drizzle preceding the race, teams were left with a bit of a conundrum; whether to start on the intermediate tyres and hope the …

Russell takes last-gasp pole after clashing with Antonelli in Canada sprint

Russell takes last-gasp pole after clashing with Antonelli in Canada sprint

Published by Sam Flores

Antonelli was told to calm down by race engineer Peter “Bono” Bonnington after his outburst over the radio after the first incident. But when he carried on complaining, he earned a rebuke from his team principal Toto Wolff, who told him to “concentrate on the driving”. Then, at the end of the race, after Antonelli went off track a third time trying to pass Norris and was looking to vent his spleen again on the cool-down lap, Wolff shut him down a second time. “Kimi, now is not the time to talk about this. We will talk about this later, not on the radio.” The two Mercedes men had a brief handshake after getting out of their cars, but it promised to be an awkward debrief. Sky Sports F1 pundit Martin Brundle said it was no surprise to see the two come to blows given they are fighting for the title. Russell is under pressure this weekend because Antonelli has won the last three races to take the championship lead. “It was always going to …

Aside from being one of the best drivers on the Formula 1 grid, Charles Leclerc is a man of many talents — piano, chess and, as of late, whisky making. What began as an official partnership between Scotch whisky brand Chivas Regal and Leclerc in March 2025, where the Ferrari driver was named global brand ambassador, has now turned into their debut co-created expression: a blend of 16 whiskies, each aged at least 16 years, to symbolize the number that has defined Leclerc’s life and career. limited-edition Chivas Regal Charles Leclerc 16-Year-Old Blended Scotch Whisky The limited-edition release marks Chivas Regal’s first-ever 16-year-old bottle and Leclerc’s first-ever whisky-making experience. Just ahead of Sunday’s Miami Grand Prix, The Hollywood Reporter caught up with Leclerc to talk life off the track: his favorite book (he’s an avid reader), his music endeavors (yes, he’s also a self-taught composer) and his newly launched 16-year-old blend co-created …

Kimi Antonelli claims hat-trick of wins to pile pressure on George Russell

Kimi Antonelli claims hat-trick of wins to pile pressure on George Russell

Published by Sam Flores

Championship leader Kimi Antonelli will start today’s Miami Grand Prix pole. Antonelli only finished sixth in the Sprint earlier on Saturday but delivered a time good enough for pole with his first effort in Q3. Antonelli’s lead at the top of the drivers’ standings was cut to seven points to his teammate George Russell after the Sprint but has the chance to extend his lead today. “It has been an amazing day to be on pole again,” Antonelli said. “It was a difficult start with the Sprint when it did not go our way but super happy with the recovery. I got a bit excited with the last lap in Q3 but the first lap was good enough and I am really happy with that.” Antonelli will be joined on the front row by Max Verstappen, who was the only driver to properly improve with his second and final run in Q3. “It is an incredible turnaround for us,” said Verstappen. “I really did not feel in control of the car up until this weekend. …

Lando Norris takes Miami GP sprint pole to deny Mercedes for first time in 2026

Lando Norris takes Miami GP sprint pole to deny Mercedes for first time in 2026

Published by Sam Flores

It has been a long time, hasn’t it? With the cancellation of the Bahrain and Saudi Arabian races, F1 has had an enforced and unexpected spring break after just three rounds of the new regulation set. But here we are, back in Miami for a sprint weekend, with some tweaks to the regulations. Without going into too much detail – and the new regulations are so detailed that it beggars belief – there will, of course, be hope that the tweaks make for better, more sensible racing as well as bringing some of the challengers close to leaders Mercedes. Hard to say if that has happened on the basis of one (albeit extended) practice session in Miami, but there were some fairly promising signs. Charles Leclerc was fastest for Ferrari ahead of Max Verstappen in the Red Bull, nearly 0.3sec behind, followed by Oscar Piastri, Ferrari team-mate Lewis Hamilton and then the lead Mercedes of Kimi Antonelli. George Russell, who is hoping to overturn the Italian’s championship advantage this weekend, was sixth, only marginally behind …
