    What are the tyre strategy options for the Azerbaijan GP? (opens the original)

    In other years, four different manufacturers in the first four grid slots would have been cause for note, now it’s merely business-as-usual in an exceptionally competitive 2026 season. One thing that did raise eyebrows, however, is the margin of George Russell’s eventual pole position. Mercedes have looked rapid all weekend, but with championship leader Kimi Antonelli clipping a wall in Q1, Russell’s run to fifth pole of the season was serene – but his eight-tenths of a second margin to second-p

    The first four places on the grid for the Spanish Grand Prix are split between four different teams, with very little to separate them. Lando Norris made it three poles in four races, and the joy on his face was partially derived from knowing he’d put in a stellar lap, but also because overtaking here looks very, very difficult… but the Madring isn’t going to deliver a procession. Based on practice and our support races this weekend, F1’s newest track has potential for… mayhem. Potential for Saf

    Mercedes-powered cars made it 13 poles from 13 races in 2026 on Saturday afternoon, but no-one predicted Pierre Gasly would be the driver up top. While the Frenchman’s pace isn’t in doubt, Alpine haven’t really threatened the sharp-end of the grid in quite a while. Fastest in Q1, fourth in Q2, and quickest by six-hundredths when it mattered most. Presented with a rare opportunity, Gasly didn’t blink. But what happens on race day? Everything points to a one-stop race… but there are subtleties and

    McLaren are back after the summer break where they left off before it, with Lando Norris on pole by a tiny margin, after McLaren looked the class of the field across all three parts of Qualifying. But we also had a Sprint on Saturday, and the papaya cars were clearly struggling with rear grip over the longer distances. The difference between the Grand Prix and Sprint is, of course, the provision of strategy. There are many different ways to get to the finish – but also plenty of options to under

    Mercedes’ run of pole positions had to end eventually – though it was perhaps expected that Ferrari would be the ones to end it. Instead, McLaren’s first Grand Prix front row start of the season is also their first pole position. Their sizeable upgrade this weekend made itself felt with Lando Norris topping the timesheets in FP3 and Qualifying. Conventional wisdom will insist track position dominates at the Hungaroring – but the stats don’t bear that out. We haven’t had a winner from pole since
